Help with a query

≪ Previous: No subscriptions after Reporting Services migration?

I have a query I am having problems with and I could use some help. I am very new to VB and SQL so please bare with me. I need to query a table (LineEquipment) in this case and return all records on a given range. I also need to retrieve data from other tables which I may or may not have a matching join. For the report I am attempting to produce I need to list the All Line Equipment table records regardless if the have a join match or not. This query works for that at this point:

SELECT     PUB.LineEquipment.LineEq, PUB.LineEquipment.TTorRotary, PUB.LineEquipment.PriorInterface, PUB.LineEquipment.WiredInCO,
                      PUB.PlantStatus.StatusCode, PUB.LineEquipment.RCEWRID, PUB.SubEquipment.PhoneEqID
FROM         PUB.PlantStatus, { oj PUB.SubEquipment RIGHT OUTER JOIN
                      PUB.LineEquipment ON PUB.SubEquipment.LineEqID = PUB.LineEquipment.LineEqID }
WHERE     PUB.PlantStatus.StatusID = PUB.LineEquipment.StatusID AND (PUB.LineEquipment.RCEWRID = 1001001001004)
ORDER BY PUB.LineEquipment.LineEq

Now where things go wrong is when I add a join to a table called Phone, so I can list the phone number, joining by a field named PhoneEqID which is contained in the Sub Equipment table. Once I add the Phone table join, any Line Equipment records that don't match the join in the SubEquipment to Phone table no longer show in the query results but I want them to either way. I have been told that maybe a sub query may work but I have no idea if it would and what the syntax would be. Anyway I try in the query builder in VS2008 I can't get what I want.

Thanks

≪ Previous: How to change the color of text in a texbox using expression in ssrs

We are upgrading from SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2014 and I'm doing a proof of concept report using the Map control now available to us using SQL server data tools in VS 2012. The process to build a map isn't terribly well documented and I'm really struggling with how to centre it in a specific location so hoping for some help please!

My example report has two datasets:

1) "Spatial" this returns a varchar column with a list of UK Postcodes and a geometric column containing polygon outlines for each post code area.

2) "Sales" - this returns a varchar column with a list of post codes and a set of float columns with sales totals in that postcode for a given time period.

I've built a map which does the following:

Selected "spatial" as my source for spatial data
Added a bing maps layer
Set visualisation to Colour Analytical map
Choses "Sales" as the analytical dataset
Defined that the "PostCode" column in the "spatial" dataset matches to the "PostCode" column in the "sales" dataset

This produces a lovely map of the UK with all the post code areas colour coded according to sales value. However, I need to zoom the map in AND centre it on a specific post code, say this is postcode ABC1 1DE for example. When I open up "view port properties" I've tried selecting the "Center and Zoom" tab, then selecting "center map to show an embedded map element". I then chose layer = PolygonLayer1 (my spatial data layer) and I've set a condition "Centre on the map element matching this condition" "Name" = "ABC1 1DE".

However, this doesn't work and the map remains centered on the middle of the UK. The post code I'm trying definitely exists in both datasets so I'm a bit stumped. Anyone got any ideas please?

The logic is the following =iif(Fields!MILESTONE_CODE.Value = "015", false, true)

However I would like to expand this logic out for a user to be able to select one or multiple milestone values based upon a parameter to be setup called pmilestone.

In an existing ssrs 2008 report, I have added a few new columns to the existing report as requested by the user. In addition, the user wants to be able to sort the data on any column on the report by using a sort parameter value.
The data does not contain any summary values. The columns in the report include:
a. student number,
b. student name,
c. birth date,
d. age,
e. current grade level,

The default value is to sort by student name alphabetically. Whatever field is to be sorted first, the student name will be the second.

I have tried to sort the data at the tablix level and the row group level and the logic has not worked yet. There is no row group setup right now.

Thus could you show me how to setup the sort by using the parameter value? Would you show how the ssrs report needs to look for me to accomplish this goal and/or point me to link(s) that will show me how to accomplish this goal?

Can't keep column headers visible in IE browser

≪ Previous: ssrs 2008 sort data based upon parameter value

Hi,

I've been researching this for days and have tried many things to get my tablix column headers to freeze at top of screen when I'm scrolling down in a report IN THE BROWSER. I am using Report Builder 3.0 on MS Sql Server 2012 to create the report and Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8 to view the reports. The things I have tried are both in table and matrix, with a row group and without, with a column group and without, using the tablix property setting to 'keep header visible while scrolling' and also using the method of setting the tablix member properties for the static rows using tablix properties 'advance mode', clicking on static member and setting FixedDate = True, KeepWithGroup = After and RepeatOnNewPage = True and then also setting the background color of row to White.

In these tries I can always get what I need to work and show up in the Report Builder 'Preview' mode, but it never works in the browser when just running the report directly. I have tried everything I can find in the forums but still the only thing that ever happens in the browser is that the whole page just scrolls down and nothing stays frozen on top of screen (not even the report header stays let alone my matrix column headers). I can't find anything that addresses when it works in Preview mode but doesn't work in Internet Explorer. Is there a setting somewhere in the setup of reporting services that I'm missing maybe? Or something specific to the browser that I need to do?

Any help at all would be appreciated. I'm desperate. If I can't get this to work for all our reports, the users aren't going to stick with these.

Getting Report page count fails using RSS2014 and WPF

March 31, 2016, 2:44 am

≫ Next: How to retrive reporting service information from a WPF application

≪ Previous: Can't keep column headers visible in IE browser

Dear all,

We have a WPF application which is able to preview reporting services report by implementing the Microsoft.Reporting.Winforms control.

When we were using Reporting Service 2008 all was working fine and now moving to rss2014 we get trouble to retrive correct information from report page. The report control pageCount return all time a single page count info while there are more pages in report.

If report is preview directly from Internet Expolorer, page count is correct but not by retriving it from ReportViewer control

The way we are getting page count is simply by calling the following method of the control :

We are redering the report preview as a Bitmap, so each page inside the report are render as PNG file using stream ID as seen in MSDN sample.

The code below is the render method we use to build different pages as bitmap for preview:

/// <summary>
        /// Renders the report.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="format">The format into which to render the report.</param>
        /// <param name="deviceInfo">The xml data that specifies the rendering parameters.</param>
        /// <param name="streams">Returns the different streams rendered.</param>
        private void Render(string format, string deviceInfo, Queue<Stream> streams)
        {
            string mimeType = null;
            string encoding = null;
            string fileNameExtension = null;
            string[] streamIds = null;
            Warning[] warnings = null;
            byte[] data = null;


            // Render & get the first stream
            data = _report.Render(format, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out fileNameExtension, out streamIds, out warnings);
            streams.Enqueue(new MemoryStream(data));

            // Sort the stream ids in the order of the report pages.
            Array.Sort<string>(streamIds, new Comparison<string>(RenderStreamIdComparer));

            // Retreive the following pages
            foreach (string streamId in streamIds)
            {
                data = _report.RenderStream(format, streamId, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding);
                streams.Enqueue(new MemoryStream(data));
            }
        }

The methode _report.Render is part of the MS assembly report class. Each stream Id return is suppose to represent each report page, but at this level it returns only one single streamID even if my report has more than 1 page.

This was working ok so far until the time we update to RSS2014.

Any idea why those page count is not returning correctly ?

How to retrive reporting service information from a WPF application

March 31, 2016, 3:12 am

≫ Next: Reporting Services stopped working after account password change .

≪ Previous: Getting Report page count fails using RSS2014 and WPF

Dear all

We have a WPF application where we are doing a preview of a report configure in reporting service 2014.
To show the preview of the report we are using the ReportViewer library control.

What is happening is that since we move our reporting to RSS2014, we are not able to retrive correctly report pages. It only return 1 single page while report gets more.

To retrieve report page information we are doing as below :

 Bitmap[] images = null;
            Queue<Stream> streams = new Queue<Stream>();

            Render("IMAGE", CreateImageDeviceInfo("PNG", null, null), streams);

            images = new Bitmap[streams.Count];
            for (int i = 0; i < images.Length; i++)
            {
                using (Stream input = streams.Dequeue())
                {
                    images[i] = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromStream(input);
                }
            }

            return images;

The render method is define as below :

 /// <summary>
        /// Renders the report.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="format">The format into which to render the report.</param>
        /// <param name="deviceInfo">The xml data that specifies the rendering parameters.</param>
        /// <param name="streams">Returns the different streams rendered.</param>
        private void Render(string format, string deviceInfo, Queue<Stream> streams)
        {
            string mimeType = null;
            string encoding = null;
            string fileNameExtension = null;
            string[] streamIds = null;
            Warning[] warnings = null;
            byte[] data = null;


            // Render & get the first stream
            data = _report.Render(format, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding, out fileNameExtension, out streamIds, out warnings);
            streams.Enqueue(new MemoryStream(data));

            // Sort the stream ids in the order of the report pages.
            Array.Sort<string>(streamIds, new Comparison<string>(RenderStreamIdComparer));

            // Retreive the following pages
            foreach (string streamId in streamIds)
            {
                data = _report.RenderStream(format, streamId, deviceInfo, out mimeType, out encoding);
                streams.Enqueue(new MemoryStream(data));
            }
        }

As you can see, each page of the report is render as an Image and what is happening is that in stream collection always return a single stream. So du ti that the stream queue from which the image is build always contains a single record but in fact my record gets 2 pages, so teh stream colelction should be 2.

What is going wrong or done differently in RSS2014 than RSS2008 causing those page count not working anymore ?

or does it has to be done differently now ?

thnaks for advise and sample which might help
