Embedding reporting services as a standalone product

Hi,
In the application that I am working on, we currently use Crystal Reports as
the embedded reporting engine. I am trying to evaluate if we should move
over to Microsoft Reporting Services. However, one thing confuses me. It
seems Microsoft Reporting Services will work only as a server under IIS.
This will not work for our customers. I am wondering if Reporting Services
has any embedded component much like Crystal Reports that we could use.
Thank you in advance for your help.
SunnyVersion 2 will have a web form and a winform that does not require the
server (works with the server if there but does not require it).

Embedding PDF Document

Does reporting services allow emdedding of PDF documents? I dont want to convert the document to JPEG as the size increases many times (for me the image size is around 1.6MB vs. 100KB for PDF) and i have several of these images. Would appreciate if anyone has done similar exercise to embed document within reports.
thanks !!Not sure what we would really embed it in? HTML isn't really a format that
supports embedding. You can embed docs in e-mail messages as well as link to
docs on a web page. I suppose we could have an MHTML format that embedded a
PDF file but this hasn't been high on the priority list.

page. Can you just link to the document on a web site from the report? You
could even store the PDF in the Report Server database and link to it.

Embedding HTML in a Report

Does anyone know of a time frame on when SQL 2005 Reporting Services
will be able to handle the embedding of HTML into a report? I saw on
an old post that it is was supposed to be released in a follow on SP.
Does anyone have suggestions in displaying HTML into a field in a
report beyond converting it to an image first?On Apr 18, 4:17 pm, cara...@.gmail.com wrote:

In terms of the time frame, I'm not sure; however, you could try a
workaround of using the Jump to URL property of a report control.
Sorry I could not be of greater assistance.

First you will want to deploy the HTML file to the webserver/IIS so
that a hyperlink can access it.
Then, depending on how you want to do it, add a report control (table/
image/textbox) to the report in Layout view, select the Properties
(via right-click), select the Navigation tab, and below 'Hyperlink
action:' select Jump to URL and enter in the URL of the newly deployed
HTML file (i.e., http://localhost/SomeVirtualDirectoryName/HTMLFileName.html).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Enrique Martinez
Sr. Software Consultant|||One other option is to have dotnet code (behind report or an assembly) that
strips the html control characters from the text.
I haven't done this but I know that people have done this.

then I just decided to scrap it. So I did that by adding this function:
This was taken from this guy and convert to VB:
http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2003/05/13/6963.aspx
To call the function in the Expression Editor of the textbox just use:
=Code.StripHTML(Fields!<whateverfieldyouwanttostriphtmlfrom>.Value)
I hope this helps someone just trying to strip the HTML out since MS hasn't
hacked out a friggin control to render it.

Yes, I do. But I'm going to start sounding like a broken record <g>.
You can do this by taking the XML output and applying an XSLT to it! It's
really up to you to decide how the HTML output looks, not what they decided
to provide as an HTML presentation.
The catch here would be how you wanted to display that report in other
formats, such as PDF. You can write XSLT to go to (say) rich text or post
script or use XSL:FO.
But you're still going to have to manage the impedance mismatch between the
HTML formatting you're trying to reproduce and these other formats. That's
why "converting to an image" makes sense to a lot of people -- it's not the
HTML display that's the problem, it's the multiple output targets that have
to render that HTML field.
HTML, almost by definition, mixes formatting and content. That's why it's a
PITA for any reporting engine with multiple output targets. You have to
separate the two and then translate the formatting so you can apply it to
the content as appropriate to the current target.

Embedding a reporting Services object

Hi,
Can I embedde a reporting services object in my web based application so the

Thanks in advance,
BenjaminYes, you can. Take a look at the ReportViewer sample that Microsoft

embedding a DTS package and logging/error reporting

Hi All,

When the embedded DTS package fails at runtime, and logging has been enabled for the package (and all log events selected for reporting on for the package and the task), the DTS error (i.e. any meaningful errors) are not thrown up to/caught by the SSIS/outer level. All you get is something like:

COMException - error returned from a call to a COM component.

Does anyone have any comments &/or know to get errors thrown from within an embedded DTS package, thrown up to the wrapping SSIS package?

Cheers,

Tamim.

Hi Tamim,

Try configuring your DTS package (using the old SQL 2000 designer) to log to an msdb database (it can be a SQL 2005 msdb). Then you will find the DTS messages logged to the tables eg sysdtspackagelog and sysdtssteplog.

Good luck.

