"The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."

Hi,
I'm having a few problems with getting SQL RS running and wondered
whether anyone could give me some help.
I have just installed RS and have never got into the Report Manager
yet. I think it is basically an IIS permissions problem as I am
getting a page that says "The request failed with HTTP status 401:
Unauthorized." whenever I try to get to
http://reporting.[domain].com/Reports, even if I add myself to the
domain Administrators group. I have all of the IIS settings as they
are specified in documentation.
My setup: Reporting Services SP2, IIS6, Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server
2000, installed on a non-default website following instructions on
SQLJunkies.com by Trent Miesner(although I'm pretty sure this isn't the
problem).
Thanks in advance,
SamJust check if this helps

"SQL Server Registation failed

hi! at first, am having problem with sql server registration.
Am getting the following msg when trying to do sql server
registration :
"SQL Server Registation failed ....
SQL Server does not exist or access denied
ConnectionOpen(Connect())"
After reading through the related discussions posted to this
workgroup. I'm able to create an alias and added in the sql
server registration to the sql server successfully.
Now the problem is that for that SQL server, it's becoming
very slow when i try to browse through the items in the
enterprise manager until it's stop responding.
It's even faster to access that sql
server through another server(with sql installed also) which
i added in the server registration and access it remotely.
Any idea what's wrong with that server? Thks!
"SQL Server Registation failed ....
SQL Server does not exist or access denied
ConnectionOpen(Connect())"
If I understand your question correctly, you are saying that when you open
SQL Enterprise Manager on one Client1 and connect to Server1, it browses
extremely slowly. However if you open Enterprise Manager on Client2 and
connect to Server1, everything is fine. If this is true, then this could be
an issue with your client1 machine (and not the server).
You should check -
1. What other apps are running on Client1. Is there some type of memory
pressure causing this behavior?
2. Is there a possible network problem between Client1 and Server1? If this
is the case then most likely you will see erratic behavior at other times
and with other apps connecting to SQL also.
If you still suspect that it is your server that is slow, you could run
Profiler trace on Server1 to see what happens when you open the SQL
Enterprise Manager on Client1 (as opposed to Client2)

"ODBCcall failed" Error

Hi!
It has been weeks now that I have been trying to fix an error that I
encounter everytime it gets to the code at runtime:

SQLStmt = "SELECT Sum([Quantity in Stock]) As TotalInStock,
Sum([Cost] * [Quantity in Stock]) AS TotalCost " & _
"FROM [Inventory Products] WHERE [Item
Number] = '" & ItemNum & "'"

Set InvP = CurDB.OpenRecordset(SQLStmt, DB_OPEN_DYNASET) '
==>it gets the error here

I tried also to implement the same code using ADODB but still go the same
error: "ODBC--call failed".
There are other events where similar code is executed without any problems
at all.
Any guidance would be helpful.

ThanksBen,

The error is not very intuitive. You might want to try a SQL Trace and an
ODBC trace to get more information. Profiler has an Errors and Warnings /
Exception event you can trace, and the following link will show you how to
set up an ODBC trace:

It would be interesting to see a little more of the code. How you set
up the command and so. Particularly when you do it with ADO. (Since I know
ADO better this other thing (DAO?)).

Have you extracted what is in SQLStmt an tried to run that in Query
Analyzer? Maybe there is some simple error?

Also, an advice on how you get ItemNum into the query string. Most APIs
support parameterised commands, for instance ADO does. Parameterised
is much simpler to use than interpolated strings, and it protexts you
against SQL Injection. It also uses the query cache in SQL Server better.

"Logon failed" when attempting to connect to cube.

Greetings. I am brand new to SRS, so please bear with me. I'm trying to
create a Report Model in SRS 2005 against an Analysis Services 2005 cube. I
am an admin on the AS box. I am using this tutorial:
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/rptsrvr9/html/8e5d2bd3-48ec-45f3-afee-6d86797c8f28.htm
I set up the data source, then I hit "generate model". I type in my model
name, hit "OK", and get the "Logon failed (rsLogonFailed)" message. I am
using "credentials supplied by the user running the report" dialog box with
the "Use as Windows..." checkbox checked. For good measure I have even added
myself to a cube Role with admin privelages. Alos, I can in fact browse and
manipulate the cube.
Any ideas?
TIA, ChrisRHi
I think the issue here is not the users priviliges in SSAS , rather
the priviliges in SSRS. Try using report manager to configure
permissions for the user in question .
Cheers
Shai

"Login Failed" for SQL Express

Whenever I try to connect to my SQL Express Database with C# code,(.net 2.0), it says "Login failed for user 'TUser'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."

But I can connect with SQL Express Manager.

I've heard somewhere this is a SQL authentication problem, I didn't enable it during installation.

So is there a way to fix this? How can I enable SQL authentication without uninstalling it?

Is there anyone to help me?

