Getting Detailed SSRS Errors - sql-server

I have a report in SSRS (SSRS 2008, running on Windows 2008 Server, running in Sharepoint integrated mode) that is returning an error. However - I have no idea what the error is. If I run the report on the Report Server, I'm returned this error message.
Crystal clear, right?
I have enabled Remote Errors via Reporting Services, so I believe I can get the error by querying the ReportServer database by this:
SELECT * FROM ExecutionLogStorage
ORDER BY TimeStart DESC
I see the report I ran, but "Status" is "rsSuccess".
The AdditionalInfo field returns:
<AdditionalInfo>
<ProcessingEngine>2</ProcessingEngine>
<ScalabilityTime>
<Pagination>0</Pagination>
<Processing>0</Processing>
</ScalabilityTime>
<EstimatedMemoryUsageKB>
<Pagination>4</Pagination>
<Processing>18</Processing>
</EstimatedMemoryUsageKB>
<DataExtension>
<SQL>1</SQL>
</DataExtension>
</AdditionalInfo>
From that, it looks the report ran successfully, but it obviously didn't.
When I look through the SSRS logs, located here:
I see this:
library!ReportServer_0-9!abc!12/02/2013-13:52:47:: Call to GetPermissionsAction(http://ReportServer/reports/Documents/BlackList_Report.rdl).

runningjobs!ReportServer_0-9!a70!12/02/2013-13:54:18:: i INFO: Adding: 1 running jobs to the database
Again, nothing that explains what the error is. How can I figure out what is causing this error?

Alright - I was able to configure Sharepoint to display the actual error. It has nothing to do with SSRS.
To get the full Sharepoint error, you need to make some changes in the web.config file, which is typically located in the following directory: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories.
The changes you need to make are:
Find this entry:
<SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false" DirectFileDependencies="10" TotalFileDependencies="50" AllowPageLevelTrace="false">
and replace it with:
<SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="true" DirectFileDependencies="10" TotalFileDependencies="50" AllowPageLevelTrace="true">
Lastly, change:<customErrors mode="On" /> to <customErrors mode="Off" />.
Save the file. I did not need to reboot Sharepoint for this to work.
Now Sharepoint should provide a detailed error message.

SSRS preview stopped working

I'm using VS2017 and have added the parts necessary to use SSRS. I've created three reports and have successfully previewed them in VS. I deployed them to a report server and checked that they worked, and they didn't. The server reported an error. To solve that, I had to go into the Data Source Properties -> Credentials dialog and change the Credentials to "Use this user name and password."
That solved the error that the server reported. I deployed them once again, and they worked. However, now when I try to do a preview on any of the reports in VS, I get an error message that says:
an error occurred during local report processing
an error has occurred during report processing
I've already looked on here and Googled this, and most responses were for people using rdlc reports in applications, which I am not doing. Any ideas?

Issue with SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

Preface: Installed SQL Server 2016 RC0 and installed and configured Reporting Services all fine, thoughts maybe on potential conflicts with existing SSRS instances?
Issue with SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, every time I navigate through the configuration manager to either the Web Service URL or the Report Manager URL, I get the following errors:
Report Manager URL returns
HTTP 500 error
Console when opening the Report Manager URL returns
SCRIPT16389: Unspecified error.
http_500.htm (1,1)
HTML1524: Invalid HTML5 DOCTYPE. Consider using the interoperable form
!DOCTYPE html
.http_500.htm (1,1)
Web Service URL returns
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 'C.0.9.45'.
The expected version is '162'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) Get
Online Help
Console when opening the Web Service URL returns,
GET http://localhost:8085/ReportServer_MYREPORTS 500 (Server Error)
To try and resolve this, i've already tried adding RSExecRole to RoleMembers under both ReportServer$MyReports and ReportServer$MyReportsTempDB.
Also tried recreating ReportServer database under the Config Manager, but get the following error.
Generating Database Script - Error:
Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: An error occurred when attempting to connect to the report server remote procedure call (RPC) end point.
I can confirm that both RPC services, SSRS Services are running with no problems, and also restarted these services multiple times.
I have realised that my ReportServer$MyReports is missing the DBUpgradeHistory table.
Any thoughts?
This will fix the issue right away:
delete from dbo.ServerUpgradeHistory where ServerVersion=[The wrong or upgraded version]
In my case, there was no "ServerUpgradeHistory" table. I needed to install SSRS 2012 on a machine that already had SSRS 2016 to do regression testing for a client that doesn't want to upgrade their system.
What I discovered is that there are SharePoint settings that SSRS installs even if you don't install SharePoint or SharePoint Plugins on your box.
Here's what fixed the problem for me:
Navigate your File Explorer to C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\
Note there are many directories in here that have nothing to do with SSRS. We will just focus on seven directories that appear to be related to this problem.
Navigate to Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.Alerting
Enter the assembly directory. This is usually a series of digits followed by a hexadecimal identifier.
E.G. 13.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91
This path will vary based on what is installed on the machine
Backup the config file in case you need to roll back changes
E.G. from a Command prompt: COPY *.config *.bak
Open the config file.
Look for the text in the newVersion attribute of the bindingRedirect tag:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="11.0.0.0" newVersion="13.0.0.0">
Modify this to use "11.0.0.0"
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="11.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0">
Save your changes
Repeat steps 2 through 8 with the following subpaths:
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.Common
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.ObjectModel
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.Server
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.SharedService
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint12.Server
Policy.11.0.Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint14.Server
Reboot your computer

