Title: Diagnosing SSRS rsProcessingAborted Errors
Author: user
in SQL server Reporting Services,I have one report that is used in multiple subscriptions throughout a 24 hour period. some of the subscriptions failed with the error "rsProcessingAborted" how can i join [Reportserver].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2] to the [Reportserver].[dbo].[Subscriptions] in order to fidn the exact subscription with the problem
Author: ChatGPT
To diagnose the issue of failed subscriptions in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), you can join the `[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2]` table with the `[ReportServer].[dbo].[Subscriptions]` table. This will help you identify which subscriptions are encountering the `rsProcessingAborted` error.
Here is a query to achieve that:
```sql
SELECT
el2.InstanceName,
el2.ReportID,
el2.UserName,
el2.RequestType,
el2.Format,
el2.Parameters,
el2.ReportAction,
el2.TimeStart,
el2.TimeEnd,
el2.TimeDataRetrieval,
el2.TimeProcessing,
el2.TimeRendering,
el2.Source,
el2.Status,
el2.ByteCount,
el2.RowCount,
sub.SubscriptionID,
sub.Description,
sub.LastStatus,
sub.LastRunTime
FROM
[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2] el2
JOIN
[ReportServer].[dbo].[Subscriptions] sub
ON el2.ReportID = sub.Report_OID
WHERE
el2.Status = 'rsProcessingAborted'
ORDER BY
el2.TimeStart DESC;
```
### Explanation:
- `el2`: Alias for the `[ExecutionLog2]` table.
- `sub`: Alias for the `[Subscriptions]` table.
- The join is made on `el2.ReportID` and `sub.Report_OID`, assuming `Report_OID` is the correct foreign key in the `[Subscriptions]` table that relates to `[ExecutionLog2].[ReportID]`.
- The `WHERE` clause filters the results to only include logs with the `rsProcessingAborted` status.
- The `ORDER BY el2.TimeStart DESC` orders the results by the start time of the execution log in descending order, so the most recent failures appear first.
### Notes:
- If `Report_OID` is not the correct column in the `[Subscriptions]` table, you might need to identify the proper foreign key column that links to `[ExecutionLog2].[ReportID]`.
- This query provides detailed information about each execution log entry that failed, along with subscription details such as `SubscriptionID`, `Description`, `LastStatus`, and `LastRunTime`.
Using this query, you can pinpoint the exact subscriptions that encountered issues and further investigate the cause of the `rsProcessingAborted` errors.

because there is a one to many relationship to Subscriptions, this returns data that joined all potential subscriptions to the one with the error.
Author: ChatGPT
Given the one-to-many relationship between the `[ExecutionLog2]` and `[Subscriptions]` tables, it is necessary to identify the specific execution instance of a subscription that encountered the `rsProcessingAborted` error. Typically, this involves using additional columns such as the `InstanceID` or `SubscriptionID` that uniquely identify the execution instance and tie it to a specific subscription.
Here is an updated query that attempts to identify the exact subscription that failed by incorporating more specific join criteria, such as matching on `InstanceID` or other unique identifiers:
```sql
SELECT
el2.InstanceName,
el2.ReportID,
el2.UserName,
el2.RequestType,
el2.Format,
el2.Parameters,
el2.ReportAction,
el2.TimeStart,
el2.TimeEnd,
el2.TimeDataRetrieval,
el2.TimeProcessing,
el2.TimeRendering,
el2.Source,
el2.Status,
el2.ByteCount,
el2.RowCount,
sub.SubscriptionID,
sub.Description,
sub.LastStatus,
sub.LastRunTime
FROM
[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2] el2
JOIN
[ReportServer].[dbo].[Subscriptions] sub
ON el2.ReportID = sub.Report_OID
AND el2.UserName = sub.OwnerID -- Assuming OwnerID is the username or relates to UserName in some form
WHERE
el2.Status = 'rsProcessingAborted'
AND el2.RequestType = 1 -- This ensures we are only looking at subscription requests
ORDER BY
el2.TimeStart DESC;
```
### Explanation:
- The `AND el2.UserName = sub.OwnerID` line is added to narrow down the specific subscription. Make sure `OwnerID` relates correctly to `UserName` or adjust based on the actual schema.
- The `el2.RequestType = 1` ensures that only subscription-related executions are considered. `RequestType` value of `1` typically denotes subscriptions (as opposed to on-demand reports).
- The additional filters should help in correctly identifying the exact subscription.
If `OwnerID` and `UserName` do not correctly correspond, or if there's another way to uniquely identify the subscription execution, adjust the join condition accordingly.
### Custom Join Condition
If there's a unique identifier available for the execution instance in both tables, use that for a more precise join. For example, if there's a column like `SubscriptionInstanceID` that exists in both tables, you can use it:
```sql
SELECT
el2.InstanceName,
el2.ReportID,
el2.UserName,
el2.RequestType,
el2.Format,
el2.Parameters,
el2.ReportAction,
el2.TimeStart,
el2.TimeEnd,
el2.TimeDataRetrieval,
el2.TimeProcessing,
el2.TimeRendering,
el2.Source,
el2.Status,
el2.ByteCount,
el2.RowCount,
sub.SubscriptionID,
sub.Description,
sub.LastStatus,
sub.LastRunTime
FROM
[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2] el2
JOIN
[ReportServer].[dbo].[Subscriptions] sub
ON el2.SubscriptionID = sub.SubscriptionID -- Use the unique execution instance identifier
WHERE
el2.Status = 'rsProcessingAborted'
ORDER BY
el2.TimeStart DESC;
```
Ensure that you verify the correct columns in your schema for precise joining.

