AdventureWorks Samples Not working

I've installed and deployed the AdventureWorks Sample reports to Report
Manager in RS 2005. When I click on any of the reports, the report just
spins away and never returns the report information. I eventually (10
minutes later) just stop the browser. I made sure I have permissions to all
the data sources as well. Has anyone else had this problem or know where I
can look to see where the report(s) are hanging?
System Information:
Windows XP Pro
IIS 5.x
SQL Server 2005 Std.
VS 2005 Pro

get the sample to work with no problem. Strangely also, when I use VS2005 to
deploy and open the Samples folder, I can click on a sample report and it
works as expected. Only when I go to http://localhost/reports/home.aspx ->
AdventureWorks Samples -> Sample report does it just spin away.

AdventureWorks OLAP Cubes samples missing

Hi there,

I am setting up a demo with Scorecard Manager 2005. After days of struggle, the installation seems to be fine, I can publish all the two dimensional scorecards. But the sample AdventureWorks OLAP cubes do not seem to be accessible or they don't exist - to be more exact, Scorecard Manager is able to log on to the SQL Server database called AdventureWorksDW, but cannot find any cubes.

I downloaded the latest SQL Server 2005 samples here and followed all the instructions to the letter. I did not get any errors while deoplying the AdventureWorks solution in the Business Intelligence Development Studio. One concern related to the samples is that the AdventureWorksAS sample is not available. I thought that the DW database is used there, am I wrong?

I think that I'm missing some key element in deploying the sample OLAP cubes. Is there a way to check that they are made correctly? What application do I best use to peform this check?

I am running Server 2003, SP1, SQL Server 2005 SP1 with Analysis/Reporting/Integration services installed, SharePoint Server 2003 SP2 (all applications are running fine so far on it).

Thank you very much, Radu

PS: I just discovered and error posted by the Event Viewer. It seems that the system admin does not have authority to view ADOMD sources. How can I debug this error? This is a demo setup on a virtual PC so I gave all authorities to Admin from the initial setup and the AdventureWorksDW database exists (the Scorecard Manager app. does find the database, but cannot see any cubes and this is when the error shows up in the Event Viewer).

Here are the error details:

Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException: Either the user, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, does not have access to the Adventure Works DW database, or the database does not exist.
at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.XmlaClientProvider.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdConnection+IXmlaClientProviderEx.Discover(String requestType, IDictionary restrictions, Boolean throwOnErrors, Boolean sendNamespaceCompatibility)
at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdConnection.GetProperty(String propName)
at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdConnection.SetProperty(String propertyName, String propValue)

at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.Server.OlapUtils.GetCubeNames(String databaseName)
at Microsoft.PerformanceManagement.Scorecards.Server.PmServer.GetCubeNames(DataSource dataSource)

I figured it out: there seems to be a mistake in the Scorecard Manager 2005 OLAP cubes samples' settings (the Adventure Works DW samples available here). If you open a scorecard's Data Source (in the Scorecard Builder), you need to erase any Database Roles. The samples come with 'All Users' set, but trying 'Reader' only for example, which is what is needed based on installation instructions, does not work.

Thanks to Ian Tien's site; I downloaded his Adventure Works DW samples, which are based on the 10 Analysis Services' tutorial cubes, and looked at his scorecard's configuration.

I guess this message is more for a Scorecard Manager 2005 board, but I couldn't find one on this MSDN forum site. But Analysis Services are inseparable from Scorecard, so I hope it helps someone.

ADP and Sql server

hey
I m new to this and i dont know how to create adp project using access and sql server.
actually what i hv heard from my manager that we gonna create the front end in access and backend in sql server 2000.
I dont know from where to start reading abt it. if any body has good links or book plz send me.
thx in advance.It's not too difficult. Just open access and create a new database, selecting Access Data Project as the type.
An ADP file has all the forms, reports, macros, and modules that you would expect from an Access database, but all the data is stored on the server.|||To be fair, if you are new to relational databases, Access and SQL Server then it is a steep learning curve from now on in.

Step #1 before you do anything - get some sort of feel for relational database design by reading this closely:
http://www.r937.com/relational.html|||And just so you know, you don't have to create an ADP; an MDB will work fine with SQL Server. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Personally, I continue to use MDB's with it, and Microsoft itself seems to have moved away from ADP's (or at least not pushed them forward).|||What? You would use linked tables over an ADP design?

I'm trying to think of any way that linked tables would be a better implementation than ADP, but I'm not coming up with much...

Also, please support your statement that MS is moving away from ADPs. I've not heard anything about this.|||Blindman, I have a great deal of respect for you and your opinion. I didn't say linked tables were better, I simply said that you did not HAVE to use an ADP with SQL Server, and I said there were advantages and disadvantages to each. As to your question about whether I would use them, I not only would, I do.

I can quote several Access MVP's on the topic (and perhaps should have disclosed that I am one myself), but here's the first I found from a highly respected MVP on another site, Pat Hartman:

the .adp is being phased out. I would recommend not creating new applications in the .adp format. Unlike the .adp, Access .mdb's can be used just as effectively as front ends to ANY back end database for which there is an ODBC driver. The limitations of the .adp are too restrictive and SQL Server centric. The format has not been widely adoped and so there is no big push to enhance the feature. The .adp will still be supported in Access 12 when it is released but no enhancements have been made. In fact, although existing .adp's will be able to use SQL Server 2005, they will not be able to create new databases through the Access GUI as they can with older versions of SQL Server.

If you like I can find others, but suffice it to say that there are many respected people who do not like ADP's. There are also many other respected people, such as yourself, who do. Again, my main point was simply to point out that it was not a requirement to use an ADP, but an option. I apologize if it came off otherwise.|||I can quote several Access MVP's on the topic (and perhaps should have disclosed that I am one myself)Paul - is this recent? I don't remember this from the first time I came across you a year or two ago - I checked you out then after a few very positive references and would have thought I would have noted it.|||FWIW I exclusively use MDB\Es too as I prefer the flexibility they allow. I can appreciate that ADPs might be easier and more intuitive (though not for me) and they do go some way to providing an all-in-one GUI. (and perhaps I should disclose that I am not an MVP myself :))|||pbaldy, thanks for supplying the quote from Pat Hartman. If what he says is true, I am most disappointed. I found ADPs to be much more convenient and much more efficient than linked tables. As a rapid application development platform for SQL Server, ADP files could not be beat.
By the way, I wan't being accusatory in my post. Sometimes, when I say "Please support your statement", I really am just looking for more information. The rude jerk persona I exude is really just an act. Like Paris Hilton's stupidity, you know...|||Paul - is this recent?

No...it's been over a week now! :p

Blindman, no offense taken here. If I can't come up with some backup for something I say, I shouldn't say it in the first place. By the way, just saw this post elsewhere this morning, from author/MVP John Viescas:

If you're using a Project file (.adp) the answer is no. For what it's
worth, Microsoft has given up on Project files. No enhancements in V12, and
I suspect the feature will be deprecated in VNext. Microsoft now admits
that the best front end to an SQL Server database in an mdb file using
linked tables. When you do that, you can have local tables and also link to
other databases - Oracle or MySQL.|||Please bare with me, what the finaly decision is that its better to link the tables and keep Access as an MDB rather then turn them into an ADP?? Is this correct??|||Well, personally, I would strongly disagree.
Linked tables are more difficult to manage and less efficient than using an ADP application.
With ADP, all the code is executed at the server. While with MDB linked tables they code may or may not be issued as a pass-through sql statement. If Access is unable to construct the pass-through statement it will suck the data from database over your network and perform the calculation locally. You can bet that will be slow.
With an ADP file you have one link to the source database, and that is it. And it is very easy to redirect that link to a different source. With MDB files every external object must be linked separately.|||MDB = more flexibility but requires more sophisticated coding (read expertise and coding hours) to be truly efficient.
ADP = easier to use (especially if you are more familiar with SQL Server) but is less flexible. Easier to leverage SSs power. I know an ADP cannot conntect to two instances simultaneously (hence less flexible). Is it also the same with SS dbs?

No...it's been over a week now! :p Congratulations Paul. I know you only flirt with posting over here but I have heard that you have built up a superb reputation over at ... er... the other site and your MVPship is well earned. :)|||I think asking which is better is like asking whether a sports car or pickup truck is better. They're different animals. They each have pros and cons, and which is better for you depends on your situation and needs.

