I use VS2012 to develop reports. I have a report that has 4 parameters. Each of those parameters has a dataset associated with it. When I run the report in VS2012 Preview it works fine. After I have uploaded it to the server using a web framework it leaves any parameter using a dataset off the report entirely. So my assumption is that something is missing on the .aspx side that recognizes those parameter datasets...if it is even possible. Any direction/assistance appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know if it is possible to have SSRS log a PDF of every report run? I'd like to store the output (preferrably a PDF) somewhere of every report. I need to store what was visually presented to them, not just the parameters that were passed in.
Can SSRS do this out of the box somehow? If it can't, I'll have to log a copy via code on each call we make to the server, which I'm worried will slow down our application. Our reports are run from front-end code calling into SSRS, if that matters.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I don't think its possible out of box. Its a very unique requirement.
Possible solution is to create a report which will be using ReportServer.dbo.ExecutionLog table to generate report of execution. Once your report is ready you can configure it to generate PDFs. You can refer to http://blogs.wrox.com/article/creating-a-report-server-usage-report-with-sql-server-reporting-services/ for creating such report.
In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.
I have created few SSRS reports in SQL server 2012 with Visual Studio 2010 version.
And I have deployed them to one SharePoint Site.
I want to make this automated, so that data available in the reports are up to date.
So, now I would like to create SSIS package which will run periodically to get up to date data using integration services. I am very much new to SSIS. I have tried to look at different sites for this, but I am not getting an exact idea from where to start.
Can anyone please guide me on this? How can I create a WSDL file URL for the SharePoint report? Do I really need it if report is already made in SSRS or do I just want to run that?
Thank you.
Would SSRS caching solve your problem?
Otherwise, there's nothing SSIS specific to solving your problem. You will simply need to use the .NET library to visit the page with the appropriate parameters. Visit your report page and copy the full URL.
Inside a Script Task use that URL as part of the WebClient. You'll probably need to supply credentials with this. No need to deal with storing the output, you'll simply want to validate that you get a 200 message code
Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve? Do you want to automate the running of the Reporting Services reports? In that case you should look at Report Subscriptions.
I'm pretty new to Reporting Services though I have a lot of experience with Crystal Reports and databases (and MS Access reports if that counts ;-). Anyway, I created simple reporting project in VS2008 using wizard, with simple stored procedure that has 2 options parameters - and since they're optional I do not assign their values. There's data in the dataset's "Preview data" window, but when I run the report it's empty - there're headers/etc but no data.
What can be wrong here? Can it be because I do not assign SP parameters - and if so, how do I do it? And how do I debug such cases "in general"? There's no even "preview" in report designer in VS2008.
Hm, I created report with tables inside, and manually added SP - it worked. But it shows data incorrectly in matrix. When I do the same thing using wizard in Report Builder 2.0 - it works like a charm - report is created, there's a preview, and data is correct in the resulting page. Looks like either VS2008 is broken or I don't understand something in there.
I've been working with SSRS 2005 reports for a little while now, and I've had a few requests come across asking for individual users to be able to save the parameters they use for the next time they run the report. Is this feasible? Is it a part of the "My Reports" role? Any thoughts?
I don't know if that can be done using the report manager, but you could always use URL parameters and pass through that way, then just give them the link to follow which will take them to their report (or render it as a PDF or other format if you wish) and already have the parameters passed in.
Here is a link that will take you to a lot of MSDN documentation about URL Access for your Reports.
I think you'll have to stop using the built-in UI and build your own report front-end to do that. I have always used RS this way and it is not all that complicated.
