"Version 2.0 Is Not A Compatible Version"

When using VS2003 and Reporting Services 2005, I am met with the following
compilation error after creating a dataset then trying to design it:
"Version 2.0 Is Not A Compatible Version"
I cant drag any tools to the design surface, or add any fields. I have both
SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services as well as 2005.
Anyone have a hint on how I can remedy this?
Here is the stack:

do not want.

"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server datab

Hi

My project is in .NET 2003 i.e. framework 1.1 and database in SQLServer 2000. But the reports have been developed using SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services. Now when I am trying to deploy them through deployment project of .NET its giving me following error:

"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.

Now I am really confused with this. Can any one please guide me regarding this ASAP.

Thanks,

Falguni

You will need to use the SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services or upgrade to SQL Server 2005. SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 requires SQL 2005 (Express Edition does not count either)|||

hi vcsjones,

Thanks for the reply...

Actually I m trying this with reporting services of SQL Server 2005 trial version (express edition)... and database SQL Server 2000 enterprise edition (licenced version)...

So won't this wrk after mking n e settings or arrangements? Do I need to hv my database also in 2005 and not in 2000?

Thanks and Regards

techieman:

Do I need to hv my database also in 2005 and not in 2000?

Yes that is correct.

|||

On my machine I was having both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. I was using project server database and wss database of SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services and its database of 2005. Accordingly I was getting following error while running reportserver of reporting services 2005:

"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services

So I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 from my machine. I started using project server database and wss database of SQL Server 2000 from some other machine. For Reporting Services and its database of 2005 it used it from my machine.. So every thing worked fine and its not giving any error.

But my actually requirement is using project server database and wss database of SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services and its database of 2005 for which I get above error.

So please help me out with this ASAP. Is there any work around for this?

Thanks...

"sp_cursor" error while printing web report using Reporting Servic

Hi there,
We're using MS SQL 2000 with MS Server 2003. It's a Xeon ( single processor)
based Server with 1GB RAM.
We also use 'Reporting Services' to generate web reports.
The problem is , our application will have problem writing ( ie. INSERT
INTO) to the transaction database if the web reporting is printing data from
the same transaction table.
Following errors were captured in our application.
_sp_cursor:_The_cursor_identifier_value_provided_(xxxxxxx)_is_not_valid
where xxxxxx cpuld be some kind of hex codes , for example 'abcdf08'
,'abcdf03' etc.
Could the MS SQL Server not able to cope during high traffic?
Pls. help.
Thanks.
CD MooHi
This sounds like you may have blocking/deadlocking which rolls back the
reporting services connection. To monitor this check out
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271509/EN-US/. If you do not need to report
on the currently live data, then you would be better creating a copy
periodically and point the reports to that. If you need more up-to-date data
you may want to check out log shipping. With SQL 2005 you could use database
snapshots for this purpose.

We're using SQL Server 2000 with the latest service pack.
I have 2 SQL Servers, Server1 & Server2.
I created a table named Trade in Server1.
Created a view named vwTrade in Server2.
At first, I can see the data from vwTrade. Then I deleted the content of
Trade. Uploaded it with a new set of data using DTS from a foxpro database.
but after that, it is can no longer be seen in vwTrade. If I create another

"Server Application Unavailable" error on generating PDF reports

Hi,
I'm using ASP.NET with SQL Reporting Service to generate PDF reports.
Most of the time it works well.
But sometimes PDF doesn't come out (esp. if the report is complicated),
with the error message at below.
I use 2 separate servers for Web Server / Reporting Service.
And i suspect a cause is not enough memory?
Thanks,
Azul

"rsAccessDenied" Error when Anonymous User from a Virtual directory access the Reporting S

Hi,
My setup is that i have a IIS virtual directory with Anonymous user (
enable anonymous ) to access Reporting Server. Both are in same server
anyway.
I have a web page in the virtual directory with url link to the
Reprting Server.
if I grant this anonymous user with admin privilege , then it works.
Why ' what kind of privilege is needed in fact ? There are some clue
but i dont know how to intepret.
The error log from Event log is as below:
Event Type: Error

security permission can be modified using the Component Services
administrative tool.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.What is the configured identity of the 'ReportServer' service? Is it
interactive user? What is the security configuration for the
ReportServer virtual directory? What is the security configuration for
connecting to your SQL serrver?
If you're accessing the virutal directory as an anonymous user and the
RS service is configured to run as the interactive user, then the
interactive user (in this case anonymous) would need priviledges to
connect to SQL and any other necessary resources.

