asp.net

When I attempt to install sql reporting services enterprise, i receive the
following:
"System Check results--asp.net is not installed or is not registered with
your web server".
I review services and iisadmin is there and running as is also asp.net state
services which I had started to run automatically. Microsoft .net framework
1.1 is confirmed installed in the add/remove programs.
Anyone come across this before?
thanksDid you by any chance remove the default website? RS needs the default
website to be able to install.

This will install ASP.NET.
On a side note, you may want to turn off the ASP.NET State Service as this
is used for servers that act as session state servers for ASP.NET
applications that are configured to maintain session state out of process.
So this service is probably just using resources for nothing.

the machine or IIS is installed later. The aspnet_regiis.exe utility with
the -i parameter installs the correct IIS script maps so IIS associates
asp.net requests with the desired version of the framework. (Each framework
version has it's own aspnet_regiis.exe utility).
You should also be able to MSDN search that message and you will get more
information on the aspnet_regiis tool.

ASP to SQL Connection Prob, Same Server, IIS

Yes, it should be easy...

I have a single box hosing IIS and SQL Server 2000. In my ASP script I've
tried using the following connection strings to attempt to connect to no
avail:

"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=servername\instancename,1 433;Database=TEST;network=DBMSSOCN;uid=TEST;pwd=TE ST"
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=local IP
address\instancename,1433;Database=TEST;network=DB MSSOCN;uid=TEST;pwd=TEST"

"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=external IP
address\servername\instancename;Database=TEST;netw ork=DBMSSOCN;uid=TEST;pwd=TEST"

Getting error:

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]Specified SQL server not found."

SQL Server is set up for SQL and Windows authentication. Server utility is
configured for both named pipes and TCP/IP. Port is set to 1433.

I can connect to the DB using Query Analyzer both from the local server
itself AND from a remote laptop over the internet.

So, what am I missing???

Thanks in advance,

But you have a named instance. Yes, you can of course have a named
instance on port 1433, but normally this is where you have the unnamed
instance.

would not connect?

I have this same set up on my development laptop and it connects fine,
except that my web site on the laptop is served up from a virtual directory.
On the home development box, the web site is located under the
InetPub\wwwroot folder. Not sure if this would change the "perspective" that
the connection call is coming from and hence would require a different
syntax...

I asked my question mainly as incentive for you to double-check.

I don't really see why either. Then again, I'm completely ignorant about
IIS.

But there is one thing I don't like in your connection string:
network=DBMSSOCN. I believe this library is out-dated. Not that I
think it matters, but remove it.

And, hm, what about removing 1433? After all there is a service to
find the port. And then there is shared memory which does not even need a
port...

ASP search screen and MS-SQL 2k

Hello,

I am looking for help with the following situation.

I have created a simple call tracking system that is integrated
with our accounting / warehousing program in the company. The call
tracking system uses ASP 3.0 and MSSQL 2000 sitting on an Intranet web
server. All appears to be working well with the software. I am
trying to create a search screen to search through the calls based on
different criteria.

I have an ASP script that generates a SELECT statement based on
the selected criteria but this is sent off to the SQL server as the
statement. I want to use a stored procedure to speed up the process.
Is it possible to create a stored procedure for this search even when
the WHERE clause and criteria keeps changing?

TIALook into Full Text Indexing on your SQL Server tables. There is a Sql
Service dedicated to this. This article touches on the capability...

Yes, although the way to gain speed is more likely to review indexing,
or constrain what users can search on.

Anyway, I have an article on the topic on my web site. It's a bit
long, but it covers the topic fairly extensively. The link is

ASP error with stored procedure

SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003 SP1 and IIS6
I'm getting the following error from my ASP page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Formal parameter '@.mname' was defined as OUTPUT but the actual parameter
not declared OUTPUT.
However, the formal parameter '@.mname' was used in a previous stored
procedure accessed by the same command object and that parameter has been
been deleted prior to the call.
Here's the DDL for the procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertAndIdentifyNewStarter
@.peopleID INTEGER,
@.newstarterID BIGINT OUTPUT
AS
INSERT INTO newstarter (peopleID)

SELECT @.newstarterID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Dim cmd, ln
Set cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

.ActiveConnection = "Provider=" & DBPROVIDER & ";" & CONNECTIONSTRING

ASP .NET Web Site Administration Tool Problem

Hi,

I have a problem when I use ASP .NET Web Application Administration tool. When I click the Security tab, I receive following message

"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:Unable to connect to SQL Server database."

