Report Parameters

I am using stored procedures and I would like an input parameter to use a
different stored procedure from the report. Query access seems to be on the
report stored proc. I also don't want to run the report untill the user
selects parameters since it is long.
Thanks,

In the Data tab of the BIDS environment, select the drop-down list box
to the right of 'Dataset:' and select '<New Dataset...>' change
'Command type:' to StoredProcedure and below 'Query string:' enter in
the new stored procedure that you want to use. Then select the
'Report' drop-down tab and select 'Report Parameters...' >> select the
'Add' button and below 'Available values:' select the dataset you just
created below 'Dataset:' The 'Value field:' will be what is used in
the report or elsewhere in another stored procedure (sometimes an
identity field in a table or primary key of sorts: but not always) and
the 'Label field:' is what is shown to the user to select from. To
delay the report running until after the parameter is selected, below
the 'Default values:' during the parameter creation process select
'Null.' Hope this helps.

Report parameter validation from report manager in reporting services 2005

Hi,

Whenever user viewing a report using report manager,

how can we validate the input values from user for a datatime type report parameter.

i.e. validating whether the date is correct and in required format.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

Pintu

The built in parameter UI performs only simple validation (making sure a float parameter has numeric characters, for example). The server will perform a full validation on the parameter value for formatting, culture, data type, etc. If you want more advanced client side validation, you will need to provide custom parameter UI in your own portal. Report Manager is not extensible in this regard.|||

Thanks Brian for providing the useful informaion

|||

Isn't there any built in functionality to prevent SQL injection? Or any build in functionality to prevent other scripts from being inserted i.e. scripts to prevent < > characters etc?

Can you provide a sample of a simple custom UI and tell us where/how to call it?

Thanks

Amy

Do you have default(s) on your report parameter(s) set to query? It
sounds like the report parameter'(s) dataset/query is hanging. How
complex is the query for the report parameters? Also, make sure that
you do not have Auto-refresh set on the report (via Layout tab ->
Report drop-down -> Report Properties... -> General tab) or set too
frequently. Hope this helps.

Report Manager Parameter Entry Area Scrolling

Is there a way to enlarge the area where report input parameters are
displayed on report manager? Right now, reports with many input parameters
require the user to use a scroll bar to view all parameter to inputAFAIK, no.

Report Loading Error

I have developed a report and deployed it successfully. After I input all the parameters, the report cannot be displayed and shows the error as follows:

???? (rsProcessingAborted) ??
??? 'tempDB' ?? (rsErrorOpeningConnection) ??
Login failed for user 'username'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

The report can be loaded a few times before and cannot be loaded now.

I have checked that the DB security setting of authentication is set to "SQL Server and Windows" already.

Any idea to solve this problem?

Should be authentication problem. Did you find any solution?

Report gets refreshed automatically

Hi,

I created a report using SQL 2000 Reporting Services. I have 3 input fields viz., Start Date, End Date and Configuration Item. First 2 are textboxes and the last one is a dropdown. I also have a button 'View Report' clicking which the report page will be refreshed. When I deploy the Reports in report manager, when I give the Start Date then the End date, before I could select a value from the Dropdown, the report page is getting refreshed automatically before I click View Report button. i.e., the report gets refreshed on lifting the focus from the End date textbox. Why does this happen? Note that I have not set the Auto refresh property for this report.

The most likely reason the report is being refreshed is because the "Configuration Item" parameter has a dynamic value that may depend on the values of "Start Date" and/or "End Date". The report is refreshed as soon as the value for "End Date" changes to ensure that the valid values for "Configuration Item" are accurate.

For example, RS will assume that "Configuration Item" depends on "End Date" if:

"Configuration Item" is populated from a query that uses expressions in the query, filters, calculated fields, or query parameters|||

I also faced the same problem.

In my case, by mistake I set the Report Properties " AutoRefresh " as 1 insted of 0 in properties window on right hand side

so just check whether its 1 or 0
