describe OK- select not

Hello,
I am connecting to SQLserver via an application running on linux.
Under the hood it does a describe which brings back the field types
for any table OK.
a select always fails (no data returned) however. I am troubleshooting
this remotely and have asked the MSSQL dba to run a select with the
same user id/password that I use on the client - this succeeds.
There is a firewall between client and db, but I guess this is OK cos
the describe succeeds.
Anything I can ask the dba to do or check to help diagnose the
problem? Does it follow that if userid is good for selects on MS box
it will be good for remote queries?
TIA
TonTry connecting to the DB remotely via Query Analyzer. I know you are on
Linux , so can you see if you can connect from a Windows, with the
username/password and run the SELECT . Does it return results?

Thanks for that Query Analyzer works well with userid/password
So does linux commandline tool tsql which allows me to pull back the
data with a "select * from tablename" - it just needs the !P port
username and password to logon.
This works fine.
However the application I am dealing with does not bring the data back
<sigh>
I am not sure how tsql gets the data without a databasename ie i would
have expected "select * from tablename" to fail and a select * from
databasename.tablename to succeed - perhaps cos of my Oracle
experience.
The application that is failing needs the database name before it will
log on OK. but "select * from tablename" generates a syntax error near
FROM - and so does a "select * from databasename.tablename"|||Ton,
sql server's specification of table in a select statement can have up to
four parts. In addition to the name itself, you can have / may need three
qualifiers:
select column_list from server_name.database_name.schema_name.table_name.
It is recommended if you are in the database where the table is located, you
use the schema_name (also know as owner) to qualify the table. If you are
not in the database where the table is, you need to add the database name
too, and then (better) specify the schema as well, which can be omitted if
it is dbo (such as mydb..mytalbe). If you are accessing a liked server, you
then also need to specify the server name.
In your case, if your default database is where the table is located, when
you establish the connection, you can directly run a select * from
tablename. But select * from databasename.tablename will never work unless
the databasename is the same as the schema name by accident, in which case
sql server considers you were doing a select * from schemaname.tablename.

Gosh just what I need to know - thanks very much!
I have an idea I am going to meet a few more problems along the way
tho.
Can I ask the MSSQL dba to capture incoming queries to help me with
troubleshooting BTW?|||yes, get them to run a Profiler trace - asking to then to filter just on
your DatabaseId and Database name.

Descending RunningValue?

Currently I'm using this expression in a matrix to provide a running
total of sales by month. Is there a way to reverse this so that it
counts down to zero rather than adding each month together? Here's the
expression as is:
=IIF(InScope("matrix3_RowGroup1"),Sum(Fields!MonthAmount.Value),RunningValue(Fields!MonthAmount.Value,
Sum, "matrix3_RowGroup1"))
Can I reverse that, so that it shows the grand total minus the running
value?
Thanks in advance for any help.You could try the following expression:
=IIF(InScope("matrix3_RowGroup1"), Sum(Fields!MonthAmount.Value),
Sum(Fields!MonthAmount.Value) - RunningValue(Fields!MonthAmount.Value, Sum,
"matrix3_RowGroup1"))
Note: the third argument of the IIF function would get used if your not in
the scope of RowGroup1. Therefore, the Sum() function should calculate the
Sum of all cells of the entire RowGroup1 and you can just subtract the
RunningValue.

>|||Thanks for the suggestion, Robert. Unfortunately, that subtracted the
runningvalue from the sum for that month only. Below is an example rdl
with first just the sum, then your suggestion, based on the pubs db.
Is there a way to reference the entire sum rather than just the
monthly?

Deregistering the SPN after installing SP1

I'm running the evaluation software on a development machine running XP and everything was fine until I installed SP1. Now I can't get services to run, and the error log displays:

"The SQL Network Interface library could not deregister the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x2098. Administrator should deregister this SPN manually to avoid client authentication errors."

