Can't Sum Table Fields in SQL 2000 Reporting Services Report

I have a report in SQL 2000 Reporting Services with several tables.
The only thing showing in these tables are the group footers because
the detail data is not needed.
I am needing to add a total for a column in each table and then add
those totals together in a text box.
When ever I do this I am getting the following errors:
The value expression for the text box 'textbox58' uses an aggregate
function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on
report items contained in page headers and footers.
The value expression for the text box 'textbox37' uses an aggregate
expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates
used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one
data set.
I've tried several different ways and still can't figure it out, PLEASE
HELP!!A few design suggestions. If you don't need the detail then don't return it.
Let SQL Server do the work. But, let's say you continue the way you are
today. What I do sometimes is to add a colum to the result set and make it
calculated, then using the expression editor make it the sum of the two
fields. This makes things a whole lot easier at times.
Once you have done this you can use the expression editor, base it on the
dataset and sum up the column.

In my dataset there are 5 columns that will alwayse have the same
result and one column that has detail data that needs to be summed. If
I sum that one column in SQL I have to have the other columns in an
aggregate function as well. In SQL 2000 the "First" function is not
supported. Any ways around that?
Once I get the totals in each table on my report how can I grab those
totals and sum them in a textbox? It keeps telling me that "Aggregate
functions can be used only on
report items contained in page headers and footers."
Thanks A Lot!

ReportItems("textbox2").Value etc.
You need to know the names of the textboxes, so you might want to name the
textboxes with something more descriptive than textbox1 etc before you start
summing. :)
(Not sure if it's ReportItems or ReportItem, so you might have to try both.)

Can't start transactional replication SQL 2005. System.OutOfMemory Exception during start

We currently use log shipping to 2 other servers for reporting. We
want to use transactional replication instead, so that our reporting
databases are always available (when the restore agent runs the
database is unavailable for a few seconds) and to reduce the latency
between changes in the main database appearing in our reporting
database.
I've successfully got replication to work on a test scenario (with
only a few thousand rows) but when I try and get transactional
replication going on our production site I get a System.OutOfMemory
exception when performing the snapshot. It fails at about 40 percent
of one of our larger tables (157 million rows.) The database backup
is about 27GB.
The hardware has 4GB memory, 2 dual core x86 running 32bit Windows
Server 2003.
We are running SQL2005 Standard edtion SP2, but I had the same problem
on SP1.
I've tried the /3GB switch.
I've tried putting the distrubutor on the main server, and on a
seperate server, and on the reporting box.
I've tried pull and push subscriptions.
I'm going to try a row filter to pull only the most recent data (to
drop the number of rows) and see at what point it fails, but this is a
fairly long interative process. And we do need all the data in the
end.
I'm looking for advice, has anybody else had similar problems?
Is there a way to start replication from a restored database?
I'm considering installing more Memory - but am unsure how to estimate
how much more memory we need. Also our machines run fine with 4GB of
memory normally; I can't really afford to buy more memory just to
"start" the replication process going (but of course I guess this
depends on how much more I would need!)
Daniel Bryars
This is something that I would really like to have a closer look so let me
ask you a few questions:
1) Is snapshot.exe consuming a large amount of memory according to taskmgr?
2) Do you have a pagefile configured on the distributor machine? I have
heard of one case where disabling the pagefile seemed to be the cause of OOM
error in the snapshot agent. I suspect that this may have something to do
with the use of memory mapped file in the underlying BCP api but I was never
able to prove one way or another.
3) Do you have a large amount of blob column data?
If possible, you may also want to consider upgrading your software stack at
your distributor (OS + SQL Server) to 64bit as it is quite possible that you
are running out of address space range. Most dual-core processors should
already be capable of running in 64bit mode.

Can't start ReportServer service

Hello

I having problem to start ReportServer service after our Network administrator reboot the reporting server. Getting an error: "Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

This is an error message from Event Viewer: "The ReportServer service depends on the following nonexistent service: mssqlserver"

First there are no explicit dependencies, second we have sql server installed on different machine. Any ideas how to fix it? Would appriciate any help.

Is this RS 2005? Early versions of RS2000 had a dependency on SQL Server, but this has not been the case for sometime and never in a released version. Is it possible this was an upgrade from an early 2000 beta?

The best option might be to uninstall RS then reinstall, hooking up to the old DB. Make sure you back up your symmetric key first or you will have to reenter all credentials.

Cant start report server

Hey all. I'm using SQL server Express and I've installed the Report service. When I go into the reporting services configuration manager and I want to start the service, the system won't let me. Here is the error

System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)

I just can't seem to be able to start the service.

Can you plz help?

Thanks

Hi,

Based on my understanding, this error message is caused by the permission issue. You should take a look at the Report Server logs, and make sure you are configuring locally and you are administrator on the machine. And re-modify your reporting service configuration in the following way:

1. Created ReportService database using Report Service Configuration
2. Edited your personal account to Web Service Account in rsreportserver.config
3. Used rsconfig utility to encrypt the connection and account information
4. Edited your personal account to <processModel userName=" " >

If the problem still exists, you should try the following methods.

Set the Report Server Web service and Report Manager to use the same application pool.

|||

Thank you for your answer. But how can I create a reportservice database if I can't connect to the service?

++ Where do I go to

Set the Report Server Web service and Report Manager to use the same application pool.

Add the security account to the SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$InstanceName group that you use for the application pool identity.

Hi,

Set the Report Server Web service and Report Manager to use the same application pool.

Can't start 2005 Report Services on XP SP2

Hej,
I am attempting to get a test environment up and running on my XP SP2
machine but I can't start reporting services. I found the following log in
the Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\LogFiles directory:
ReportingServicesService!servicecontroller!4!28-03-2006-09:27:22:: e ERROR:
Exception caught starting RPC server:
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.UnknownUserNameException:

at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.Native.NameToSid(String name)
at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ServiceAppDomainController.StartRPCServer(Boolean

Anybody have any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Antony C. Roberts.In desperation, I created an ASPNET user and gave it all possible roles.
That solved the problem... What is the CORRECT solution to this problem?
Thanks!

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.

Can't see reportserver and reports applications

I'm trying to use Reporting Services 2005. The service is running, but if I
type http://192.168.1.49:8888/reportserver I see the directory list.
With http://192.1681.49:8888/reports, I see an error: The request failed
with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.The error is in URL.
http://192.168.1.49:8888/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx, so at least I know is
inside the application.
I'm completely stuck. What can I do or where can I search?
--
Regards,
Diego F.Google is your friend. Type in "reporting services" 503 "service
unavailable" and you'll get quite a lot of info. Not all of it is directly
connected to Reporting Services, but you should be able to pick up some info
on the 503 problem in general. It seems that there's a problem with the
Reporting Services web service.
Are you allowed to log on to the actual server and try running Report
Manager from that box?
What sort of authentication is set?
Try adding the report server site to your Trusted sites in IE, and then
change the Security Settings for Trusted Sites to "Prompt for user name and
password" in User Authentication - Logon. Type in your username and
password. If it fails, that might be what causes the problem. In that case,
you need to figure out what rights are needed for you to access the reports.

Open your Reports site, is probably under Web SItes - Default Web Site.
RIght click and choose Browse. Does it open correctly?
If it does, what is the URL? I did a test install of the 2005 edition, and I
think you might get some extra "name" or something, like
http://localhost/reports$instancename
Which means that the reports are still there, but the URL might have
changed. Or something.
Also, with Sql Server 2005 there's an nice Reporting Services configuration

Then, as I asked you before, is the idea to create all the reports I need
and upload to the server?
My idea is to intergate that in a web application, so I expected to show
just the report by clicking a button. Is that possible?
And last but not least ;-), is it possible to dinamically -by code- generate
the reports temporally? I have all my queries as stored procedures.
Thanks a lot!

1. URL Integration
2. Web Services
3. Visual Studio 2005 Reporting Control
The reporting control has a local mode, you get it a datatable and a report.
I suggest you back up and learn how to create reports before you deal with
integration. There is a lot more that you have to do in local mode.
Normal function is to create a report and deploy it. Make sure it works from
the shipping portal (Report Manager web site).
Have your queries as stored procedures is great. No reason to create the RDL
on the fly. Just pass parameters to the report and use your stored
procedure.

