I'm trying to display an external image within a SSRS 2005 report, however I can't accomplish that. I've tried a lot of things but they just don't work.
I have a table in my report that displays a dynamic image based on code, I thought the error was in the code however it wasn't because I can see the image in BIDS, however when I try to display it on the report server or within an ASP.NET webpage it doesn't show up.
My Code is as follows:
Function ShowImage(value as Object) As String
Dim strImg as String
If value < 0
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-green-icon.png"
ElseIf value > 0
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-red-icon.png"
Else
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-yellow-icon.png"
End If
Return strImg End Function
The value in my image control is as follows:
=Code.ShowImage(Fields!Diferencia_Entre_Importes.Value)
When I see the preview in BIDS it shows up the way it's supposed to be, but it doesn't happen in the report server.
As you see the images don't need any kind of authentication, besides that, I tried configuring the Execution Account with the same result (I just get a horrible X instead of the image)
I also tried setting the image's value as
http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-green-icon.png
But had no success, also I tried using an image in the server in this way:
file:ImagePath
And had the same problem, using all of these solutions I can see the image in BIDS, but not in the Report Server.
Thank you very much
I suspect this is caused by an internet access issue on the account on the server running the SSRS report. Whether it is or not, I recommend saving those .png files locally on the server, and modifying the code accordingly - it should improve report performance as well as getting rid of this issue.

Dears,
I am quite new with Report Builder, and also with SSRS so sorry in advance if I raise irrelevant questions. My goal, essentially, is to deploy a sort of SQL Monitoring dashboard (I just uploaded a demo picture of it, here the link 1 ), that is composed by a main report with some charts and toggled sub reports. All these sub reports are filtered by the SQL instance name, and other parameters like number of monitoring days, months etc...
Plus I make use only of shared datasets.
Now, if I deploy the whole solution with Visual Studio against my report server, it works perfectly and all the report parts are uploaded without any issue against the report site.
If I try to deploy the report using the report website manager (by trying to upload the whole solution file by file), it does not upload anything, even if I create first the data source and then trying to add the existing datasets.
If I try to deploy the solution with Report Builder (after having giving to it the target report server URL and an existing folder that starts with slash), the only option I have is to open the solution as file, and save it against the target report server configured. But then the annoying error appears even if I the path has less than 260 char and even if the path starts with the slash:
"Error: The path of the dataset "" is not valid. The full path must be
less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report
server is in native mode, the path must start with slash.
(rsInvalidItemPath)"
What am I doing wrong? I thought that a tool like that, used also for publishing, would make the life easier, but apparently I may not know exactly how to use it.
I developed a DB with MS Access 2013.
I want to printout one report which include 3 subreports (subrA, subrB, subrC) Sometimes #error appears in the PDF (on subrA). It is always on the same textbox.
What is weird is that I always display the report (as preview) and no error appears.
Then I launch PDF printing and sometimes (not always???) I get the error (after error happening in PDF, I sometimes have error in report preview).
My tests :
I tried to printout with PDFcreator and DoCmd.OutputTo, same issue happens
I tried to replace the subrA (expecting a corrupt report) but I still get the error.
I expand the textbox to be sure that it large enough according to the content,
If I print all the reports in one time, I never get this issue
It seems to be lack of refresh issue, as if Access do not have time (sometimes) to format the data in the subreport before printing.
Do you have any idea to support me or any idea of what happens ?
Thanks a lot.
Additional information (added the 2018/01/22)
All the data in SUBR_A come from a query. The data code in error is :
SomDom("QtyCalculeIngredient_UProd";"qryProduction_OFDetailsIngredients";"IdProduction=" & [IdProduction] & " AND Ordre<=" & [Ordre])
This call is perhaps to long to perform and this must explain why #error happens sometimes. Do you have any ideas to reduce the request time ?
A domain function (here DSum()) in the Details section can be problematic.
In your case it seems that you could easily replace that by using the RunningSum property, see:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/summing-in-reports-ad4e310d-64e9-4699-8d33-b8ae9639fbf4#bmrunningsum
Thanks for the support. By the way, I was searching for a workaround on myself and I change the DSUM() by a RunningSum before our post your answer,
Of course, it works very well. Thanks for the tips !!!
I'm trying to run an SSRS report on the server which takes a parameter as input. When I enter input in the textbox it displays the result. Also works fine in the visual studio BIDS.
But, I want to pass parameter in the URL and see the report result which is not working.
I have seen solutions to other similar SO posts SSRS passing Report Parameters
which mentioned checking the dataset parameters properties.
My parameter name is #TestId and value is set to =Parameters!TestId.Value
So, it is correct as suggested in the solution.
Now I try o access my report using URL patterns as below
Just giving parameter and value
http://testssrs14/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fTest%2fTestReport%2fTest+Report&TestId=1234
using command = render
http://testssrs/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fTest%2fTestReport%2fTest+Report&rs:Command=Render&TestId=1234
when I hit enter it doesn't throw any error in both cases but just shows a blank page instead of the result of the report. Is there anything I'm missing?
Please use this URL instead and try
http://testssrs14/ReportServer/
And navigate to the report that you're looking for.
When you get to the report page, then pass the parameter value.
&<Parameter Name> = <value>
In your case
&TestId=1234
Add this at the end of the URL.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.
Based on your comments, Here's some detail.. though I guess it must be figured out as of now..
Here goes the report server:
and below goes the Report Manager..
and in VS Data Tools or BIDS, the same is set as in Projects->Properties below
So, you got to try your URL parameters in ReportServer, not in Report Manager.
What you had been accessing so far is Report Manager..
Hope it makes some sense, now : ) ,
Thus, your link should be something like http://testssrs14/Reportserver/..
This link is also a good source!
I've created an SSRS report in Report Builder 3 which contains a single-rowed Tablix that holds a sub report which produces a single report per page. The problem is that when I run the report it doesn't render the first page.
Within Report Builder I can never get this first page to display within the executed report and within the web forms ReportViewer control (v10.0.0.0) I can get this first page to appear when I page away and then back to it. Exporting the report also displays all of the correct data.
This issue has only started occurring since I made some slight changes to the layout of the sub report. I've checked the visibility on the tablix, group, row, sub report and all the other settings that I thought might be responsible, but they haven't changed since it was previously working.
I've also tried recreating both the tablix and the entire outer report based on an answer to a similar question and this didn't make a difference.
Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.
I was passing the data for my sub reports through as parameters to prevent the need to call 5000+ single line select statements, and it looks like they need a data set to execute to render correctly on the initial load. Previously, I had mistakenly left a data set within the report, which I must have removed when making the layout changes.
Creating a dummy data set with SELECT ' ' AS Dummy and then using that to populate a text box seemingly fixed the issue. It's not a clean solution but it works.
My problem is with the reporting services for sql2008:
-I add a parameter to an already established report, where I get the names of certain people. RespStep, and it shows on the preview. But when I upload it to the server, it wontshow:
It pretends it´s loading for less than a second and then the report stays in blank.
NOTES:
This behavior happends only when I set the parameter to allow multiple value.
I thought it was a null problem, but the column from where the parameter values come has no nulls and still presents these problems.
I am desperate to know where the problem might be, on the server the data source and everything is well directed. Actually it shows no erros, just wont load anything and keep the page in blank.
just delete the report on server and re-depoly it.after that you can see the parameter in report