In the same page, there is a button to go to Provider section. I clicked it, and I went to the Provider page. There, there were two links, which were: "Select a single provider for all site management data" and
"Select a different provider for each feature (advanced)". I clicked the earlier, and I was redirected to a page to select provider. There, there was a link, I clicked it and I receive following message:

"

Provider ManagementCould not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.

"

After reading this message, I opened Command Prompt and went to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727. There, I ran the aspnet_regsql command, and then ASP .NET SQL Server Setup Wizard was displayed. In the first page of this wizard I chose "Configure SQL Server for application services" and then I clicked "Next" button. In the second page I left all fields as they were and then I clicke"Next". In the third page I only clicked "Next" and then some process ran. Finally, in the last page I received following message:

"

What should I do? I tried to use this administration tool on computer in my house and everything was just fine. Why do I have this problem in my office?

Hi,

It seems that you are not providing correct information about your SQL Server database on second page of that wizard. It should be properly pointing to the database which would be used by your application. When you have properly pointed it to that, it will then create some default tables and objects for you to use and enable this feature in your application.

|||

Yes, you are right! I made a mistake in step 2 of ASP .NET SQL Server Setup Wizard. Recently, I successfully went through all the steps. However, I still can't open the Security tab in ASP .NET Web Site Administration Tool. When I open the Provider section, I still receive the message below:

"

Provider ManagementCould not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.

"

What should I do? I need to create a login functionality for my site in near future. Please help me...

Hi haris101,

There, there were two links, which were: "Select a single provider for all site management data" and
"Select a different provider for each feature (advanced)". I clicked the earlier, and I was redirected to a page to select provider.

Open your machine.config and search for "localsqlserver" connection string. The default is configured to use sql server express database. So, if you are not using sql express, you need to modify this "localsqlserver" connection string or specify a new connection string for the default provider.

I suggestion you read this walk-through first:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/879kf95c(VS.80).aspx

Hope my suggestion helps

hey haris

im having the same problem -
i can get the web site to run queries
but i cant get the website administration to connect
did you ever find out the solution??
would love to know your experience

thanks
toy

I'm also having a similar problem, I tried to connect the aspnet_regsql to my sql 2005 server on the network but it keeps telling me it can't connect. and i'm not sure why that is. I already have information for my web app stored in this server so i know that it is running just fine. if anyone can help that would be great, im running the vs 2005 pro with the 2.0 framework.

Thank,

Hi haris101,

Thanks Bo! You are right!

For others who experience the same problem like mine, all you have to do is modify machine.config file in ...\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG (this is the default location). Scroll down until you find

<connectionStrings> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>

What I did is changing the connection string to "Data Source=IT-HARIS\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True" since "IT-HARIS\SQLEXPRESS" is my SQL Server name and I use windows authentication to log on to this server. I hope this works for you too.

Best regards,

Haris

Asian characters converted to ? in ntext field

I have an ntext field labeled answer in one of my tables.
I had an error in one of my applications where the following sqlstatement
was executed:
INSERT INTO tblRESPONSE(ANSWER) VALUES('AsianCharactersHere')
The correct statment would have included the leadning "N" as follows:
INSERT INTO tblRESPONSE(ANSWER) VALUES(N'AsianCharactersHere')
This error resulted in question marks being inserted into the database
instead of the asian characters.
Is there *any* way to retrieve the asian characters? It appears that each
of the characters was truncated which is where the question marks come from.
I tried to use lumigent log explorer to recreate the erroneous rows from the
logs, but without success. Is the original insert command stored somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just talked to microsoft sqlserver tech support. If you use the default
character set, there is no way to retrieve the data. The text is converted
to the question mark characters before it is recorded anywhere in the sql
engine.

ASC/DESC Clustered Index - will it make a difference in this scenario?

Imagine the following scenario-

Identity(1,1) column ID is primary key and only clustered index key.

Rows will be inserted regularly into this table, hundreds per day.

Queries will be mostly selecting on the most recent records.

In a year, the row will have half a million records or so and only the most recent records will be used. There will be a forward-rolling hot spot, of most recent records.

Does the direction of the ID column in the clustered index make a difference?

I'm thinking no, because query plan will go to that leaf in an index seek regardless of whether it is old or new, "bottom" or "top" of index, especially if the query is very specific on the ID.

