How to change SSRS 2008 locale - ssrs-2008

I've spent many hours searching on Internet but kind of desperate at this point.
We have a report having two DataSet fields defined as
Date_Difference = Round((DateDiff("d", Fields!StartDate.Value, Fields!EndDate.Value))* Fields!ProjectStatusPct.Value)
status_date = CDate(DateAdd("d", Fields!Date_Difference.Value, Fields!StartDate.Value))
Both SSRS and BIDS are installed on the same server(VM, Windows Server 2008 R2). The Region, Language, Format, everything i can think of on the machine is configured as en_US.
The language in report property is en-US, also i have this en-US defined in the report code to be sure.
<Language>en-US</Language>
Also in reportViewer.aspx, i changed
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportViewerPage"%>
to
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportViewerPage" Culture="en-US"%>
as suggested by some post.
The data source server(MSSQL 2008, on the same machine) Language is en-US as well.
The report looks fine in the BIDS designer. However, when i deploy it to the server, the date format get messed up. The Reporting Server takes MM/dd/yyyy(US format) as dd/MM/yyyy (Canada format). As a result, the status_date field is always generating wrong date, or NULL if it comes to a date like 03/31/2012
When I look at the SSRS log files, the header always displays as
<Header><Product>Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 2007.0100.5500.00 ((Katmai_PCU_Main).110922-0336 )</Product><Locale>English (Canada)</Locale><TimeZone>Pacific Daylight Time</TimeZone><Path>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\Logfiles\ReportServerService__06_07_2012_16_30_41.log</Path><SystemName>KAM1ODDBS06</SystemName><OSName>Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1</OSName><OSVersion>6.1.7601</OSVersion><ProcessID>1160</ProcessID></Header>rshost!rshost!ec0!06/07/2012-16:30:41:: i INFO: CLR runtime is initialized.
So I think the BIDS takes the local machine's language setup then it handles the date correctly.
More information :
the brower(IE) 's language is en_US
when i deploy the report to other reporting server having en_US locale, it works.
My question is, how to change this reporting server's locale to en_US as well?

I think setting the Server Language might fix it. There are two levels of assigning the locale one is at the Report Level and other at the TextBox or field level if you may. Check what is there in your field. Just in case you might be also interested in this one http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155064(v=sql.100).aspx it talks about the case which you have described.

Windows Defender to find localization numeric value for Reporting

i need to create some SSRS reports For Windows Defender .. i need to find localization numeric values for Detection source
Detection Source: <Detection source> for example:
User: user initiated
System: system initiated
Real-time: real-time component initiated
IOAV: IE Downloads and Outlook Express Attachments initiated
NIS: Network inspection system
IEPROTECT: IE - IExtensionValidation; this protects against malicious webpage controls
Early Launch Antimalware (ELAM). This includes malware detected by the boot sequence
Remote attestation
Reference link enter link description here
i need to select in case so i need to know numeric values for each of option.
one thing is can use
SrsResources.Localization.GetString(Choose(Fields!DetectionSource.Value,"DetectionByUser","System","Realtime","IOAV","NIS","BHO","ELAM","LocalAttestation","RemoteAttestation","AMSI","UAC"), User!Language)
but then i dont have acces to Visual Studio as iam database person.. so cant create DLL and include in reference of report.
Please help me out how to find numeric values to each one of these.
From the statement SrsResources.Localization.GetString, I am guessing that you're using SCCM since that exact statement is part of the SCCM report:
Endpoint Protection -> Endpoint Protection - Hidden -> Computer malware list
If that's the case, then just copy the report and change what you need and the function will work.
Because in the report properties the srsresources.dll is referenced as SrsResources, culture=neutral, the dll is needed in order to translate the value to the correct name in the language the user running the report is using.
If you're just interested in the numeric values behind each entry, however, then it is just a list starting with one. Meaning:
"DetectionByUser",
“System",
“Realtime",
“IOAV",
"NIS",
"BHO",
"ELAM",
“LocalAttestation",
"RemoteAttestation",
"AMSI",
"UAC"

BIRT (Eclipse BIRT) - Date format in Runtime and Designer version differ

I'm using Eclispse BIRT version 4.7.0 to run reports in various formats,
My report has a date field in the following format: 'DD/MM/YYYY/'
When I run the report through the Eclipse BIRT Designer application, with the WebViewer, or to PDF for example, the date comes printed in the expected format, for example it prints '05/07/2006'
But when I run the report using the Runtime Engine (via command line) it prints the same date value like this: 'Jul, 5, 2006'
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to solve it?
Thank you!

Jaspersoft float number pattern

Im using Jaspersoft Studio to design my reports and JasperReports Server to publish them for my php web application.
In one of my reports it contains some float numbers displayed in the format 103.12 but i want it to be displayed like this: 103,12 and when it reaches 5 digits like this 50 000,14.
After some reading i tried to set the local to french but nothing changed.
And when i change the pattern in the jasperstudio to # ###,00 i get this :
and for the old pattern #,###.00 that comes by default in the jasperstudio i get this :
Analysis
We dealt with this as well. The locale which is being set in the JasperReports server login page is just for the admin UI, not for the report generation.
Solution
If you want to have a different locale set on your server, you need to set it in the JasperReports server config in /jasperreport-path/apache-tomcat/bin/setenv.sh (add it into one of those JAVA_OPTS):
-Duser.language=FR -Duser.country=FR
Now all locale-specific settings will be correctly configured and putting #,###.00 as a pattern for the field will be translated to your locale format by default in the server. So for the french format would be displayed like this: 1 000,12.

error in jasperserver :Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME

I know this may be duplicate question.
I have this error when I start my community jasperserver, and load a report has custom visualization component , and this error occur.
disappear. when I call:
http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/reportresource/reportresource?resource=com/jaspersoft/jasperreports/customvisualization/resources/require/cv-component.js
nothing returns, so this may be the problem right ?
but when I start the jasperserver commercial version , this error disappear. when I call:
http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/reportresource/reportresource?resource=com/jaspersoft/jasperreports/customvisualization/resources/require/cv-component.js
it returns the content of this cv-component.js.
any idea ?
the trick (which wored for me after hours of triel-and-error) is to set the proper configuration in jasperreports.properties (on an windows machine):
com.jaspersoft.jasperreports.components.customvisualization.require.js=file:/C:/path/to/require.js
net.sf.jasperreports.web.resource.pattern.customvisualization.scripts=com/jaspersoft/jasperreports/customvisualization/resources/require/.*
See the "file:/...." and "...require/.* specially... (a bit different than in teh jaspersoft docs...)

JasperServer: Unable to locate the subreport exception

I searched for a couple of days to fix this bug with nothing new.
I had a report which include multi-level subreports everything works fine on iReport 3.7.5. I used subreport.jasper as subreport expression in the first level & also subreportA.jasper, subreportB.jasper in the second level & place all (the main report & subreports) in the same path.
The problem raised when I try to deploy it on my JasperServer.
When I try to upload the first main report the iReport wizard offerd me to attach the first subreport.jrxml in resource folder and access it with repo:subreport.jrxml or repo:subreport.jasper.
Then I manually upload the second level subreports and do the same thing change the subreport expression to repo:subreportA.jasper and repo:subreportB.jasper.
I got compilation error : Unable to locate the subreport with expression: ""repo:subreport.jasper"". java.lang.Exception: repo:subreport.jrxml not found.
I try dozen solution and nothing works.
using : SUBREPORT_DIR # the beginning,
using full path : repo:/Circuit_Reports/Connectivity/Connectivity_files/,
switch between .jasper & .jrxml.
using jasperserver_api_engine_impl_0_fix.jar in lib folder as a fixation to this bug,
I also searched the database record to be sure that they are in the same folder and have the same parent folder.
Smalltalk before Longtalk ;)
(Of course I don't want to encourage you to read everything of this long detailed post! The bold markers may already be enough to solve your problems but I found it worth documenting this tricky stuff in some more detail!)
Since I invested another couple of hours on this (after I resolved it some weeks ago, had a change now, but forgot to document it properly, forgot how I did it and could not retrieve this info again in any form - when uploading and configuring to/in JasperServer) ... here is some aggregated functionality mentioned on various sites regarding subreport referencing, how it works and what one can try ...
(I'll update mine or other findings in here if there hopefully will be some)
Short cut details / best practices?!4
Till maybe Jasper functionality provides a similar "wrapping" solution itself ...
To workaround all the problems related to running the *.jrxml, *.jasper files either locally in Preview mode or remotely on a JasperServer I am now using the following approach which allows to work with only a single *.jrxml file, that will work locally and remotely without modifications, in a multi-developer environment, supporting independent refactoring of dir structures (paths, names) per environment (= as it should ;-) ):
using some jasper-utils-*.jar
put it in your project (Java) class path (Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries->Add)
put it in your ../jasperserver/WEB-INF/lib/ folder
referencing some custom Jasper Java Scriptlet jr.utl.EnvScriptlet that does the ugly subreport path/reference magic in your master reports
define the REPORT_SCRIPTLET by adding an attribute to your master report: report properties -> Report -> Data Set -> Scriptlet Class: jr.utl.EnvScriptlet
using some custom properties file jr.utl.properties or otherwise supplied system properties (any other way to set the Java system properties would be fine as well and work - where already set up properties will override loaded file properties) to configure the different environments including your
current environment information via jr.utl.env property (prod, myOsUsrName, test, demo, staging, local, ...)
which determines how the subreport references must be generated / look like
server subreport parent directory property references
take e.g. these property file contents and put one per environment here:
on your servers: ../jasperserver/WEB-INF/classes/jr.utl.properties
jr.utl.env=prod
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.parentdir=repo:/x/y/z/
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep2.parentdir=repo:/x/y/z/
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep3.parentdir=repo:/x/y/foobar/
in your local JasperSoft Studio (Eclipse) Java src/build path: e.g. ../myrepproject/src/java/jr.utl.properties
jr.utl.env=dietrian
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.parentdir=D:/reporting/src/reports/
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep2.parentdir=D:/reporting/src/reports/
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep3.parentdir=D:/reporting/src/reports.otherdir/
to achive source modification independency in our environments we parameterized those values and generate them once via some workspace-dependent/user-specific local.properties file, based on this idea:
|- build.xml (containing the ANT build magic)
|- build.properties (containing global properties)
|- local.properties (ignored in version control, e.g. .hgignore, user-specific generated from local.template.properties)
|- local.template.properties (source for ANT build task generating the local.properties above)
|- mycomp.local.proj.reporting.dir=D:/reporting
|- src/reports
|- jr.utl.properties (ignored in version control, user-specificly generated based on template below)
|- jr.utl.template.properties (source for ANT build task generating the jr.utl.properties above)
jr.utl.env=${user.name}
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.parentdir=${mycomp.local.proj.reporting.dir}/src/reports/
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep2.parentdir=${mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.parentdir}
mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep3.parentdir=${mycomp.local.proj.reporting.dir}/src/reports.otherdir/
defining your BASE_DIR master report parameters as e.g.
$P{REPORT_SCRIPTLET}.getProp("mycompany.allsubreports.parentdir") (matching some environment-dependent property in your jr.utl.properties file)
defining the master subreport expressions as e.g. jr.utl.EnvScriptlet.getSubrepPath( $P{BASE_DIR}, "subrep1.jrxml")
automatically resolving the values from properties you could also use e.g. these variants:
jr.utl.EnvScriptlet.getSubrepPathByPropKey( $P{BASE_DIR}, "mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.name")
jr.utl.EnvScriptlet.getSubrepPathByPropKeys( "mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.parentdir", "mycompany.local.jr.gui.rep.subrep1.name")
$P{REPORT_SCRIPTLET}.getSubrepPath(...) does not work here :-( (I don't know why)
do not forget to restart your server when you put all the files on the server!
(4: Of course I am still seeing some minor improvements here, but it seems much better than all the ugly solutions I found till now. Improvements I would see:
using the REPORT_SCRIPTLET or scriptlet functionality may not be the best way to go, but it will probably work in the vast majority of use cases
although both existing Jasper classes suggest this they do not seem to be able to handle the above properly:
FileResolver
RepositoryUtil
)
(5: the relevant special handling is encoded here: EnvScriptlet.java/getSubrepPath(String,String,boolean,String[]))
Intro (Background)
First thing to know is that the handling/setup in JasperStudio is quite different from the handling on Jasper Server (Repository)5 ...
suppose we have the following enviroments:
our Eclipse install dir: C:\eclipse\
our Eclipse (Report) workspace: C:\workspace\
our report project under: C:\workspace\report-project\
our reports under: C:\workspace\report-project\src/reports
a master report C:\workspace\report-project\src/reports/masterrep.jrxml
some subreport C:\workspace\report-project\src/reports/subrep1.jrxml
another subreport C:\workspace\report-project\src/reports/somesubdir/subrep2.jrxml
the BASE_DIR (explained in next section) in our workspace master report is set to C:\workspace\report-project\src/reports/
our Jasper Report Server GUI repo id-path of our master report will be: /x/y/z/
(which is not to-be-confused with the visual named-path, e.g. which could be Financial Reports/Expenses/Current Year)
In general: Jasper Studio, JasperServer
(and other "Jasper runtime environments" like custom Java Jasper package usage):
it seems a good practice to declare a report parameter "prefix" which can vary depending on your Jasper runtime environment e.g. named BASE_DIR
important here is that it seems best to assume the suffixed / may be included1 because there are cases where you may have/want to use it in a way where it should be an empty or "unslashed" path expression
e.g. $P{BASE_DIR} + "subrep1.jrxml" which should resolve to
repo:subrep1.jrxml
see e.g. here for more details (look for SUBREPORT_DIR)
(1: which I personally find a bad practice in general (not looking at Jasper Reports in this respect) when dealing with directory-like structures)
JasperStudio Designer (Eclipse Plugin)
(the official IReport successor with loads of more functionality)
(if you do not use the preview functionality this may be uninteresting to you)
unfortunately I found no practical way to fully support (normal) "team-development" with subreports (and likely other relative resources as well), meaning here the (currently to me unknown) inexistent possiblity to separate local paths and *.jrxml files :-(
e.g. if you have a version control system in place and work in different environments (different local paths to repos and/or different developers) the master report has to contain a local path to your subreport in some way)
I tried different approaches that failed:
relative path expressions in BASE_DIR do not work since the working directory is the eclipse dir, e.g. C:\eclipse
Eclipse->Window->Preferences->JasperStudio->Properties->Add e.g. my.base.dir
it is not available in the Preview mode, e.g. via new java.io.File(System.getProperty("my.base.dir")).getCanonicalPath() + "/" for our BASE_DIR expression (these props may be only used by the designer itself, but not set in preview runs)
just in case you may stumble upon (as I did): Eclipse->Window->Preferences->JasperStudio->Report Execution->Virtualizer Temporary Path is something unrelated (not useful here) dealing with the storage of the report result "caching"
of course I could write an ANT task to replace these local pattern based on a regexp filter copy on every usage/checkout, but that seems not a good way to handle this
if you solely want to work with *.jrxml files (as I do3) you have to reference some subrep1.jrxml like this: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager.compileReport($P{BASE_DIR} + "subrep1.jrxml")
(3: I don't need the *.jasper files explicitely and do not see why I want to deal with them. BTW the JasperServer WebGUI only seems to support the upload of *.jrxml files)
JasperServer Web GUI
(e.g. provided by some Tomcat application server and storing its data in some postgres database)
Scenario 1: reference attached subreport resource(s)
if you do not want to reuse your report in general, it seems fine to add your supreport to your master report (so it is not visible in the GUI repo tree - see below subitem how you could reference it outside of your master anyways)
if you attach your subreport it should in general have its file name as its resource id, e.g. our subrep1.jrxml from above is uploaded with a resource id of subrep1.jrxml (thus making the handling of local design references and server references less complicated)
taking the example reports from above we have to set our BASE_DIR to repo: in the to-be-uploaded master report
thus the subreport expressions $P{BASE_DIR} + "subrep1.jrxml" and $P{BASE_DIR} + "somesubdir/subrep2.jrxml" should work on the server as well
NOT recommended!: you could still reference these reports from other reports with absolute paths like this2: repo:/x/y/z/masterrep.jrxml_files/masterrep.jrxml_
(2: which I would not recommend in this case; it's undocumented and may change; better put your subreports then into the "GUI repo path" as described below)
Scenario 2: reference repo subreport resource(s)
suppose we upload our subreports to the master repo id-path /x/y/z/ (as shown on top)
again we have to differentiate two different use cases
we do NOT want to use the subreport as a standalone report (it will always only be included in other master reports)
in this case we should upload it using Add Resource->File->JRXML and reference it
../subrep1.jrxml or ./subrep1.jrxml do not work since it seems the underlying logic cannot handle the relative path expression .. (and likely . not as well) (which would actually be nice :-( )
so what we have to do here is to supply an absolute canonical path in the BASE_DIR of our masterrep.jrxml, e.g. repo:/x/y/z/
we want to use the subreport as a standalone report as well
in this case we should upload it using Add Resource->JasperReport
this obviously creates a hidden folder repo:/x/y/z/subrep1.jrxml_files containing the report itself and other resources
that's why we not only have to adjust the BASE_DIR (as above), but also the subreport expression to, e.g. $P{BASE_DIR} + "subrep1.jrxml_files/subrep1.jrxml_" (which points to the subreport itself)
and maybe remove the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager.compileReport(...) wrapper function, because the server does this automatically for *.jrxml files
I did not fully investigate some other likely incorrectly used approaches which did not work for me to solve the mentioned problems (maybe somebody else has some outcome/corrections here):
$P{REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER}.resolveFile("subrep1.jrxml") (NullPointerException)
resulting in empty subreport sections in master report:
$P{REPORT_CONTEXT}.getRealPath("subrep1.jrxml")
$P{REPORT_CONTEXT}.getProperty("REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER").resolveFile("subrep1.jrxml")
Additional hints
Since I like to automate the report design and deployment process as much as it makes sense I wrote some ANT tasks that handle the local *.jrxml file to deployable *.jrxml file transformations regarding the BASE_DIR and the other transformations.
SQL helpful to easily investigate the resource id path structures in a jasper server postgres meta database (following something like jdbc:postgresql://myjasperhost/jasperserver connecting e.g. with the postgres user):
select
f.id as folder_id,
r.id as res_id,
case when f.hidden = true then 1 else 0 end as hidden,
f.uri||case when f.uri = '/' then '' else '/' end||coalesce(r.name,'') as res_uri,
r.resourcetype,
r.creation_date,
r.update_date,
f.uri,
r.name,
-- less important
r.version,
r.parent_folder,
r.childrenfolder,
f.parent_folder,
f.version,
f.name
-- select *
from jiresourcefolder f
left outer join jiresource r on (r.parent_folder = f.id)
where not f.uri like '/themes%'
order by f.uri||coalesce(r.name,'')

