Reporting Services Timeouts and Display Issues - ssrs-2008

Reports that are being delivered via email/fileshare from SSRS work fine but when I try to run those same reports from IE at the management portal (http://reportserver/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx) it doesn't respond properly. At times the browser times out when connecting a report link and doesn't even display the report viewer. Other times the report viewer is displayed but the report isn't rendered. This seems to happen more on reports with larger data sets so I believe it's a timeout issue but I've tried changing what settings I can find and nothing has worked yet. I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows 7 machine. I tried the suggestions in this thread and still have issues with the viewer not rendering the report when it's a larger data set.

Cannot generate Opensearch Reports

I've updated to 2.3 on all my OpenSearch clusters in my AWS accounts. I try to generate reports in the Reporting Plugin. Both pdfs and pngs, based off of Dashboards. Only 1 time ever have I been successful to generate and download a pdf report. Most of the time the progress wheel just keeps spinning, and never finishes. I do see the browser console a few errors, and a 500, but I'm just curios if this feature even works? As across different clusters, with different versions, and different report settings it seems to not work.

Crystal Reports has stopped working

On only certain reports, Crystal Reports crashes and gives this error (see attached picture).
I am still relatively new to Crystal and am not sure how to diagnose this error or where to find error logs that might point me in the right direction. I came across a post somewhere about windows version compatibility, but I'm not sure if that's it.
I'm running Crystal Reports product version 14.1.2.1121 on Windows 10. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Try to install Crystal Reports in Windows 8.1, then later update your OS to Windows 10,then it will work fine :)
This is something that may happen from time to time in CR, except if you get this every time you open a report in particular or too often. Although the information need some additions. Is this on client or developer end?
May you have to do following steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, then click Properties then click the Advanced tab.
Click the Performance Settings button then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
Select the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: check box.
Add all of the Crystal Enterprise executables.
click ok. and close the window. open crystall report now.

SSRS 2008 Report deployment to server hides a field

When I deploy one of the reports I've made to the report server, a field that is shown when I preview in SSRS magically disappears. I've re-downloaded the report from the report server and opened it up in SSRS and the field reappears when I preview.
Has anyone encountered something like this?
I've tried searching for similar problems but nothing came up.
Please & thanks.
For a long time I have always deleted the report from the server prior to deployment when I change /Datasource/Parameters values---works for me. Then re-deploy and you should be set.

Crystal Reports Dynamic Cascading parameters are not populating

System:
Windows 7 with Crystal Reports 2013 Demo.
Windows 7 with Crystal Reports 11.5.12.1838
Initially Dynamic cascading parameters were not working for existing reports written by other analysts. The analysts are using XP systems. When they open the reports, their prompts populate correctly. Mine are blank. We downloaded 2013 to see if it was fixed in this version since XI is so old and is not officially supported on Windows 7. For one day the reports dynamic prompts were populating correctly and we were all excited. I continued on modifying the report, but had an issue and the application got closed non-gracefully. Now no dynamic prompts are populating in the report that was working yesterday. And again, any report that I open with dynamic cascading prompts do not populate. This has been an ongoing issue that we were excited that a resolution had appeared, but now we are back to square one. One of the other analysts was able to open the report again in XI and see the prompts correctly. This is a standalone report. We do not have a Crystal Report Server. We do not have Business View Manager. This issue is occuring in the designer for crystal reports on my computer only. When i copy the report to our test server and use our third party viewer(datalink) the prompts work fine.
Furthermore: Originally because of non-administrative privileges, I had my ODBC Drivers setup in user DSN. With the help of an Admin user, i setup the drivers in System DSN. I reloaded the original production report that I was trying to modify and set the location to my new dev odbc connections. But that still did not load the dynamic parameters.
From Crystal Reports Designer
From Datalink Viewer
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
This looks like a connection issue. Is the new OS 64 bits ? If it is, you need to create the ODBC connection using the tool placed in this path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
OK. This appears to be one solution. I was working with another laptop, that had a working crystal reports version. BUT, i had to do the whole maximumrowsets fix. Well, I must have messed up because the working crystal reports started doing the same thing. Oops. So I uninstalled crystal reports, deleted any of the registry keys associated with it, deleted any of the folder locations, rebooted and reinstalled and voila...it worked again. so then i used
this site and it continued to work as desired. This probably isnt the only solution, but it definitely worked for me.
I'd also like to thank campagnolo-1 for his tireless assistance.

SSRS report won't load in browser

I am new to SSRS, but have begun migrating our reports to that for my organization. I have 3 reports set up at this time, but have run into a problem. Viewing any of the reports in Report Builder works just fine, but viewing 2 of the 3 in IE (also tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera) is only sporadically successful. Report server is set up on database server, and nothing in the queries being run would tax the system.
I know the security settings are correct, as I can access everything without permissions errors; I know the reports work, as I can freely use them in Report Builder and sometimes from the browser; and I am able to always access one of my three reports through the browser. All have the same security, are in the same folder, and I have gone through the same steps to load each of them. The only difference is that the one that always loads is much simpler than the other two as far as volume of data.
Now, to explain what I actually see when this happens. I set my parameters, and click View Report, and the loading icon pops up for about 1/10th of a second, then disappears. The toolbar does not appear, no data appears, and no error message is present. Every once in a while, it all works perfectly. Most of the time, only 1 of the 3 reports works. I've tried without success to find this issue raised elsewhere -- my apologies if I missed it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
edit details: SQL Server 2008 R2, on Windows Server 2008 R2, IE9 from a Windows 7 desktop.
If you inspect the SSRS error log it may reveal more of the issue. Sounds like a processing error that was not gracefully handled. Inspect the file \SERVER\\MSRSXX.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles and find the current log file to view the exception. Depending on how the client is set up some errors may not show.
