embedding html

Just curious if anyone has any hints to embed HTML directly into a report. I
am doing reports that will be exported to excel when run as a subscription
and using an index (which jump to bookmarks) and page breaks to get each
report onto new tabs.
My current report, done with a different tool, has 2 "Help" tabs that are
formatted text that describe how to interpret the report. I need to
replicate this in reporting services. One problem is that textbox in RS is
way too limited in its functionality.
I could probably link out to an HTML page, but I want the new help tabs to
export to excel along with the report.
Any ideas?I can't think of a way until HTML is supported in text boxes.

Embedded PDF and Excel Files

I want to upload PDF and Excel files to the Report Server database. I
would like to display them in a custom web application. When working
with the ReportViewer control, I can easily show reports. I can't
figure out the process on how to show a PDF to a user. In particular,
if the user selects a PDF ( I can check the MIMETYPE), then, how do I
get the file from Report Server so I can stream it to the user?On Oct 10, 3:21 pm, "goo...@.landy.net" <goo...@.landy.net> wrote:

If you create a report that has the same format and output as the PDF
and Excel files, you could call the report and automatically render it
to PDF or Excel with a download prompt via URL. Here are a couple
examples.
http://ServerX/reportserver?/SomeDirectory/ReportName&rs:Command=Render&Param1=SomeValue&rs:Format=PDF
-or-
http://ServerX/reportserver?/SomeDirectory/ReportName&rs:Command=Render&Param1=SomeValue&rs:Format=Excel
Here's the URL format:
http://<ServerName>/reportserver?/<Directory>/<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render&<ParameterName>=<ParameterValue>&rs:Format=<PDF/CSV/XML/Excel/MHTML>
Hope this helps.

These are generic PDF files, not based on a report so they cannot be
rendered. We are using Reporting Services to provide security not
only to reports, but also some ancillary PDF and Excel files.|||Where does an uploaded pdf get stored'
Our uploaded pdf changes every week and rather than reupload everytime I was
hoping we could just save changes to the location it was uploaded to.
Many Thanks

Embed excel object in report

Is it possible to embed an excel worksheet in a report? I have a workbook which contains some data and this data needs to be part of the report. What are my options and can this be done by creating a custom report item.

Thanks for your advice.

dipi

You cannot directly embed an excel object into a report. You can however use ODBC to retrieve the data from the workbook as an RS dataset and then create a table from the data.

Emailing Report

I need to export a view into excel and mail to my manager daily morning. Is there a way i can automate this process. I know how to convert view to excel but i need a better solution to automate this process with emailing to my mgr. Please suggest a better approach of doing this.

Thanks,

The send mail task accepts the use of file attachments.

You are using SSIS, right?|||Or you might want to consider Reporting Services for this.|||

Thats true but how; Firstly i need to convert view to excel and then send excel sheet as attachment in email. Could you pls. explain how i could do this. I am a newbie.

Thanks

|||

If you are going to use SSIS, create a new package, add a data flow task with an OLEDB source that retrieves the view. Add an Excel destination to the data flow to capture the results. Back in the control flow, add a Send Mail task to send the email.

If you want to do it in Reporting Services, post your question in the RS forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=82&SiteID=1) and I'll answer it there.

Emailing an Excel file

Hi ,

Is it possible for us to send an excel file generated in the package to the users using Sendmail task or anyother task using SSIS?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SVGP.

Yes. You will need to set the Attachment property for the task. Now, I am not sure if you are creating a new instance of the Excel file for each package run; if you are then you will need to create a variable or two to provide the full path of the file and then set the Attachment Property using an expression that references the variable.

For instance, I use a Flat File destination and open it getting created by the package I use a File System Task to copy the file to another location, renaming with an extension of the current date. For each run therefore the file name is going to be different and so I created a variable that dynamically captures the new file name each day. The Send Mail task then attaches the correct file each day.

Hope this helps!

Hi swan_sgp,

Yes. This is Possible.

1) Use a global variable (gvExcelFile) to fetch your so created fully qualified excel file path with extension name.

2) You must manually configure an attachment (creates a new connection manager), as Desibull already informed.

3) Assign gvExcelFile to Connection String property in expression builder for the connection manager meant for attachment.

4) Set the DelayValidation Property of the Send Mail to True.

