I want to create in my website a navigation for SSRS. I will have left panel with all the reports I have and on the right I will have a div with the report the user selected. can I embedded the SSRS report viewer in an HTML div?
The report viewer you see when going to:
http://<server>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2f<path>%2f<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render
Also, can I pass username in the URL? I tried to user
http://<server>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2f<path>%2f<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render&UserId='username'
and I get error:
An attempt was made to set a report parameter 'UserId' that is not defined in this report. (rsUnknownReportParameter)
Thanks
More Info:
I am using DataExtensions and the userid gives me the database I need to connect to. In winforms I can use the Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.DataSourceCredentials object to specify the DB, but in WebForm I can't use DataSourceCredentials (readonly)
Any ideas?
(rsUnknownReportParameter) means you are trying to set a report parameter that does not exist. I would suggest looking at your report again and making sure its spelled correctly in both SSRS and on your URL.
For your first question the answer is yes, you could create different pages for your reports on your site and use the report viewer control to reference the server reports on those pages. Then on your menu change the div iframe to whatever report you wanted to navigate to. Throw Something like this in your menu button Report
That will change the src of a iframe with the id IframeID. Theres a few different ways to accomplish your question of adding SSRS reports to a web app. This is just my go to method.

I'm getting the error: "An attempt was made to set a report parameter 'ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH"' that is not defined in this report. when I try to view my reports in a web browser. I'm executing this reports through a menu with button code. When the page comes up I get the error.
I have added manually ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH in parameter level report design. this ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH was enum which I used to print filter expression based on menu item button. eg: when click on original menu button it needs to print original on report design if etc copy button wise versa....
Can you please help me how to resolve this?
Are you using an SSRS Reporting server to host your reports? If so, have you deployed the report and tried restarting the Reporting server after the changes?
What editor are you using to edit the .rdl files?
If deploying and restarting the server doesn't help there is probably a typo in your .rdl file somewhere since you manually add stuff. Try using Report Builder and check if that gives you more info about the issue.
how to build birt reports with parameters from view page:instead of birts default input box, here user provides required parameter from codeigniter view page.I have built a view page to input parameter. I have used and tested birts feature to allow user input! Now i want to input form codeigniter controller.
Thanks in advance
If I understand correctly, you want to run BIRT report directly from your application without using BIRT default window for filling out report filters (parameters). This can be done by specifying report parameters within URL with which you are calling BIRT report.
Example: http:// host : port /birt/run?__report=report_name.rptdesign¶meter1=parameter1value¶meter2=parameter2value...
Is it possible to add a report description (text) near the parameters area, before the report is run in the Report Builder 3.0. Essentially, when the users click the report and right before they run it, I want to provide them with a small description of what the report does and what the parameters. I can do that in the footer but it wont help, because the footer is only generated after the report has executed. Please let me know.
Thanks.
This is not possible with the default SSRS interface. You'll have to wrap SSRS with your own interface to add this.
To build your own SSRS interface, you can use a few different methods, such as embedding a ReportViewer control in a Asp.NET application, or using URL access in an iframe. See How to change the SSRS input parameters position in report
Of course, with Javascript and client side DOM manipulation, you probably could sneak your content into place, but it's not a supported option.
The main problem is that you can't show a report if parameters are needed for it until those parameters are chosen. If you don't want to provide default parameters another way to solve this problem is by actually having 2 reports.
In report #1 you put the parameters and the text box of instructions, but nothing actually using those parameters.
In report #2 you put the parameters and the actual report.
At the bottom of report #1 have a button, that just goes to report #2 passing the parameters selected.
I've used this technique to provide instructions on parameters when I want a quick-and-dirty solution (as opposed to a proper solution such as what Jamie suggested with embedding)
I have a SSRS report with an action on a text-box.
Go to report property is set to the parent report so this makes the parent report also a drillthrough report for itself.
I deployed the report on the report server and it is rendered ok and also the drillthrough action works ok in the Report Manager.
When I attach this report to a ReportViewer control in an .aspx the parent report is rendered ok but the drillthrough action causes an error (Invalid argument).
I have 2 visible and 3 hidden parameters for this report.
I tried to override the ReportViewerCtrl_Drillthrough event and added the following code:
ReportViewerCtrl.ServerReport.SetParameters(reportParamList);
ReportViewerCtrl.ServerReport.Refresh();
where reportParamList is a list of parameters passed from the parent report to the drillthrough report but I get the same error (I used DrillthroughEventArgs.Report.GetParameters() to get the list of parameters and they're passed by in a correct way).
I didn't find on other forums something like this related to reports deployed on Server Report (only for local report).
Any idea would be very much appreciated!
I have found the issue for this.
It was related to the way .aspx page was built.
My report viewer control was framed by a form tag but it appears it also needed a table tag too.
So this is how my .aspx page looks now:
table
tr
td
form
ReportViewer Control
/form
/td
/tr
/table
I have a report (in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008) that has multiple parameters, but works very well. However, one of my users (my boss, of course) wants to be able to e-mail a link to the report using the parameters they have specified. They do not want to send the report itself, but just a link to it. However, as you set parameter values and click "View Report", the URL shown in the browser does not contain the parameter values in the querystring (just the default report path), and therefore is not really usable.
I know that this functionality is possible, because if I add a subscription to the report, and check the "include link" checkbox, I get an e-mail with a link like this:
http://servername/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fRoot+Action+Analysis&ShowChart=2&sPN=&iDept=All&rs%3aParameterLanguage=en-US
Is there a server setting that could be changed to show the FULL URL (with parameters) as users generate new reports?
Thank in advance!
I don't know how to change the settings so that the full URL is shown.
As a workaround you could add a textbox to the bottom of your report, and build the URL yourself in an expression by concatenating Globals!ReportServerURL, Globals!ReportFolder, Globals!ReportName, Globals!Language and your various Parameters.
