I am trying out the Report Server on a Windows 2012 Server instance and I think i found an issue with embedded assets inside of report.  

First, using the Report Designer I created a "Summary" report (trdx) that contains a table which contains a list of invoices.  One the the fields has an Action defined to "Navigate to Report".  This action maps this field value to a parameter on the target report and launches an Invoice Report.  This works great hosting this in an MVC application.  When this report is hosted on the Report Server, this Invoice Report is not found.  

Second, I tried a Choropleth Map report that i created in the report designer.  This report uses a shape file, this file is also not found on the server.      

 The error message returned is: "An error has occurred while processing Map 'map1': The shape file D:\Applications\Telerik.ReportServer.Web\states.shp cannot be found."  I tried to put these files in this folder, but this did not solve the problem.

Should this work or is this something you will support going forward?  I assume that the Report Designer must change to be able to include these assists to the report or perhaps add them with some sort of URL/Server mapped path.

 

Do you have a short list of pro/cons compared to SSRS Report manager and Report builder

I followed the instructions in the ReportServerManual.pdf.  I seem to be having db connection problems.

The app is installed under: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Telerik.ReportServer.Web

With an IIS app pointing at it with custom headers.

When I hit the local Url I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.The system cannot find the file specifiedDescription: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

The requirements say:

 System Requirements
 Internet Information Services (IIS 7+)
 Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
 HTML5 compatible web browser

Is SQL Express also required ?

Does Report Server support serving reports contained in libraries (ReportTypeResolver )?
Or only TRDX files that are uploaded?

Hello,

Being able to set Scheduled Reports is the number #1 feature that we need at SimpleTix.com
Can you please give us an idea when: Report Server CTP will offer this?

 Hi

I am testing the preview. I use the report designer and report server, no code. Is that
possible, without code, to have parameter, for the final user? I do not find
how. As I wrote in the Report Designer forum (but maybe it was not the right place for this question):

“After looking in the documentation, I did not find how to make interactives
parameters in the Report Designer. Let’s say I create a report about services
and I want a list of services. The client will find the report in Report server
(no code) and will select the service or the services who interest him. How can
I do that?”

 

Thanks for your help

The goal of the Telerik Forum is to provide all registered users with a way to find answers to their questions before officially contacting Telerik. In case you need a faster and precise response, please start a new support ticket as it gets higher priority than Forum posts.

A post in the Forums doesn't guarantee you a response from the Telerik support team although 95% of all posts are eventually addressed. Additionally, a post is not assigned a response time as with the support ticketing system.

The Forums can be used to:

• Discuss coding techniques with fellow Telerik users
• Share your experience on the Telerik suite of controls
• Contact Telerik with a question
• Contact Telerik MVPs
• Help other users

Telerik strives to constantly improve its support services but it is essential to have full information to supply precise replies. If we do not have enough details we will not be able to properly address your inquiry and we will ask for further info. The extra loop is sure to slow down the time it takes to resolve your problem, and subsequently the further development of your project.

It is vital that you follow these guidelines in order to receive an accurate response:
