How to change the default "filter" on Executionlog?

In the ReportServer database there is a table named Executionlog, which
contains data on the reports executed. But at any given time, it only seems
to contain data for the last 2 months. How do I change this filter?Found it!
Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to Reporting Services. Right
click on the server name in the Object Explorer and select Properties. Under
the "Logging" folder you can change days of history.

How to change the data type of an IDENTITY column

Hi.
I have an existing table with an INT IDENTITY column; it contains some data
rows.
I want to change the identity column type to smallint (the data values are
within range) but am stumped. Here's what I'm trying to do (assume the
identity column is called Id):
Create tempId smallint column
save Id values in tempId
Drop Id column
Recreate Id column as identity smallint.
*** Update Id column with values from tempId
Drop tempId column
As you know, it fails on the Update step above: cannot update identity
column (I've tried set identity_insert on and that makes no difference - now
where's the set identity_update function...)
Can anyone suggest a way of doing it?
Thanks
Michael
Why are you re-creating the column as an IDENTITY? Just create it as
SMALLINT; you can't have it both ways.

|||Adam,
Thanks, but it needs to be an identity column. And I can have it both ways!
I've just found a way to do what I want:
Save the data into a temp table
delete the data
drop the int identity column
recreate the identity column as smallint
identity_insert on
insert rows from temp table
identity_insert off
drop temp table.
A bit long winded, but it works. (I've left out minor detail re. constraints
etc.)
Thanks

Keep in mind that you'll have to insert those rows one-by-one with a cursor
or loop if you want to guarantee the same order.

Sorry I don't understand.
What do you mean by order and why would this be important to me?

How to change the column measure into Row Measure in Reporting services

Hi,

I am wondering how to create a matrix that contains 1 dimension for Top Label (Column), let's say "Year-Month"

and then 2 Measure to be in the row format rather than columnar format.

Example as below :

Year-Month on the column, and the measure is on the row :

2007-04 2007-05 2007-06 Amount Sales 1000 2000 3000 Unit Sales 10 20 30 Total 1010 2020 3030

Please share with me if you have this solution in Reporting services as it works in excel, hyperion brio, bo, cognos but somehow cannot see that function in Reporting Services.

Thanks

best regards,

Tanipar

This is easily supported (no need to quote every other tool under the sun to prove your piont).

You just have to drag the field from the dataset window to the right area and drop when you see a horizontal bar

How to call ReportViewer Refresh method?

I have a web form with a textbox that contains a parameter for a report defined in the ReportViewer control. I want to refresh the report when the user clicks on my refresh button. I can't find the Refresh method. It works if I click on the reviewer's refresh button, but my users need to see that big button that says Refresh. Any ideas of how to call the refresh method? ThanksFound it.