i think the join criteria actually ahs to be related to teh parameters of the subscription and the executionlog2
Author: ChatGPT
To correctly join the `[ExecutionLog2]` and `[Subscriptions]` tables based on the parameters of the subscription and the execution log, you need to align the parameter sets between the two tables. Here's a refined query that includes parameter matching:
```sql
WITH SubscriptionParams AS (
SELECT
sub.SubscriptionID,
sub.Report_OID,
sub.Parameters,
sub.Description,
sub.LastStatus,
sub.LastRunTime
FROM
[ReportServer].[dbo].[Subscriptions] sub
),
ExecutionParams AS (
SELECT
el2.InstanceName,
el2.ReportID,
el2.UserName,
el2.RequestType,
el2.Format,
el2.Parameters,
el2.ReportAction,
el2.TimeStart,
el2.TimeEnd,
el2.TimeDataRetrieval,
el2.TimeProcessing,
el2.TimeRendering,
el2.Source,
el2.Status,
el2.ByteCount,
el2.RowCount
FROM
[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2] el2
WHERE
el2.Status = 'rsProcessingAborted'
)
SELECT
ep.InstanceName,
ep.ReportID,
ep.UserName,
ep.RequestType,
ep.Format,
ep.Parameters AS ExecutionParameters,
ep.ReportAction,
ep.TimeStart,
ep.TimeEnd,
ep.TimeDataRetrieval,
ep.TimeProcessing,
ep.TimeRendering,
ep.Source,
ep.Status,
ep.ByteCount,
ep.RowCount,
sp.SubscriptionID,
sp.Description,
sp.LastStatus,
sp.LastRunTime,
sp.Parameters AS SubscriptionParameters
FROM
ExecutionParams ep
JOIN
SubscriptionParams sp
ON ep.ReportID = sp.Report_OID
AND ep.Parameters = sp.Parameters
ORDER BY
ep.TimeStart DESC;
```
### Explanation:
- **CTEs (Common Table Expressions)**: Used to simplify the query structure by separating the selection of relevant columns from the `[Subscriptions]` and `[ExecutionLog2]` tables.
- **`SubscriptionParams` CTE**: Selects necessary columns from the `[Subscriptions]` table.
- **`ExecutionParams` CTE**: Selects necessary columns from the `[ExecutionLog2]` table where the status is `rsProcessingAborted`.
- **Join Condition**: Joins on `ReportID` and `Parameters`. This ensures that only execution logs with parameters matching the subscriptions' parameters are selected.
- **Ordering**: Orders the results by `TimeStart` in descending order to display the most recent failures first.
### Important Considerations:
- **Parameter Matching**: This query assumes that the parameters in both tables are stored in the same format and can be directly compared. If parameters are stored in a serialized format (e.g., XML or JSON), you might need to parse and compare them appropriately.
- **RequestType**: If necessary, add a condition for `RequestType` to ensure you're only dealing with subscriptions.
If parameters are stored in a different format, you might need to use specific functions to parse and compare them. For example, if parameters are stored as XML, you can use SQL Server's XML functions to extract and compare values.

how to contest an insurance rejection of paying a doctor service
Author: ChatGPT
Contesting an insurance rejection for a doctor's service can be a challenging process, but it???s often necessary to ensure you receive the coverage you???re entitled to. Here are the steps you can follow to contest the rejection:
1. **Review the Denial Letter**:
- Understand the specific reasons for the denial. The letter should detail why the claim was rejected.
2. **Gather Information**:
- Collect all relevant documents, including the original claim, medical records, doctor???s notes, and any correspondence with the insurance company.
3. **Understand Your Policy**:
- Review your insurance policy to understand the coverage details, terms, and conditions. This will help you determine if the denial was justified or if there was a misunderstanding.
4. **Contact the Insurance Company**:
- Call the customer service number provided on your insurance card or the denial letter. Ask for a detailed explanation of the denial and inquire about the process for filing an appeal.
5. **Get Support from Your Doctor**:
- Ask your doctor to provide a letter of medical necessity that explains why the service was essential for your health. Ensure this letter includes relevant medical codes and detailed explanations.
6. **File an Appeal**:
- Follow the insurance company???s appeal process. This usually involves submitting a formal appeal letter along with all supporting documents.
- In your appeal letter, be clear and concise. Include:
- Your policy number and claim number.
- A summary of the situation and why you believe the denial was incorrect.
- Attach supporting documents such as the doctor???s letter, medical records, and any other evidence.
7. **Submit Your Appeal**:
- Send your appeal via certified mail or another method that provides proof of delivery. Keep copies of everything you send.
8. **Follow Up**:
- After submitting your appeal, follow up with the insurance company to ensure they received your documents and to check on the status of your appeal.
9. **Escalate if Necessary**:
- If your appeal is denied, you may have additional levels of appeal within the insurance company. Follow these steps as outlined in their denial letter.
- You can also contact your state???s insurance regulatory agency or seek help from a patient advocate or attorney specializing in health insurance disputes.
10. **Consider External Review**:
- If internal appeals are exhausted, you may have the right to an external review by an independent third party. The insurance company should provide information on how to request this review.
