I have a SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with SSRS configured. I have custom reports built via Report Builder and subscriptions via SSRS. I am currently emailing MHTML via the subscriptions, but this doesn't allow you to expand the rows in the tables.
As above, that row, when you browse to SSRS via web browser, can be expanded to see it's child items. Is there anyway you can get this to come expanded in the MHTML report sent via the sub?
Unfortunately drill down only works in Report Manager or the Excel rendering extension. The HTML generated excludes the hidden items. Mentioned in last section of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207042.aspx
Because of this I send Excel reports in my subscriptions.
The solution would be to get the report to always show the expanded rows when exported to MHTML. http://blog.hoegaerden.be/2011/01/18/ssrs-hideshow-items-dependant-on-export-format/

I have two different project First is Windows Application and second is Report Project
So How can I view report in my First Project
Here's attached screenshot of Both Projects
RDL reports get installed in an instance of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) you then load the report into a ReportViewer control from that server. That's a subject too big to include in a single answer here and you should research it independently and then ask specific questions later if you have them.
If you want the reports to be part of your application itself then you need to create client reports - RDLC files - rather than server reports. There is a VS extension you can install for creating client reports, if that's what you want.
I have an ASP.NET/C# web app in which the user needs to run reports with various criteria that will ALWAYS yield simple, 2-dimensional, tabular data. I'm tempted to use a sophisticated reporting engine like SSRS or Crystal Reports, but these seem like overkill, since there's really nothing to design (all outputs will be to CSV, or JSON for the browser to render in an HTML table).
In this scenario, am I eating too much complexity by trying to use SSRS or Crystal Reports? Should I instead just write custom classes to dynamically assemble SQL statements (based on user selections) that will be fired against the database?
Does SSRS or CR add anything that is of value (within the requirements constraints I've already described)...?
Its depend on your requirement if you want to minimal overhead on your web app then please go ahead and use your custom codes since you are not required any styling or extra functions.
Just get JSON objects and fill in HTML and go Head !!
I am working with ssrs So i will talk just about it:
ssrs is a very useful tool for building a Reports
all You need is sql server Stored Procedure to build your report
then deploy it to report server and use this report from your app
-now all you need in your app just one page for all reports and you path the URL
dynamically with report name
You need to know this :
-ssrs did not work correctly with all browser
for Exp :
-Print Btn just work with IE
so Mozila and Google you need to use java script to print Report
-some issue with criteria section :
there is no way to rename the 'select value' with drop down
so you need to use java scrip to handle it
also you find ( Null and chick box ) any customer did not know what null mean so
you need first to remove null keyword or to rename it to anther Keyword
also you need java script to do this
the most problem i have :
all reports in reports server so
when i go to a new client what i need
just Sql server no need to setup visual studio and ssrs tool
just to deploy all reports on client report server
its very bad ..
i solved this issue with tool i had make to deploy the all the report
and no need to setup VS just to deploy the report
i think that the most important problem i have
and all of it i found a work around to solve .. and it takes more time
finally :
use ssrs or CR its very easy to use and make report very fast no need to create a custom page for report and develop all its control just like print and export
report to PDF,excel or any type
but if you have a few report i think no need to use any reports tool
I need to create a dashboard using my webi report. Can this be achievable? If so, how?
Thanks in Advance
Niki
I tried this a few months back, while we primarily create Desktop Intelligence reports we have started to create WebI reports with the aim of creating dashboards with some of them.
We are running BOE XI3.1.
Here is a link to a blog which is one of the couple of blogs that I read when doing it.
Basically, you would right-click on the table in WebI and select publish block, you then follow the publish content prompts and when completed in the Web Services pane (if not visible, there is a Web Services checkbox in the top-right of the window) where you can get the Web Service URL that you can then use as a datasource within Xcelsius.
The WebI report I was playing with worked and I was able to get the data in Xcelsius.
OK this is my question(s) and its SSRS 2005 and SQL Server 2005/2008
I had been tasked with rebuilding a dozen or so reports that our users use on their data systems. We just build them and since every DB instance is schematically the same for all our clients, we push the reports out to their report servers for use.
So modified a great many reports, but the reports have blown away the clients subscriptions. So every user that uses these reports, that can be a great many seeing as how everyone can have their own set of parameters, has to run the reports manually or redo their subscriptions.
My company would very much like to avoid that, but I can not figure out how to change a report, and even with the same parameter set going in as the last report, keep the subscription there.
Even when I copy the report down to their report server and replace the old with the new using same name. The subscription is still there, but it gets modified.
I am looking either for a way to push down a subscription as part of the report, so that they will have minimal input to their subscriptions in order to tailor it to their needs
--OR ideally--
Upload a new version of the report to their report server and just have the subscription apply to the newest report that I have put on their server
It doesn't really matter which one but the second is best seeing as how individual users use the reports with individual names as a parameter
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can point me to the way to manage out subscriptions on my side, or enable my reports to assume the subscriptions of same named reports on their server.
--edit--
Want to put a clearer picture out there
I have a master copy of a report. The users use the report on their own systems.
I do some heavy modifications to the master copy of the report, and upload it to their systems. using the same name and same parameter set as the original report.
I want the subscriptions on their report server to find this report using the same name.
so XXX.report has a subscription. I change it to XXX.report locally, and upload to their servers. The subscriptions are not synching though.
Thanks
I'm not sure how you're accessing SSRS but you can use the following webservice methods to download and upload report subscriptions
ListSubscriptions
GetSubscriptionProperties
GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties
DeleteSubscription
CreateDataDrivenSubscription
CreateSubscription
Using those methods, you use ListSubscriptions to get a report's subcriptions. The Subscription.IsDataDriven property will tell you if it's data driven or not. For data driven subscriptions, use GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperites to get the subscription properties, otherwise use GetSubscriptionProperties. All of those classes are XML serializable so you can save them to disk out of the box using the XmlSerializer.
To readd the subscriptions, use DeleteSubscription to delete the subcriptions one by one and then CreateSubscription or CreateDataDrivenSubscription to readd the subscriptions.
This is a hack though, because you should be able to modify reports without breaking the subscriptions. You should to the following to help diagnose the issue
Set SSRS logging to verbose for all components
Use the click once report builder to change the title of a report and see if the subscriptions break when you click save
Have the SQL profiler running on the ReportServer database to see what SQL is being generated when the subscriptions break
there's a tool called Reporting Services Scripter from Jasper Smith. I think it should work for you.
What I had to wind up doing was going back and change all the input parameters, including the sql content for the drop downs, back to what they originally were. Then playing with the SQL for the report to accept the new(old) parameters.
Thanks for your input. I accepted the web services answer as that is a path I will have to explore for our next update.
I am developing a reporting application where a user can select(and order) reports from a list of 100 reports and ask for a master report. This master report will contain all the selected reports in the exact order and with a table of contents listing the reports included in the master report. The reports available for the user to select (which could be 100s) are stored in the database.
My questions are :-
To generate the master report with the user selected reports, the only solution I can see is using the Reporting Engine API to generate a dynamic report into which I have to add the user selected reports as subreports. Is this the right and easiest way to approach this problem? Does anyone have samples of the Reporting Engine API usage especially to inject subreports in a Master report?
Since I am storing the reports in the db(blobs), I am trying to find a way to generate my sub reports with an inputstream rather than a URL as specified in ResourceManager.createDirectly(url, MasterReport.class), but haven't been successful till now. How can I generate reports from definitions stored in the database? There should be some resource abstraction.
Read your reports into a byte-array and then use the ResourceManager.createDirectly method as usual. That will solve your problem of parsing the reports.
You can parse them directly into SubReports by using
ResourceManager.createDirectly(bytes, SubReport.class)
These subreports can then be added to your master report as banded subreports. if you want your selected reports to start on a new page, make sure you set the "pagebreak-before" style on your subreport's report-header.
There is a resource abstraction: It is called "LibLoader" and you can create your own ResourceLoaders that deal with the problem of getting your data out of your database as raw-streams so that the ResourceFactory implementations can interpret/parse the raw-data.
But every database is designed differently and thus you as the system integrator have to write the glue code for it. We only can offer the interfaces.
