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.

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.
Good morning, All.
First let me start off by saying that I'm extremely new at CRM and even after reading umpteen million articles, whitepapers, and blog entries, I still feel completely lost.
I have an instance of Dynamics CRM 2013 On Premise that I'm trying to write custom reports for. Before I realized that all reports had to be done inside of BIDS, I wrote out a beautiful custom Quote inside of SSRS itself. I made sure to use the Filtered Views in my query to the database, and the structure of the query seems sound, but I can't seem to upload the .rdl file into CRM.
I get the error:
Reporting Error
Error occurred while setting the data source for the report
I have two questions:
How do I move this report into CRM without having to fully recreate it in BIDS?
How do I pass the Quote ID from CRM to this report query?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
Edit: Added Error Message
You Should be able to upload the RDL directly to CRM...
Try creating a really basic report with the same data source and something along the lines of "select top 10 from filteredincident" and upload it.
If it works then you know it's something with your query.
CRM is notorious for giving error messages that don't have enough information, or are at worst misleading. I've seen this error when I accidentally used non filtered tables and a autofilter parameter that was incorrect.
Also take a look at the SSRS server that CRM talks to, if it's misconfigured that may cause an issue as well. You may want to try uploading your report to SSRS and run it from there to ensure that SSRS is working correctly.
I want to consume a SSRS report within a windows service (wrote in C#). The service will then export the report as a PDF and write it to disk.
Is this even possible? I am new to SSRS.
Interesting question Mick. We have done code where we can call the SSRS report and export it as PDF but that code is in DLL. Now windows service is no different I would advise you to go through the following code http://sandeep-aparajit.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/how-to-execute-and-save-ssrs-report.html and try the same. It should work as far as i can see the only problem you might come across might be Code access security but it is worth a try. Thanks for the question you have given me an idea.
The URL for Reporting services will depend on what version of SSRS you are using but as you can see you can easily spot and change it http:///reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx instead of 2005 you might have to change to 2008 or something.
I've been requested to implement a means of reporting on add/update/deletes on files stored sharepoint (MOSS 2007). After a little bit of research I found out sharepoint has out of the box document auditing which I enabled a couple days ago. I ran the report today, but excel spreadsheet was not very easy to look at.
Also I'm not positive of this, but I believe only site collection administrators can generate thsi audit report, and I dont really want to give the people who want these reports that much permission.
I'm curious what are some alternatives or recommendations? Should I try and get this information off the sQL Server and display it in reporting services, or perhaps try and build a include it in a dashboard?
Thanks
If you have access to the SSRS instance for SharePoint, you can get the report file. You can then make a copy and edit for the report you would like. permissions are a separate issue that can be tackled however you desire, especially if you create a copy and store as a new report.
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.
