Can't stop page breaks on my grouped list

All,
I've created a list and defined a group for monthly period. In the
list, I include several controls that show each month's summary values.
Unfortunately, each month's set of controls is appearing on separate
pages. The sections are small enough to fit two or three per page.
I've verified that the two page break properties are both set to False.
I've set the Keep Together property to False. What else am I missing?
Are their layout issues concerning margins or anything like that? This
is the first time I've tried to use grouped lists so I don't know what
to think.
I created the report with the report wizards and then modified it from
there. Maybe that will help.
Thanks,
DavidIt's me...the originator of this message.
I apparently have not found the list control's property that made it
serve as the Page field container that I chose in the New Report Wizard
(Matrix report). I would have thought the New Page After property.
Nevertheless, I created a new list control and copied my controls into
it. After defining my group, all worked as expected.
So if you're reading this and have a guess why the list control
mysteriously ejected pages, please respond. I'm interested.
David|||What was the property ? I am having a similar problem with the
occasional page in my report (200 pages) breaking about half way down
the page.

cant start Trace

I just created a server side Trace with no filters for testing but Im not
able to start it. I call sp_trace_setstatus 1,1 and it says completed
successfully. It then creates the file it writes too but never writes to it
when I generate activity. Any ideas why?
TIA, ChrisR

Hi Chris
With server side traces, SQL Server writes to the file in 128K chunks, so
you won't see anything written until you have 128K worth of activity.
Look at fn_trace_getinfo( ) to check that your trace really is running.
Then try stopping and closing the trace:
sp_trace_setstatus 1, 0 -- stop the trace
sp_trace_setstatus 1, 2 -- close the trace
You must stop before closing or the close won't do anything. Only after
closing SQL Server write to the file.
Or, you can stop the SQL Server services, and that will also flush the
collected trace events to the file.

Please read my first reply again. You must first stop (set status to 0) and
then close (set status to 2).
If you want to save the trace definition, save the SQL commands that you
used to start it, and write them to a file that you can load up again.

Can't start a job that was created by user A from user B

Hello all,
I have a job I created with user A, but I need user B to be able to execute
this job programatically. I've given user B permission to EXECUTE the
"msdb.dbo.sp_start_job" sproc and the user is able to execute it but with an
error thrown. The following is the error I get when I run it with user B.
This error does not appear when I run it with user A.
The specified @.job_name ('MyJobName') does not exist.
After doing some research by looking at the system sprocs, I found that the
error is thrown from a call made to 'msdb.dbo.sp_verify_job_identifiers'. I
researched that sproc and then found the system code that is throwing the
error, listed below.
-- Check if the job name is ambiguous
IF ((SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs_view
WHERE (name = @.job_name)) > 1)
BEGIN
RAISERROR(14293, -1, -1, @.job_name, @.name_of_id_parameter,
@.name_of_name_parameter)
RETURN(1) -- Failure
END
I performed a SELECT * query to the sysjobs_view view with user B and 0 rows
were returned. So it appears that the view is filtering the results by user
and the job is not found which is causing the error.
Do you guys know of a way I can make this work? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Johnny

Can't send out mail if Outlook not open ?

Dear experts,
In my server, I have created a scheduled task that use SENDMAIL to send some
reports to my boss email ... but I find that if the mail cannot send out if
the OUTLOOK in the server was closed ... everytime I need to open the OUTLOOK
and press SEND/RECEIVE to send those mail out. (It will be a big trouble if
we have a few days holiday) ...
So can anyone know why the SENDMAIL function cannot operate when the OUTLOOK
is closed ? if so, can someone tell me how to solve this problem (except
ALWAYS OPEN THE OUTLOOK), thanks very much for all of your concern & helping
!!!
Some versions of Outlook require keeping Outlook open for
SQL Mail to work correctly. You may also want to refer to
the following articles:
INF: How to Configure SQL Mail
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=263556
INF: Common SQL Mail Problems
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315886
One way around this is to not use Outlook, MAPI for mail and
just use smtp. You can download an extended stored procedure
to send mail using SMTP. You can find the download and more
information at:

Can't seem to get the newly created entry's identity field :(

Hi there,

I have a stored procedure that executes a transaction which updates/inserts into a table on a remote server and should then use that new entry's autogenerated primary key to update another table.
I try to store that key into a variable called @.NewlyCreatedPastelDClinkNumber but to no avail

I have used the @.@.Identity approach and now try to manually get that key to from other information but still no go..My thinking is: since i am using transactions, maybe the entry cant be found until the transaction has been committed...but surely it should find it after the commit statement? Here is my code: I have marked the interesting bit with blue for simplicity.

Don't check for the data and then do the update. Simply DO the update first. If you update 0 rows, then you do the insert. This cuts exection in half when there is an update to be performed.

Problem 2)

IMMEDIATELY after the INSERT, put the @.@.ERROR and @.@.ROWCOUNT AND scope_identity() values into a variable. Then act on those three in appropriate order.