SSRS 2012: "The report execution has expired or cannot be found. (rsExecutionNotFound)"

I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 and received this error without any known cause: The report execution eqaiekfzmk2snc55y0zrow55 has expired or cannot be found. (rsExecutionNotFound).
While I have found other posts describing problem through Google searches, the resolutions did not help me:
Restarting SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, and SQL Server Reporting services
Increasing the Execution Timeout through SQL Server Management Studio when connected to the Reporting server
Adding rs:ClearSession to the URL querystring (and trying IE, Chrome, and Firefox)
Redeploying after each troubleshooting step and retesting
I looked in the Reporting Services log file folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles but I see the datestamp is over two months old and I could see nothing related to the symptom.
I looked looked in ExecutionLog3 and did not see anything related to the symptom. use ReportServer; select * from ExecutionLog3;
To find out what did work, I verified that:
The query and results are sound, as seen in Management Studio
I can preview the report in Data Tools on the server
I can view the report when remoting into the server
I only see the error when viewing the page from outside the server. This is a relatively lightweight query and result set, so I cannot believe that this problem has anything to do with execution timeouts.
I changed the name of the file and redeployed. I am able to see that report now, but this isn't a true resolution because I still don't know what is truly causing the problem and how to fix it. If the symptom appears again, I can't keep changing the filename and redeploy.
Is there a way to get a better idea of what is happening? A specific log file or a property I need to change?
Update:
I thought I had this problem worked out, but apparently not. I found nothing useful in the error logs: only a restatement of the same error message visible in the browser. When I redeploy (using SQL Server Data Tools), the error goes away... for a few hours or until the next day, when I need to redeploy to make the error go away.
I know this is an old question but I had this problem recently and it turned out to be a bad session cookie. The cookies session-id matched the guid in the error message and once I deleted the cookie all worked fine after that. The report at one point had been configured to cache a temporary copy
but that had since been turned off (however, the problem existed before that had been turned off so it may not be relevant).
Hopefully this answer will help someone else save the hour I spent figuring it out in my environment :)
This might help someone.
In my case, The report url had trailing spaces (a silly mistake) which caused this.
I've added &rs:Command=ClearSession to the end of my url and works fine with me.
As stated in a different answer you can clear the session which usually resolves this issue.
If you have a question mark in your URL already then add the following to the end.
&rs:Command=ClearSession
If you do not have one then you need to add the following to the end.
?rs:Command=ClearSession
I just had this problem, it was for an existing report that had been working correctly. However, the Report Builder had been open for some time in another window while I was working on something else, and I hadn't saved my work (I was applying a filter, and didn't want to save my changes with my test filter). It occurred to me that since the report HAD been working, but it had been sitting idle, it might have gone stale. I opened the Dataset Properties, clicked Query Designer, then "Run Query". The Query Designer then got a fresh request from the data source. I closed the Dataset Properties window and clicked "Run", and my report was again displayed.
For me, I had no trailing space.
Some people had luck with clearing Session.Keys of "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportHierarchy"
I solved it by Session.Clear in the global.asax
For us, the error appeared trying to run a report on an SSRS 2016 server using Internet Explorer 11. The user had created a bookmark that linked directly to the report. What may have happened: IE preserves cookies and temporary internet files for favorites to "help them load faster". The user may have initially ran the report, then created the bookmark to the report which contained session information.
To fix: Delete the bookmark, then cleared browser history in IE (CTL+SHIFT+DEL) being sure to uncheck "Preserve Favorites website data".