I've read this

http://mattadamson.blogspot.com/2005/05/choosing-between-ascending-or.html

but it didn't address (or perhaps didn't need to) this sort of scenario.
You would get the hot spot regardless of the direction of the sort. I do question why you would create this key as a clustered index, though. You may find better performance in the application that uses this data if another index more appropriate to the application's access is chosen for the clustered index. (Your primary key is many times not your best choice for your clustered index.)|||

Not trying to avoid the hotspot. The primary key as IDENTITY as clustered index is very oftentimes, in my experience, the best way to go. I'm not alone, check out articles by Kim Tripp among others. I understand that in this scenario the inserts and selects are all going to be happening in the hotspot, but that's where leveraging SNAPSHOT isolation can help.

I'm pretty certain that ASC/DESC won't make a difference in this scenario but I'd welcome any more input.

AS400 ODBC connection

I was able to successfully create a linked server to AS400 box without
any problem. But now, due to some reason the following query does not
return any data (0 rows)
Select * from openQuery(CWBIS800, 'select * from lib.tb where cmln =
10001001')
whereas the following query does return the correct record.
Select * from openQuery(CWBIS800, 'select * from lib.tb') where cmln =
10001001
I dont like the later query as this basically fetches all the records
from as400 (network traffic) and then applies the where clause on SQL
server side. Any idea how to fix the previous query ? please help

KeyBank
What is the data type for cmln? Did you try the first query
- exactly what is in between the single quotes - using
Client Access or on the AS400 itself?

AS400 driver issue

I am connecting to an AS400 from SQL Server using the iSeries Client Access. I am getting the following error when attempting to select from 1 table:

Server: Msg 7317, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' returned an
invalid schema definition.

The select looks something like: SELECT * FROM <instance>..<owner>.<tablename>

Selecting a subset of the fields (instead of all) does not make a difference.

All other table selects work fine - this is only a problem for one table

Any ideas? Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!I would guess one of the columns is of a type not understood by SQL Server.

You might have to create a view on the problem table that casts the columns to VARCHAR Types and see if it works that way.

Tim S|||We have 2 Windows 2003 servers, one running Standard Edition and the other Enterprise. Both connect to the AS400 via iseries ODBC. What is interesting is the server running standard can see the table via QA while the Enterprise cannot. However both can see the table using DTS. Strange isn't it?

Let me know your insights.

AS2005. Strange MDX behaviour.

Hi, MDX gurus,

I have a unexplainable problem with pretty easy MDX.

Following MDX queries

//
select
Filter([Date].[Date].members,
[Date].[Date].CurrentMember.MemberValue = VBA![dateadd]("yyyy", -2, VBA![Date]()) )
on 0,
{} on 1
from [Adventure Works]

//
select
Filter([Date].[Date].members,
[Date].[Date].CurrentMember.MemberValue = CDate("11.07.2004"))
on 0,
{} on 1
from [Adventure Works]

provide the same result as expected.

This query

//
select
Filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].members,
[Date].[Date].CurrentMember.MemberValue = CDate("11.07.2004"))
on 0,
{} on 1
from [Adventure Works]

returns as expected one member

but this query

select
Filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].members,
[Date].[Date].CurrentMember.MemberValue = VBA![dateadd]("yyyy", -2, VBA![Date]()) )
on 0,
{} on 1
from [Adventure Works]

retuns nothing. This is strange, isn't it?
Can anybody explain it?

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir Chtepa

The puzzle for me is not why your fourth query doesn't return anything - I don't think it should - but why the third query does return July 2004. In your third query you're filtering the members on [Date].[Calendar].[Month] and for each one checking the currentmember on [Date].[Date] - but the currentmember should be the All Member on [Date].[Date] in all cases, as the following queries show:

with member measures.test as [Date].[Date].CurrentMember.membervalue

select measures.test on 0,

[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1

from [Adventure Works]

and

with member measures.test as [Date].[Date].CurrentMember.membervalue = CDate("11/07/2004")

select measures.test on 0,

[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1

from [Adventure Works]

Very strange...

I don't know why 3-d query returns "expected" result.

It will be great If anybody from developer team could explain it.

AS2005. strange Error in MDX.