Thanks

emailing an attachment from DTS

I have a DTS package that runs 4x a day and generates an excel spreadsheet, renames that spreadsheet with a datetime stamp and then places it into a folder on our network. I have been asked to email that spreadsheet to someone everytime the package runs.

My question is what would be the best way to handle this and how do I ensure that whatever process I define grabs the correct file? The folder that the Excel file is being placed into has multiple files in it. Is there a way to tell SQL Server which file to grab and email?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Email with attachments.

I have just setup a new Reporting Service Server. I loaded a page then I created a subscription which will email and excel document of the report out.

Each time the subscription runs I am getting this error below:

Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.Failure sending mail: The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.

When I take out the attachment on the email and just have it send the link the email runs fine with no errors. Is there some type of setup that needs to be done with the server side to have it send attachments?

Please let me know. Thanks

Yes. The 'Log On' account that your SQL Server Reporting Services service runs under must have permissions to send email via your smtp server.

1. Open Admin Tools > Services on your report server and find the SQL Server Reporting Services service.

2. Double click the service and go to the Log On properties tab to determine the service account.

Email the results of the query

Hello,

I want to email the results of the query. The query output can be email either as the HTML body of the email to be sent or as a excel attachement.

I am wondering as to what would be the best way to achive this.

a) I could have a email client module in C# or VB.NET 2.0, which would fetch the query resultset and store it in a dataset. I format it as HTML body and send the email using System.NET. For excel, can use XSLT

Please suggest if there is any other approach that would be more suitable.

Thanks.

Found what I was looking for. So here goes

Solution was Configure Database Mail and then use the msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail stored procedure. For your reference http://builder.com.com/5100-6388-6164310.html

Email Subscription into Excel

file contains a document map. How can I disable the document map from being

You have to disable the documentmap in the report itself. To my knowledge
you can not disbable this only when exporting (if you know how, let me know

this needs to be automated. It is going to send out an email notifiying a user of a new entry in the database. the new data will be included in the email.

Use DTS to export to the excel file, and then have it email the user with the excel file attached, or put the excel doc in a shared location, make it a linked server, and update it with a sql statement.|||I suggest you can create an instance of MS EXCEL in a stored procedure using sp_OACreate.

Then transfer the data from the table to the excel object (Within the stored procedure itself)

Then inside the stored proc use xp_sendmail to send the excel file. But unfortunately xp_sendmail uses MAPI provider through either MS Exchange or MS Outlook.

Alternatively you can again use sp_OACreate to instantiate a third-party COM component (for example RKMAIL or JMAIL) and use the same for sending the excel file as an attachment to the mail.

Email format for Reporting Services

Hi, this question is related to Reporting Services on SQL Server 2000. When creating a report and setting it to send via email as an attached excel spreadsheet, the email is in the format HTML. Does anyone know if it possible to default this format to something else like Rich Text. I have a feeling that this might involve a change to the RSEmailDPConfiguration within the RSReportServer.config file but am not sure which tag needs changing or adding.

Any help/suggestions greatfully received.According to documentation:

rsreportserver.config

EmbeddedRenderFormats

Specifies the rendering format used to encapsulate a report within the body

of an e-mail message. Images within the report are subsequently embedded within

the report. Valid values are MHTML and HTML4.0.

Does not look like you'll get Rich Text in an email without some custom code.

cheers,
Andrew|||

RTF is not supported by out-of-the-box RS. Theoretically you can write your own renderer but it's a difficult task, plus then you'll need to write custom delivery provider to support it as well. Support for RTF is in the wish list for the next RS version.

|||Thanks for both of your comments. I had a feelling it might be a custom option.

Email Attachment Corruption

I have a subscription to a report that delivers an Excel attachment. When delivered to my outlook mailbox, no problems. Same report attachment delivered to my hotmail account is corrupted. Results are the same with the CSV option.
Is this related to the problem with lotus mail servers?What is the corruption? The lotus issue is that the emails have a 0 byte

Email Attachements

Whenever I try to create an attachment with email, the attachment is created
but it is empyu in the case of Excel or I get an open error when creating a
PDF file attachment. If insted of using email, I create a file on a server
share it works fine and I see the report. Also if I include a link on the
email that works fine also and I see the report. It's only the attachments
that aren't working. We are using Lotus Notes for our email system.It's a known bug. Apply the hotfix described in M$ KB # 872774
