How "NOT" to expire the ReportSession and ControlID in the request This question is related to VSTS and above parameters in the request. Question is: A script created with VSTS for testers has hard coded values for ReportSession and ControlID in the requests, These IDs are expired after some time and scripts fails to run after few hours. Can some one tell me how to set the session expiration time on these ID's in the Report server so I can increase the value to 60*24*365 (1 year) this would solve my problem with hard coded values in the scripts for above mentioned IDs.

AVG MDX Function I have been trying to solve a calculated measure using both the sum/count methods and the avg function, but neither is working for the result that I want. We are trying to come up with an average course score based on an average test score. Example: user takes two tests (test1 twice for 50% and 100% - avg = 75% test2 once for 100%) and the course average would be (75+100)/2 = 87.5%. In our MDX we are getting (50+100+100)/3 = 83.33% instead. We do have a hierarchy set based on course-->test-->test iteration where test iteration is each individual score. The overall average works the way you would typically thing with the sum/count method, but not based on how we want it to calculate AVG(AVG(test1 scores) + AVG(Test2 scorces)). I tried to use the AVG function, but this only works at the lowest level in the hierarchy and then appears to SUM up the results as you go up into the hierarchy (avg test1 75% test 2 100% course 175% -- not sure why the AVG works that way). Can anyone tell me if this is even possible to get the average the way I am proposing or do I need to create some type of an aggregated take will calculations in the data warehouse to reference. Thanks. Tag: Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

Problem Related to Package execution in SSIS Hi, I have the hierarchy of packages.. there are three levels.. first package (say L1) calls two child packages.(say L2_1 , L2_2) the parameters are passed to L2_1 from L1 and it executes completely and successfully. next step is L1 calls L2_2 without any parameters.. and package fails with error as execution of L2_2 failed. when I executed L2_2 individually it successfully executes. L2_2 itself calls 5 other packages (at level 3).. Am not able to identify the possible reason for failure.. Tag: Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

Using variables in a data reader source Greetings SSIS friends, I have tried using a sql command for my data reader source. I added the following expression to my datareader source : "select * from result where result_id > " + @.[max_result_id] but I get the following error message : The SQL command has not been set correctly. Check SQLCommand property. I then got rid of the variable (defined at package level) and replaced it with a string like so : "select * from result where result_id > " + "123456" but I still get the same error message!

Running ALTER on stored procedure removes delay Every so often we have problems running several stored procedures on our database. Specifically, our applications begin timing out. We have been able to fix the problem everytime by running an ALTER on our stored procedures. Note that the we don't change anything in the tsql, we just run ALTER. Example: If we created the SP using: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Test] AS SELECT * FROM TABLES running ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Test] AS SELECT * FROM TABLES will fix our timeout problem.

The only thing I did recently was move the My Documents folder from my local machine to a folder on a network share (to make sure my docs are backed up) via a right click on the My Documents folder in the Start menu, then pick the new location. I've since moved it back, but the above error persists. Also, when I try to configure the server's protocols, I'm not able to enable any of the protocols. I can right click the protocol and click enable, then I get the error that says it'll take effect when i restart the service, but then in the display, it still says disabled. Refreshing doesn't change the status. The client protocols are enabled though. Any help would be greatly appreciated (since the service never successfully starts)...

Parent Package Variables and SQL Package Store Hello All, I have a Master Package which calls a group of other packages out on the SSIS Package Store using parent / child and a number of variables. These seem to work when passing various audit information (audit key, record counts, etc) but when I try to pass a variable for the connection string and assign it via an expression to the connection manager, I get the Master Package writing to the correct database and the children package writing to their "default" database which is supplied as the default value in the variables which should be populated by the parent task. i.e., I end up with my master package audit information in database a and child package audit and transactions in database b, even though the packages associated with these transactions are supposed to be reading the connection string from a parent variable. Any clues or suggestions Edit: It is still passing along the correct parent audit information and record counts, it's just not connecting to the correct database by the variables holding the connect string Thanks for your time.

