Microsoft Reporting Services

Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'ParamaterName' is
not a valid value. (rsInvalidReportParameter)
I am getting this error when I am trying to run a deployed report.
However,
this is driving me mad because in the report preview within VS.Net the
report
works fine and i can choose the same parameter settings from within the dev
environment with no problems. I am populating this parameter with a
dropdown
with valid values from a sproc (and this I've done a thousand times before)
.
I can not figure out why it is throwing this error, particularly since it
works perfectly fine in the preview pane. How could it be crappin out when
I
deploy it?!?! I am going insane!
Pl. put in forum.
regards
Arvind Sharma

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.comOn the deployed report, in report manager, properties... is the prompt string
blank? If so it will try to render the report without prompting for input
which will throw that error.

Microsoft Drivers for Accessing data from Unix.

Are there any microsoft provided ODBC drivers that can be installed on Unix
side for accessing SQL Server data? OR they are only available from third
party.
Regards,
MZeeshan
MS does not provide an ODBC driver that works on Unix. However, you can
get that from Data Direct. Microsoft does make a JDBC driver though.

Thanks for your post.
Unfortunately, I am sorry to say that we do not support ODBC drivers for
UNIX officially. However, I have noticed here is a very good article from
MVP Erland Sommarskog for your reference
Connecting to MS SQL Server from Unix

Hope it helps.

Meta Data cleanup

I have a quick question that I could not find the answer for anywhere.
The software developers that provided our SQL database program advised us to
put the subscription expiration on "never expire" because of their past
experience with customers who do not maintain their databases. Because of
this we now how massive meta data tables that need to be purged to increase
replkication performance (synchronization is extrmely slow). I have tried
setting the subscription retention to 14 days, but the amount of data to be
purged is huge and it interferes with the synchroniztion over night.
What I would like to do is use the stored procedure
sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup to individually clean up the meta data
tables at each subscriber and the publisher. My problem is that I can not
find the parameters and correct syntax for this procedure anywhere. I have
seen the following:
sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup (?,?,?)
but I don't know what to use to fill the question mark. I'm assuming I need
parameters since it seems doubtful the procedure is complete in itself (I'm
guessing a parameter is retention time and probably database?).
Thanks for the help.
Pete
these are output parameters.
declare @.num_genhistory_rows int , @.num_contents_rows int ,
@.num_tombstone_rows int
exec sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup @.num_genhistory_rows output,
@.num_contents_rows output, @.num_tombstone_rows output
print @.num_genhistory_rows
print @.num_contents_rows
print @.num_tombstone_rows
