Performance Dashboard Errors

After installing Performance Dashboard, I receive the following variations of the following error message when I run reports :

The 'version_string' parameter is missing a value.

Anyone else seen this, and how did you fix the problem?

What is the service pack level on SQL Server?|||

I am getting the same error message

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

How are you trying to run the reports? You need to open performance_dashboard_main.rdl - that's the starting point. The reports are all subreports you access from the main dashboard report.

I am also getting the "error during processing of 'version_string' report" Error even though we have service pack 2 and the latest hotfix on our 32 bit clustered SQL 2005 server (current build 9.0.3054)

I can "remote desktop" to the server and run the "performance_dashboard_main.rdl" in a local SSMS "custom report" view but when I start SSMS on my local workstation with full admin rights on the server, opening "Custom reports" and pointing to a shared network directory OR my local "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\PerformanceDashboard" directory containing all the RDL files and I get the above error.

The session I connect to SQL server with has full admin rights and I can do all my normal SSMS activities with no problems .. except run the performance dashboard.

Many thanks for any suggestions on this one.

Any resolution on this?

Thanks

Still nothing and even Google doesnt seem to have much of any use.

Its a real pity as I can see it would be useful to have the performance dashboard working.

|||

I have a "Fix" for this one though I dont yet know teh consequence of it fully. Since the "version_string" was coming back with an invalid value I decided to see if I could either out in a valid version string or get rid of it completely.

The performance_dashboard_main.rdl is a XML file so I searched for and found

<ReportParameter Name="version_string">
<DataType>String</DataType>
<DefaultValue>
<Values>
<Value>="1.0 (" + FormatDateTime(CDate("Jan 9, 2007")) + ")"</Value>
</Values>
</DefaultValue>
<AllowBlank>true</AllowBlank>
<Prompt>version_string</Prompt>
<Hidden>true</Hidden>
</ReportParameter>

which I changed to several different values (as a new filename) until I just removed it as below

<ReportParameter Name="version_string">
<DataType>String</DataType>
<DefaultValue>
<Values>
<Value>=""</Value>
</Values>
</DefaultValue>
<AllowBlank>true</AllowBlank>
<Prompt>version_string</Prompt>
<Hidden>true</Hidden>
</ReportParameter>

and the renamed rdl file "performance_dashboard_new_main.rdl" seems to work.

Hi all.
I've got a SQL Server 2k sp3 on Win 2003.
It has the Performance Counters listed for SQL Server, but when I select = any of the counters, they don't show any activity.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick

You may want to check your event logs to see if anything is being
logged.
Check sysperfinfo to see what information is there.
Rebuild the performance counters:

Okay... nothing in the sysperinfo table. That would explain why the
counters are reading 0. I'm still trying to track down the problems
though. I will try the rebuild later today and see what happens.

You can do it either way. In SSRS, you could use an expression similar
to this to get the percentages per department.
=(Fields!Sales.Value/Sum(Fields!Sales.Value)) * 100
And then in the format section of the table column properties for the
T1 column, set the format to: #.00%
Hope this helps.