Thanks pootle. I actually visit here a lot, it's just that there are a lot of very strong users here, and most of the questions are already answered by the time I see them. If you guys would leave me some scraps, I'd post more. :cool:|||If you guys would leave me some scraps, I'd post more. :cool:

Yeah, right..|||Yeah, right..

I'm not quite sure how to take that. Have I offended you in some way?|||No, not at all...it's more of a reference to the fact that the posts get answered to quickly..and that you would answer if they weren't already answered...hence my response

The core here are sort of addicted

And I doubt anyone in the Core would ever get offende...by anything

We usually get amused|||Well, I didn't say too quickly, I simply said they were answered by the time I saw them. It was meant to be a compliment to the other users here.|||Yup -

ADO Connection, Enterprise Manager and table locks?

Does it make sense that when I run a Select query in Enterprise Manager (not
query analyzer) an application (using an ADO connection) may not be able to
update that same table at the same time?
Could it be that the Enterprise Manager locks that table at the moment the
query's being run? The problem doesn't occur when I run the query with query
analyzer.
Thanks.Enterprise Mangler does indeed set some locks and hold them as long as you
have the query results open in a window. Query Analyzer just gets the data
and releases the locks.
Enterprise Mangler should NOT be used to query data (or even just look at
the contents of tables) on a production server.
Use Query Analyzer for queries.

In spite of all it's pointy-clicky-makes-SQL-look-like-Excel goodness,
Enterprise Manager should not be used to access your data. Aside from
locking problems, it's far too easy to type something into the data
grid, resulting in modified data in your table. Stick to Query Analyzer
and write your own queries...

Administrator with No Report Manager Privileges

I am logged on as a user with administrative privileges to
my machine, to the machine housing the report server
database, and to the the web server, yet when I go to
Report Manager, I do not have access to the Home folder,
only one lower folder, and no Site Settings for anything.
How do I add the necessary privileges if I'm already the
administrator?I found that if you have set the Report Server virtual directory to allow
anonymous access in the IIS mgmt console, you may find yourself in the
situation you described. I was experimenting with anonymous and got into the
situation, where I was a local admin but options like create new folders and
upload files were all gone from Report Manager. After I removed anonymous
access, I was able to fully administer Reporting Services via Report Manager
again.

user. Since that user does not have any role assignments in the report
server, they cannot see any folders, nor can they perform operations.
We recommend that you do not use anonymous access to the report server, but
enable windows secuirty.

There is another thread on this same issue. I wonder whether you know why
setting anonymous access would result in this behavior, and whether there is
a way to retain both the admin privileges for the local admin and anonymous
access.

Allowing anonymous access means all users will be seen as the same user, the
server won't even ask them to provide their authentication information.
You can't have both anonymous and non anonymous on the same virtual
directories. I presume you could create two virtual directories one allowing
anonymous access, the other not.

Could you please elaborate how you can create two virtual directories and
work the way you described, when it comes to Reporting Services?

Administrator cannot see administration toolbar, buttons and shortcuts on Report Manager

Hy everybody.

I have recently installed from scratch RS 2003 on a WIN2003 SRV and got that the problem that the administrator cannot access or even see the regular administration toolbar and links at the Report Manager, such as Site Configuration, Upload New File, the common 'Contents | Properties ' tab, among other stuff. The only options available are 'Home', 'My Subscriptions' and 'Help', in the right superior link bar. I find this behaviour very strange, since the RS comes right out of the box configured with full access to administrator, but right now I CAN'T do any administration task on the RS Server.

Another strange behaviours I've found:
- The few links that appear redirect to the internal ip address of the server.
- When you call the '/ReportServer/ReportingService.asmx' it returns an XML document, not the usual browsing interface.

There's some information about the server configuration I think it might help:
- IIS is running more than one website, and the RS server is not installed on the Default WebSite, wich is stopped.
- SharePoint Services is running in the server, but not in the DefaultWebSite.
- The security settings of the virtual directory of the Report Manager are configured to use Windows Authentication and are NOT configured to use anonymous authentication.
- The server is published to the Internet.