"Login failed for user" error

hi ppl,
I'm having trouble connecting to my database using ASP.NET
I have been getting the error below whenever i try open the connection using connection.open using vb.net

I have this error in when using plain text editor as and even using
the visual studio.nets data tools (sqlconnection,sqldataadapter tool.)
The strange thing is that i can easily preview the data in any table in northwind db using the connections i've created in the solution explorer using visual studio.net.

This is the connection string created by visual studio.net (i also tried to use this connectionstring manually in code)
"initial catalog=Northwind;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;workstation id=COMPI;packet size=4096"

Here is the error (same error for plain text and vs.net):

can someone help pls
Im using sql server 7 sp3, windows xp pro.I may have miss read this so let me restate your problem.

You have an application thaat can view and access data in the NorthWind DB but not the DB your app is written for. If that is true then it sounds like your userid "ASPNET" needs to be granted access to the db in question as well as execute or Select/Delete/Update permissions of all needed objects.|||How do i do what ur saying, is it from SQL server or using Windows XP.
I have just installed sql server and havent done any changes to permission or account (not sure how)?|||Use Enterprise Manager

Open your server, expand Security and then click on Users. right click on your UserID and select properties. Under the Database Access tab click on the Permit check box next to your database. Under the Permit in Database Role, you will want to select public, and probably db_datareader/datawrite OR you can open things up a bit and select db_owner, but I wouldn't use it for very long.

Books Online covers this very well.

"Login failed for user" error

Hi

I have installed sql server on my standalone PC.

I used "window and sql mix authentication" for the sql server in the enterprise manager set up.
when I try to use the sql server login name for the startup service account, I have this error. "No Mapping between names and security IDs ".
So Even though I use mix authentication, I am still using window login name.

Then I create the DSN file.

But when I run the ASP program, I have this error "login fail for user-("user name that I used for dsn file configuration").

I try to configure the dsn file set up with both authentications, windows and sql login names.

But I got the error again.

I am really lost here.
Please help me. thanks...What's your connection string?|||when I try to use the sql server login name for the startup service account, I have this error. "No Mapping between names and security IDs ".

You cannot use a sql server login for the service accounts, these need to be windows accounts (domain or local user, or system account). The mixed authentication only applies to logins to the server.

"Login failed for user MyPC/ASPNET"

Hi

I created my DB in SQL 2005 Express in VS IDE. I have my app in IIS. When I try to use the DB (e.g. try to login a user in the app) it gives me the following error:

Cannot open database "cvRepository" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'MyPC\ASPNET'.

My guess was that I had to give permissions to ASPNET user so I did in SQL Server Management. Still not working! Checked my Connection string and I think it's fine...

connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=cvRepository;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

Still not working!

Can anyone explain me what's wrong and to solve this?!

Try replacing Database=cvRepository withAttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|cvRepository.mdfin your connectionString.

Hope this helps.

Mike

|||Do you have a database namedcvRepositoryon your SQL server? Or you're using a database file attached at runtime? Anyways you have to ensure the ASPNET account has login permission to the SQL server, as well as access permissions on the required database.|||

Hi

Tried using the AttachDBFileName but nothing:

<

addname="cvRepositoryConnectionString"connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|cvrepository.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />I don't understand much of this but I'll shoot out something... When running the app in debug mode (http://localhost:2431/cvRepository/Default.aspx) it creates an instance of the SQL Server but when not doing so (http://localhost/cvRepository/Default.aspx) it doesn't, that's why I can't access the DB. Is this correct? If so, how to solve it?

Any explanation/article would be helpful!

Thx

|||Try to add the ASPNET login to a member ofsysadminordbcreatorserver role.|||

Hi

Instead of using User Instances I defined a particular user to access the DB. Used this:

"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server" using sql server express and vwde. why?

I've set up a website on another computer using sql server express and visual web developer express, and it works as expected. However halfway through the development i've had to move to another computer. I installed visual web developer express + sql server express, and copied the project files across, but now when I attempt to run it I get the error:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to afailure in starting the process for the user instance. The connectionwill be closed.

I've tried reinstalling the software and it doesn't help. Any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?

thanks

How to fix it is covered in the link below change the configuration. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I changed the built in account to 'local system' in the SQL server configuration manager, and deleted my SQLEXPRESS folder, then restarted the computer, but the same thing is happening. Is there anything else I need to do to fix this?

thanks for your help

I am sorry you error sent me on the wrong track because moving a database created in one box and moving it to another is not a simple copying files over. That is the reason the solution I gave you did not fix your problem so delete the folder. When you are moving your database to a new computer you need to do it manually through code like the second link below. You need to check your access permissions to the new computer and follow the guide created by Microsoft in the second link if the forum posting in the first link below did not fix your problem. Hope this helps.

"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server" - Redux

I have SQL Server 2005 SP1 Dev Edition installed on my laptop along with Visual Web Developer 2005. I installed SQL Server Express 2005 SP1. I then created a new web site using the Club Web Site template.

