rsInvalidItemPath Error and Jump to URL Issues

I am having a navigation issue with jump to URLs in reports. When I have a report that supports drilldown if I click the drill down then click a Jump To URL to render the next report I get a second toolbar. If the drill down was never clicked the jump to works fine.

My workaround was to try and create a javascript url to reset the url for the top frame. However, the same url that was working before is now throwing an rsInvalidItemPath error. Any thoughts?

Here is my original Jump To URL expression that was causing the second toolbar to appear on drill down:

=Globals!ReportServerUrl + "?/Early Life/Early Life Technician Summary QA&pDate=" + Parameters!pDate.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&pArea=" + Fields!Measures_AreaUniqueName.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true"

Renders as:
http://ilschd-sitdev01/ReportServer?/Early%20Life/Early%20Life%20Technician%20Summary%20QA&pDate=%5BOrder%20Finalized%20Date%5D.%5BFiscal%5D.%5BMonth%5D.%5BDecember,%202005%5D&pArea=%5BArea%5D.%5BOffices%5D.%5BArea%5D.%26%5BChicago%20North%5D&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true

I changed the Jump to URL expression to the following to try and fix the toolbar issue:

=top.location.href='" + Globals!ReportServerUrl + "?/Early Life/Early Life Technician Summary QA&pDate=" + Parameters!pDate.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&pArea=" + Fields!Measures_AreaUniqueName.Value.ToString().Replace("&", "%26") + "&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true" + "'"

Renders as:
BLOCKED SCRIPTtop.location.href='http://ilschd-sitdev01/ReportServer?/Early%20Life/Early%20Life%20Technician%20Summary%20QA&pDate=%5BOrder%20Finalized%20Date%5D.%5BFiscal%5D.%5BMonth%5D.%5BDecember,%202005%5D&pArea=%5BArea%5D.%5BOffices%5D.%5BArea%5D.%26%5BChicago%20North%5D&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=true'

This version of Jump to URL causing the rsInvalidPath Exception to be thrown.

Did you get this problem fixed, Adam? I have a similar problem it sounds like where I have a record containing an "&" but SRS is trying to read it as two parameters instead of one, so I get the same 260 characters long error.|||

You can use POST instead of GET i.e. using a HTML form with hidden fields rather than building up a URL string. This should get you around the 260 character limit.

rsInvalidDataSourceReference Error

Hi,

I have published the data source and the report on the report server programmatically. When i open the report either using URL redirection (programmatically) or from the Report Manager screen, the following error message is displayed.

The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)

If I change the report properties manually using Report Manager screen and bind the data source to the report, it works fine.

Is there any solution to bind it programmatically ?

Thanks in advance.It sounds like the RDL is not set correctly to point to where the datasource is being deployed. You can either change the RDL or call SetItemDatasources (RS 2005) or SetReportDatasources (RS 2000) to set the data source to point to the shared data source.|||Thanks, I also had got a solution last week, though was work-around, was still useful.|||

I am having the same problem.

Would you give me the work around to the problem.

|||

Hi All,

I also got this error today for the very first time and I was wondering how it is created.

I have been using RS for nearly 2 years and never seen this message before. When I go into Report->Data Sources it tells me "The shared Data Source Reference is no longer valid" and all I need to do is to reconnect the data source.

Also, if I delete a report and redeploy it then it will also connect to the data source correctly even though it is the same data source....but if I redeploy a report without deleting it the message is issued.

This seems like a really strange one...I would like to know if anyone knows how this happens...I have two other report projects which are functioning just fine and after I reconnect the data source all is fine... ?

Thanks In Advance

rs:ParameterLanguage URL access parameter

We tried setting rs:ParameterLanguage=en-US in the URL so international
users dates would stay in the MM/DD/YYYY format but it isn't working. We
have SP1 installed. Has anyone used this parameter successfully and if so
do you have any suggestions? Please help, our customers in the UK would
like to be able to view their reports. Thanks!Hi,
You can test this online on internet:
http://128.171.208.112/ReportServer?/Product%20Line%20Sales&rs:Command=Render&rc:zoom=100&rc:Parameters=True&rs:ParameterLanguage=en-us
Just add a new end date as parameter and press View.

select August 24, 2004 - instead of 8/24/2004 (how it should be), it
displays as 24/8/2004 which causes an error. I have SP1 installed, using

rs:ClearSession not working

the report data does not refresh even though i added the rs:ClearSession parameter to the URL..i have to click the refresh button to get the latest data..

the URL i use:

http://localhost/Alcon/Reports.aspx?rs:ClearSession=true&distCd=DPI&SOSummary=true

any ideas on how to solve this problem?