"Report Manager Virtual Directory" link greyed out in config. tool

I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on our development
servers and the "Report Manager Virtual Directory" link is disabled in the
configuration tool. Does anyone know why it is disabled, and how do I enable
it?
Also, the Web Service Identity link displays the following error message
when I click on it:
"There was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an
error retrieving WMI properties. The exception details are:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I've verified that the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service is
running.
Background/current configuration:
- OS: Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise) SP1
- Web server separate from database server
- Reporting Svcs 2000 installed and working correctly
- Side-by-side installation of Reporting Svcs 2005 with 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
SanjayI am having the same issues on Server 2003 with SQL 2005.

"image/jpeg; charset=utf-8", which is not a valid MIMEType

I am trying to use an image with a "Web" source, the url points to an
aspx page on the same machine as the reporting server, this page
returns a jpeg image (a chart) created by some C# code. On the
"Layout" tab of VS.NET the image is displayed but when I switch to the
"Preview" tab I just get the dreaded Red X.
The following warnings are written to the Output window.
Images with external URL references will not display if the report is
published to a report server without an UnattendedExecutionAccount or
the target image(s) are not enabled for anonymous access.
The value of the MIMEType property for the image ?image1' is
"image/jpeg; charset=utf-8", which is not a valid MIMEType.
I have configured the UnattendedExecuionAccount (rsconfig -e...) and
the page which returns the image allows anonymous access but it
doesn't seem to make any difference. What I don't understand is the
message about the invalid MIMEType, the code which returns the image
sets the ContentType="image/jpeg".
Any help much appreciated.I began to get this error right after I installed "Office 2003 Pro".
Do you use MS Office 2003?

"HTTP status 400: Bad Request" - Reporting Services 2005

Has anyone ran into this error yet while testing Report Manager?
"The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request."
I can deploy and access reports directly, but I receive the above error when
hitting the http://localhost/Reports URL (i.e. ReportManager)
Also, I'm seeing DCOM errors in the NT event log whenever this happens. A
search in the registry find CLSID references to network components (Network
Connection Manager Class, Network Connection Manager Connection Enumerator
Class, LAN Connection Manager Class, etc). Any ideas? Is there a security
configuration that I'm missing?
Here's an example entry:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10016

