• SQL Server parameter boxes are empty

  Hi, I am have a reporting server which connects to a analysis server which connects to a sql server and a db2 server. I am using windows integrated security all the time except for the DB2 connection. That is a fixed username/password. Reporting server (RS), analysis server (AS) and sql server are all on the same machine. I created a local group and added the correct users to it. I gave that group browse rights on the reports so that works correctly. I created a role in AS and added that group to that role. Gave all read rights to that role. I created a login for that group on the SQL server and gave that group db_datareader role. When I connect as an administrator every reports runs fine. When the test user connects t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HOW: Authoring a Web Test project on a site with a masked URL

  Newbie question. How do I write/record a Web Test on a site that has an implementation of a masked URL I am recording on a QUAT environment in which I will also need to implement a Load Test project on so removing the mask is not an option at this environment.

• SQL Server How do you hide items in the Report Explorer Web Part?

  Does anyone know if it is possible to hide a report in the report explorer web part in sharepoint. I have a report that can't be run by itself. It can only be run when you click on a detail line from another report. Thanks. Yes that option hides items in the list view but not in the detail view. But it only does this in the report manager page. We are using the Report Explorer Web Part. Users run reports from a wss site not from the report manager page. ...Show All

• SQL Server OLEDB Destination Error in SSIS Package not returning error column/desc

  I have a SSIS package that reads data from a dump table, runs a custom script that takes date data and converts it to the correct format or nulls and formats amt fields to currency, then inserts it to a new table. The new table redirects insert errors. This process worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. I am processing just under 6 million rows, with 460,000 or so insert errors that did give error column and code. Now, I am getting 1.5 million errors. and nothing has changed, to my knowledge.

• SQL Server Data Flow Task empty after check in

  On my office PC I have a strange problem with Data Flow Tasks. When I check-in a package into Source Control (Team Foundation) I usually have some empty Data Flow Tasks in the packages...even if I haven't changed that Flow Task. This is really frustrating cause when running the package all goes well, but after a whil you notice that some tables are empty. Does anyone know what the problem is Same here. It happens to me periodically. I haven't yet bothered to take a look at the package XML to try and work out what the problem is. note to self - do that next time. I can't belive that it just removes components from the DFT. I find it easier to believe that it loses the binding between them. Point i ...Show All

• SQL Server Running MDX with multiple levels in one hierarchy

  When I run a mdx that selects multiple levels in one hierarchy in management studio, the resulting table shows all the members in one column for that hierarchy. Is it possible to break down the hierarchy into two columns One for each level Similar to how when you browse a cube, you can drag expand a level and have two columns I am trying to display a cellset as a html table but when multiple levels are selected, it's hard to see the level breakdowns.

From there you could either put the members in differen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sharing Project Templates - relative paths

  Hi, I'm having a problem with a custom template. In our repository we have a template directory and Visual Studio is then setup to search for user templates in that directory for each user. The problem is that the template uses code that may change all the time, so we have a reference to an external file that is located in, say: ..\..\Library\SharedFile.cs This works fine if we try to open the template-project as a normal project. But when it is converted to a template project and used to create a new project based on that project, Visual Studio decides that the current directory should not be that of the location of the UserTemplate1.zip file, but instead the location it decided to extract it into ie. c:\documents and settings\USER\Local ...Show All

• Visual C++ "Expand All" Out of control??

  I have a pretty large solution, with something like 75 projects, containing hundreds (maybe thousands of folders), which collectively contain thousands of source files. Lately, I have become INCREDIBLY annoyed at what appears to be a rogue "feature" of VS2005. Sometimes it happens when I just close a document, sometimes it happens if I click on the output window... but it just arbitrarily decides to expand everything in the solution explorer, which locks up the IDE for several seconds while it performs the operation. Right this second, I have an unresolved external symbol linker error in my output window. If I click on that line, it does this. Beyond that, I haven't been able to pin down exactly what causes it. It always happens ...Show All