I did the recommended initial build to get the Membership database installed and got an error page (http://localhost:1667/WebSitesVB2/):

SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

There were 4 recomme4ndations from the error page. I have met three of them: (1) the AppDaa folder that was created when I used the Club Web Site template; (2) my machine's ASPNET user set up with full control permissions on the APP Data Folder; (3) SQL Server Express successfully installed on my machine.

The 4th recommendation from the error page is "The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts. ". I have no idea of how to do this or how/where to find the elusive the "readme" file.

I am at a loss as to what to do next. I have spent the day going over forums on this error and none seem to provide consistent or relevant answers.

Try to remove User Instance=true from your connection string, if you don't need to generate a user instance at runtime. For more information about the user instance attribute, you can refer to:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring(VS.80).aspx|||

Changed userinstance = TRUE to userinstance=FALSE. Same result - failure to generate userinstance.

Is it possible that there is some setting in VWD that provides a connection string for the ASPNET db that is to be created? The only connection string in the WebConfig from the original template is the one for the ClubSite DB. There is none for the ASPNET db (because the template does not provide the ASPNET DB.

After 2 tries, I still get this error and when I look at the database explorer, there is only one DB file: Club.MDF.

Anyone else have any answers?

I probably should have included this stack trace:

"DROP INDEX failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT

Hi,
I've got a big import routine that brings a lot of data in raw tables into
another database - the routine is about 2000 lines long. I have a DTS
package that first brings the data in from CSV files and other sources, then
it runs this sproc to bring the data into the other database, then finally
it truncates the logs, and shrinks the databases. In the sproc, I EXEC a
sproc in the target database which drops all indexes on the target database,
start a transaction, bring all of the data in, then EXEC another sproc on
the target database to recreate the indexes again. Like I said, it's a
monster! :)
This sproc worked flawlessly for about six months, but now when I run the
DTS package it fails on the sproc step with the error mentioned in the
Subject line. The table on which this is failing has a clustered unique
index and 8 other standard indexes, but there are no indexes on calculated
columns or indexed views or anything like that. I am able to run the sproc
on the data from Query Analyzer with no errors, and I have tried DROPping
INDEXes with ARITHABORT on and ARITHABORT off, with no complaints.
Can anybody help out with this?
Thanks, JimDo you have any hypothetical indexes created by the ITW ?
select * from sysindexes where name like 'hind_%'
If you have no "real" indexes on computed columns or views its woeth
dropping any hypothetical ones and seeing it that helps
It may be worth explicitly setting the correct set options in your sproc
anyway to be on the safe side
set ANSI_PADDING,ANSI_WARNINGS,
CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL,ARITHABORT,
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER,ANSI_NULLS on
set NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT off

"Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."

This is probably a simple wuestion but i would appreciate some help

I am trying to get and insert theuserId into a table called "Orders"

I got the user id as

Dim CustomerId As Object = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey.ToString

The button on click command is

worldshop.ShoppingCart.CreateOrder(CustomerId,...................

The Function Has the parameter for Customer Id as follows

Dim dbParam_CustomerId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_CustomerId.ParameterName = "@.CustomerId"
dbParam_CustomerId.Value = CustomerId
dbParam_CustomerId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String
command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_CustomerId)

When i run this I am getting the error message

"Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong

many thanks

Martin

What type is CustomerID defined as in the database? It sounds like it is NOT a string, but rather a uniqueidentifier (a GUID).|||

thanks for your reply. i got it sorted out

martin

|||Do you mind sharing with us what your solution was? as I am having the same problem...|||

I'll check and get back to you

martin

|||

sorry about the delay in getting back to you

I was having the same problem. I solved it by instantiating the userid as an object

Dim userId As Object = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey

i passed the object to the function as a guid

ByVal userId As Guid
Dim dbParam_userId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_userId.ParameterName = "@.UserId"
dbParam_userId.Value = userId
dbParam_userId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.Guid
command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_userId)

last i put the guid into the database as char 36

@.UserId char (36)

"cannot open user default database. Login failed"

When attempting to connect to my local instance of SQL server I am getting t
his error message: "cannot open user default database. Login failed".
My OS is WinXp v2002 SP2. This issue started after I deleted a database on
my local server, prior to that it was working fine.
ThanksIt looks like you deleted the database that was the default database for
your login. One method to fix the problem is to connect using the OSQL
command-line utility, overriding the default database. You can then change
the default DB to one that exists.
The example below connects to the local server with SQL authentication and
changes the default database to 'master':
OSQL -d master -U MyLogin -P MyPassword -Q"EXEC sp_defaultdb 'MyLogin'
,'master'"

It looks like you deleted the database that was the default database for
your login. One method to fix the problem is to connect using the OSQL
command-line utility, overriding the default database. You can then change
the default DB to one that exists.
The example below connects to the local server with SQL authentication and
changes the default database to 'master':
OSQL -d master -U MyLogin -P MyPassword -Q"EXEC sp_defaultdb 'MyLogin'
