Is it possible to hide the report parameters after click on the view report button?

i am working in SQL Reporting services 2005. i had a requirement that
after selecting all the report paramters and click on the view report
button, i need to turn off or hide the report parameters.
please let me know is it possible to implement to do this.
any suggesstion
Thanks
VinodThere is a button the right side of the page of the reports browser
that look like to arrows on top of each other, click that and it will
hide the parameters. There are actually two sets, one for the
parameters and one for the web page header. Hope that helps.

i have seen the hide button icon in the report layout.but my
requirement is that i need to hide the parameters when i click on the
view report button in the report layout after selecting the all the
report parameters.
if user wants to modify the criteria again, he needs to click on the
hide icon in the report layout. then select the criteria and view the
report.
please let me know if you are not clear
Thanks

thinking that if you can modify the View Report button's code, you could add
a java script that redirects to a url with parameters toolbar=false and the
chosen parameters. You'd have to tweek the RS GUI to do it, and I don't know
how easy that is.
Alternatively, create a aspx. page that creates the parameters to be chosen,
and send the users to a report using the same paramtererized url as
suggested above.

Is it possible to create dynamic reports using reporting services

I have a requirement to create dynamic reports for my client.

once i create these reports then the user will choose columns of there choice.

so the columns may belong to multiple tables.

Now the report should get generated with the layout etc. is it possible.

since our project is totally on the webserver(webbased.)

please if you can provide me with any links with dynamic report creation wizards.

and also we only use Stored procedures via database.

which is best is writing the entire queries right behind the layouit or calling the entire logic via Stored procedure. i am a bit confused. this is my first project working on reports itself.

Thank you all for the helpful information.

Sounds like you need to generate the report definitions programatically. The RDL Object Model code sample in this download should help.sql

Is data sent via DTS encrypted?

Hi all,

I may have a requirement to send data from a SQL Server at site A to an Oracle server at site B. These sites have no network connection between them, and the current suggestion is to use ftp, but the transfer (or username and password) will not be encrypted.

If I create a DTS package transferring data from site A, will that transfer be encrypted?

If not, is there an option with SQL Server DTS to ensure that the data is sent in an encrypted form?

Thanks in advance.No, data isn't automagically encrypted when using DTS. You can use a secure (VPN) link that will encrypt the data. You can put the data into a file and encrypt the file (if you do, compress it first to improve security). You can even create an encryption/decryption DTS task (using VC) and make that part of your DTS toolbox.

-PatP|||Thanks Pat.

Not sure that secure VPN is an option to be honest I'm afraid.

The current favourite is actually to ftp an encrypted .csv, I just wondered if DTS could handle the encryption and make my life easier :-)

BTW, what is VC ( or am I just having a blonde moment? )|||VC is Visual C, part of Microsoft's Visual Studio.

The only way I know to add new tasks to DTS is to write them in Visual C. This allows all kinds of interesting things to happen!

Blonde moments are expected, at least now and then. Unfortunately, I don't have blonde hair (heck, I don't have much hair), so I have to attribute those moments to other things... I'm not quite to the point where I can comfortably attribute them to senior moments yet, although from an IT perspective I'm already somewhat older than dirt!

Yes, go ahead and create the CSV file, then use an Execute Process (effectively a command line) Task to handle the encryption.

-PatP|||Thanks for all the advice Pat. I'll investigate that process.

I too am quite far from blonde, but hey, we all have the moments :-)|||Unless I'm having a Blonde moment I'm almost certain DTS tasks can be written in C# and VBScript (the tools I've used) just to name a few.|||I only know how to create a new task that you can add to the DTS designer Task Panel using Visual C. You can certainly add steps to a DTS package using C# or VBScript, but that is a completely different thing in my opinion.

-PatP|||Why not just create a stored procedure?|||There are more ways to skin that cat than there are cats, but that is no reason to stop looking for new ways!

A script or stored procedue would be easy to implement. A custom task would be more efficient to use, since you could for instance just create a step that generated your data, then feed it to the task just like you do with the FTP task.

I did something like this to move data to our mainframe using the 7.0 EM a while ago, and the task was wildly popular with our power users. It just saved them a lot of monkeying around for a task that they did rather frequently.

-PatP|||I only know how to create a new task that you can add to the DTS designer Task Panel using Visual C. You can certainly add steps to a DTS package using C# or VBScript, but that is a completely different thing in my opinion.

Ah.. yes. Your looking to make a new task for the DTS toolbar. I missed that. C# could probably handle it but I have doubts about scripting languages.