SSRS Query execution failed for dataset

Have just deployed my Project on to my reporting Server.
I have multiple datasets which are referencing views which exist on the db on that server.
When I try to go into any report part I am getting this message:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'dataset1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
Can anyone help?
I enabled remote errors to pinpoint the problem.
I identified that a column in a particular dataset (one of my views) was throwing an error.
So using a tool "SQL Delta", I compared the development version of the database with the live version on the reporting server. I noticed that one of the views had an extra column on the development server, that was not on the live version of the db.
SQL Delta generated the script I needed to run to update the view on my live db.
I ran this script, re-ran the report, everything worked.
I encountered a similar error message. I was able to fix it without enabling remote errors.
In Report Builder 3.0, when I used the Run button to run the report, an error alert appeared, saying
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
[OK] [Details...]
Pressing the details button gave me a text box where I saw this text:
For more information about this error navigate to the report server
on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
----------------------------
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
I was confused and frustrated, because my report did not have a dataset named 'DataSet1'. I even opened the .rdl file in a text editor to be sure. After a while, I noticed that there was more text in the text box below what I could read. The full error message was:
For more information about this error navigate to the report server
on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
----------------------------
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
----------------------------
The execution failed for the shared data set 'CustomerDetailsDataSet'.
(rsDataSetExecutionError)
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
I did have a shared dataset named 'CustomerDetailsDataSet'. I opened the query (which was a full SQL query entered in text mode) in SQL Server Management Studio, and ran it there. I got error messages which clearly pointed to a certain table, where a column I had been using had been renamed and changed.
From that point, it was straightforward to modify my query so that it worked with the new column, then paste that modification into the shared dataset 'CustomerDetailsDataSet', and then nudge the report in Report Builder to recognise the change to the shared dataset.
After this fix, my reports no longer triggered this error.
Like many others here, I had the same error. In my case it was because the execute permission was denied on a stored procedure it used. It was resolved when the user associated with the data source was given that permission.
I experienced the same issue, it was related to security not being granted to part of the tables. review your user has access to the databases/ tables/views/functions etc used by the report.
The solution for me came from GShenanigan:
You'll need to check out your log files on the SSRS server for more detail. They'll be somewhere like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.DEV\Reporting Services\LogFiles\"
I was able to find a permissions problem on a database table referenced by the view that was not the same one as the where the view was. I had been focused on permissions on the view's database so this helped pinpoint where the error was.
I just dealt with this same issue. Make sure your query lists the full source name, using no shortcuts. Visual Studio can recognize the shortcuts, but your reporting services application may not be able to recognize which tables your data should be coming from. Hope that helps.
I had the similar issue showing the error
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on
the local server machine, or enable remote errors Query execution
failed for dataset 'PrintInvoice'.
Solution:
1) The error may be with the dataset in some cases, you can always check if the dataset is populating the exact data you are expecting by going to the dataset properties and choosing 'Query Designer' and try 'Run', If you can successfully able to pull the fields you are expecting, then you can be sure that there isn't any problem with the dataset, which takes us to next solution.
2) Even though the error message says "Query Failed Execution for the dataset", another probable chances are with the datasource connection, make sure you have connected to the correct datasource that has the tables you need and you have permissions to access that datasource.
In my situation, I created a new SSRS report and new stored procedure for the dataset. I forgot to add the stored procedure to the database role that had permission to execute it. Once I added the permissions to SQL database role with EXECUTE, all was fine!
The error message encountered by the user was "An error occurred during client rendering. An error has occurred during report processing (rsProcessingAborted). Query execution failed for dataset "DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) For more information..."
Very grateful I found this great post. As for my case, the user executing the stored procedure did not have EXECUTE permissions. The solution was to grant EXECUTE permissions for the user within the stored procedure by adding below code to the end of the stored procedure.
GRANT EXECUTE ON dbo.StoredProcNameHere TO UsernameRunningreports
GO
I also had a very similar issue with a very similar error message. My issue was that the database could not be connected to. In our case, we have mirrored databases and the connection string did not specify the Failover Partner. So when the database couldn't connect, it never went to the mirror and was throwing this error. Once I specified the Failover Partner in the connection string for my datasource, it resolved the issue.
BIGHAP: A SIMPLE WORK AROUND FOR THIS ISSUE.
I ran into the same problem when working with SharePoint lists as the DataSource, and read the blogs above which were very helpful. I had made changes in both the DataSource and Data object names and query fields in Visual Studio and the query worked in visual Studio. I was able to deploy the report to SharePoint but when I tried to open it I received the same error.
I guessed that the issue was that I needed to redeploy both the DataSource and the DataSet to SharePoint so that that changes in the rendering tools were all synced.
I redeployed the DataSource, DataSet and the Report to sharePoint and it worked.
As one of the blogs stated, although visual studio allowed the changes I made in the dataset and datasource, if you have not set visual studio to automatically redeploy datasource and dataset when you deploy the report(which can be dangerous, because this can affect other reports which share these objects) this error can occur.
So, of course the fix is that in this case you have to redeploy datasource, dataset and Report to resolve the issue.
I was also facing the same issue - I checked below things to fix this issue,
If you have recently changed pointing database-name in data-source
then first check that all the store procedures for that report exist
on changed database.
If there are multiple sub reports on main report then make sure each
report individually running perfectly.
Also check security panel - user must have access to the databases/
tables/views/functions for that report.
Sometimes, we also need to check dataset1 - store procedure. As if you are trying to show the report with user1 and if this user doesn't have the access(rights) of provided (dataset1 database) database then it will throw the same error as above so must check the user have access of dbreader in SQL Server.
Also, if that store procedure contains some other database (Database2) like
Select * from XYZ inner join Database2..Table1 on ... where...
Then user must have the access of this database too.
Note: you can check log files on this path for more details,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.SQLEXPRESS\Reporting Services
I got same error but this worked and solved my problem
If report is connected to Analysis server then give required permission to the user (who is accessing reporting server to view the the reports) in your model of analysis server.
To do this add user in roles of model or cube and deploy the model to your analysis server.
Using SSRS, Report Builder 3.0, MSSQL 2008 and query to an Oracle 11G database,
I found that the oracle stored procedure ran well, produced consistent results with no errors. When I tried bringing the data into SSRS, I got the error as listed in OP's query. I found that the data loaded and displayed only if I removed the parameters (not a good idea).
On Further examination, I found that under dataset properties>parameters I had set the start date to parameterName P_Start and parameter Value to #P_Start.
Adding the Parameter value as [#P_Start] cleared the problem, and the data loads well, with parameters in place.
This problem was caused by an orphaned SQL Login. I ran my favorite sp_fixusers script and the error was resolved. The suggestion above to look at the logs was a good one...and it led me to my answer.
This might be the permission issue for your view or store procedure
In addition to the above answers, it could be due to a missing SQL stored-procedure or SQL function. For example, this could be due to the function not migrating from a non-prod region to the production (prod) region.
Removing all comments from the Select Query fixed this for me. My dataset was working in the Preview but when I went to Design/Query Designer and and tried the query there I was getting ORA-01006;bind variable does not exist. After removing all comments from the select it worked.

SSRS report subscription ended with an error

I hate to cross post, but I wasn't getting any progress with this on serverfault and there appears to be a lot more activity with regard to reporting services here.
I've created a simple report in SSRS, and then tried my hand out with a data driven subscription.
I can verify that the subscription runs on the 'My Subscriptions' page. Under Status it says Done: 1 processed of 1 total; 1 errors.
How do I find out what this error is?
I've looked in the Windows Event Logs and haven't found anything. I also checked the SQL Server Logs and nothing is there either.
You need to look in the "Report Server Execution Log" which is a particular SQL Reporting Services log file.
See Reporting Services Log Files for details.
A bit late to the party, however:
Here is where I find my logs when DD subscription fails:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\LogFiles
look for filename: ReportServerService*.log with relevant Date Modified
You also can check the Report History, to get this option, put the mouse on top of your report and select manage option from drop-down list of your report, look for the "Report History" on the left options, create a "New Snapshot"
It will show you, the last error know:
Parameter validation failed. It is not possible to provide valid values for all parameters (rsParameterError)
for this case you need to check the definition of the report, I had an issue with the drop-down list I used to send parameters to the report.
The path under which you can find Report Server Service logs could be different, such as:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS12.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles
In this logs you can find errors that happened after generating the report itself. For instance, if the Reporting Services user needs to write the report as a CSV file after a subscription and it lacks the necessary authorization, the only place where you can find the description of the error is in these logs, while the history of the Job connected with the subscription and the Execution Log will tell you that the Report was correctly generated (nothing about saving the report).