Looking through previous questions, I see similar issues where the SPN needs to be deregistered, but my problem looks different; I can't even load services on local only. I'm downloading the SP2 from November, but thought I'd see if anyone else is/has had similar issues.

This is what Microsoft says about SP1:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/1/bd1e0745-0e65-43a5-ac6a-f6173f58d80e/ReadmeSQL2005SP1.htm#_1463_uninstalling_sql_server_2005_sp1_fzpy

So unfortunately you can't remove SP1, you have to reinstall.

|||

Mm... I was hoping someone had seen the issue and had a less drastic fix, but if that's the only way, I guess it'll have to do. Just wish I could get the local up and running so I could script out my tables and sp's, etc.

Thanks just the same

Deployment Version Problem

We are trying to deploy a report server project from an XP Dev box to a
Server2003 production environment.
Both computers are running SQL Server 2005 with SP1 installed.
We have tried to deploy by (1) a deploy over the network and (2) a database
backup of the ReportServer database and then a restore to the Server 2003
system.
Both methods give us exactly the same error...
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not
valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'Unknown'. The expected
version is 'C.0.8.43'. To continue, update the version of the report server
database and verify access rights.
Why are we getting this error?
Regards,
GaryHi Gary,
Thank you for your posting!
Based on my research and experience, I think you need to reinstall the SP1
on the Server 2003 box.
Please let me know if you get any error message when you reinstall the SP1.
You could send the setup error log to me if you get any error. By default,
the error log file folder is C:\WINDOWS\Hotfix
Please let me know the result. Thank you!

It turned out that [apparently] the person who installed sp1 was not a
"member of the SQL Server Administrators Group" and when we followed the
recommeded fix in configuration manager the problem went away.
A mystery that remains for me is that I can't find a "SQL Server
Administrators Group". Do you know exactly what that is? Is it a user with
sysadmin privlidges?

Thank you for the update and glad to hear the issue has been resolved.
I think the SQL Server Administrators Group means the SQL Server sysadmin
group. Members of the sysadmin fixed server role can perform any activity
in the server. By default, all members of the Windows
BUILTIN\Administrators group, the local administrator's group, are members
of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Deployment Security Problem

Hi,
I am trying to deploy my reports to a new server running reporting
services w/ SQL Server 2000 on the local machine. The ReportServer web site
has anonymous access NOT checked and Windows Integration selected. I'm
logged onto my machine with my domain account and when I try to deploy my
reports in VS 2003 I get "The underlying connection was closed: Could not
establish trust relationship with remote server." I do NOT have "Require
SSL" turned on and I know it has something to do with the way my credentials
are being passed (or not passed). If I turn on the option to allow
anonymous access to the reportserver site then I get a message that my
IUSR_<machinename> has insufficient privleges to perform the actions, which
is fine I don't want anonymous access on anyway.
How do I resolve deploying reports to the report server with my domain
account? I used the same domain account to install SQL Server and Reporting
Services and I am a local administrator on the server.
Thanks, ChrisIn addition to what I've discovered...
I can take the same URL I'm using for the TargetServerURL property and
browse to the report server. I get a pop-up dialog box to input my
credentials and I'm authenticated fine. Based on Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - 842517 it would seem that the login dialog box should appear, but
it doesn't and just the error "Could not
> establish trust relationship with remote server." appears. The local
administrators are "content managers" for reporting services and I am a
member of that group, though I don't think the deployment process is making
it that far.

Deployment question: SQLDB - SSIS on different boxes with SQL Agent for scheduling

I am interested in how you guys are deploying your packages.
I am running SQL Server Integration Service(SSIS) and SQL Server Database Service (SQLDB) on different boxes. I can't have SSIS installed on SQLDB box because in my prod. environment, the DB box has *just* DB - no services or no other fancy stuff. So far so good.

Now, if I want to schedule the SSIS packages (deployed on MSDB) to run periodically, I need to create an SQL Agent job (or everyone else here is using a Windows scheduler instead?). SQL Agent has dependency on SQLDB and so it goes on the SQLDB box, correct? Can I run job steps to execute SSIS packages via remote SSIS service (on another box)? If not, I cannot separate SSIS and SQLDB on two boxes and have SQL Agent run the packages periodically, right?

What am I missing?

thanks,
Nitesh

Is there a reason you cannot install DB on the IS box? That would be best for your case as I understand it. You could also keep your packages on your IS box then as well.

To answer your question, there is no current IS feature for running packages remotely. Please see this thread:

There are two reasons:

Hard Reason --> Our production environment does not allow to install *ANYTHING* on the box that runs the database (i.e. SQL DB). This was the main reason we were not using DTS.

Soft Reason --> For deployment, we would like to have separate tiers for DB, app server components (i.e. SS*S), and presentation components (SPS etc). One may argue that SSIS is a component at DB tier and its scaling, clustering etc will be dependent on the DB tier.

I guess I did not put the question correctly.
What I want to know is if I can configure SQL Agent running on machineA to execute SSIS packages using the SSIS Service running on machineB. Note that machineA does not have SSIS Service running (only machineB). The packages themselves can be stored locally on machineB, if needed (but I am hopeful that it should not be an issue and msdb of machineA should work just fine).
Thanks,
Nitesh

If a process on machineA calls a package, then it will run a A, so you need IS installed on A. You can load the package from B or wherever, but the package runs on the same machine as the process which called it and hosts it. You would need a layer of abstraction, which is not currently available in IS itself, that is really remote execution.

Simplest method is to have SQLAgent on B, and call the job, since this is just saying start a job, which means the process runs on B.

</quote>

The problem with having SQLAgent on B is that I will need to have SQLDB also on B (because SQLAgent has a dependency on SQLDB). This defeats the original plan of having SQLDB on machine A and SSIS on machine B separately.|||In my opinion it is the simplest, but not the only way. You can do any form of remote call, such that the server/listener on the remote machine hosts the SSIS process.

You can use any scheduler you like, it is just that SQL Agent can easily be controlled remotely, through T-SQL which most of us are quite happy with already.

I don't see what the issue is with having another SQL instance on the SSIS machine, after all would it not be nice to have a local working store, in fact don't some tasks want a SQL store, and therefore having it locally makes much more sense. I think your network costs could get excessive, just for the sake of keeping things separate. By all means keep server A clean, and have your main data there, but what is the harm in having SQL on server B as well. You like to have separate tiers, but is it so strict you cannot mix applications, should it not be functions really, in which case where is the issue? Having a no SQL and IS on the same machine at all, regardless of the use of SQL seems rather artificial and just making life hard for the sake of it. Offloading IS onto a separate machine makes sens as well for large volumes, to reduce impact on your main production SQL server, but I woudl argue that the IS box should be the controller of the IS based processes, and not the other way around.

Saying all that remote execution would be cool to have too.|||

I would love to use SQL Agent. Since it has a dependency on SQLDB, I cannot have it on SSIS box. If SQL Agent could invoke SSIS remotely, I would have take n that.

Issue is simple - it won't be supported by our database group. Our DB group controlls all the DB instances, and they have nothing at all on those boxes which they support. So, SQLDB on SSIS box won't be supported. I don't want to get calls in the middle of the night for that and neither do I want to start doing backups, maintenance etc.

DarrenSQLIS wrote:

I know lot many enterprises that enforce such policy of having clean DB boxes.
I thought that network costs for such configurations will not adversely impact performance too much. Am I wrong?

Bottomline is -> It is not important what I could do to get around the issue, it is more important that the product should be deployable in a layered/tiered fashion on separate boxes with support for scheduling packages on whatever is the preferred scheduling mechanism (i.e. SQLAgent). Please understand that there exist network deployment scenarios in enterprises that might not work with having a side-kick SQLDB instance on SSIS box.

Thanks for your suggestions though.

