We have a growing business intelligence solution deployed on SQL Server 2008 R2. All reports are in SSRS and are executed via web browser by the end-users throughout the day.
We have been investigating how to improve performance and so far it appears that converting report datasets to shared datasets and then caching those shared datasets provides the greatest opportunity. (We can't snapshot or cache the individual reports themselves as they all contain customized content based upon the end user's roles and permissions).
Creation of the shared datasets and setting them to be cached is easy, and we're seeing really nice performance improvements.
However, we haven't been able to find a way to refresh the cached data without using the SSRS calendar-based schedule. Our ETL process completes anywhere from 8 am to sometime after noon depending on data availability from source systems, so we can't just pick a point in time to refresh the cached data.
Ideally we'd like to add commands to the end of the SSIS workstream that loads the database, and have these commands expire the existing cached datasets and refresh their data.
We've been able to use the SetCacheOptions stored procedure to expire the cached datasets, ensuring that the next run of the top-level report will pull new data - but the performance hit on that first execution is significant. We'd rather have the caches refresh systematically when ETL completes so that our end users are always seeing the fastest performance with the most current data.

I have many rdl files and need to migrate from one server to another. While downloading and uploading the rdl, data driven subscription details are lost? How do I get this information?
Should I need to configure data driven subscription again for all rdl files?

When I deploy my SSRS reports to the cloud the defaults are not getting set on my cascading parameters. They work fine when I deploy to RS 2008. Any advice on where I can read up on this?

Hi,
I was creating a simple report as per the msdn guide. There is a tiny difference/issue that m facing. The tutorial says that while formating the 'date' column, set the format to "January 31, 2000" whereas on my machine i'm unable to find such format in SSRS Text box properties.
Should i use 'custom' formatting? Why is there a difference in guide and the instance?
PS: I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2
Thanks.

I have a report that I designed in SSRS 2008. I had a particular font that I installed which I used while developing the report but eventually restored my fonts to factory settings. Now there's this constant shadow of the previous font.
In design - it shows like a shadow to the text boxes
In Preview - the shadow doesn't show
After Printing to PDF - shadows show
See attached example. Any help?

lets i say that i have 10 columns to view report and i want to hide 3 of these columns at runtime based on the value of parameter which the user would select.. This can be easily done by setting the coulmn visibility of each of these 3 columns based on the value of the aforesaid parameter... It's perfectly fine uptill here...
The problem is when the report shows up (with 3 columns hidden) the remaining 7 columns take up the place of the hidden columns and as a result the overall width of the table reduces accordingly... I do not want this to happen..i.e. i want the table width to remain constant..
That is to say the remaining colums width should somehow be able to expand so that the original overall width of the table remains same...
Is this possible to achieve.... urgent, i have already passed many days.please help me.

Hi,
In SSRS 2008 I have a report with 4 parameters:
1. TYPE: a Visible Text parameter, including 2 values "7" and "30", indicates number of days to go backwards from Today's date.
2. DATE: a Visible Date/Time parameter with Default value, Expression: =Today() .
3. FromDate: a Visible Text parameter with Default value, Expression: =iif(Parameters!TYPE.Value=7,FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d",-7,parameters!DATE.Value),dateformat.ShortDate),FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d",-30,parameters!DATE.Value),dateformat.ShortDate))
4. ToDate: a Visible Text parameter with Default value, Expression: =FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d",-1,parameters!DATE.Value),dateformat.ShortDate)
The Date member in the Dataset MDX Query is in dd/MM/yyyy format.
The results of the parameter are all in MM/dd/yyyy.
Therefore I'm getting this error: "the restrictions imposed by the constrained flag in thestrtomember function were violated date parameter"
I tried some different technics but always got different errors.
What should I do?
Thanks!

please let me know how to create report in ssrs 2008 version
Server 1- SharePoint 2010 fully installed, Reporting services 2008 R2 installed in SharePoint integrated mode and Reporting services add in installed.
Server 2- Microsoft SQL server 2008 R2 fully installed.
I have created Claims mode web application, using NTLM. It was asking credentials. I connected with report builder by using windows user login.
Connection type: SharePoint list
Connection String: http://servername/site
In credentials tab, I selected “Use Current Windows User.
It is connected. When I try to add dataset I got the below error.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder

How can this be resolved??
Thanks, Siskin.
I have two reports.
One report is an on demand report.
Second report is an e-mail report that exports data in CSV format.
The customer wants the ability that every time that the first report is run that the second report is automatically e-mailed. Is this possible?
I am going prepare new reports by using old urls. For example, there is an ID which is highlighted yellow in the picture below. When I click to there, it forwards to my report. Is there any possibility to take just the maId=887 as the parameter? Then the reports wil be opened automatically.
My goal is taking that maId as a parameter? How can I take it?
Thanks in advance..

Hi...
I am trying (unsuccessfully) to create a radar chart in report builder 2.0.
I have 5 fields - where the field name is the catagory, and the field value contains the data to plot. Example:
Sort | Store | Shine | Stan | Sus |
3 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 4 |
The only way I can get the chart to work is with data in this format:
Cat | Data |
Sort | 3 |
Store | 5 |
Sh | 2 |
Stan | 1 |
Sus | 4 |
Is there a way to create the chart using the data I have available? The only alternative I can think of is transposing my data (which I'd rather avoid).
Thanks..
