Reporting service licensing question?

Hi everyone,
I have SQL server Dev edt. installed on my laptop and my company has SQL
server Ent. Edt. on our production server.
I recently downloaded the reporting services trail of 120 days from the site
of microsoft.
Anyway my question is if i install the trail reporting services on both my
laptop and maybe later the production server, will it stop functioning after
120 days?
TIA,
Martin.Yes, I would expect the trial edition to stop working after the trial
period.
If you have a licensed copy of Enterprise Edition you should contact
your supplier to get a copy of the Reporting Services CD. Once you
have that you shouldn't be time limited.

Reporting Service interoperability

Hi,

I'm evaluating Sql Server 2005 for my company. Here we also use AS400 DB2 for our ERP. Could I use Reporting Service to create report on DB2 in the same way as someone could use MS access?
TIA

Yes. You need to go to the IBM web site and download the db2 drivers. I think the package is IBM DB2 Client Access Enabler (CAE).

You then need to write your DB2 SQL in the report which can get kind of hairy. If I can get away with it, I write SSIS packages and write the reports using SQL Server.

Reporting Service Installation with Oracle

My Company Database is in Oracle and Now thinking to go for Reporting Service of Asp.net 2.0. Can Somebody will help me what should I need to Strat with. I mean what should i Insatll to make server and configuartion and all that.

Hi Milind,

It will be easy if you want to display reports(using SSRS) in your asp.net application which will take data from your oracle db. You can configure the reporting services supports various data sources(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159219.aspx#OracleClient)

Check these articles to know how to configure the SSRS report with oracle db -

Reporting Service 2000 + Visual Studio 2005??

Hi all,
I need to create some reports in my company and I have SQL Server 2000 and
Visual Studio 2005.
Well, to create reports I will use the tool Report Server from the SQL
Server 2000. When I try install RS I can't because I don't have the Visual
Studio 2003.
Can someone help me?
--RS 2000 requires some version of VS. Used to be the cheapest way was to by
VB.Net 2003 (about $100). I don't really know if that is available anymore.
RS 2005 ships with its own version of VS 2005 (or integrates with VS 2005 if
you have it). RS 2000 cannot use VS 2005 (RS 2000 is a 1.1 framework app).

Reporting Server - Crystal Conversion Utility

the company is evaluating using SQL Server 2000 Report Server - the biggest question as you might anticipate is whether Microsoft has, or plans to develop a utility to convert crystal reports to the RDL. Any news'?

Hi
I asked this very same question to the Tech-Ed 2003 Reporting Services speaker. The answer was NO.
But this is a great opportunity for third parties
Hope this helps

Reporting Manager

We are building SQL Reporting Services for use within our company, what we
are going to do is launch the reporting services from with in our Company
intranet. We would prefer not to launch a new window when we do this, is
there an easy way to add a link on the Reporting services page to link the
user back to the main intranet page?Patrick,
If you read our book "Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting
Services" then we show you in Chapter 11 how you can indeed customise the
Report Manager.
This example flash file illustrates a modification
http://www.sqlreportingservices.net/Tools/195.aspx to the Report Manager
that enables the parameter area to be modified - but you'll find the
techniques discussed in the book will give you enough idea to be able to put
a link to your Company Interanet website into the Report Manager.
Hope this helps.