Mike

Embedded Word Document in RDL

I have a word document that I would to migrate to reporting services
2005. Instead of recreating the word document in reporting services, I
would like to know if I can embed the word document in a report? If
not, what other options are there?
Thanks.If you would like the word document to be hosted by RS then in your project
add a new existing item and then select your Word file. Then you can deploy
it. Note that when you update it and want to redeploy I have found that I
have to delete it from the report server first prior to deployment.

I have tried that and that does work. But I was trying to find the
best way to migrate the word document into an RDL file. I want it to
be an RDL file because I have some other data that I want to
incorporate into the report from a database. I am not sure this can
be done, but I would like to avoid from having to recreate the word
document in an RDL file.|||There might be a third party tool that allows this but not straight out of
the box.

Embedded Images Not Displaying properly

Hi,

I have a question which i hope someone can help with. When using an embedded image stored on a server in my reporting services report i can see it when proeviewing the report but when it is deployed it no longer is shown on the report. If i try this with an image stored on my local drive it works fine in both preview and deployed mode.

I am wondering why this could be? My initial thoughts are that the security on the file stored on the server may not allow access when the report is run in a deployed state yet it is accessible to the report developper as they have access to the server directory. Does this sound feasible and if not can someone let me know as to why this may not work.

Many thanks,

Grant

Grant,

if you point to the picture just as an resource you should also publish the picture to the proper RS folder like the report.

Or use a web link which should be a "public" one and has to be accessible by every User using RS.

cheers,
Markus

Embedded HTML in RS 2005?

Reporting Services is a great product, especially considering that is a 1.x
release. Unfortunately, not being able to render embedded HTML (in report
data) is a serious limitation. This is a critical need for our business.
I would like to know from a MSFT source if this will be supported in SQL
Server 2005? What is the timeframe for this?
Thanks,
Jeremy Carter
ING Investment ManagementWe are aware that embedded rich text is very important for many of our
customers. However we didn't have time to add this in SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services. This will be added in a future version.

Embedded Fonts anytime soon?

Hi,
Does anyone know if Microsoft is planning to support embedded fonts in the
near future?
We have been using Crystal Reports for our reporting. We are trying out
Reporting Services for the new reports and we like what we see so far, but
there is one major issue: embedded fonts.
We have lots of customers lined up that require the use of OCRA and Barcode
fonts in their pdf documents. Installing these fonts on each client machine
is not an option.
If there is no such plan to include embedded fonts in the near future, we
may have to go back to Crystal Reports.
Thanks,
George
Thanks,
GeorgeGeorge,
From what I understand, the font must be installed on the report server
itself and of course, you must have had it installed on your designer
workstation when you designed the report. Have you done a test?
As an example, we use the font Ariel Unicode to properly display our
diatrics properly - but the legal way to have this font is to install
Microsoft Word - so we now have our customers install MS Word 2003 on the
web server to get this font.

I do have the font installed on the reportserver and on the designer
workstation. My reports are exported to PDF. When I view the reports on my
machine I get to see the Barcode and OCRA fonts. When I view the report on a
machine which doesnt have these fonts , the fonts just don't show up. The
issue has to do with embedding fonts with the pdf, in which case the fonts
will show up on all client machines. I know that currently RS doesnt support
embedding fonts. There were some rumours that they might consider something
in a future release. Would just like to hear from them regarding a more
specific timeframe.
If it's like in a couple of months, we could wait, else we have to do this
in crystal.
Thanks|||George - what would happen if you save that PDF file on your local machine,
then go over to the machine that doesn't have this font and open the PDF
document - does it render the PDF correctly?

No lucj with that either. The pdf shows correctly only on the machine that
has the font installed.

embed barcode in pdf

We export a report (pdf format) from Reporting Services that contains
barcodes. If someone tries to view the pdf on a computer that doesn't have
the barcode font loaded it doesn't show up. Is there a way to embed the
barcode image in the pdf?
Thanks,
TimPerhaps someone else will jump in but I am pretty sure there is no way to
embed the font in RS 2005.
RS 2008 will have barcode support (part of the Dundas controls that
Microsoft purchased and is including in RS 2008). This support will allow
you to get around this problem. Today your only choice is to have anyone
that needs to print barcodes to have the font on their machine.