>|||Bruce already answered some of your questions, I'll just add something.
- Create your reports locally, deploy to the server.
- When it comes to webapplications, you can either link directly to each
report, with parameters and everything else, or you can create an iFrame and
make the Report Manager show up inside. (Look for tips on integrating with
SharePoint, even if you're not using SharePoint, as you can use some of the
info in your web app.)
http://blogs.spipp.net/kaisa/archive/2005/09/27/1185.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/webrssp2.mspx
The beauty of using an iFrame against Report Manager, is that Report Manager
will still deal with authentication for the different reports.
- Make sure to test your reports with user accounts with less priveleges
than yourself, before allowing your users to try them out. SOmetimes setting
the rights values in the datasource can be a bit tricky.

integrates easily with my application.
I tried with a test server I installed just to make tests with that. The
only problem I met is that I have to put user and password, but I hope that
doing from the same domain avoids that.
Anyway, it's a lot of work to manually create each report from a whole
application.

Can't see print button

Hi. I'm starting with Reporting Services 2005 and I need to use it in a web
application.
I followed the steps I found in the MSDN. I create a datasource, create the
report and then I use it in a report viewer control.
I found some problems:
1) I see no print button, and it's set to true in the viewer
2) I only can export to Excel. No other alternatives are possible.
3) I have compilation errors adding some columns from the dataset.
Can you help me to solve some of these problems?
Thank you in advance.
--
Regards,
Diego F.For #1, print is not supported in local mode processing, that is why there
is no button.

Can't see content tab or properties tab.

An administrator installed reporting services. I went to the url to the
report manager, I cannot see anything on the home page, no tabs at all. How
do I set it up to show me these tabs?
Thanks,

Can't run under the Eval version of Sql2000

When I install the evaluation version of Reporting Service, the Installer

Can't run SSRS Projects SSBIDS

I'm trying to open an Reporting Services project in Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (which looks a lot like Visual Studio 2005). This project was copied from another computer where it runs normally. I get the following error when trying to open it...

Package Load Failure

Package 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' has failed t load peoperly (guid = etc..). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible enfvironment corruption. Would you like to disable loadinug for this package in the future? you may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

I also tried to create a new Reporting services project and I got the following error....

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0...blah blah.

Some of my research so far says the first message could be related to having ran a beta version of vs2005 on this system which I did. However the ordinary vs2005 asp.net project appear to run normally.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks,

Gary

First thing would be for me trying to reinstall the Reporting Services package. If that doen not help, reinstall VS and the reporting package with prior removing all related stuff from the server. if you had beta products from VS / SQL Server installed use the cleanup utility from Microsoft. That often helps more than getting the old installation to work properly.

"cleanup utility from Microsoft" ? What is that? How would I get it?

Thanks,

Found it. Ran it. found install of beta vs2005 version and ran it on that. Didn't make any difference. Still have same error.

|||

I had the same error messages (wouldn't let me open an existing BI project or create a new one). I spent at least 4 hours struggling with this and various other posts on this issue. I found it strange that microsoft's forums are full will this question but there is no official solution from them on this issue. I wish they published a knowledgebase article on this that took care of the issue for once and for all.

Anyway! What worked for me is that I installed Microsoft SqlServer Express client tools. I already had SqlServer 2005 (client tools) , Sqlserver 2005 express (database only), and Visual Studio 2005 professional installed. The order I had initially installed was that I had first installed VS.Net 2003, then installed SqlServer 2005 (client tools), then Visual Studio 2005, and inally SqlServer 2005 Express (database only). Somewhere in between I had installed the reporting services, however I don't remember exactly the sequence for this. To make the matter wors, I had installed some of these on D drive (to save on C space), as many of the posters have reported that this can also cause the issue.

