[...] Cukup repot juga ketika hendak mengsintal database contoh yang digunakan dalam banyak dokumentasi MS SQL Server 2008.Database tersebut bisa didownload dari http://www.codeplex.com (search saja dengan nama database di atas).Tetapi ketika diinstal, bisa bolak-balik gagal karena syaratnya tidak terpenuhi.Untuk bisa menginstall database AdventureWorks2008, anda hendaknya sudah menginstall Full-text Search ketika melakukan setup SQL Server 2008. Walaupun ada cara untuk mengakalinya (agar bisa menginstal database AdventureWorks2008 tanpa Full-text Search tersedia), namun sebaiknya fitur tersebut ada.Syarat kedua yang tidak boleh tidak, anda harus mengaktifkan FILESTREAM. Caranya, klik-kanan pada instance server yang ingin digunakan, pilih "Properties". Klik pada page "Advanced". Nah di situ ada properti Filestream Access Level. Ubah nilainya menjadi "Full access enabled". Klik "OK" lalu restart instance server tersebut.Dari pengalaman melakukan pencarian tentang problem ketika menginstal database AdventureWorks2008, saya mendapatkan alamat berikut ini (biar saya juga tidak lupa ) http://www.ssas-info.com/analysis-services-faq/29-mgmt/242-how-install-adventure-works-dw-database-analysis-services-2005-sample-databasehttp://www.eggheadcafe.com/conversation.aspx?messageid=33514089&threadid=33514089http://techpunch.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/sql-server-2008-installing-the-adventureworks-sample-datab…http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlserversamples/thread/c0cbd494-a864-485c-9cc2-ff88426520da  Share this post: | | | | Posted: Aug 03 2009, 03:17 PM by haertalib | with no comments Filed under: SQL Server 2008 [...]

Comment on SQL Server Reporting Services – Url Parameters in SharePoint Integrated Mode by Bhavesh

http://devmoss2007vpc/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?RelativeReportUrl=/reportingservices/level1.rdl&rp:Services=4,5,3,6

URL does not work with SSRS 2005 hosted in sharepoint mode

Using same url with SSRS 2008 works fine.

I notices my URL
http://devmoss2007vpc/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?RelativeReportUrl=/reportingservices/level1.rdl&rs:Command=Render&Services=4,5,3,6
does not work, the reason being I’m using SSRS 2005. Passing URL paramters works fine with SSRS 2008.

Probably you need to use HTML viewer when using SSRS 2008 in sharepoint mode

The following is a KB that is related.

Maybe the firewall driver also uses http.sys?
Hope it helps someone.

Good day to all. Here’s the solution on How to install the AdventureWorksDb2008.

1. Install SLQServer2008
2. Check all the features(Specially the Full Text Features)
3. After installing the SQLServer2008, install the SQLEXPRESS_Advance
4. After installing everything, go to the services and enable the SQL Full Text Features. Set it to automatic and start the service.
5. Run SQL Server Configuration Manager and you will be able to find the SQL Server Services. In the SQL Server Services, Right Click SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), click properties, then go to FILESTREAM tab, and enable the the FILESTREAM for T-SQL access. no need to check the other. then click OK
6. start your SQL management Studio
7. You will not be able to find the AdventureWorks database at first. what you need to do is to attach the database. the database can be found in the instancename folder.

Hope this willhelp.

The absence of any info re installing – configuring or whatever is necessary to have full text search makes it impossible for a beginner to begin. saying you need the filter daemon launcher running doesn’t help without an instruction – at least a hint – of how to accomplish that.