I think this is because the TimeId is used as the Key in the dimension as opposed to the actual in order to correctly order the dimension date values, so the MDX requires a TimeId as opposed to the date. How do I go about converting the date to match up with the expected TimeId value Really a bit stumped with this Tag: Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

New version of MSSQL CE RC1 I noticed the new date on the download page for RC1 of MSSQL CE. I downloaded it and compared it to the last one (I think it was maybe dated 11/17/06 ) and found there are differences between the 2 msi files. That leads me to some questions: 1. What has changed with this latest RC1 release Any fixes that would make this a "required" download 2. Can I get away with just uninstalling the old MSSQL CE RC1 and reinstalling the new one i.e. without having to go through all of the other prerequisite, exacting steps required to get MSSQL CE working with VS.NET. 3. Why wouldn't this new file be named RC2 Slipstream releases are never a good idea, as they just add confusion. Thanks for any input. Dan Tag: Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

Backup and restore of mdf database Hi, I've got a following problem: I have a VB 2005 application that uses SQL Server 2005 Express as DB engine. This application has it's own database stored in mdf file, e.g. invoices.mdf with corresponding log file. I'd like to give users opportunity to backup and restore this DB file from this application (there won't be a system administrator, only end-users). Unfortunatelly after I connect to this database (using user instance of SQL Server), I'm unable to read or copy it, despite the fact, that I close all connections. And I'm sure that all connections are closed. Database files become accessible for reading after I close the whole application. I've tried to detach this database using sp_detach_db prcedure, but it can't be done with database I'm connected to. I will be grateful for any help.

SQL Agent jobs hanging Periodically I have different SQL jobs (which run a DTS packages) that are scheduled to run daily and one or two will hang. Notifications are setup to send out email to certain personnel as well as write to the event log it the job fails. The problem is, is that, because it hangs no notification is sent out becuase it hasn't failed and sometimes takes days before anyone notices that the job is no longer running. Once it is discovered, I stop the job and then it starts to run on its daily schedule without problems. How do I set up a job notification for a hung job Or better yet, is there a way to kill the job after it runs for a set period of tile like I can do with a sheduled task Any help will be appreciated.

How? Sharing configuration info among packages The scenario is an ETL that takes flat file feeds via FTP to move data into varous production SQL server databases nightly. There are a number of packages involved, and this depends upon the type of data being sent. There are a set number of servers and databases to receive the transformed data. I would like to be able to define say 3 servers, and maybe a couple of databases in each one time in the configuration. For simplicity lets say 6 databases total. I would like a single point of maintenance for these 6 locations. I would like all connection managers in all packages in all solutions to share these 6 settings in all connection managers. Is this possible From my initial attempts, it would appear each package gets its own independent list of connection managers and which must be configured separately. I don't see how to share settings, which is really where the power of SSIS configurations would be. Similarly, I would like to be able to locate flat files at given paths. The package may know the name of the file it is looking for, or the file it will create, and the folder path needs to be computed from a configured folder root, and for the package connection manager to store only the name of the file, which never changes. I can not see how to set something like this up with connection managers and configurations. Perhaps I still need a highly customized solution to achieve this, as we did for DTS, where we would only execute packages using our own executor, which would load the package, search out all environment specific settings and modify them on the fly prior to executing the package. Thanks for any direction you can give here. The books I've read seem to imply I might be able to do what I need here, but I can't seem to find the mechanics of making it happen.

check sql server edition is there a way to get the edition(e.g. sqlexpress,enterprise etc...) of an installed sql server instance in your local machine programatically Tag: Dropdown won't show values if only one item is availableI have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio.

When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item.

Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue:
http://docs.google.com/View docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5

If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not rendering correctly. I can view source on the page and see that the dropdown has a value.

What appears to be happening is the if only 1 item is in the second dropdown and that item is longer than the size of the dropdown, the dropdown won't render.

Here is my value for the second dropdown '012 Candy Gadler David Thapero'. This is the only value in the second dropdown. - You can try 35 chars or more in the dropdown to confirm.

Notes:
+ No special chars are in either dropdown
+ I am using IE 7 (Also had someone test this on IE 6 - same problem)
+ Using Visual Studio 2005 to build report - where this works fine

Work around:
+ If I add another item to the dropdown via a UNION query, I see the original value + the new item in the dropdown #2

Please share your thoughts
Thanks,

Weird, because I cannot make that happen. I created two dropdowns with items that are each way longer than yours, the second one is dependent on the first and has only one item, and I don't get that scrollbar in the dropdown, the page just becomes wide enough for the dropdowns and I have to scroll the whole page across to see the second dropdown, but it displays fine. I tried it in Report Manager, then I tried it in the Report Viewer and there it also works although it looks a little different. Instead of the whole report getting wider, just the parameters section gets wider, so I have to scroll it, but again the dropdown is full width.

I'm using Reporting Services 2005 with SP1.|||Are your parameters Multi-value Try making them multi-value. Your assistance is appreciated.|||SNMSDN

Haha - that's it, if it's multivalue I cannot see the single value either.
