I am using Sharepoint 2010 configured in Integrated mode with SSRS (2012 RC0). Now I am trying to create a Data Alert in my Report. But my Data Alert is always disabled.
I created a Report using Report Builder 3.0 and saved it to a Document Library (using Save As in Report Builder). I am using shared Data Source from the Sharepoint Server.
I am not sure what I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any pointers to some existing tutorial to create a Data Alert (and pre-requisites to do so) in Sharepoint 2010 Integrated mode would also be helpful.
Thanks.
I figured out the answer. The data source should be created with either "Stored Credentials" or "No Credentials". This is a quote from MSDN:
If the New Data Alert option is grayed, the report data source is
configured to use integrated security credentials or prompt for
credentials. To make the New Data Alert option available, you must
update the data source to use stored credentials or no credentials.

We're developing an ASP MVC web application for a company to monitor and correct incoming data from third parties, then preview a report output before being distributed to their own clients. We've made a prototype with the reports being generated as Crystal Reports through the application itself using CR for Visual Studio.
The client already has a Crystal Server for some internal reporting, we're wondering if we can hook into that so that all Crystal Reports are stored in the same place and save on duplication. We would need to expose a preview of the report in our application and then export the reports from the Crystal Server in PDF and Excel formats ready to be distributed.
Is that possible? I've found very little on the subject.
In case anybody comes back for the answer... We've managed to get this working by using the 'opendocument' url path feature and embedding it into the site using an iframe. Documentation is here.
We are planning on creating reports to be run on the same computer that the database application is running on.
Can you tell me which of these is the best approach? (SQL Server Reporting Services or creating a rdlc ReportViewer report)
Also I tried to locate detailed rdlc ReportViewer report tutorials both in books and online and found none. It's probably because I'm looking in the wrong places.
We are also using VB.Net as the language.
All help will be appreciated.
In a nutshell, .rdlc is the client version. You cannot host these on the report server. These reports do not know how to fetch the data, you MUST get the data yourself and pass it to the report. For this reason, you cannot even preview the report while designing. ReportViewer.ProccessingMode = Local
The .rdl or server reports know how to fetch the data. You configure the datasource and upload them to the report server. Because of this, you can preview the reports while designing them. You can use the web/desktop ReportViewer control to run the reports from inside your app...like a proxy between your application and the report server.ReportViewer.ProccessingMode = Remote
I prefer rdl for any sql datasource, but rdlc is also good for cases where your datasource is very complex or can only be built through the application code. I think there might be ways to configure an object datasource for rdl but I haven't looked into that yet.
I'm taking my first crack at creating an External list in Sharepoint 2010. I've taken 3 training classes in Sharepoint 2010, and am now trying to transfer my knowledge to my own development environment. I've followed the steps for creating my External Content type in Micorosoft sharepoint designer. I am connecting the External Content Type to a table in an external SQL Server Database. I've created a list specifying this External Content type. I've also given all authenticated users permission. I've verified that BCS is running, and all looks good. I've also checked and double checked the steps I used in creating the external content type and list, by referring to the lab manual from my Sharepoint class.
When I try to navigate to display the list, I get this very informative error message:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Correlation ID:b7c91266-bbbc-4703-8704-beccbbd92de0
I've tried opening this page in Sharepoint Designer but this doesn't seem to help me. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any gotcha's that I should be looking for.
Whenever you see a correlation ID, then you should be able to get more information on the failure in the ULS output. Search for that Correlation ID in the logs and you should get plenty of additional information.
If you don't find much in the ULS logs, then change the settings to log additional information.
you need to check selection of primary key of sql tables while retrieving data to list.
To capture the error being thrown, use the SharePoint LogViewer app from CodePlex: http://sharepointlogviewer.codeplex.com/
You need to run it on your server and hit the Play Button at the
top. This starts the Live Monitoring.
Refresh your page that will give you the error with the Correlation ID.
Stop The LogViewer and filter the results by the Correlation Field.
Copy and paste the ID from your browser into the filter field.
You will now see a list of what errors are being thrown in relation to the Correlation ID.
I hope this helps out!
We have one report that when run throws an error stating "Database login failed". I have 20+ reports configured the same way that execute without any problems. In the Crystal Reports Designer, I verified the database and everything is good. The sql queries used to generate the report look good.
The reports are run from an ASP.NET application. We're not using a report server. We're using the 13.x runtime on the server. Reports are defined in CR Designer and passed parameters from the ASP.NET application.
Can Crystal store a username and password in the report file? How do I clear any saved values? Any other ideas? I'm a bit lost here since everything else is working just fine.
Yes. Crystal can store authentication/connection info in the .rpt file. You can override this with your ReportSource definition by setting parameters.
It most definitely does NOT store account/password in the RPT file.
You will need to explicitly set the authentication credentials.
It does not store the password. It does store the ID most of the time. The reason some reports work sometimes has to do with if Windows authentication indicates you have access to the data.
The safest most consistent way to run reports is to use the ID/password evertime, although in some cases, if it's expecting Windows authentication only, putting the ID/password will cause it to fail.
Im looking to Extract a SharePoint List (WSS 2.0) to a SQL(2005) Table using SQL Server Integrated Services.
First off I am aware of the "adapter" that does this from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137.aspx however I'm just wondering for compatibility purposes if it can't just be done "out of the box".
There are only a limited number of "Data Flow Sources" to select as alternatives and I am unsure if any of these would be able to work in a similar way either directly to SharePoint or via SharePoints web services (e.g. http://server_name/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx) From the list of these sources it looks like the best option would be the OLE DB connector, but not sure how it would do this.
Any help you have would be great,
Mark
You can use Script Source task to talk to WSS Lists Data Retrieval Web Service. But I would strongly recommend using the custom Add-in.