What is Reports.aspx? Is that your custom application?|||

yes, thr Reports.aspx is the pageviewer actually..

i already solve the problem... but the solution was a bit weird... i have to add the rs:ClearSession to the parameter of the report and not on the URL.

RS URL access

Is URL access possible using SQL Server Standard Edition?

Assuming you are talking about accessing Reporting Services via URL access, it is supported in all editions. If you are talking about HTTP endpoints in the database, they are supported in standard and enterprise.

See http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx for full edition differences.|||It is RS but SQL Server 2000 not 2005.|||yes. if you still have not found out. I use 2000 version too because we have not got around to getting updated.

RS on SSL losing querystring in URL

Hi,
This is a live problem that Iam facing,
There is this internet application (in SSL) which I deployed at my
Client which access reports by calling something like
https://in4suite.symphonysv.com/ReportServer?/reports/ChangeInDealSizeReport&rs:Command=Render&userid=3®ionid=0
Here is the THE PROBLEM.
After I call the report (by clicking a link in the application) in the
INTERNET application, it opens well taking the default values. When I
change one value in any of the parameters, the parameter toolbar hangs
with the white blank screen. There is no postback happening or it is
hanging at the post back. So The customer cant do anything except see
the report for the default values.
I did this research. I called a report, When I right-clicked on the
report page to see the Properties window, I noticed that the parameters
in the URL which were supposed to be passed are not there. So the
Address:URL looked like this
https://in4suite.symphonysv.com/ReportServer?%2freports%
It does not carry any info on the URL except the report folder. So I
believe this is why the report is hanging. So this means the
querystring is being lost.
What is the workaround or trick to let the URL in full be available
after calling the report the first time. This will help the post back
occur Iam sure.
Help Please.
Anand Sagar
In4VelocityNo WAIT !!
I was wrong. The complete URL qureystring is still there. It does not
lose the querystring, I was not scrolling down completely.
The reason for the problem is something else.|||Here is the actual problem.
Iam passing a parameter '&userid=3' in the URL when I first call the
report. The report shows up fine. Then when I change any other
parameter value in the report parameters UI, a post back occurs and the
report hangs. I noticed that when I drag down the separator between the
parameter area and the report area, I see another report page behind
which says
"This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report
parameter 'userid'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must
provide a parameter value. (rsReportParameterValueNotSet)"
So this means when a postback occurs, the default parameter in the URL
is lost. Why does this happen. Any ideas ? The report server is in SSL.
Is this an issue ?
Thanks,
Anand Sagar

RS Lag on First Report

When I first call for a report (from URL access or called from ASP 3.0), it
takes about 10 seconds before it appears. Subsequent reports take less than
a second to appear. I'm not really sure where this lag is likely to come
from, e.g. IIS, RS, SQL Server, etc.
Where and how do I configure RS to stay "alive" longer once started (session
expiration? compile options?) and also to decrease the lag time for the
first report? Since my application is used 24x7 as far as I'm concerned it
should always be ready and quick.
Thanks.This is due to IIS.
Go to IIS Manager, under Applocation Pools node, right click
"DefaultAppPool" in which the Reporting Server work process is running,
select properties. On "Performace" tag, you will see, by default, the app
pool will shut down if > being idle for 20 min. You can extend this time to
8x60min 480min, so that the app pool will not shut down for a regular
working day. However, the first report reader of the day, will hit the
delay. You may schedule a dummy report at beginning of a work day for this.
If you have any activity at all then users should never see a delay.

Hello,

Unfortunatelly I face the same problem.

I just put a little bit more info.

In the "reporting service" area of the application management, there is 3 links:
