External web service as datasource for Reporting Service report
I would like to make some Reporting Services reports from a datasource
that is a web service. Is this possible? I am using SSRS 2005. Any
suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated.
photogulliverIt is possible but I haven't done it. Read up in Books On Line on XML.

>|||Yes. it is possible.
however, there are serious limitations on this approach. see other
postings in this group by me and Teo's responses to my postings.
1. the XML returned by the web service may not be readily consumable by
SSRS.
2. the query syntax to consume the XML is xpath like, but it is neither
xpath not xquery
3. security is a big concern. webservices consumption is non-secure
however, you can write your own custom data processing extension which
can overcome the above limitations.

External scheduler for reports
Because of some usability terms, I need to use SSRS scheduler to determine reports creation frequency (minimum frequency is once a day)I need to use an external scheduler to SSRS in order to launch reports creation daily, after some other batch tasks execution that must be completed before launching report creation.
And I have no idea on how to do that properly. Can somebody help me?
Thanks!
Hi,
Reporting Services has scheduling functionality included by default. You can use both report based schedules as global schedules to update your reports.
To use schedules, you must make sure that your reports are using fixed credentials to connect to the database (so no integrated security).
You can set up the schedules via the report manager.

|||Thanks for the answer.I think I expressed myself in a bad way.
Creating my reports needs some batch tasks to be completed. These batch tasks are planed by a company scheduler.
So, my problem is that I want to be able to change report creation time (e.g. from 2am to 3 or 4am) with this company scheduler to ensure that all batch tasks had been totally completed before report creation starts.|||
Hi,
You can also create a .NET executable that creates the snapshot and then call the executable after the batch has been finished. This way you are sure that the batches are finished.

extending function: view dependencies
So I have a number of separate databases on my SQL 2005 Server.
I also have a number of Reports in SSRS.
Many of the stored procedures in the various databases reference tables, functions, and stored procedures in other databases on the same server.
How can I accomplish the effect of right clicking on a stored procedure for instance, clicking view dependencies, and having everything show up in that list, not just the items in that DB?
It is all stored in the database in one form or another, but I must be missing some crucial piece to integrating it all together.
Note: I did not design this system, just maintaining and modifying existing items. There are no schemas to speak of. SSRS will most likely move to a dedicated server at one point with other data warehousing functions, so the ability to span servers would be useful.
Thanks!
Matt
Mhmm, I think this is not possible unless you parse the procedue on your own. There are no entries for dependencies in the system tables created for non-db-local objects. Additionally you can′t use schemabinding for maintainance as schemabinding applies only to two part names.

|||Are there any third party tools that would combine all this information into an enterprise version of "view dependencies"?thanks|||
Hi,
Jens is correct. There is a lot of confusion about "sysdepends", so we've added a new section explaining SQL dependencies in a web refresh section of the BOL. Please read:
SQL Server 2005 Books Online

