Dataset cannot be generated error

When editing the data driven subscription query I SOMETIMES get the following error: The dataset cannot be generated. An error occurred while connecting to a data source, or the query is not valid for the data source. (rsCannotPrepareQuery) Invalid object name '##XX'. The datasource is ok, authentication also, the query works... Why can't it see the temporary table?

|||How would I make it work with a temporary table? To update the problem: when I validate the query I get the error described above however if I run the same stored procedure that is used in a query in let's say management studio and leave it open, the query in data driven subscription web interface is validated succesfully. I'm running RS2005 on a Win2003Server.
|||I really woul appreciate any suggestions, cause it's basically messing with my report server stability...thanks

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same problem. My data set involves concatenated SQL which causes the SP to not return the columns, but if I don't do it this way, I will be creating a monumental amount of work to have individual tables.

Data-driven subscription: put parameter in the filename text

Hi all,

I've developed a data driven subscription report. I have a paramete (named "Data") that is a result of my query to the current date. It is working fine.

Now I would like to make one change: In the step4 of the creation of the data-driven report we have the option to give a name to the filename.The name that I gave was TestFile. In this option i'm also able to select the parameter instead of giving the name to the filename. Can I make something like TestFile_ & @.Data? Wich would result in TestFile_01-02-2007? Or the only way is to make, in the query of the paramenter another field with this result?

Thanks in advance.

Marco.

I tried the other option, making it by a query and this is what I want.

Anyway, instead of making this in my query, I couldn't have done this in the text? Like I said TestFile_ & @.Data? This would be interpreted as a string am I right?

Data-Driven Subscription Link

Hi,
I'm setting up a data driven subscription for a report. I'm using email as
the delivery option, am NOT including the report in the email, instead using
the hyperlink feature to bring the user to the report on the server. I
tested it out and I received the email with the link but the link displays
the full address of the server, report path and parameters to the recipient.
We designed the system to use URL access and hidden parameters to hide all
paths and parameter options from the user, how can we have the link in the
email display something like: "Click here to view report" instead of:
http://myserver/ReportServer?/Reporting/FullReport&Client=xxx&date=xx/xx/xxxx.
It is very important to my company that we hide this string from the user.
thank you
JerryI'm not sure how you could accomplish this. Even if we put just the text
you suggest and make it a hyperlink, the url would still be visible to the
user. You could always modify the comments section to include html and put
the hyperlink in yourself, but this would not hide the parameter.

instanciated via Javascript. That allowed us to turn off the address bar and
hide the URL. The user could still access it by right-clicking on the page
and going to properties, but at least it's not obvious.

>|||In another situation, I didn't care that the URL was visible, I just had one
particular parameter that I couldn't allow the users to see (the username).
I solved this problem by "encrypting" that parameter. I created a simple SQL
function where I pass in the username, it manipulates the string a little and
then returns the SOUNDEX of the manipulated string. I used the function when
creating the data for the report and then again when selecting the parameters
for the data-driven subscription. I published the report, then went to
Report Manager and checked the "Prompt User" checkbox then set the "Prompt
String" to null. That allows me to send out the URL in the subscription
e-mails that are generated because the parameter value is meaningless to the
user (they see 'S165' instead of 'sebring', for example). They can click on
the URL link and the report comes up for them, but because the "Prompt
String" is set to null in the subscription, they cannot change that
parameter. It worked perfectly for what we needed.

Datadriven Subscription - Web Archive Improper formatting

Hi All,

I have a data driven subscription with Web Archive rendering format.

(SQL Reporting Service 2000). When a user gets this email, the format is not alligned properly, even, lines are missing in the report.

What could be the problem, is this a known issue? if yes, any patches available?

Please help me.

Thanks,

Database using Frontpage 2003 or Sharepoint 2007 (was "I have a goofy question")

Has anyone ever heard of a Data Driven Database using Frontpage 2003 or Sharepoint 2007 as the assistant tool on for the front end and SQL server as the engine?? Is that even possible??
Cause right now I have Access 2003 on the Front end and I would like to get rid of itFrontpage and Sharepoint especially play quite well with MSSQL.|||Hoorrrayy Just The Answer I Wanted Woohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||Has anyone ever heard of a Data Driven Database.....as opposed to, say, a gasoline powered database? Or perhaps nuclear?
And what is an "assistant tool"? Is that something that helps a screwdriver perform its duties?|||Hey how are you doing, sorry used wrong terminology|||Frontpage and Sharepoint especially play quite well with MSSQL.

Sharepoint plays with DBAs much like a cat plays with a mouse.|||I sent off for Sharepoint the Beta Version, I already have Frontpage 2003 created a website with it and everything.|||So since I'm more comfortable with that I was wondering if I could use it to take the place of the MS Access 2003 interface for our databases that we have now, would be nice to go web based and get rid of the applications.
