error when trying to browse SSRS on a remote machine

Hi,

I deployed SSRS reports to my local report server and set the connection string to access a server on the network with Analysis Server.

Result:
I can access and use the reports from my computer. But when I use any other computer on the network I can't use the reports. I can access them but they don't find the database ant therefor they don't present any data.

Error message as folows: "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Cannot create a connection to data source 'dsAnalys'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) Get Online Help
Database 'Analys' does not exist. "

This works fine on my local machine, the error comes only when i try to browse on a remote machine. I am using SQL Server 2005

Any help would be appriciated!!!

Thanks in advance,

Chanduu

Can you access the database from a different PC using SQL Server Management Studio?

Possibly the server is not accessible from those PCs? Is it on a different domain?

|||yes, i am able to access|||

Chandu I am just trying to see what is causing this error.

1.) Do you have Shared Datasource in SSRS.

2.) While deploying to the remote server, make sure to include the right TargetServerUrl.

3.) On the Remote Server, go the Home folder and check for the DataSources if it has

a.) Enable this Data Source CheckBox checked.

b.) Connection string

c.) In the Connect Using: Check if the Credentials stored securely in the report server is Checked and the UserName and Password is given.

4.) Check for the permissions.

Hope this helps...

Error when passing GUID as Parameter

Hello - I am using SSRS 2005 and my report dataset has a parameter of type
GUID. In 2000 I could just pass this in as a string. I now get the error:
"Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid."
I've tried setting my Dataset parameter value as:
=Guid(Parameters!<my parameter>.Value)
and
=New Guid(Parameters!<my parameter>.Value)
and I've tried passing in my string with and without the {} braces around
the GUID string.
Anyone have the anwser here? Thank you.I have confirmed that this appears to be a bug. However, there is a
work-around:
The report in the VS report preview or when deployed will work properly with
a uniqueidentifier parameter when the value is being passed in as string. In
order to execute the dataset in your report project, temporarily modify your
stored procedure to accept the guid as a string and convert it to a
uniqueidentifier in your proc. When you execute it and get your dataset
fields to design your report, you can change it back to a uniqueidentifier
parameter.

Error when Exporting to Excel using SSRS 2003

Hi,

I have encountered an error when attempt to open a report which is exported to Excel using SSRS2003. It looks like this:

Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log

Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\TocsonEI\My Documents\Rigid\Reports\rptRigidTransactionSummaryReport3.xls'
The following is a list of repairs:

Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted.

At first I thought it was because of the sheer bulk of the report since when I break down a month's report to every 5 days, it would export without error. So I thought that if I can break a whole report into several worksheets using page break, it might work. Unfortunately, although I did succeed in exporting the whole report into several worksheets, I still encounter the same error. Now I have no idea on what the root of the error is. Note that the same report can be exported in other formats and can be opened without error. Except for a case when I tried opening the same report exported in XML using Excel, an error which might be related to the error above occurs which says that there's an invalid unicode character in the xml file.

Any help in determining the root of the problem and a solution to it?

Hope I can help again.

It sounds like you're hitting some of the barriers of Excel 2003. I'm trying to figure out why you have 65k + rows in a spreadsheet but I probably should not ask.

Here is a kb article that references a hotfix from ms. Are you using RS 2000? Try this or grab the latest service pack.
