IIS 7.0 Role Service SSRS Requirements

Using the default IIS 7.0 installation on Windows Server 2008 does not include all of the role services necessary to install SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. I found this command in an online forum when looking for a list of all the needed role services. (By the way, I apologize, but I can no longer find the post to link back to. If it was you who wrote it, please post a comment with a link back to that post!)

Here is the command. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me!

ServerManagerCmd.exe -i Web-Server Web-Asp-Net Web-Http-Redirect Web-Windows-Auth Web-Metabase Web-WMI

Version: SQL Server 2005

Reporting Services 2008 Configuration Mistake

To start working with the management side of SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, I decided to set up a report server and report manager. Unfortunately, I made a mistake while setting up my configuration that left me a little perplexed. Here are the steps I took to cause, track down, and solve the issue. Problem: I began by opening the Reporting Services Configuration Manager from the Start Menu. I clicked through each of the menu options and accepted the defaults for any question with a warning symbol, since warning symbol typically designate an action item. After two minutes, all of the warning symbols had disappeared, and I was ready to begin managing my report server. Unfortunately, opening up a browser and trying to open up the report manager resulted in the dreaded " The report server has encountered a configuration error. (rsServerConfigurationError) " message. Sherlock-ing it: I put on my sleuthing hat and went to the log file directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft...

Manipulating Excel Spreadsheets in SSIS

Tom, an attendee at last weekend’s SQLSaturday Olympia , asked me how to refresh a spreadsheet from within SQL Server Integration Services. My first thought was to turn on the connection’s “Refresh data when opening the file” option in the spreadsheet itself and avoid the situation entirely; however, this may not always be a viable solution. Here are the steps to perform the refresh from within an SSIS package. First, ensure that Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel is registered in the GAC. If not, install the 2007 Microsoft Office system Primary Interop Assemblies . This will need to be done on any machine where you plan on running this package. Next, create a script task in your SSIS package that contains the following code (include your spreadsheet name): Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel Public Class ScriptMain Public Sub Main() Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success Dim excel...

Display Top N Rows

In SQL Server Reporting Services, you can dynamically limit the number of rows that are displayed in a table or a matrix. Here are the steps to create a sample report showing this. 1. Create a DataSource connecting to the AdventureWorksDW database and a DataSet with the following query: SELECT DimEmployee.FirstName, DimEmployee.LastName, SUM(FactResellerSales.SalesAmount) AS SalesAmount FROM DimEmployee INNER JOIN FactResellerSales ON DimEmployee.EmployeeKey = FactResellerSales.EmployeeKey WHERE (FactResellerSales.OrderDateKey = 20011001) GROUP BY DimEmployee.FirstName, DimEmployee.LastName 2. Add a report parameter named “NumberPpl” of data type integer. 3. Add a table to the body of the report with the data fields of firstName, lastName, and salesAmount. Sort by the column salesAmount from ‘Z to A’. 4. Set the Filters option of the table as shown below. (This is where the real work is happening!) 5. Preview the report, modifying the value for the parameter NumberPpl to see the number...