"File not in a recognizeable format" when rendering to excel

I am using a WinXP SP2 machine with SQL2000 SP4, and using Reporting
Services SP2 when I get "File not in a recognizeable format" when
rendering to excel. Same goes for trying to render to PDF.
The weird thing is that on a virtual I have with Reporting Services
RTM, the excel opens fine...so I don't know what is going on.
The way I am generating the report is by manually creating a
request/response, adding on the POST vars, and then writing the output
to the browser (changing the content-type to excel, pdf, etc). As I
said, with the RTM version, the excel generates fine, but with SP2 it
doesnt.
Here are the parameters that I am adding onto the URL when I make the
request, along with my custom params.
//SQL REPORTING SERVICES SPECIAL PARAMS
sb.Append("&rs:Command=Render");
sb.Append("&rs:Format=" + exportType);
sb.Append("&rc:Parameters=false");
sb.Append("&rc:Toolbar=false&rs:Encoding=ASCII&rc:NoHeader=true");
I then I generate and return the request with the code below
(GeneratePostData() basically just creates the POST vars from above)
public static string generateReport(string url)
{
String result = "";
//get the data to post.
string postData = GeneratePostData();
System.IO.StreamWriter myWriter = null;
HttpWebRequest objRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
objRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
// Way 1:
//objRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Way 2:
objRequest.Credentials = new
NetworkCredential(REPORT_USER,REPORT_PASS,REPORT_DOMAIN);
objRequest.Method = "POST";
objRequest.ContentLength = postData.Length;
objRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
try
{
myWriter = new
System.IO.StreamWriter(objRequest.GetRequestStream());
myWriter.Write(postData);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return e.Message;
}
finally
{
myWriter.Close();
}
try
{
HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)objRequest.GetResponse();
using(System.IO.StreamReader sr = new
System.IO.StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()) )
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
// Close and clean up the StreamReader
sr.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return "An error occured while generating your report.\n" +
e.Message;
}
return result;
}
anyone have any ideas/things I can try because I am at a loss. Thanks
in advance.I figured out my problem.
I was taking the stream reader and passing the results back to the
output stream and writing it out just using Response.Write. This
worked fine for Reporting Svcs RTM, but NOT for SP2.
After going through various postings, I gather a few ways that others
did similar web request/response calls and found that if I just passed
the raw response stream and wrote it out with
Response.outputstream.write that it worked for BOTH RTM and SP2..
System.IO.Stream rs =ReportBuilder.generateReportStream(ReportBuilder.ReportViewerFullPath);
Byte[] read = new Byte[1024];
int count = rs.Read(read, 0, read.Length);
while(count > 0)
{
Response.OutputStream.Write(read, 0, count);
count = rs.Read(read, 0, count);
}

"Error!" msg during "setup support files" installation

Windows 2003 Server. Asp.Net 1.1. Sql Server 2000 Sp3a.
"Error!" msg during "setup support files" installation.
Unable to install Reporting Services. Found a couple of users experiencing
the same problem, but no solution :( Any ideas?
/ChrisFirst, check the error log in Event Viewer and see if you can find any
EventID number for your error. That can pinpoint what the error really is.
If it's error 25619, then check if the DTC service is running? Go check in
services.msc for "Distributed Transaction Coordinator".
Even if it says "started", it might not be. I've had some troubles with
installing RS, and the DTC was the culprit.
It's been discussed in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=89FD4D17-1F6A-4BCF-A15E-CF098C5A68D7%40microsoft.com&rnum=1
In this thread, Pitroda asks about a password for Network Service. Just
leave the password blank, at least that worked for me.

"Data-Driven Subscription" Not Showing

Hi,
Just a follow-up on my earlier email.
I have Reporting Services 2000 installed on Small Business Server for
Windows 2003.
I am logged on as admistrator and all permissions for Content Manager ans
System Admistrator are in place
When I Go To Subscriptions in Report Manager, "New Subscription" option only
shows.
I know that there should be a "New Data-Driven Subscription" option showing
right next to this.
But it just does not show. Does nayone know why this is not the case.
Does this appear only with SQL Reporting Services 2000 Service Pack 1 only?
Or is some option that needs to be ticked off somehwere for this to show.
Does anyone know why this option just will now show?
Thanks
SanjeevWhen I looked into the same problem, I was told that Data Driven
Subscriptions are only available with the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server.

"Cannot find keycodev2.dll or invalid keycode" for certain user account

Hi,

I've created program that sits on a server and provides some reporting functionality. The user submits a SQL Server job that calls this program, passing in some command args.

The SQL Server job is submitted by a C# program that is using a non-sysadmin connection account, therefore it is calling SETUSER to change the job mapping to a local user account, called MYSERVER\SQLServerJobs - I've granted it local admin rights.

Whenever SQL Server attempts to run this job, it's failing with the "Cannot find keycodev2.dll or invalid keycode" error. It's definitely not an install problem, I can run the program from command line using a domain account and it's fine. I guess its a permissions problem with the local account, but I can't put my finger on it!

Again, the local account is in the Administrators group & I've even explicitly granted it rights to the two registry keys

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{4A4D268A-DF9B-4FC1-8301-D9FEEEF69F9C}

- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{8D43D0B9-C14E-4577-9E67-A9A1EEF82302}

as detailed in some Crystal troubleshooting documents.