Expression Problem - GrandTotal
In my SSRS 2005 report I have a column in my table that I cannot get a SUM in my table footer (I'm not referring to report footer!!) due to the way it is calculated. Here's the low down:
I will focus just on the columns in my table unique to this problem. Remember, I'm using a Table Control in SSRS 2005, not just a Body section!!!
In my table I have:
Commission % ProjGross ProjFee
.25 1000 ProjGross * Commission %
.50 2000 ProjGross * Commission %
.7 3000 ProjGross * Commission %
...
ProjFee = ProjGross x Comission %
the values above are in a Group. The column's group values render fine and are correct using this formula in my ProjFee's group textbox:
=(Round((((SUM(Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value)) / Sum(Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value, "Current_Posting_Day")) * (Sum(Fields!TotalPostingDays.Value, "TotalPostingDays") - Sum(Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value, "Current_Posting_Day"))) +
(SUM(Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value) + SUM(Fields!OldPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!OldCCs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value)))) * (Fields!FeeSchedule.Value / 100)
So, now for the problem. I cannot just create an expression in my table footer like the one this below because it would only take the first commission %25 and wouldn't represent a true some of the column ProjFee. YOu can't total up Commission % or you'd get a wacky % somthing like 500%!
=ProjGross * Commsion %
I don't want to do this totaling in SQL first either...and can't; there's a lot more behind this calculation which is why and the SQL would be horrendous. I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna handle the Commission % in my table footer Total for this column.
Since I cannot just reference the Group column's name in my footer and do a SUM on that field (it's out of scope) I don't know what else to try
check this out:
http://www.photopizzaz.biz/footersum.jpg
http://www.photopizzaz.biz/footersum2.jpg
http://www.photopizzaz.biz/footersum3.jpg
All I want to do is get my Footer GT to work. The formulas I have in both the group field and footer field for ProjGross are as follows:
Group:
=(Round((((SUM(Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value)) / Sum(Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value, "Current_Posting_Day")) * (Sum(Fields!TotalPostingDays.Value, "TotalPostingDays") - Sum(Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value, "Current_Posting_Day"))) +
(SUM(Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value) + SUM(Fields!OldPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!OldCCs_Check.Value) + SUM(Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value)))) * (Fields!FeeSchedule.Value / 100)
Footer (right under group)
=sum((((Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value + Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value + Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value) / Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value)
* (Fields!TotalPostingDays.Value - Fields!CurrentPostingDay.Value)
+ (Fields!PostedAmount_InHouse.Value + Fields!OldPDs_Check.Value + Fields!NewPDs_Check.Value + Fields!OldCCs_Check.Value + Fields!NewCCs_Check.Value))
* (Fields!FeeSchedule.Value)) / 100
I’ve played around with moving the SUM in the Footer field since that works sometimes but no luck so far. If I could only refrence the Group field and just do SUM(groupfieldname) but that’s something I have asked and nobody seems to know why you can’t do that in a SSRS 2005 table when you’re trying to do that in a Footer field to sum a Group field by referencing the Group field’s label name. SSRS 2005 gives you an error when you try doing that saying that you must stay in scope when referencing names and you can’t reference a Group name forma footer textbox in a table. That would sure make my life easier than trying to fiddle around with the SUM I have in my footer textbox to try to get it to work
|||am I just not explaining myself or is SSRS 2005 ending up to be just like Crystal where you have to figure out quirky ways to get things done? The fact of the matter is, I can't simply do a sum on a column by referencing a group's textbox name from the table footer expression. If you are dealing with very complex expressions and you m ust only use an expression and cannot reference a group field directly from the footer, you are left with what I have tried to do above...which is a nightmare because my GT is not coming out and I don't know if it can because of the Commission % (Feesched) being a % and you can's sum a % in the footer like this for an overall GT
Expression help needed with filtering
I have a fcolum in my ssrs report that give me $ amounts. the problem is I only want to see the the fields that have $.01 dollars or greater it is now showing blanks and $0.00 in some of the fields I need tofilter this out in the expression statement can some on help me with this.
example
john doe | $102.00 | ( I need to keep this )
Jane doe | | ( I dont want this to show) This just shows a blank
Mark Doe | $0.00 | ( I dont want this to show)
Bill Doe | $200.00 | ( I want this)
my expression =FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value)
What do you want to show if the value is 0? Do the FormatCurrency only if the value is > 0. Something like this:
=IIF(convert.todecimal(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value), '')
|||
I tried the expression but it is erroring sayin g it doesnt like the todecimal I get it underlined in red this is what I have.
IIF(convert.todecimal(FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value))
I t underlining the todecimal in red it there what do I do
|||IIF(convert.todecimal(FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value))
IIF(CDec(FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCVAMOUNT.Value)) I tried this also butr it doesnt work can some on help me.
|||Yeah Reporting Services is weird. Try this:
=IIF(CDec(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value), '')
|||I tried the below but I keep getting error the , ") at the end highlight in red. I have tried removing the ," and just leaving )) this doesnt work either. any suggestions.
=IIF(CDec(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value) > 0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value), '')
|||What do you want to show if the value is blank? It this good:
= IIF(CDec(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value)>0, FormatCurrency(Fields!MASRCAMOUNT.Value), FormatCurrency(CDec(0)))

Expression as Hyperlink
expression that results in a URL that I use for a hyperlink in a report, it
works in Visual Studio but not in report viewer. If I use a static URL it
works fine.
Upon inspection of the source that is returned by SSRS when using an
expression for the URL, it doen's even add the <a href=> tag to the resulting
HTML. It is as if SSRS won't process an expression for a hyperlink but
Visual Studio's preview will. How am I supposed to have dynamic hyperlinks
in my reports? Any ideas?Are you using jump to URL? I use an expression all the time in there but not
with Sharepoint.

This solved my problem. I still don't know why the expression by itself
doesn't produce a hyperlink but this appears to trick SSRS into rendering it.

I did the same thing but getting the following error :
"Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error".
The only difference is that we have a popup window that opens a server
report in PDF format using URL access and within this report there are
hyperlinks to webpages.On clicking the hyperlinks from within the report we
get the following error :
"Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error".
we have used javascript in the jump to URL expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://hostname/p/proj/project.aspx?uid=" +
Trim(Cstr(Fields!ProjectUID.Value)) + "','_blank','location=no,toolbar=no'))"
Can you guide me on this?

I'm using IE 7.0 on my dev machine.It works fine when the hyperlink within
the report is invoked directly from report viewer on
http://hostname/reportserver but hyperlink invokation fails when we make URL
request to the pdf via
http://domainName/ReportServer?rs:format=PDF&rs:report=/MyReports/MyReportName
Kindly advice.

="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com/','_blank'))"
You get "Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error"?
If you are trying this from the development environment it won't work. You
have to deploy to test jump to URL.

html report. That is working for you. The issue is having the link work from
a PDF. I tried some tests from PDF and Excel. Excel usually had no problem.
PDF would flash and nothing would come up.
I also tried the link without using the javascript command. That would be
erratic, sometimes working sometimes not. I think some sort of security
setting is getting in the way.