Emails Are Being Lost - Not Sent

I am running SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services SP2.
I have data driven subscriptions that are being logged in the
reporting services logs as being emailed successfully, but there is no
record of them in the email server logs. Only some of the recipeints
are not receiving the emails - most of them do go through succesfully.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Where should I look?I'm experiencing pretty much the same problem. I've got a few subscriptions
scheduled on a Windows 2000 SP4 Server with Reporting Services Enterprise
version 8.0.1038.00 that are displayed as successfully delivered, but there
is no trace of the emails being sent. If I restart the ReportServer service
and reschedule the subscription, it runs and the email is successfully
delivered, but I'm not sure why the subscriptions are failing. Anyone
experience this or have a resolution?
Thanks,

e-mailing reports and refreshing reports automatically

Hello:
I know that you can e-mail SQL Reporting Services reports. But, can the
reports be configured to refresh their data automatically and be e-mailed to
users automatically with the refreshed data?
Or, would someone have to go into SQL Reporting Services, manually refresh,
and manually e-mail the reports?
Thanks!
childofthe1980sOrdinarily, this is automatic. Unless you tell a report to pull from a
stored snapshot, it is running your queries and re-pulling the data
automatically each time the report is run...
Maybe I misunderstand your question?

automatically behind the scenes without user intervention.
Thanks!

"intervene". Unless you *told* the report to hold a static snapshot, it
*always* pulls the data live, at each subscription run instance.

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

Ken, any luck with this problem?

I'm having the same issue - can email fine when only sending a link in the report subscription, but send fails when attempting to include an attachment. Just getting the following logon failure in the report server logs:

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.

3. Set permissions on your smtp server to allow the service account to send email.

Email validation in ReportManager

Setting up a timed subscription in Reporting Services works just fine on our
server when the email address is joe@.domain.com. The Report server is set
up pointing to our SMTP server and works like a champ. Reports go out and
our chosen format (PDF) is generated and all is good.
When we enter a non-standard Email in the TO field (a RightFax email
address), the timed event runs and gives us a status of "The e-mail address
of one or more recipients is not valid."
Our question is: How can we turn off email validation within reporting
services so it will connect to the SMTP server (Exchange)?
ThanksHi,
This issue is usually caused by the fact that Email Relay is not turned on.
You may see something like the following in the Reporting Services Logfiles:
ReportingServicesService!emailextension!b14!10/14/2004-08:20:06:: Error
sending mail, CDO error -2147220977, will not resend
ReportingServicesService!emailextension!b14!10/14/2004-08:20:06:: Error
sending email. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004020F):
The server
rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550
5.7.1 Unable to relay for xxx@.xxx.xxx

False, Status: The e-mail
address of one or more recipients is not valid., DeliveryExtension: Report
Server
Emai
If this is the case, you need to turn on email relay on the SMTP server.
If the error in the Reporting Services log file is not the same, please let
me know the exact error message so that we could get a better idea of the
issue.
The log file is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\Logfiles

Any help? i can put any email?Have you tried emailing the file to an external email account of yours?
Something like hotmail, yahoo, gmail...
Open the file at home and see if it opens correctly.
By the way, there is a newsgroup for reporting services -
microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvsc. If you do not get a solution here
you might want to post to the other group (with move information).

Email Subscriptions in Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services

Hi,

I have changed my Reporting services from Windows Security to Forms Security. When I deploy reports on the local SQL server, a windows pops up. This windows requires my username and password for the report server. After I input them, everything works fine.

However, When I deploy reports to the above server from the different SQL server located on a different computer, the windows always pops up, although I type the same username and same password. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.Is this a Windows dialog box from IE? If so, have you enabled anonymous access to the ReportServer and Reports virtual directories in the IIS management console?This is one of the pre-requisites for making forms authentication work.

Thanks
Tudor|||Hi,

Yes, I have already changed them on the computer where my reporting server is located. In fact, I have succeeded in implementing Forms security locally. Like what I described in my question post, after my inputing username and password, local deploying is fine. But when I deploy from another computer, after my inputer the same username and password, the poped-up windows is still there.

Moreover, I also encountered another problem. When email-subscription works under windows security, but it doesn't work under forms security. The error is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Any ideas about them?

Thanks a lot.|||Urgent. any ideas?|||

Check whether the error comes from the (modified) sample code. For instance the sample implementation of GetUserInfo checks for the existence of the HttpContext and returns null if it's not present.
If you have changed that, it would be possible that it could fail when running the report as part of a subscription.

Thanks
Tudor

|||How do you enable anonymous access to the ReportServer? I have an application that references the URL of the report. It is also prompting for credentials. I would really not like to pass the login and password through. Currently we are using one standard user name and password.

Thanks in advance!|||You enable anonymous in the IIS settings. Note, security will effectively be disabled at this point.|||I received a differnent error while using the Forms Extension with SQL REporting Services 2005 when trying to use email subscriptions. The error I received is "

The Forms extension failed to read its configuration settings from the RSReportServer.config configuration file. The extension is not available to users."

Any ideas

Thanks

Thanks,