Somewhat of a retorical question or point, but if your DB group does not understand SSIS then they should not allow you to use it. Your use of it could adversely impact the avilability of the pure SQL systems, I would never allow any system to interact with my SQL systems that could have such an impact unless I had sufficient understanding of it. If they did understand it, then what is the problem :) This is my personal point, so no response required, but it seems an artificial rule.

Nitesh Ambastha wrote:

I was trying to highlight the time and bandwidth costs. The further away from your data your SSIS is, the slower it will be, although you could solve some of that by spending money on faster links. So for large amounts of data processing it could have an impact since you will be running across the two machines.

Nitesh Ambastha wrote:

...for scheduling packages on whatever is the preferred scheduling mechanism (i.e. SQLAgent).

SQL Agent is my preferred scheduler, and maybe yours too, but many organisations have their own standards. Many houses use IBM/Tivoli for example, and SQLAgent is not required for SSIS. If you would prefer to use it, then yes you are stuck. I think buyng SQL Server for SQLAgent is an overkill, but if you look at that SQL Instance in the same way as you look at MSDE, then it is no big deal. There are plenty of proucts our there that install DB engines. I saw a report that said Informix (I think that was the one) was one of the most widely deployed DBs, and that is because CA shoved it under the covers of ArcServe backup, probably for the scheduling :)

Deployment issues

I have a asp.net application that calls a DTS package. This application is running fine on my machine (where SQL Server and Web Server are running). When I moved the application to a Web Server, I am getting the following error due to the DTS package.

COM object with CLSID {10020200-EB1C-11CF-AE6E-00AA004A34D5} is either not valid or not registered.

In my Bin folder, I do have the reference to the Interop.DTS.dll. The web server admin tells me that the dtsffile.dll, dtspkg.dll, dtspump.dll and axscphst.dll are registered onto the web server.

Hello,

Just an update on this issue.
Basically, I have never been able to manage to sort this one out, despite viewing many articles on the net.

However, I just want to share one option to overcome this problem.

You can invoke your DTS package through a JOB using SP_START_JOB stored proc. This SP Instructs SQL Server Agent to execute a job immediately. This would do the job of executing the package!!! Of course, you will need the right to run the job.

Hope this helps.

We are trying to deploy a report server project from an XP Dev box to a Server2003 production environment.

Both computers are running SQL Server 2005 with SP1 installed.

We have tried to deploy by (1) a deploy over the network and (2) a database backup of the ReportServer database and then a restore to the Server 2003 system.

Both methods give us exactly the same error...

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'Unknown'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.43'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights.

Why are we getting this error?

Regards,

Gary

Reporting Services data is encrypted. Did you backup and restore the symetric key from the old to the new system ? Otherwiese the information from the report database like report definitions can′t be read.

Deploying System DSN to Multiple PCs

Is there any way to deploy System DSNs to multiple PCs?
I'm in a windows xp client environment with sql server 2000 running on a
windows server 200 box.
Thanks for any help.
System DSNs are stored in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI. Try exporting the registry node
for the data source and run it on another computer to see if it works.

|||Thanks for replying but that didn't work. I was thinking maybe there might
be a way to create a vbscript to create the system dsns.

Deploying RS server components on server without MSSQL

For the application I need to integrate RS with, I have a physical server
running MSSQL 2000 SP3a Standard Edition and another physical server that
runs my web apps. Both servers are running windows 2000 SP2. We do not want
to install RS server components on the db server itself because we want it to
remain a dedicated database server.
So, we want to host the Report Server database on the db physical server and
run all of the RS server components on the application physical server.
Yet when I try to install RS on my application server, I get the following
message in the install 'System Prerequisite Check': 'This edition of
Reporting Services does not support installing the server components on this
operating system'. What does this mean? How can I get around it?
-kind regards, Brian ParkerThe issue is not the database. RS is designed to run this way (note that you
need to have another SQL Server license if RS is on another server than
where the DB resides but that is a licensing issue). The issue is the OS.
Here is a link on the prereqs:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/productinfo/sysreqs.asp
a.. Windows® 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 (SP4) or later
a.. Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 or later1
I wasn't sure if you had server or professional. If server then it needs
SP4. If professional then this additional info holds:
Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional only support Reporting
Services Developer Edition
So, one of those two things is what is happening.

deploying reports from vs2005 issue

I'm trying to deploy reports to development server that is running
mssql 2000 and a named instance of mssql 2005 but when I deploy I'm
running into authentication issues. From some articles I'm finding
that this can occur when using SSRS in mssql2000. Do I need to modify
the deployment path in visual studio to some how point to the named
mssql 2005 database, if so how? Also where do I find the
configuration in vs2005 to not overwrite the datasources when a report
is deployed?
Thanks,
JeffWhen you setup for deployment you give it the web address. If your report
server is working that is all you should need to do. For instance it would
look like this for TargetServerURL: http://yourserver/ReportServer
Now, to be able to deploy you need to have the rights to do so. This is
Reporting Services rights. It has nothing to do with SQL Server DB rights.
Can you run reports? First make sure of that.
If your domain account is in the local administrators group on the server
then you will automatically have all the rights you need. Again, this is
around your windows account, not your SQL Server access rights.
Also, the default in vs2005 is to NOT overwrite a datasource. Right mouse
click on the project, properties. This is where you set the targetserverurl
and also the overwritedatasources (which you want to be false).

Deployed reports have javascript errors?

Hello-

I have developed a number of reports on Win XP with VS2005. They run on our development server, which is running Windows Server 2003 32-bit. I then deploy these reports on our production server, which is running Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition.

Accessing any of the reports from Report Manager results in javascript errors, such as 'Line 41 Error: 'RSClientController' is undefined'

I get these errors also when invoking these reports through a form post.

It appears that some javascript code generated by the report server is missing. Could this be a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue? Report Manager seems to work fine; it is only when I run a report that I have this problem. This is the first time I've tried to deploy reports to this server.

Thanks.Solution!

The problem is the .axd file extention which is generated by the sql server on the fly when one tries to run a report.

There is an IIS setting that needs to be changed. Open IIS and go to the properties of the Reports website. Under the directory tab, click on the Configuration button. Find the .axd extension in the Mappings tab and double-click to get to its properties. Uncheck the 'Check that file exists' option, save, and that is it.

This is a known issue and MS hasn't yet written a KB article for it.|||Excellent analysis. This solved my problem with reports and the WebResource.axd file.|||

What if I'm having the same "'RSClientController' is undefined" issue, but when I go to the .axd extension properties, "verify that file exists" is already unchecked?

This is on a clean install of SQL 2k5 on Server 2k3 SP1.

Thanks.

|||

On IIS v 6.0, on the Virtual Directory tab of the ReportServer, I chose configuration, then on the mappings tab I needed to edit the Wildcard application to uncheck the box to "verify file exists"

Thanks again;)

|||Anyone found a solution for this ?|||

If you website is using forms authentication, you have to grant access to authenticated users to Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd.

After I added the following location entry in my web.config file I no longer received "RSClient Controller is not defined messages".

<location path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd">

Deploy successful, but updated report not showing...

Using VS2005 to deploy an updated report on a machine running SQL 2005
Reporting Services.
VS states that the deployment was successful, but the old version of the
report is what's getting run.
Can't reset the Default Website on that machine as it's running the web
services behind our application.
What have I missed?

Try deleting the report and re-deploying it. It worked for me.

Deploy / process cube

Hi

When I deploy and process my cube in analysis services the server just runs and runs.

Several hours later it is still running - I am pretty sure that it hangs.

The cube is based on tables which max. have 2000 rows so it is not a large cube.

I have verified that it deploys to the correct server instance.

Can anyone give some advice?

Regards,

Dennis

Do you know what part of the processing it hands on (specific dimension, measure group, partition, etc.)? If the SSAS solution is based on a SQL Server database, can you run Profiler and monitor the queries that are being generated by SSAS and submitted to SQL Server?