Problem 3)

You should use a remote sproc to do the update/insert stuff on the remote server. MUCH more efficient. Pass parameters in and then local stuff does work with a cached query plan and only one network trip.

Can't see the Report Manager page

Hi There,

I have installed the Sql Server 2005 reporting services and I see that two default directories being created in IIS (Report and ReportServer..). For some reason, if I type http://localhost/reports, I am unable to see the report manager homepage. Can anybody suggest me if I need to configure any more stuff to see the report manager?

I enabled the anonymous authentication and still cannot see....

I can see the webservice however by typing http://localhost/reportserver...

Any suggestions are greatly apprecaited...

Thanks.

Sam.

I got it. I had to set up the reportserver to be accessible anonymous along with Reports.

Thanks.

Cant see stored procedures

Hi,

Can anyone help me. I've created a stored procedure in sql server and I'm trying to run it from my asp.net page. On Database Explorer I can't see it, or any for that matter, however I can see tables in the same schema.

Also I can't see it when I build a table adapter either.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Sam

My first suspicion is that you didn't succeed in creating the stored procedure as you think you have done. To allay that suspicion, can you see the proc in Sql Server Management Studio?

|||

Yes I can see it and execute it, it works fine through sql server

I'm thinking that it might be because I'm using the express versions of the software sql server studio and visual web developer. Do you think that might be limiting the functionality?

|||

No. That wouldn't limit what you can see in the Database explorer. I've just attached Northwind to SqlExpress, and can see the procs, views etc in DataBase Explorer in VWD.

Try clicking the Refresh button at the top of the Database Explorer panel.

|||

check you master database mybe you created it in default database which is usual master when you open New Query window.If it is true put line below on top of your proceureUSE [DATABASE NAME] GO

|||

As JPazgier mentioned you probably created the proc in the default master db. If so, script out the proc, drop the proc from master db, re-create it in the actual db. If that is not the case and the proc is already in the right database, then check your connection string to see if your application is connecting to the right database.

Can't see new objects created in SQL Server from C#

We have just installed SQL and C# Express. We have lots of experience with SQL, but none with C#. With both the SQL and C# apps running; if we create a new table, view etc, we cannot see that new object from C# only the objects that existed when we opened the apps for the first time (each time).

If we close everything and re-open everything from scratch, the new objects show..!?!?

Thank you for any information on this difficult problem.

Hard to tell without knowing which technique youuse to display the objects and if there is eventually somehow a caching mechanism involved. Could you post some code which does the retrieval ?

Then I changed the display folder to 'Special Countries' in the mask 'Calculation properties' without selecting an 'Associated Measure Group'. After building the cube I can even see that display folder in the left-side tree of the 'Browse' window.
But after connecting to the cube with Excel 2007 the named set is not available for selection.

It seems that I am missing an important point.

I'm using Excel 2007 against the Adventure Works DW database and the Adventure Works cube. In the Account dimension, I see the [Summary P&L] named set. It has a Display folder of Sets and an Associated Measure Group of Financial Reporting.

You may want to compare what you have to what is in Adventure Works.

|||Hi Bryan,

it took some time to install the Adventure Works Cube (actually I have completely reinstalled my pc), sorry for the late reply.
But even with your example I am unable to find the named set in the PivotTable Field List in Excel 2007. There is simply no folder 'Sets' containing the named set [Summary P&L].
I do see the [Summary P&L] in the cube (in the specified folder) and it is well defined under the mask 'Calculation properties', but in Excel 2007 it is not listed.

Kind regards,

I can see [Summary P&L] under the Account dimension. I use the enterprise edition version of the Adventure Works cube project. Make sure that you see the whole cube and not only a perspective("Show related fields to" at the top of the dimension tool)

Hi Thomas,

thank you for your reply.
I am using the Aventure Works cube project entreprise edition as well.In Excel 2007 the dropdown list 'Show fields related to' is set to the property 'All', so I think that I am not restricted to a perspective.
I can browse the cube in the SQL Server Management Studio(as well as in the BI Development Studio) and see the named sets as defined, but with Excel 2007 the named sets are not listed (neither the [Summary P&L] under the Account dimension nor the folder 'Sets' with 'Core Product Group', 'Long Lead Products',.... under the Product dimension).
By the way, I have Excel 2007 (12.0.6024.5000) MSO(12.0.6017.5000). Maybe I have a different version of Excel 2007?

Kind regards,

Can''t see named sets in Excel 2007

Hi there,

I am not able to see the named sets in the PivotTable Field List in Excel 2007. I created e.g. the simple named set

CREATE SET CURRENTCUBE.[Austria]
AS [CUSTOMER].[COUNTRY].&[Austria] ;

Then I changed the display folder to 'Special Countries' in the mask 'Calculation properties' without selecting an 'Associated Measure Group'. After building the cube I can even see that display folder in the left-side tree of the 'Browse' window.
But after connecting to the cube with Excel 2007 the named set is not available for selection.
