View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET application running on IIS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I also have a SQL2008 R2 with Reporting Service.
My site is purely internal, so to make the life of the users easier I discarded a logon page by using Windows Authentication in IIS and validating the username on my default page.
I configured the Reporting Services using the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, using Network Services, and I can follow both the Web Service URL as well as the Report Manager URL just fine, all is happy. Untill... I try to load a report.
I have an aspx page with a Reportviewer control that just blatantly refuses to display the report. I know I have the report server and report path correct because I am able to manipulate and set report parameters dynamically. However, instead of the report displaying, I get a lovely message "A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accesible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error 25 - Connection String is not valid) Now, I looked up the error and everything is set up as it should be. My NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICES users has all the privileges it needs, my server allows remote connections, TCP and named pipes are enabled...

I have a report (Reporting Services) integrated into an ASP.NET that shows dropdownlists to select report parameter values. The dropdownlists are populated using direct database selects, though I see the report RDL files do contain the paramter values and datasets as defined in the report designer.Is it possible to obtain the report parameters "available values" in ASP.NET to populate the dropdownlists? This would avoid some code duplication.
Update.If the parameter doesn't use a query for available values, the following works:
foreach (ValidValue value in this.ReportViewerControl.ServerReport.GetParameters()["myParameter"].ValidValues) {
this.DropDownListControl.Items.Add(new ListItem(value.Label, value.Value));
}
Question on installing SQL Server 2008 reporting services.
I have Visual Studio 2008 express edition installed, with the corresponding SQL Server 2008 express edition installed. Is it practical to use SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services with the express edition, or is it just to restrictive with the express edition to be practical? Keep in mind I just need to use it with my local database connection. What type of restrictions will there be, i.e. what can I and what can't I do with express edition? What would be the more ideal setup and what would the costs generally look like?
I am having some trouble upgrading an existing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services installation from an old server to a new one commissioned for this purpose, which is running SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. I have been following the instructions here: [URL] but after trying to connect with reporting services 2008, i get this error: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.6.54'. The expected version is '147'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) before starting the process, I ran upgrade advisor and got back the following results:
Description Setup can upgrade a SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services instance that uses a SQL Server 2000 Database Engine in the same instance. However, upgrade is blocked if the report server database is in a different instance, on a remote instance, or runs on a remote SQL Server 2005 instance in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode.
*****
*note, our reporting services IS in the same instance as the SQL Server 2000 database engine. However, upgrade advisor still reported that this instance can not be automatically upgraded.
*****
Corrective Action Choose either approach to continue with the upgrade: Upgrade the Database Engine instance on the remote computer before upgrading Reporting Services. The server cannot be in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode after upgrade. Move the reportserver and reportservertempdb to a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 Database Engine instance, and then use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to connect the report server to the database.
so, I went with option 2, move the database then connect. I have: -backed up the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases from the old server, transferred them to the new and restored them to the 2008 Server as ReportServerOld. -I then renamed the old database to ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB, as this is required to use the database as a source apparently. I had to of course change the existing database names to ReportServerNew to perform the rename. I backed up the symetric key for this installation using the rskeymgmt utility...............
I am trying to install just Reporting Services one a different server than the one that hosts the SQL Server 2005 database. Can someone point me to any type of documentation or a step by step instruction that can help. One more thing, none of the two machines is part of a domain.
View 2 RepliesRecently I had a weird problem while trying to install SQL Server Reporting Service in my local PC. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and I wanted to configure SSRS in my PC. During the installation, the setup wizard listed all the services that we want to install and I found that only Reporting Server checkbox option was disabled and I wondered why??? I thought it may be becuase of some installation problem and tried again and its useless... I googled lot of sites for 3 days and finally found that due to some IIS issues, it is not possible to install Reporting Server in Vista Home Premium version. Reporting Server needs some specific IIS features to be installed in the machine.
But unfortunately those features are not available for Home Premium users which in term restricts users not to install reporting server in our PCs... Also, Microsoft has accepted it as an issue and its not possible to get it install in Home Premium...just wanted to share and might be useful for someone like me.

It seems the Print Icon in Reporting Services is now throwing up a Windows Authentication box. Even when entering my domainusername and password, nothing happens. It just keeps popping up?
Our reporting service URL is a http://IP Address/........
Not sure if that has anything to do with it. We did add the I.P. in the Local Intranet Zones but still nothing works.
We are running sql server 2000 with reporting services version 8.00.743.00. Yes, I know it's old, but it works. Anyway it worked up until a week ago. Now when you try to render a report on IE 7 or 8 or Firefox, the windows authentication appears multiple times. The report continues to render fine in IE 6.