Not sure if this mechanism works in all cases but it certainly works for JasperSoft Studio 5.6.0 and Jasper Reports Server 5.6.0.
Essentially we need a simple way to detect that we are running on the server - I use the presence (or absence) of the $P{REPORT_CONTEXT} parameter which experiments show is present on the server but not present during preview.
<parameter name="OnServer" class="java.lang.Boolean" isForPrompting="false">
<parameterDescription><![CDATA[Are we running on server]]></parameterDescription>
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[Boolean.valueOf($P{REPORT_CONTEXT}!=null)]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
Once you have that you can then define the location of your subreport from a choice of two:
<parameter name="SubReportProducts" class="java.lang.String" isForPrompting="false">
<parameterDescription><![CDATA[The products subreport]]></parameterDescription>
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[$P{OnServer}.booleanValue() ? "repo:OrderPicksheetProducts.jrxml" : "OrderPicksheetProducts.jasper"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
And then include the sub report:
<subreportExpression><![CDATA[$P{SubReportProducts}]]></subreportExpression>
You can then use Preview in studio and all still works when you deploy to server.
I'm not 100% of this answer but : You have to upload your subreport as a jrxml ressource and put "repo://subreport.jrxml" to get it work.
If you read this one of those days tell me if it worked or what solutions you found.
Regards
Try removing the extension completely and use "repo:/subreportFolder/subreportName". The main report pulls the jasper file in iReport, but on the jasperserver you upload the jrxml.
