Reports time out - reporting-services

Good day
I have problem that really puzzle me. I wrote a report in visual basic 2008 when I run it it works perfectly. When I copied the report to report sever and run it it works perfectly.
I coded my asp.net application and call the report on a small database with about 500 entries everything shows and doesn't time out.
Problem is when entries the report must show becomes more than 500 the report runs but it stop and just show nothing it is as if it times out. There is no error nothing just stops.
I have no idea what to do? Anyone with any advise please.
I have change in the report server web.config file this setting to longer like "30000"
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="9000" />
Then on the report it self on server change the setting to never time out.
Then in the asp.net web config file change the timeout to "30000" but still when data to much the report just stop like I said no error no warning nothing it just stop and there is no info displaying so if anyone have any advise please assist.

I would use SQL profiler to see what is being submitted to the database. Take that query and run it in SSMS. View the explain plan in SSMS. This may let you know why the query is becoming so slow with the larger data. I would also look at the report server logs - something will be in there.

How to find report execution log for visual studio preview of report

I am working on an existing SSRS report. It works when viewed in a browser from the report server (~ 30 seconds load), but loads for quite a while in visual studio preview (~ 10 minutes). The queries themselves are fast, so something about the report specifically is causing the slowdown.
As for what I have tried so far, I tried deleting the cached .data file (no fix), deploying the report (works fine when deployed), recreating the data sources, as well as attempting to avoid bad query plans from parameter sniffing (see Fast query runs slow in SSRS). None of these fix the problem. The problem only happens specifically when using local preview.
Many articles describe viewing the execution log to figure out what stage the report is taking so much time in (query, data processing, rendering). I would like to do this so I can narrow down the cause, but it works fine on the report server, just not on the local preview. How can I get the equivalent execution log when running local preview, given there is no report database?
I suspect that because forcing the query plans to recompile doesn't solve the problem, and because the report works fine with the same query against the same server when deployed, that the actual problem might be some weird rendering bug. I have heard this can happen with certain pagination settings, but I want to confirm what general area this problem is in.

Strange issue in SSRS 2016. I am unable to select parameters or run the report intermittently, it works fine most of the time

I am having a strange issue with SSRS 2016. We setup a new server and uploaded some reports, the reports ran fine for few days. The issue is, randomly the report doesnt run, When I load the report page, the parameters appear blank and I am unable to select any parameters. If I try to run and click the view reports button, nothing happens. After few mins/hours, it automatically resolves.
We have contacted MS support and could not get anything to get this resolved
Has Anybody faced a similar issue ?
This does not constitute an answer but it won't fit in a comment!
Does this affect more than one report?
If more than one, do they all fail at the same time or will one work and another not when you try to run the at the same time?
If the situation is "all fail" or "all work" at any single point in time then try adding a new report with no parameters.
If this attempts to run when other reports fail then it sounds like the datasource cannot be resolved or a timeout connecting to the database.
If your parameters are populated by querying the database the report will 'hang' until it can complete the queries to populate the parameters so by running a parameter-less report you should see an error instead.
Try running a trace on the database server to see if you can see the queries being run at all.
A bit vague I know but it might help you understand where the problem lies a little better.

Access Subreport Shows In Print Preview But Doesn't Print/Export

I can't figure out what is going on with my report in Access 2010. When I run it, all the queries and recordsources are generated and the report shows up, perfectly full of data and formatted in print preview. If I try and print a hard copy or export to PDF, the subreports don't print. I have done compact and repair, closed and opened, and check everything I know, but it's not working. The only thing that I can think of is that the subreports are based on temp tables I generate and set within VBA after I pull all the parameters I need. But I don't see why this would cause it to preview but not print? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Here's the solution I found... when I moved the table creation code to the button that prompted the report rather than having it use the openargs in the open event of the subreport, it worked. Don't know why exactly it liked it one place better than the other, but I'm glad that it works now!
After many hours in research and experimentation the only solution was a third party print function: http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm. Leben’s function always produces a printable PDF with visible subreports.
No modification of the report’s properties was of any value, though this is suggested by various posts; it failed to work for me. Similarly, compact and repair failed to help, as did the creation of a wholly new MDB file and importing all the forms/tables/queries. I ran the MDB in Access 2003 and in Access 2010 on another machine and had the same failure.
This points of course to the issue being embedded within Access. Research shows this has been an issue plaguing Access for many years; in its inimitable lack of care for users getting work done Microsoft has failed to even comment on this, much less fix it.
I had a similar issue and thought that I should post my fix in case someone else runs into the same problem.
I had a report with two subreports on it. From a form, I would select from several combo boxes and then hit the button to run the report. When the report opened (in preview and in report-view) it looked fine, and the subreports worked fine. However, when I tried to print or save, the subreports would not show up.
My solution was in my queries and in the form. The report's source queries were pulling criteria from the combo boxes on the form. Once the report was run, the combo boxes would clear, thus clearing the criteria for the queries. After the report is run, the report looks at the queries again when you try to print/save.
If you have a similar setup, I would suggest checking your source queries again after the report is run to see if you are still getting results. You should see the same data in your queries and in your report. If not, there's where to start looking. Hope this helps anyone else struggling with the same issue.

Executing an SSRS 2012 report cause the browser not to respond

I am using Dynamics CRM 2013 on premise.
I have built all the reports based on stored procedures in SSRS.
one report however, that has no issue with execution definitions, permissions or what ever,
once executed causes to browser to crash (any browser, i tried FF, Chrome, IE9 and up, )
it seems the problem is not a report execution problem but a report rendering problem for this specific report.
I cannot cache the report or make a snapshot of it, as the values of the reports also depends on the user running the report (among other parameters user-defined) and each user should get a different result. - i have more than 400 users.
I have tried searching for any one who had face this kind of issue and reported on it but failed. hence decided to post this question my self.
if anyone has any idea, please share.
thanks
Have you enabled tracing/logging in SSRS? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156500.aspx
You might turn on verbose logging while trying to run the report to see if you can get more helpful information.
If you write code, you can write a .NET application that calls the SSRS web services to render the report. Doing that will help you know for certain whether it's a browser rendering issue since you can get back the report as a byte array and save it to disk as Word, PDF, etc.

ReportParameterValueNotSetException in SSRS subscription

I am not getting this error locally in VS 2005
or when running the report through the preview
but during subscription I start getting
ReportParameterValueNotSetException
even though all my parameters especially the one it's complaining about is set
this has started happening all of a sudden and has been working great before.
Any ideas why this might have happened
You could try deploying the report with a different name and see if subscriptions for it have the same problem. If it does not, then blame cosmic rays. It happens. In that case, delete the old report entirely from the server and then you should be able to deploy with the original name again.
If it continues to happen, then I'd start looking at what's different between running it live and running it through a subscription. Usually it's permissions related. Or perhaps the time of day the subscription fires off vs the time of day you test it live.
Is the parameter value used for the subscription hard coded, or is it based on another query?
If the latter
- does the query used for this param gen purpose work?
- does it return the correct datatype/expected data?
- does it work at the time you are running the report (database is online, has permissions set correctly)?
