Quick question - I'm not seeing some webpart items in Sharepoint (ie Reporting Service Items, Scorecard Items... etc). I am wondering how are those items added in Sharepoint
Would someone know some article or steps to add these items into Virtual Server Gallery
Appreciate your help in advance!

Where do you have these webparts (dll's) currently

Verify you are talking about real web parts, and not just listview web parts. ListView web parts are web parts based on lists, and are only available within the site in which the list exists. Real web parts (such as .NET web parts) need to be installed into the system, so you will either need the original CAB / WSP file, or a good working knowledge of the web part uploading process.

Hello,

I didn't install Sharepoint so I am not aware of where the files are located. I am pretty sure RS Repot Items/ Scorecard Report Items are part of the "real" web parts. Do you guys know where to look in the install directory to find CAB/WSP/DLL to additional webparts installed

Thanks,

You will need to download them from the appropriate provider then. Microsoft does not offer these web parts out of the box.

Here are some articles regarding loading the RS Webpart. Let me know if anyone can confirm this will install the webpart correctly on Sharepoint 2003.

Since I couldn't find any documentation, just verify you have installed that MSI on all WebFrontends.

Hello,

I couldn't find their documentation either. I am getting the following error when executing the msi.

"windows cannot access the specified device..."

What's the workaround Do I need to save the msi file in the system32 folder

I think you probably will be better posting that particular problem to the sourceforge.net site.

SourceForge is not helpful at all in troubleshooting the install. Would anyone happen to know

another site where I could download Reporting Services webparts (RS Report View & RS Explorer)

Your help is appreciated,

I found another site, but it says MS will phase out the site. Does that mean MS will host the site somewhere else http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/default.aspx

Hello,

Can anyone shed some light on how to resolve the following error.

I tried the following, and received the error. I didn't try the article yet because I am not sure what IP I should map it to (or if the article is revelant to the error I'm getting). This is installing on the server with Sharepoint 2003.
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN\stsadm -o addwppack -url http://sea1dmsweb03.xn.corp:80 -filename c:\law\webpart_rs\Bml.RsWebParts.Setup.CAB
Error

"The server instance specified was not found. Please specify the server's address and port."





Re: SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation Missing Webpart Items

I use nslookup to find the ip address, and I am getting the following error.

Error -

Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.
c:\law\webpart_rs\Bml.RsWebParts.Setup.CAB: The Web Part deployment failed.

Any help is appreciated,

-Lawrence

All that means is that the http:// location you specified cannot be resolved as a SharePoint-known URL. Please only use the URL naming SharePoint recognizes (with the 2003 product, that means just http://<servername>:<port>/).

Hello,

I have tried exactly the url you have suggested, but I am getting the same error. Why wouldn't stsadm work Any other workaround or troubleshooting tips