Anything else I should check for??

ThanksSOLVED:

I went back onto the machine, logging on as the local user account SQLServerJobs. I then reinstalled the 'CrystallInstaller' setup I had created (just all the merge modules that are required) & made sure the 'For everyone' box was checked - Now works fine.

I reckon i flew through the install the first time round and didn't check the 'For Everyone' box - can't remember to be honest, but would make sense!!

"cannot decrypt the symmetric key"

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this error I am seeing on the
Reporting Services server. The server has been working fine for several
months and now we get these errors.
When I go to the Report Manager
http://servername/Reports/pages/folder.aspx
I get the following error: "Response is not well-formed XML"
When I goto the Report Server
http://servername/ReportServer
I get the following error: "The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric
key used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database.
You must either restore a backup key or delete all encrypted content."
I have done some searching and I have found that it is possible that my
ASPNet account has had its password changed which could cause the above
errors. But I am not sure if this would be the issue.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks
RobI think you are asking on how to determine if the ASPNet password has been
changed. Depends on what is being audited on the box, but how about looking
in the Security evnet log?

I don't have an answer yet but if you've managed to sort yours out I'd be interested in hearing how.
If not, then I'll post back when I've fixed it.

"...remote name could not be resolved" when using custom Web App

Hi all,
I'm getting a headache trying to figure out what is going on here. I've set
up Reporting Services on 1 dev machine and 2 servers and using a Web
Application that I am developing to access Reporting Services to generate a
report for me. Everything works fine on both my development machine and one
of the servers, but the other server keeps on producing this error:
"The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved."
As far as I can remember, every instance of RS was installed identically.
Also, I can use the Report Manager from the server and from networked
computers to generate reports with no issues. Its only upon my Web Apps
access to the RS that I get this error. Is this similar to the SSL issues a
lot of people have been discussing? I'm still quite a newbie when it comes to
sql server and iis, so if this has been answered elsewhere already, I'd
appreciate a link :)
AndreAfter a bit of debugging I found that the problem was actually just that a
static web refference to the report server was being used, and that was
pointing at the other server still.
All works fine now.

Reporting Services Error !

I have installed SQL Server Reporting Services and I recieve the following error when I attempt to call the reportserver from the URL.

"Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the 'Refresh' button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur. "

In the event log, the following error is recorded..."

"aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80004005. This error can be caused when the worker process account has insufficient rights to read the .NET Framework files. Please ensure that the .NET Framework is correctly installed and that the ACLs on the installation directory allow access to the configured account. "

I have ran "aspnet_regiis -i" after installing reporting services...
I have validated that ASPNET has the correct permissions...
I have validated that ASPNET user account has not been lockedout...
I have restarted the Report Server service...
I have restarted the IIS service...
I even have restarted the server...

Does anyone have any other ideas that may help! Thank you in advance.Try this url it is permissions related. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Gift Peddie|||My server is not a domain controller. The instructions on the link that you provided addresses the issue if it is a domain controller.

I did check my machine.config file and the <processModel> contains:

userName="machine"
password="AutoGenerate"

Why wouldn't this work for a non-domain controller server?|||Also, by the way, I have installed the .Net 1.1 hot fix|||I am sorry I did not ask you if you installed the Reporting Services and SQL Server with Service accounts because when SQL Server is installed in a Networked box is it good practice to use Service accounts so you will not get all the permissions related errors. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Gift Peddie|||I am using the domain service account. Would I need to change the machine.config file to different settings other than below?

userName="machine"
password="AutoGenerate"

Also, when I attempt to run rsactivate, I recieve the following error:
Failure parsing the config file.
Invalid URI: The host name could not be parsed.

The config file that it is referring to is the rsreportserver.config.|||Reporting Service applications are run through IIS so the username should be the Asp.net worker process account which is different from the service account used to install Reproting Service. You may also need to give Asp.net account full permissions to the Reporting application root folder. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Gift Peddie