Its unlikely that you may have the same problem as I, but just in case!

can't open Report Manager

Greetings,
I can't open Report Manager (sql Server 2000, win 2003 server). I log into
our server as SA where Reporting Services is/was installed (I did not perform
the install). I go to start/Programs/Microsoft Sql Server/Reporting
Services/Report Manager. This brings up a page that has an http error of
403. It says that IE can connect to the website but that IE doesn't have the
permission to access the webpage (http://myserver/Reports).
I looked at IIS and see the Reports virtual directory under Default
Websites (and the pages virtual dir, Folder.aspx...). The directory security
is set for Integrated Windows Security.
What can I do or what do I need to do so that I can access the Report
Manager webpage? Do I need to configure something in IE or IIS? Or is it
possible that the page isn't really there (bad install)?
Thanks
RichFirst off. Win 2003 server has extra security as far as IE is concerned.
This can make it problematic to connect via IE to the report server when you
are physically on the server. You are better off to do the following.
1. Add your account to the local administrator group
2. From your computer use http://yourserver.blah.com/reports and see what
comes up.
RS is an asp.net application. That is what you are logging into, NOT SQL
Server. So logging in with SA only works if the local administrator group on
the server has a user called SA. Otherwise, it knows nothing about SA. If
your local group has that in it then the issue is the added IE security. You
need to add the computer to the list of safe groups (I haven't done this for
awhile). You really are better off to not do this from the server. It is
better and easier to do it from your own PC.
RS uses Role based security. Initially you have a single role of which the
local administrator group is in it (the administrator group).

> Rich|||Thank you very much for getting back to me on this. I am just a little
confused though. Last week, I posted a question about caching and execution,
and I was directed to the Report Manager (which - up to that time I knew
nothing about). The instructions were
http://myserver/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Now, you are suggesting that I add my account to the local administrator
group. By my account do you mean my login account that I log into my
workstation or server with - my network account? My account for loging into
the workstation is in the administrator group on the server. Say my network
login is joe123. May I request if you could specify what I have to do to
joe123 so that I can use him as you suggest?
http://joe123.../reports
I appologize in advance for my lack of intuition on this and am very
thankful for your reply and suggestions.
Thanks,
Rich

application that is available from any PC. You do not need to be on the
server itself.
I do mean your login account that you use to log into your server. If your
account is already in the adminstrator group then you are good to go. From
your PC just put this into the URL
http://myserver/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Note, depending on your network you might need to fully qualify the server
as myserver.whatever.com, you can also put the IP address directly like this
http://IPAddress/Pages/Folder.aspx
I very seldom login to my server directly. Either I am deploying reports
from my PC to the server or I am using Report Manager from my PC.
If you login to your server using your network login you can use IE there to
get to report manager but the enhanced security with 2003 server could cause
issues and you need to add the server (yes it is itself but the added
security doesn't know this) to approved security list. That is why I suggest
just doing this from your PC, not from the server.

http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx and got the http 401 error -
unauthorized
I also tried the qualified server name
http://myqualifiedserver.net/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
and
http://myqualifiedserver.net/Pages/Folder.aspx
with the same 401 error code
If people are able to get into Report Manager, then I should be able to get
in also. But what is the trick for me? Well, I thank you again for getting
back to me and with your suggestions. Just What is the trick?

not been give administrative rights on the server. Login to that server as
you, check out the local administrators group. If it doesn't let you in to
view it or add to it then you do not have rights on that server. Get someone
who does to either add your specific domain\username to the local
administrator group or add the network administrator group to the local
administrator group.
I bet you don't have the rights to the server that you think you do. By
default, anyone in the local administrators group is in the RS administrator
role.

manager from his workstation using his logon and not SA.

for one interesting error message - the message said something about looking
for .Net Framework 1.1.
We used to be on 1.1 but upgraded to .Net Framework 2.0 so we could use
Visual Studio 2005. Would this be an issue for Report Manager for RS2003?
We are still using Sql Server 2000.

RS 2000 is a 1.1 framework app. RS 2005 is a 2.0 framework app. It is fine
that you upgraded to 2.0 BUT you have to have Reports and ReportServer webs
be at 1.1 (IIS will support both but you have to configure the sites to be
1.1).
Not sure if this is all the reason but it is definitely a problem. Get the
owner to work first and then get back to your problem. You might have more
than one problem going on.

situation. Hopefully, he can figure out how to configure the sites for .net
framework 1.1.
Note: I can deploy reports with my current setup and things work OK except
for the caching thing - which is why I need to get into Report Manager in the
first place.
