i have developed SSRS report with has summary report which is linked to six sub reports. i have provided eight parameters in summary report to make it user friendly. But when linked to sub reports it is working fine, but i want to provide back to summary button(link) in other sub reports.And it should be in a such a way that summary report should not be reset.(i.e Parameter selected should not change in summary report).
Any one has a solution for it.
Waiting for your positive response.
Thank you,
Adding buttons to the ReportViewer is a mind field at best. (Although, using the .NET web version, it's possible to add something like a "Clear/Reset Button" using JavaScript.)
However, the functionality you are after is already available, see the Microsoft Documentation on Configuring and Using the ReportViewer Toolbar.

I work on a team that creates custom SSRS reports for our end users that are viewed using Report Manager or Sharepoint depending on the end user community. Some end users are technical and know how to use BIDS or Visual Studio. This presents a support problem when the end user makes modifications to our reports. I would like to obfuscate our SSRS custom report source to prevent this. Is there a way to do this?
The only solution I see is to build your own report viewer, so the rdls could be stored encrypted and decrypted inside the viewer. But this creates a "propietary" solutions which could not be the suitable one for your customer/project.
Is it possible to take a Crystal Reports report created from a BAQ, load it onto an Epicor Dashboard and then deploy it back into Crystal Reports?
What I am looking for is a way to link several reports I have created in CR without using the subreports capabilities in CR since I was informed by Epicor tech support that this is not possible (also tested this out and received an application error).
Overall, I am trying to have 5 or 6 reports linked together so that my end user can enter information into one parameter and receive the appropriate information from each of those reports. I'm not sure what is the best way to go about this, whether the Dash should be used or if there is a better option.
I'm a CR and Epicor newbie, so any help is much appreciated!
You can do this by creating one "container" report and add all reports as subreports to it. This will not work if your reports already contain subreports because Crystal allows just one level of subreports. Another option is to write your own application or to use a 3rd party viewer.
I have used a Guage as a clock. It is set to auto-refresh for every 3 sec.
It is running properly, but whole report is refreshing, reloading. So cant get a feel of a clock.
So I tried to use this (Clock) report as a sub-report in another report (say main report) which is not set to auto-refresh.
I am not getting why my sub-report is not auto-refreshed in main report.
Ideas & Hints are welcome!
I've never used the auto-refresh property of a report but I would guess that since it is a report-level property what you're expecting to happen won't work. In order for only the subreport part of the report to refresh it would effectively need to be a frame or iframe (using HTML as a reference). SSRS does not render this way and so your subreport isn't going to autorefresh. It renders the subreport and shows it in the subreport control and moves on.
I'm not really sure how you could have a dynamically updating element in a report using the standard controls. It would need javascript or some kind of other client-side scripting language that gets processed in order to keep functioning and even then it would only work when rendered to HTML.
Basically I don't think this is possible without a third party add-on, and I don't know of one that allows dynamic refreshing of individual report elements without refreshing the whole report.
If you can program in .NET you could write your own custom control for SSRS. This is effectively a third party addon you would create yourself. You could create a clock control and even give it properties to make it customizable. If you're going to use it in reports that you deploy to a report server you'll need enough access to that server to deploy the control assembly to the necessary location.

So here's my issue:
We have 5 reports that need to be combined into an "All Reports" report, which was originally done using VB6.
I created a master report with 5 subreports, and of course, it doesn't work.
I need to get certain reports to render as landscape, and others as portrait. Also, I want to get the headers and footers from each of the subreports.
I know that SSRS doesn't support either of these, but is there a way to "pre-render" the subreports as PDF, and then combine them into one PDF via reporting services?
This cannot be done out of the box. The only way you're going to accomplish this is through custom code. There are tools out there that you can build/buy to merge your PDFs into a single document. I can't comment on which tool is the best approach, but I can tell you custom code is the only approach.
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.
