Reporting Services and Log Shipping

Hey All,
I setup a log shipped server so we could have a warm
backup but the only way I could make the business case to
spend the money was to use it as a reporting server as
well. Needless to say, people are not that happy about
getting kicked out all the time when the data is loading.
Is there anyway to mask the fact that the data source is
unavailable and just get reporting services to wait until
the load is done and resubmit the query when the
connection is available again.
Thanks,
BryanHave you looked into using execution snapshots. You could set the data to
only be refreshed when the data source is known to be available.

Reporting services 2005 extremely slow performance

I have installed Reporting 2005 as a part of SQL Server 2005 setup ( SQL
Server got upgraded from 2000 to 2005)
The general web interface is completely unresponsive!
It takes 5-10 seconds just to move between the tabs, not talking about
running reports.
I have dual Xeon 2.8Ghz machine with 3Gb of memory available - it should
respond momentarily.
Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?
TIA.I've the same problem. I have a server 2003 with SPS 2003 + RS 2005 (on
a different port). SPS 2003 is very fast, but I need to wait 30s when I
click on a folder (just browse). My server is a HP 360 with 2 CPU +
4Go, I really don't understand :-(|||The first time RS starts up after a lag you will get a long pause like that.
This is an IIS thing. You can set timeout on the IIS application pools.
Go to IIS Manager, under Applocation Pools node, right click
"DefaultAppPool" in which the Reporting Server work process is running,
select properties. On "Performace" tag, you will see, by default, the app
pool will shut down if > being idle for 20 min. You can extend this time to
8x60min 480min, so that the app pool will not shut down for a regular
working day. However, the first report reader of the day, will hit the
delay. You may schedule a dummy report at beginning of a work day for this.

I tried everything - so far no luck.
Yes, it takes a while to load the CLR for the first time.
But the reposnse after that is still slow.
I can see a message on status bar - "downloading picture ..." of a really
small gif file for a few seconds and that is in a local mode!
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

issue.
Oleg, is it only reports with an image? If so, where is the image stored
(database or external)? Also, initially you said just seeing the reports,
not running them. Once RS is spun up you should see the report listing
pretty instantaneously on your configuration. RS 2005 is faster than RS
2000, both for displaying report list and running the reports.
Just to make sure, this is from Report Manager, not from your own app?

As mentioned before - the Report manager is slow. I'm not running any
reports yet.
It is very, very slow, when moving between pages within Report Manager
interface.
Even Report Manager's own small image files are loading extremely slow,
until they are cached.
I suspect it is an IIS issue. There are a lot of other web applications
running on the same IIS server, but they are fast.
The only problem is RS 2005.
Thanks.

The other possibility might be authentication. Still, you would think that
would only be right when you first connect.

That is the only 2.0 app in the system yet.
Uninstalled SQL Server 2005, reinstalled it completely from scratch - same
problem.
In addition to the problem description I'd like to list some verbose logs of
simply changing pages within a Report manager

11:55:26:: v VERBOSE: Call to GetProperties completed.

8 seconds beween calls.
from another log file:
w3wp!runningrequests!1!02/27/2006-11:59:28:: v VERBOSE: SoapAction:

SoapAction ... -- took 7 seconds to execute
Seems like any SoapAction calls take a long time to execute in a local mode
on a very powerfull machine.
Question is why?

Reporting Services : Where is it?

I've installed Reporting Services. No shortcuts were setup so what do I do to get into it? Should it show up in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or should I be using something else?

I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for. Are you just trying to verify it was installed so you can create a project with it? You should be able to do that by going in to Visual Studio, selecting Help >> About Microsoft VS and it should show up in your list of installed products.

If you're looking to create a new project, simply choose File >> New Project and select Business Intelligence Projects from the project types. Hmm, I might be way off on what you're looking for - I too am quite new to Reporting Services. There is an excellent video on this site I would suggest watching: http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=112

To verify that you have reporting services properly configured try accessing report manager from internet explorer by typing the following URL if your using sql express with advanced services.

http://ComputerNameHere/reports$SQLEXPRESS

You may need to replace SQLEXPRESS with your sql instance name.

The url above show launch report manager from where you can browse folders and reports hosted on the report server.

Reporting Server vs. Database Server

Hi everyone,
After reading through countless Microsoft pages I'm still very
confused about how to setup a correct datasource connection. I have a
database server where all the data is kept, and a reports server that
I would like to use only to generate and deploy reports to. I have
Visual Studio 2005 installed on my client computer, and I DO NOT want
to create a data source that connects directly to the database
server.
Theoretically, there is a way to load VS and connect to the database
server through the reports server. I don't want any of my client
computers directly touching the database server, but they have to be
able to generate reports from that data. How can I accomplish this?
Anyone who can solve this conundrum gets a batch of my wife's home-
made cookies!Not possible. The computer that is running VS 2005 has to have a datasource
to the data being reported off of. All the users do not need to connect to
the database server but any developer using the report designer has to have
a data source created to hit the server.
I use mixed mode on the database server, create a readonly login that I use
for reporting.

That's for the help. I think having a read-only login is probably a
safe way to go. The only reason I asked was because of this article
that I found earlier. I don't quite understand Report Server Model's
yet... but I get the feeling it's something for Report Builder, and
not for Report Designer (VS).

reporting server failing....System outof memory exception

Hi :

We have a setup reporting services for reporting...and our reports are working fine for 100-200 thousand records which is basically 1 year worth of data.

The reporting server fails when it starts processing beyond 200 thousand records...when I check the reporting log I see System outof memory exception. The reporting server has 8GB of ram and its a blade server. I dont know how to solve this issue.

Please let me know where I am doing wrong....

Thanks,

Pramod

Are you sure that SQL Server has not been restricted in how much memory is available for it to use?

Also as a general rule, I try to return as little data in the dataset for RS to process as possible. So it's better to do some GROUP BY clases in your query rather than returning all records and letting RS do the Sums.

|||You'll want to make sure SQL Server is actually "seeing" all 8 gig of ram ... I've seen a lot of admins forget to configure AWE.|||Yep sql server is made available all 7 gb of 8 gb ram...by setting /7gb in boot.ini.|||Yes adam...the RS is after group by of all fields....other wise i would get a million records without group by....
