Hello team Telerik,

We are a long-time customer of Telerik and do like to push the boundaries of our Telerik software to utilize the full potential of products for our current business IT functions. 

As a business we currently use Oracle OBI for some of our analysis, however we are now looking to migrate away from this solution and take full advantage of report server as a direct and continuing replacement for most of our reporting needs. 

In order to achieve our goal and to assist with this migration we have an interesting and exciting idea (and great marketing tool for Telerik customers) for report server in the form of a small template process that would import and convert Oracle OBI for use with report server reports.  This does not necessarily need to be a full conversion however a step in the right direction, considering how much work has gone into our current OBI solution even an 80% success rate of import would be exciting for us - if report server could offer such a feature that would be super amazing.

After evaluation, we have been quite impressed with the Report Server solution thus far and believe we can leverage it even further by suggesting extra features such as this import function and believe Telerik making this small implementation into the current report server software would make a massive difference to its customers.   

I look forward to any feedback for this thread and any other ideas based around this import venture or oracle OBI templates.

Hello, 

I can't find an example or a document on this point.

Is there a way to manage localization when Report are hosted in a Report Server ?

Regards,

Mike.

Probably a dumb question. 

I've successfully installed Report Server, and am trying to input a Data Connection, and enter the provider (SQL) and the connection string, which the Report Server accepts. I then use IE to create a report,however, when I chose the Data Connection I entered, I get an error saying that there is an error in index 107.

 

So I'm guessing I'm not putting in the data string correctly even though it is accepted. Can someone give me the format of the conneciton string for SQLClient Data Provider (seems like a dumb question; however, it is not working with the one I'm entering).

 

In advance, thanks for your help.

Hi,

Please can I get a few pointers on setting up an entity data source for the report server and desktop report editor: relevant documentation, walkthroughs, etc. 

I'm expecting to:

1. Make an EntityFramework model and compile it into a DLL. Easy: done.
2. Add an app.config file to the report designer and edit it to include a reference to my DLL. When I download the app from the report server it does not come with a config file. Must the config file have a specific filename? Must it be in a particular location?
3. Something similar on the report server. I can't find any documentation for this.

Thanks,

Richard.

Hello,

I am evaluating telerik report server to find out if it feed our need. I have few questions:

1. We'd like to use another method to pre-generate the report, then use  telerik report server to send them out. Can telerik report server read from an file repository attache related report and attache it then send to related customers?

2. We have MSSQL database stored our customer informations, can  telerik report server connect to our database read customer information from the table, then use customer ID to find the associated report?

3. Can telerik report server call an rul which genenrate the pdf report, then it can download the pdf file and send it out?

 

Thank you!

I have a report that has a subreport. If I set the subreport to Visible = false, everything works fine. If I have the subreport visible, it errors with "Internal Server Error A generic error occurred in GDI+." The subreport just contains 3 fields that are pulled from a database and displayed on the screen, so no images or anything. Is there any logging or anything that can be turned on to figure out whats going on?

Thanks,

Nick

I can use the Telerik Report Designer application, but I was hoping to us the 'Report Server manager' in Chrome.  When I try to create a new report, it tells me that my current browser does not support ClickOnce, and that I need to install an extension or use the RD application.  I tried installing 3 different ClickOnce Chrome extensions (by Neta4, WindosRemix and Menarva) to no avail.  I am running Windows 10 Pro and the current version of Chrome. I got the same results using Edge and Firefox browsers.  The warning I get from report server is that I should try IE, but IE doesn't run on Win 10.

Does anyone have it running on Chrome, and if so, were any speacial tweaks involved in order to get it running?

Thanks,

Bill

 

How do create a parameter that shows a list to the user so the user can select an item from the list and run the report?  In my case I have a report that can be run for three different departments, but need the user to select a department before running the report.

Currently, I have created a report with no column groups. I am trying to create a data alert using Telerik reporting server. When I select the report in general section and in rules when I try to open the drop down it is empty as shown in the link below.

There is no code for this. It is a static report designed using Telerik report designer. I have tried creating multiple report types and tried using data alerts but of no use. How can I get data alert feature to work using Telerik Report server? Any help is appreciated. I've looked at the documentation for data alert and is not useful. 

Any chance the ObjectDataSource will be added to Report Server reports? I have a lot of reports used in an MVC solution that are currently stored in a standalone .DLL that are making use of ODS(which I use because I love to write queries in Linq) that I would like to post to Report Server as well in order to take advantage of scheduling among other things. This would be extremely helpful.
