Datasource Webservice

I test Webservices with the SSRS 2005 and do not get ahead.

Connectionstring: http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx
Query String: <Query><SoapAction>http://www.webservicex.net/GetWeatherByPlaceName</SoapAction></Query>

I get an error. What is wrong?
Additionally I would like to use parameters. For example Houston, Dallas, New York.

Can someone send an example with this Web service to me?

I just tried this using IE and got:
"The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation."

You should contact the author of the web service to request a fix.

Datasource credentails not saved if inside a batch

I am publishing an RDL using webservice. After publishing the report, i
update the embeded datasource for the report using "SetReportDataSources"
method.
If i use a "BatchHeader", with "ExecuteBatch" method the report is not
working. It says cannot login. I have to go the report datasource and retype
the password for the report to work.
But if I donot use "BatchHeader", the same code works.
This issue happens only on one of the reprot servers in our network. The
same code works on other report servers in the network. Is there a settings
in the report server or the server itself that is causing this.
Any help appreciated.I think in RS 2005 it was changed to SetItemDataSources(), anyway here's the
code we use for updating the datasources for the reports during deployment.
We create the datasource once, then for each report we deploy the report
then call this to update the datasource reference. We only use a single
datasource for all reports, so not too complex of an example. Depending on
the environment and version we change the datasource name.
Sub DSChange(ByVal ReportName As String)
Dim reference As new DataSourceReference()
Dim ds As New DataSource()
Dim dataSources() As DataSource
Try
reference.Reference = "/" & ReportDir & "/" & RSDSName
DataSources = rs.GetItemDataSources("/" & ReportDir & "/" &
ReportName)
ds = DataSources(0)
ds.Item = CType(reference, DataSourceDefinitionOrReference)
rs.SetItemDataSources("/" & ReportDir & "/" & ReportName,
DataSources)
Console.WriteLine("datasource reference set")
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try
End Sub

But our implementation is on RS2000.
Again our code is working on all the RS servers except one of them. that too
if we set the datasource within a transaction using BatchHeaders.

Dataset Confusion in Reporting Services 2005

I'm creating a report that gets its data from a dataset returned from a
webservice call. I've supplied the URL for the webservice and in my Dataset
dialog (in Visual Studio), I've indicated the Comnand Type as 'Text' and my
Query String as follows:
<Query>
<SoapAction>Federation/GetAll</SoapAction>
<ElementPath />
</Query>
Where: 'Federation' is my namespace and 'GetAll' is the method which gets
consumed from the webservice.
When I click the Run button on the report Design screen, the webservice is
called correctly but what I get back is one row for each field in my dataset
instead of one row for each record in the dataset. IOW, my dataset has 20
fields in it and what I get returned is a table with 20 records in it, one
for each field, instead of the actual data.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am having the same problem. Any answers yet? I am messing around with the
Element Path attribute, but since the BOL is pretty thin, and I'm a newbie to
XML & Web Services the going is slow.|||Same problem!....please help!

what I did and it worked for me - Notice the changes to the "ElementPath".
<Query>
<SoapAction>Federation/GetAll</SoapAction>
<ElementPath
IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetAllResponse/GetAllResult/diffgram/NewDataSet/Table</ElementPath>
</Query>
Note: If you only want certain columns returned, add your column name(s)
seperated by commas in brackets "{} " after "Table" (eg. <ElementPath
IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetAllResponse/GetAllResult/diffgram/NewDataSet/Table{column1_name,column2_name}</ElementPath>)
Hope this helps!
