I'm new to Reporting Services and have started creating Reports recently. I am creating reports in BIDS that comes with MS SQL Server, for my purpose, R2, and have configured the Reporting Server also. Everything is fine. I am able to preview the reports, debug, deploy and all, using the BIDS.
But, the problem is, when I click the Report Manager URL in the Reporting Service Configuration Manager and expect to see the Report Manager as a Web application, I instead, end up with a non-graphical web page, displaying the text based links to directories like this:
and Ultimately, I get no options like:(as shown in MSDN)
Click Site Settings at the top of the page
Click the Security tab at the side of the page etc.
Yes, of course, I did try to run the Browser as Administrator and then enter the Report Manager URL in it, yet again, I get the same screen
Any suggestions ? Would be greatly appreciated Thanks.
The screen shot you posted is valid, its called the "Report Server" this is essential to call the report server when passing parameters for instance. What you want to view is the report manager, generally that can be found at http://reportservername/reports
Just to clarify what JonH has posted: In Reporting Services Configuration Manager - click the Report Manager URL link in the left column. In the box next to "Virtual Directory:" Type the name you want...My company reports. Click Apply, once the manager has completed you should be able to click the new URL and see the Report Manager.
Thanks... I was facing same issue.
I installed SQL server Express 2012 version. BY Default the 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' points to "ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS" as the Virtual Directory in "Web Service URL" & "Report Manager URL" by Default. So by Default it becomes like;
Report Server: _http://zed:80/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS
Report Manager: _http://zed:80/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS
So the Reports Home page is not displayed.
I changed as Below, "Report" as the Virtual Directory in "Web Service URL" & "Reports" as the Virtual Directory in "Report Manager URL". So it becomes like below.
Report Server: _http://zed/report
Report Manager: _http://zed/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

I am trying to access a network file from the SSRS report.
Below is what I have tried or done
Included a table in the new report
On one of the column box clicked the
text box properties ----->Action ---->Go to URL ------ Here I gave the fully qualified server name file://Servername/xxxx
Now I deployed the report on to the SSRS server and when I click on the particular col nothing happens (I am testing this on 2016 version of ssrs)
When I deployed the same report on 2008 version of ssrs I was able to read/open the file from the network location
Any help on this is highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
make sure the service account that is used to run the SSRS 2016 version has access to read from the location you are referencing
Can anyone tell me how to change the title of SQL Server 2016 Master Data Services within the web portal. Basically I want to change the "SQL Server 2016" to be my company name.
Can this be achieved?
Many thanks
This is based on my knowledge of SQL Server 2012. 2016 may be slightly different.
If you're referring to the "title" in the top-left corner of every page then that is actually an image. In order to change that to another logo image of your choosing you will have to replace that image on the site in the web server. This is how you can achieve this:-
Log on to (remote desktop to) the Web Server hosting the MDS site. If you have separate DB & Web servers then this is Not the one where the database is hosted.
You now need to go the physical folder where the MDS website is located on the server. If you don't know the exact location then open IIS, locate your MDS site in the tree structure on the left (under sites), right-click on your site & click Explore.
Once you're in the folder, look for a sub-folder named Images. Inside this folder, you will find a file logo.png. This is the file you need to replace. Verify by opening the original file in an image viewer.
Backup the original file, add your png file here, rename your file to logo.png.
You should be set here. In case refreshing the browser page does not bring up the correct logo, then try restarting the site in IIS.
Note: for your new logo image, try to get the same dimensions as the original image on the server (logo.png).
I have uploaded report to CRM which I created in SSRS, when I go into CRM and then run it from Report section it runs successfully, only thing is it's looking for GUID in order to show reports with value.
I want to automate this somthing like whenever I go to each client Profile in CRM and click on run reports it should fetch it's GUID and pass it to that report as parameter and show the report.
Please help.
Try following,
1) change your report's datasource to embedded and then add button to the ribbon in Dynamics CRM( see following link)

We have an SSRS Report Server (I don't know if the name "Report Sever" is peculiar to us or common to SQL Server report services (IOW, I don't know if we chose it, or Microsoft did)) that hosts various queries that users can run against our data.
I need to find out which query is being run, probably which Stored Proc, for a given report that is available.
I thought I could suss that out via the "View Source" from the page, but I see no "data source," nor the name of our connection, or such. In fact, I looked through the entire source and saw nothing helpful.
The "View Report" button is:
<td><input type="submit" name="ReportViewerControl$ctl04$ctl00" value="View Report" id="ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl00" />
...and the only other reference to it is here:
Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
$create(Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient._PromptArea, {"CredentialsLinkId":"ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl01","ParameterIdList":["ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl03","ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl05","ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl07","ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl09"],"ParametersGridID":"ParametersGridReportViewerControl_ctl04","ReportViewerId":"ReportViewerControl","ViewReportButtonId":"ReportViewerControl_ctl04_ctl00"}, null, null, $get("ReportViewerControl_ctl04"));
});
Is there a way, either from the "View Source" or otherwise, where I can coax out the SP used to generate the report?
UPDATE
Spurred on by Steve Mangiameli's comment, I see that I have the following in my Start menu:
MS SQL Server 2005
SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS)
MS SQL Server 2008
SQL Server Installation Center
MS SQL Server 2012
SQL Server Data Tools
I don't know which, of any, of these has value for me in this quest.
UPDATE 2
We do have a Visual Studio 2005 project named "Report Server" project with many .rdl files beneath the "Reports" folder. I thought this was a unique-to-us solution, but maybe not.
Even if this is the "Report Server" mentioned, though, I still don't know which .rdl file is the one that drives the report I can generate via our online Report Viewer page.
It would be nice if the report, when generated, had some reference to the name of the related .rdl file.
You're going to want to navigate either Report Manager or the Report Server to download the report. Once you have the .rdl file, open it in a text editor...it's just an xml file. Simply perform a find for "dataset" and inspect the dataset values. You will see the datasource, parameter and SP. Use this link to help you navigate the site.
Adding a better link with pictures. I'd do it myself but don't have access to cloud services here at work.

The easiest way is to use Sql Profiler. Run Sql Profiler, put a trace on your Sql Server and run your report. You'll then see the exact SQL statement that is hitting the server.
After avoid disasters for a few years, my luck finally ran out.
I had a few query windows open (one of them on our production server which I forgot about). Thinking I was on our dev server, I did all sorts of nasties and totally hosed our production database.
Any BKM's on how you folks keep this from happening?
All advice appreciated!
Open up SQL Server Management Studio
On the View menu make sure that Registered Servers is visible (alternatively hit CTRL+ALT+G
In the Registered Server panel expand Database Engine
Right-click Local Server Groups
Chose New Server Registration
Fill in your necessary server details and then switch to the Connection Properties tab
Click on the Use custom color checkbox
Select the colour to be used. I tend to chose bright-red for live servers and green for development environments.
Save your Registered Server.
Next time you open a query on this connection the status bar at the footer should show the colour you selected.
IMPORTANT: If you change the connection of a query window (option in the right-click context menu) the colour of the status bar does not change. Just be careful out there!
Specially for such case I have added "Important DB Alert" function into my SSMS add-in called SSMSBoost.
You can "save" your production and development databases and assign them different colors. Whenever you change your connection to "Important DB" you will be warned with additional tooltip, appearing in SQL Editor window.
The feature is described here:
