As a user utilizing the Report Server product, I need to use a single instance of it to serve two or more completely separated divisions/clients so that they do not have access to each other's assets, so that I do not have to make two different deployments of the server and support them. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy
We use the Kendo MVC controls in our website that is hosted on Microsoft Azure. We would like to do reporting but cannot with the Telerik reporting functionality - as far as I am aware. Cloud based websites are increasing in number....
I extensively use sub reports with drill-down, drill-through actions and to fetch data, into the main report, extracted from different datasets based on a set of certain parameters. When I upload these reports to the server, I assign main and sub reports to two separate categories 'Main' and 'SubR' so that I can manage reports and users' permissions accordingly. Currently, it is not possible to 'hide' the reports under 'SubR' category for a user so that all the sub reports are hidden from view, leaving visibility of main reports only for that user. I tried by restricting user's access to the category 'SubR' so that sub reports are not visible in the list and avoid confusion from user's perspective. But when I restrict user's access to the category 'SubR', all the main reports that contain sub reports do not run correctly and start displaying 'unable to access subreport1...' error. The same error comes up if I have included a report in the main report, accessible by drill-through action. I would like to request for a functionality to 'Hide / Display' reports in conjunction with 'Read' access to the reports. This will provide further granularity to the way the reports can be made accessible and still be hidden from view.
In order to provide better data-driven subscriptions implementation, the subscribers of a Scheduled Task or Data Alert should be modified dynamically. Currently they are a static list of emails, which is not convenient when a report must be sent to a whole group of users in an organization, because the group members can constantly fluctuate. Report Server should provide the option to declare an external data retrieval service in the ST/DA subscribers list. This service could be a REST API endpoint or a file path that will return the list with the subscriber emails.
Currently, the only way to integrate with Active Directory is to use Federation Services. We do not have a Federation Server nor do we require one. It would be great to add the LDAP information and be able to authenticate with AD. While larger organizations use ADFS and its required for Azure, for small networks and organizations, ADFS is overkill for trying to achieve SSO.
As a developer integrating the the Report Server with my solution, I would like to be able to apply a fully customizable Kendo theme to the Report Server server app so that it can blend fully with my applications.
Getting this error in the browser when trying to preview a report:
Error registering the viewer with the service. An error has occurred. Incorrect value (null) deserialized. Make sure you are using CacheStorage inside single-instance application deployment only.
A possible reason is the cache for the Report Server used for previewing reports has become corrupted. A workaround is explained in the Telerik.Reporting.Cache.CacheStorage.AddInSet NullReferenceException KB article.
It will be very convenient for the user to be able to clear the cache directly from the Report Server Manager UI.
After changing the culture settings on the server machine to EN-GB (which should display the date in dd/MM/yyyy format), the Preview of the report parameters still shows the date format as default, in US format (MM/dd/yyyy).
However, I would not expect to have modified the code to fix this, it should be a configurable option and/or take local server formatting.
Reports with resources for different languages should be rendered with the language resources and client culture.
Functionality for capturing user activity like executing reports from viewers or through the Report Server Web API.
We cannot delete reports using the Report Server UI. After you select the report and choose to delete it, the report appears as removed from the list, even though the details are still visible. If you refresh the page, the report is still there.
Further investigation revealed that the ServiceAgent is not running. There is no proper error message indicating this though.
The issue is reproducible only with the Report Server running under HTTPS. When under HTTP there is a proper message stating that the ServiceAgent is stopped.
