I have created a SSRS report that has 7 pages that I would like to have loop from beginning to end and then refresh every few minutes. Is this possible? I have been searching, but cannot find anything on how to do it. I have SQL Server 2008.
Thank you!
I would set the AutoRefresh property on the Report object, using BIDS/Visual Studio. This is in seconds so a value of 120 = 2 minutes.
In SQL Server Reporting Services, we can set the report to refresh automatically based on a specific time interval. However, it is not supported to set the report to jump to the next page in a loop at the same time. I recommend you submit your suggestion to the Microsoft Connect at http://connect.microsoft.com/. Your feedback is valuable for Microsoft to improve products and increase the level of service provide

How can we use a "bot" to check with SSRS if the reports are ready to view in certain period of time intervals. for example like every 3 minutes the bot will check with SSRS if the reports are ready. If the reports are ready the bot can send a message back to client saying the reports ready to view.
Thanks
I am not entirely sure why you want to do this, but you can track every execution of every report in SSRS via the ReportServer database. You can have a look through the database and roll your own script, though there is already a helpful view available called ExecutionLog3, which holds the report name, user that ran it, when, with which parameters set, the render type, execution failure/success, etc.
I'm writing you because I need some advice.
I'm working on SSRS reports and SQL Server 2012 during my internship for an enterprise. I wrote reports with interaction parameters, but some reports are very slow when someone wants to use/run them on SQL Server Reporting Services. As the enterprise uses Windows integrated security, I can't configure cached reports in order to improve execution time for reports with main (or default) parameters.
At the end, my goal is: if people who need to see reports can receive an email every Sunday for example, with a link for new reports... That could be awesome.
Could someone give me an advice please?
Thank you in advance.
You can schedule Reports on SSRS and send them in Excel format with default parameters. Just click on manage on the report and select subscriptions.
You can even select the emails from a query.

I am having a problem with some CRM Reports as they are not being rendered with the error
Microsoft.Crm.Reporting.DataExtensionShim.Common.ReportExecutionException: The fetch data set query timed out after 307.9435095 seconds. Increase the query timeout, and try again.
I dont know where to change that limit , but I changed the following limits in both CRM Application servers.
OLEDBTimeout , ExtendedTimeout , NormalTimeout
Do not time out ( through ReportManager for the whole report manager and for the report itself)
executed SessionTimeout.rss script against the report manager
executiontime and maxrequestlength in web.config for CRM website
But I am still getting the error as I cant optimize the query , the report is huge and takes 5 minutes of processing but it keeps showing an error after exactly 319 seconds.
This problem applies to CRM out of the box reports and also for reports developed in BIDS
Reports works fine if the data is not huge.
Joe CRM at Power Objects has a little guide that might help.
Hope that helps.
I am wanting to create a one-time SSRS shared schedule that can be altered once run, to execute again at a future point in time. The reason I am having to set-up a subscription in this way is because I need to email a set of reports based on a bespoke accounting calendar; we don't have enterprise so data-driven is not an option.
I have tested this method in the ReportServer.dbo.Subscription and Schedule tables, but have so far not managed to get it to work. I have updated the NextRunTime and StartTime columns of the Schedule table to the time I require the reports to be sent, and this appears to update on the Report Server Shared Schedules page (Next Run) but the email does not send.
Is there another table on the ReportServer database that I need to update, or is this simply not possible?
Thanks
Andy
I suggest taking a look at the article below. It details how to set up data driven subscriptions on SQL Server Standard Edition, and goes through manually activating subscriptions via SQL Server Agent.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Development/datadrivensubscriptions/2432/
I've used if for a couple of clients and it generally works pretty well. The only thing I've since altered is increasing the timer to 10 seconds between running each data driven report.

In reading up on this, messing abound in the tables is not supported by Microsoft. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I attempted the very same thing. When you change a subscription on the front end, the ReportServer.dbo.Schedule.StartDate column changes with each edit. I tried just altering this value, but adding a value here made no difference. There was no email and when I went back to my subscription in the SSRS webpage, the original datetime value was there. So that datetime must be stored elsewhere.
I did a SQL Trace and found these Sproc's were being called. I copied out the lines that looked promising. By changing the time value #active_start_time=160400 in the last one and running the entire batch, I could get an emailed report at the desired time. But I am not content with this; because when I go back and view My Subscriptions webpage, the original datetime is still listed.

I have a Dynamics 2011 Dashboard with a link to and SSRS report via an iFrame. It works well, but the report I am viewing is slow to refresh. I'd like to schedule the report and have the dashboard automatically point to the latest snapshot.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Ryan
If you want to have control over when the report is refreshed - like 3am in the morning - you should use a snapshot. You need to assign default parameters and then set the execution settings for the report in SSRS report manager.
If having the report re-run throughout the day is acceptable, you can use the caching option, also in the execution settings in SSRS report manager. Once the cache has expired for your report, the next user that runs it will have to wait.