Hi AS Fathers,

If AS runs under account with no english locale (for example 'de' or 'ru') , the following query

select {[Product].[Dealer Price].&[1.374]} on 0 from [Adventure Works]

returns nothing, but this one

select {[Product].[Dealer Price].&[1,374]} on 0 from [Adventure Works]

returns a member with unique name [Product].[Dealer Price].&[1.374]

Under such circumstances it isn't possible to select element from member list in oder to set filter etc.

there is some thing strange in forum. 1 hour ago here was a message from Mosha. Where is it?

AS2005. Distinct count meausure + aggregate seems to be a bug.

Look at following Query

-- the first query

with

member [Promotion].[Promotion Category].[No Discount und Reseller] as

aggregate({[Promotion].[Promotion Category].&[No Discount], [Promotion].[Promotion Category].&[Reseller]}, Measures.CURRENTMEMBER)

SELECT ADDCALCULATEDMEMBERS([Promotion].[Promotion Category].members)

ON COLUMNS,

CROSSJOIN({[Product].[Category].[All Products],[Product].[Category].[All Products].children},

{[Measures].[Customer Count],[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]})

ON ROWS

FROM [Adventure Works]

--and the second query

with

member [Promotion].[Promotion Category].[No Discount und Reseller] as

aggregate({[Promotion].[Promotion Category].&[No Discount], [Promotion].[Promotion Category].&[Reseller]}, Measures.CURRENTMEMBER)

SELECT ADDCALCULATEDMEMBERS([Promotion].[Promotion Category].members)

ON COLUMNS,

CROSSJOIN({[Product].[Category].[All Products],[Product].[Category].[All Products].children},

{[Measures].[Customer Count]})

ON ROWS

FROM [Adventure Works]

The first query gets wrong result for the distinct count measure, the second one gets the right result.

I have tested it against build 2184 and buld 2195. Both have the same result.

Is the bug already fixed in SP2?

Yes, the problem was fixed in SP2. A public CTP release is scheduled to come out in a few weeks.|||

It would be more exectly if you wrtie "is scheduled to come out in a few weeks - 1", because you wrote more then a week ago the same words "a public beta release is scheduled to come out in a few weeks."

AS2005 MDX-Question (Grouping while ignoring intermediate level)

Hi,

I'm quite new to MDX and try to solve the following problem: given is a dimension having the following hierarchy:

Business Unit A
Sales Area 1Customer XCustomer YCustomer ZSales Area 2Customer VCustomer WCustomer X
Business Unit BSales Area 3......

Now I need the sum of each business units' revenues grouped by customers. In the above example the result should look like:
Business Unit A

Customer VCustomer WCustomer X (sum of Sales Area 1 and Sales Area 2)
Customer YCustomer ZSales Area 2Business Unit BCustomer ...
...
Is this possible with MDX?

Thanx for any help and kind regards,
Gerald

Gerald, try this:

{GENERATE({[OrgDimName].[HierarchyName].[BusinessUnitLevelName].MEMBERS},

{[OrgDimName].[HierarchyName].CURRENTMEMBER,

DESCENDANTS([OrgDimName].[HierarchyName].CURRENTMEMBER,

[OrgDimName].[HierarchyName].[CustomerLevelName], SELF)})} ON ROWS

If you replace SELF with SELF_AND_BEFORE you will also get the Sales Area sub-totals.

HTH

Philip Taylor

|||Philip, thank you for your answer.
What I forgot to mention (and is quite important, I think) is that the dimension is a parent-child-dimension:
business units are on [Level 04]|||

Gerald,

Can you explain the meaning of revenue(X1) and revenue(X2) in relation to Customer X please.

Also you might want to create a level naming template ( see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms167115(d=ide).aspx and there is an equivalent in AS2000) which I think makes it easier to navigate your org structure and write MDX queries.

Regards

Philip

|||Philip,

the formula in brackets is just thought as an explanation of how the revenue should be calculated. So the revenue for business unit 1 should be the sum of the revenues of customers V, W, X, Y and Z where customer X appears twice, once with revenue value X1 and once with revenue value X2. In other words "revenue(n)" means the revenue value of customer n stored in the facts. I just see that I've made a typo at customer W: of course it should be revenue(W).

Anyway - I have just had a talk with the guy responsible for the cube design and it looks like we will make a second cube which is optimized for reporting. In this case I'll have a dimension which gives me the desired structure directly and I won't have any problems getting the results our customer would like to see.

thanx and kind regards,
Gerald
