All of my applications report in as published and up, however, I've gone from 60+ daily downloads to absolutely zero across all applications for several days straight. This seems very odd and more like an error in MS reporting on dev.windowsphone.com. Does anyone know why this may have happened? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I think they have downvoted your question because is not a code related question..
Anyway.. It's a DevCenter's known issue and normally it's resolved within a few days..
All the lost report will be restored, don't worry! It's not the first time!

I am following the tutorials for reporting services on the microsoft website and currently on: this tutorial.
I am just going to the web portal on my local host, going to the data source option of the report, but it is impossible to change something when I select "Use the following credentials"( see below screen). what you don't see on the screen for some reason is that the cursor becomew a probibited sign when hovering over the field "user name" or "password".
I tried it in several browers (edge, IE, firefox and Chrome), but everywhere it is the same. I am logged on as administrator, so I would assume it is not a permission issue (altough the change in cursor makes me suspect otherwise).
I tried googling the subject for an hour or 2, but i didn't come across any useful information. As far as I can tell I configured the Reporting service correctly.
I do notice that the first time I open the "Manage" menu of a report I only see the options "properties" and "security". When Inavigate back to the menu and try again I suddenly see all menu options like you see on the screenshot. I also often get the pop up "something went wrong, please try again later"
I am running windows 10 on my laptop and installed SQL server express 2017. I did read that SQL express does not support all features of the reporting services, could that be the root cause of the issue's?
I know this is quite vague, that is also what makes it hard for me to look it up... I hope someone else out there has encountered the same :)
Thanks for the input!
To answer my own question:
I was stupid enough to use SQL Express edition and this does not have all the features required to run SQL reporting services. After installing SQL developer edition all worked as it should.
I have been creating reports that include drillthrough. It was successful, everything worked but then the next day it gives me an error...For example, a certain parameter is missing...but I did not make any changes after the report was successfully ran the previous day..Same thing happened to multiple reports at different times. It is quite frustrating because I even made screenshots that everything worked at first but the next day everything failed...Such a mystery...
If anyone has any ideas about it, it would be highly appreciated...
Thank you.
So currently my boss and I are the two employees that work on our company's access database. I just got Office 2013 on my computer and he is will working with 2010. We have ran into some inexplicable bugs with the database.
Most of these can be fixed by just copying an old version of a form or report into the database when it fails; however, it is quite disconcerting when we spend hours trying to discover why something is wrong and are able to fix it without explaining why.
Most of the issues so far have occurred when I am using the db in Access 2013. So far the issues have been:
Access occasionally crashes and restarts when I am working in the VB code
Some forms bug out for no reason. It yet again occurs when I am working in the VB code if there is a compile erro. To further explain the "bugging out", the form usually contains about 2000 separate forms that you can search through, but when it bugs out it will only show one blank form. At first I panicked thinking all the table's data was gone, but nothing changed the table
There have been other hiccups, but nothing noteworthy besides these two
I guess my question is if anyone else has had issues along these lines, or if they knew of any other known issues. I tried to research errors people have been having, but I couldn't find anything besides Microsoft's official release of what features were being deleted.
As always, thanks in advance!
Your system should be split into two files. FE(front end) containing all forms, queries, code, etc., linked to the BE. BE(back end) containing the data tables only.
Maintain a development copy of the FE that is only used for making modifications.
Each user should have their own copy of the FE on their local machine. If you don't know how to split, just search for it as there are plenty of instructions out there.
I have 2010, but I worked with a consultant who worked on the same project in 2013. I too, saw some behavior that looked like version related bugs, but nothing definite.
Responding to your list:
Access occasionally crashes and restarts when I am working in the VB code -- This has happened to me in every version of Access I have used, from 97 to 2010.
Some forms bug out for no reason. It yet again occurs when I am working in the VB code if there is a compile error... -- If the compile error is severe enough to lose project state, this is not surprising.
Recommendations:
Decompile your application front-end occasionally, especially when 'weird' errors show up. See this SO link: automating decompile / recompile in ms-access
Compact & Repair at least daily while developing your application
Backup! Do this at least for every significant revision. Sometimes, the Access front-end will become so corrupt that it trashes all of your work. When this happens, nothing is recoverable.
I have an interesting issue with TFS reports. When I run the QUERY: Team Queries->Planning and Tracking->Work Breakdown, I see the correct information, which is to say that I see the work items, etc. that are entered into TFS. However, when I run the REPORT: Reports->Project Management->Requirements Overview I see that same data PLUS data that is no longer in the system.
Important information:
* I am using TFS 2010
* When I originally created this project, I used a Microsoft Project plan to upload the work items. Before my team started using it, I decided to forget about Project and just use the web/studio interface, so I used the query "Delete all items" to clean the database.
While the clean worked in all other cases, this report seems to be holding on to those items, and I would like to know if there is a way to fix that. It has been several weeks, and I ran the cube reports to see if it was updating (everything updates fine).
Anyone have a clue what's going on here?
I'm not familiar with the query that you talk about, but if you do a delete of workitems, the delete may not have been propagated to your warehouse (and subsequently the cube). If you have a relatively small number of WorkItems in your TFSWorkItemTracking database, it may be a good idea to rebuild your TFSWarehouse, which will then refresh your cube.
Take a look at the SetupWarehouse.exe command, which should be installed on your Application Tier. This could take anywhere from an hour to a day to run, depending on your version control and work item tracking database, so you may want to do it off hours. It shouldn't affect the day-to-day execution of TFS, just the reports.
The above is for TFS 2008 Only. Per Matthew below, here's the answer for TFS 2010
From what I found SetupWarehouse.exe
no longer exists with TFS2010. In the
Administration Console, under
Application Tier->Reporting, there is
an option called "Start Rebuild".
Using this completely resolved my
problem. Thank you. It should be noted
that there is NO feedback from
clicking on "Start Rebuild". At first
it looked like the admin panel hung,
then it came back without feedback. It
took about an hour for reports to
start working again, which is the only
way I knew it was done.
If you ever get into the situation again where you need to permanently get rid of one or more workitems, you should get the TFS Power Tools. The TFPT utility has a "destroywi" command that allows you to permanently (and safely) remove workitems from TFS.
Power Tools are available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb980963
So I'm working with SSRS (SQL Server 2005), which some of our applications use to generate downloads. The problem with it, though, is that the Reports website that is used to manage it seems to crash randomly. I haven't yet figured out a rhyme or reason to it - only that it will suddenly bust out with a 'Specified cast is not valid' exception and any further attempts to do anything will fail with
The item '/' cannot be found (RsItemNotFound)
Is there a place I can start looking to help me debug this issue? Are there logs that might have more in-depth information than the useless error messages I'm getting?
Is there anything in the standard event logs? You'll probably find lots of logs to go through in (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\LogFiles)...that's the default path at least.
we have a web app at where i work that occasinally, after it's been left alone for a while, has to "recompile" and will take a few seconds before it'll show a page. i've noticed that ssrs does this at times, and it might or might not be causing your problem.
you could test this by setting up an instance of ssrs on your local machine (that you know no one will get on) and running your downloads against that.
also, check and make sure no one is turning anything off or doing any backups when you are doing the downloads.
