One of the biggest draw backs I am having while pitching the Telerik reporting products is the amount of work that would be involved in converting our existing report libraries to the Telerik reporting format. You all have some conversion capability built into the Telerik Reporting Designer, but it is so limited that we rarely find a report that we can use it with. I know you all have a disclaimer stating that as the case. However when I am trying to persuade my peers to take a look at your reporting products that single scenario is the one that I can never win and rightfully so.

I would really love to either see operability within your reporting server to be able to schedule and distribute a multitude of report formats such as SRSS, Active Reports, and Crystal or a much more reliable and feature rich converter. 

A great feature would be to add security over the connection strings that a user can choose from in the server. We have a development and production environment and we want to allow people to write reports but we don't want them hitting production data because they don't always build efficient queries which can take the production database down.

This would help allow access to development and production separately and help keep the DBA from yelling at me :)

Built-in option to select all available values of a multivalue report parameter.

A Multi-value parameter can use a user function to have a value accumulating all available values. Add built-in support through the expression engine.

Background: 
Our report server database undergoes maintenance every weekend. As part of this, the report server DB is taken down without stopping the Telerik service. When the DB comes back online the reporting service doesn't recognize the re-instated DB and doesn't send out reports. 

Reply from Telerik Support:
My assumption is that the Report Server has hanged due to an error when the Storage was not available. The service has probably remained in this undefined state even after re-starting the database. Note that the Storage is a required resource, hence the service cannot work without it.
We have logged the current behavior of Report Server with respect to its Storage database for improvement in our system.

Feature request:
It would be nice to get an alert/email to the Report server admins that the Report Server DB/Storage is unavailable. 

User functions should be visible in Edit Expression editor when editing Report Server's report in Standalone designer.

Considering that the server's configuration was modified to load the custom assembly with user functions as per How to configure Telerik Report Server to use reports with custom functions, there should be no other configurations required.

Hello, 

I recently upgraded our Report Server that was hosted in IIS with an HTTPS binding but after the upgrade we were unable to communicate with the server using HTTPS. We received an invalid client id error.

We updated the bindings and everything worked. However, it would be nice if we could upgrade Report Server without changing the IIS bindings.

Thank you.

It seems that when you try to open two tabs in the same browser looking at different websites, the browser gets confused about the URL that is sending the request. Issue is related to CORS protocol and HTTP caches.

It sounds like something needs to be changed on the report server so that even if it gets cached it would still allow access when I switch sub domains.  Or something on the viewer side to clear the cache.

I am trying to edit an existing user, and before changing anything I receive the error message 'The email is already taken!'. This happens occasionally.

Here is a link to a video that demonstrates the problem.

Some of my scheduled tasks generate errors in the ServiceAgent log like:

Telerik.ReportServer.ServiceAgent.exe Error: 0 : Sending an email message failed:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Exceeded storage allocation. The server response was: 4.3.1 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size
   at System.Net.Mail.DataStopCommand.CheckResponse(SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String serverResponse)
...

and

Telerik.ReportServer.ServiceAgent.exe Error: 0 : Sending an email message failed:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
   at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size)
...

In these cases, the report document seems to be generated correctly, however, it is too large to be attached to an email and there aren't any emails sent to the users.

It would be helpful to have at least notifications sent to the admin that the task was executed, but the emails were not sent due to particular reasons.

HTML5 Report Viewer cannot connect to report server for .NET.

The old report server still connects us expected.