There's some stuff that I tried and for now didn't worked:
- Create the virtual directories in other websites.
- Switch the attributes of the 'impersonate' attribute in Web.config file between true and false.
- Enable anonymous authentication and use the administrator account to impersonate.
- The steps described in the help article 'Troubleshooting a Side-by-Side Installation of Reporting Services and Windows SharePoint Services'
- Reinstalling the RS product.

I really hope you guys can help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
JCAlthough you said your Report Manager is configured for WIndows auth, is your Report Server directory the same way? Anonymous is not on either one?

Administration Of Reporting Services

Books online talk about a report manager page to monitor and administrator running job, subscriptions etc...

But I use Reporting Servcies in sharepoint administration mode? Where do I go to see something similiar?

Thanks

Try putting the url below into an Internet Explorer address bar and click on go. It should pull up Report Manager for you.

For default SQL Server instances use this:

http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx <-- substitute your web server name for localhost

For named SQL Server instances use this:

http://localhost/reports$InstanceName/Pages/Folder.aspx <-- substitued your web server name for localhost and your SQL Server instance name for InstanceName

|||

This do not work becuase as soon as you run in sharepoint integrated mode, you loose the report manager functionality. Actually, an error is returned if you try to navigate to that page.

Administering MSDE with Enterprise Manager

Can I administer SQL 2000 MSDE Release A from SQL Server's Enterprise
Manager (EM) located on another machine on the same network?
When I try to do this the EM setup wizard locates the host running MSDE but
it cannot connect either with Windows authentication or the strong password
created during MSDE's install.
EM can see other instances of SQL Server 2000 on the network (these are not
MSDE).
MSDE is running on XP (SP1) and EM is running on W2K workstation.
Many thanks.
Even if you can figure out your connectivity problem, it's probably not
legal anyway. From the Appropriate Uses of MSDE FAQ at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/msdeuse.asp:
Q. Can I use SQL Server tools and services in conjunction with MSDE?
A. You can only use SQL Server tools and services in conjunction with
MSDE if you acquired MSDE through SQL Server 2000 (Developer Edition,
Standard Edition, or Enterprise Edition), and if you are using MSDE in
conjunction with a properly licensed copy of SQL Server 2000. Visit the How
to Buy page for information on obtaining a valid SQL Server license.
Note: The tools and services included with SQL Server Developer
Edition may not be used to manage production server environments.
The following utilities are installed by the MSDE setup application
and are provided without restrictions for use with the copy of MSDE that is
installed by your application: bcp.exe, cnfgsvr.exe, dcomscm.exe, osql.exe,
sqlmaint.exe, sqlmangr.exe, scm.exe, sqladhlp.exe, and svrnetcn.exe. The
dtsrun.exe utility is also provided, but can only be used to run existing
Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages against the copy of MSDE
installed by your application; it cannot be used to develop new DTS
packages.
There's not enough information in your post to determine whether or not it's
legal, but in the vast majority of instances it's not and I'm told that it
requires a room full of lawyers and white board to figure out. There are a
bunch of 3rd-party tools out there that might be of use. Have a look at
Aaron's list at http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2442.

|||Thanks. I think it is an authentication issue rather than a 'property
rights' issue. This is because:
1) I just installed the same version of MSDE on a W98SE machine and was able
to register it successfully with the copy of 'Enterprise manager';
2) I just deleted the XP 'atempted' registration and tried to re-register
it. The dialog "Register SQL Server Messages" returns the error:
"SVR1 - Registration failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a
trusted SQL server connection"
Any idea how to make this Server connection trusted?

|||Hi Andrew,
This message means you don't have Mixed Mode authentication enabled. If you
do have enterprise manager connected, you can change this easily by looking
under the "security" tab in the properties of the server. (Right-click the
server to get to it). You need mixed mode before you can use "sa" or any sql
server username.

SETUP SAPWD="wombat" created 'Windows Only Authentication'. A registry tweak
changed it to mixed, and then I could log on. Not sure exactly why Windows
authentication failed except that the admin name and pwd were different on
the MSDE machine from those on the machine that I was connecting from.

|||Hi Andrew,
This message means you don't have Mixed Mode authentication enabled. If you
do have enterprise manager connected, you can change this easily by looking
under the "security" tab in the properties of the server. (Right-click the
server to get to it). You need mixed mode before you can use "sa" or any sql
server username.

SETUP SAPWD="wombat" created 'Windows Only Authentication'. A registry tweak
changed it to mixed, and then I could log on. Not sure exactly why Windows
authentication failed except that the admin name and pwd were different on
the MSDE machine from those on the machine that I was connecting from.

Admin Version of WITH(UPDLOCK)?

Is there anything I can do from the Enterprise Manager console or from
within a JDBC connection to achieve the same effect as WITH(UPDLOCK)?

Yes, I could change all of my SQL statements to include the lock... but
isn't there any way to set or tweak something in SQL Server so that I won't
have to hack a lot of code* to make things concurrent? Perhaps a way to set
UPDLOCK as the default behaviour for the server, or schema, or table, or
something?

You can use SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL to change the default isolation
level for the transaction. However, UPDLOCK does not map to an isolation
level, and in any case I don't think you would want that lock on every
SELECT statement. Maybe you can tell us a little more on what you want to
achieve?

Right now I'd be happy with even a minimal level of concurrency from SQL
Server via multiple JDBC connections. :-(

The code/SQL we're using works like a charm when stress- / load-tested
against multiple users / threads under Oracle, Derby, MySQL, etc. but
deadlocks constantly and consistently under SQL Server.

So far WITH(UPDLOCK) doesn't seem to be doing much. Neither does
selectMethod=cursor. I'm not a DBA, so I figure there must be something I'm
not doing right (or not doing at all).

Either that, or every other SQL database on the planet is a *LOT* more
forgiving and/or better equipped to deal with deadlocks than SQL Server is.
More than happy at this point to be proved completely wrong. ;-)

Different DB-engines have different architectures, and what works well on
one engine may not work well on another, even if the code as such is
portable.

Since you did not include any information of what you are actually doing,
it's impossible to assist further.

admin tool for MSDE?

What admin tools are developers using for MSDE applications? If SQL Server
Enterprise Manager is unavailable and the Web Access tool is just too
clunky, what else is popular?
Thanks,

My favourite (if EM is not applicable) is QALite which is a really cool tool
for scripting and other things, just try this.

Admin rights to Report Manager disappeared...?

Hi,
Out of the blue I have lost administration rights to RS Report Manager. I
can no longer access several reports (others do work). When I connect to the
Report Manager the GUI is displayed, but I can't access all of the usual tabs
(ie. under the properties tab I can only see the 'General' and 'Security'
options, nothing else.)
I've tried accessing Report Manager via a client with domain admin rights
and via the RS server with local admin rights still the same problem...
Can anybody get me started on troubleshooting?
Kind Regards,
Casey.Casey,
I had this same problem...everything worked fine and then out of the
blue I couldn't update reports, deploy new reports, log into Report
Manager. I discovered that in Computer Management console when I Right
clicked on Default Web Site and went into Properties, then Directory
Security, then clicked on Anonymous Access and Authentication control,
and clicked the Edit button, that I did have Anonymous Access set.
When I tried to remote into that web server and perform changes I was
getting logged in as the anonymous user account with the limited rights
I gave that account. After hours when I'm working on the web server
now, I turn the anonymous option off, Restart IIS and do my
work...finally with the proper rights.
I hope this helps...
Jeff

Admin Performance Issues, Large amount of DBs

I have a large amout of dbs (150) on my SQL Server and when using the enterprise manager to do administrational tasks like Backup, Restore etc. it takes 1.5 hour to open the Database folder. Server is 2xP4, 3Gb RAM. Any ideas on how to manage this number of dbs on the same server and instance of SQL.
Cheers!Use scripts ?

-PatP|||If you can run utilities on server itself, register server as "(LOCAL)" which is local named pipes. Also make sure "Enable shared memory protocol" is checked in Client Network Utility on server.

Otherwise if you can not use server console to run utilities make sure you use TCP/IP protocol.

Hans.

Admin password

After I changed my admin password in Windows, my SQL Server Service Manager
(i.e. the Agent) no longer starts up. How do I fix this?
Go to the Services and changes to Service Account the MSSQL Server and the
Agent logs in, then tr to start up the services as usual, that will work. If
you dont need any access to the network with the SQL Server Services you
can also change the securty settings to LocalService Account.
But keep the following quote from MS in mind: "Security Note The
LocalSystem account has elevated local privileges. Enable delegation using a
domain user account whenever possible."
