Noob Question: How to get Reporting Services

I'm evaluating using SQL for running the back end of a medium sized business. We're looking at using reporting services to cull information from several dbs, some of which are owned by partner companies who may or may not be running SQL 2005.

What I'm trying to figure out is; can I just go online and download reporting services somewhere for pre 2005 sql installations? Does it cost anything? Browsing the MS download pages has given me no results thus far.

Thanks much

I found my own answer - I can get the functionality I need through the redistributable here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8A166CAC-758D-45C8-B637-DD7726E61367&displaylang=en#Overview

non-existent step?

My package runs fine in Business Studio. When I schedule it the error log message is 'jobmanager tried to run a non-existent step (2) for job ...'

There is only the one step defined in the package schedule. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Right-click on the agent job and select "Script Job as " and select create to new query window.

Look through the resulting code and search for the phrase, "sp_add_jobstep." How many are listed?|||I am having the same issue. When I look through the code as suggested I only see 4 steps, with step_id's 1 through 4. The step the manager is trying to run, however is listed as step 5.

What could be causing this?

Have you tried recreating the job? What job type is it? (SSIS, Command, etc...)

|||Found the source of the issue - the @.on_success_action parameter of the final step was set to 'go to the next step' and not 'quit with success'. It works now, thanks
