Subscriptions SQL query

Due to the fact the reporting services allows you to query the tables you can easily write SQL which will allow you to return data from the reportserver database.

The script below specifically looks at the subscriptions table which can be created into a report with filters. It is quite handy when you have hundreds of subscriptions to easily find the one you are looking for.

Also as some developers will chose to create specific report subscriptions rather than use shared schedules it can be difficult to work out when they will be sent.

The way that the fields for the report specific times are stored is basically
1,2,4,8,16 etc for example for the day of the week field
1 is Sunday, 2 is Monday, 4 is Tuesday, 8 is Wednesday etc

All the fields are coded like this so it may be best to look at all the distinct values and then work out all the coding in your case statements.

The script will work for both reporting services 2005 and 2008 R2

Enjoy!!

  1. Hi. Do you know where you found the details that allowed you to create this? I am trying to figure out why a scheduled report executed on 1/1/2012 when it's schdule is for the 1st of May. In this table, under "Month" it has 16, which would make sense if month was done based on 1,2,4,8,16 instead of 1,2,3,4,5.

    If you have any thoughts on the matter, I'd be interested to know. cmay AT walshgroup DOT com

  2. Hi, I found all this info on the internet and posted it on my blog so wouldn't have to search for it every time I wanted to look at it.
    For the report that you have scheduled for the 1st of May I would check the description of the schedule in report manager first and then look at your query. The query above doesn't account for everything its just a starter.

  3. Hey,

    Thanks for this. Thought I'd share this bitwise function to avoid larger case statements.

    SELECT
    A.DaysOfWeek
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 1 As 'Sunday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 2 As 'Monday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 4 As 'Tuesday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 8 As 'Wednesday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 16 As 'Thursday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 32 As 'Friday'
    , A.DaysOfWeek & 64 As 'Saturday'
    FROM [ReportServer].[dbo].[Schedule] A
