How to deploy reports using only report manager?

Hello!
I'm having problems deploying reports...
I have a development environment where I use Visual Studio to deploy reports
- All reports deployed have been manually assigned to shared data sources
instead of the one attached to the project. This works great.
However, when I need to deploy data sources and reports to a new instance of
reporting services in a production environment - I only want to use report
manager for this. I know I can't upload data sources, so I have manually
created those I have. The problem is that the reports I upload have a data
source attached in the XML that has a different ID than the one I just
created - So report manager complaint about the data sources being missing.
Now I want to access the reports and manually point them to the new shared
data sources, but the Browse button for data sources doesn't work - Nothing
happens when pushed.
So how am I supposed to assign the reports to the new data sources? - I have
manually tried to change the XML without luck, but I don't want to do this
every time I have to update a report.
HELP!

Instead of using the report manager, you might consider a small .RSS
script.
In the ReportingServices/Samples/Scripts directory is a file called
PublishSampleReports.rss that programatically creates a datasource and
uploads rdl files using the source. Copying this file and building on
it gives you a base to build on.
This approach will also give you something you can test out in
development and then take to production with confidence it will work.
I always try to script as much as I can because I forget steps as soon
as I step in front of a prod machine and try to do stuff by hand.

It's pretty easy to script the deployment, but the report is still pointing
to a data source that doesn't exist and for some reason the browse button to
point to another data source doesn't work - So it didn't really solve my
problem :o(

SetReportDataSources method to update the data source of the report once
uploaded - This works great...
Required a bit of work, but it's totally easy to deploy the reports now -
Just execute a batch file :o)

How to Deploy Report on Remote Server..

Hi,

I m getting following error while deploying report on remote server...

Error 3 The permissions granted to user 'ZENITH\BalwantPatel' are insufficient for performing this operation. 0 0

The following setting i have on my remote server.

Configure Report Server:

Report Server Virtual Directory: Default

Report Manager Virtual Directory: Default

Windows Service Identity:
Service Name: Report Server
Service Account: Domain\Administrator

Windows Account: Domain\Administrator.

Web Service Identity : ASP.NET Service Account: ServerName\ASPNET

I m creating Report on my local machine as Domain\Balwant Patel. and Trying to deploy on other server on the same domain....

I dont know What settings do need to change on webserver or on my local machine.

Thank you,

Ballu.

hello,

I see u have not configured ur report server. Go to "start" -- "sql server 2005" -- "configuration tools" -- "reporting services configuration". Go thru it step by step and configure it. Once you have done it, you should have "content manager" permission to deploy on the remote server. Needlesss to say, I am assuming you have given the correct target URL for deploment. For "content manager" persmission settings, read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337491.aspx.

I hope it helps...

Hi AsianIndian,

Thank you very much for your response....The Link That u give me is very useful...Now I get The Idea How to setup permission on SQL Server Reporting Service...I configured Report Server fine...but I don't know how to setup permission through SQL Server Management Studio...I have one problem when I m trying to connection to my Report Server Through SQL Server Management Studio... Initially when i m trying to connection Report Server on my local machine...i m getting the error that there is not enough permission on C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files this folder to machine\ASP.NET...So I give full permission to ASP.NET user....so I thought the same problem may occure on my deplyoment server...but I get different error...the error was internal server and the error and even the error was not shown correctly...but I found somewhere on the forums that I have to remove <configuration xmlns> attribute from the configuration node from Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer\web.config.

Regards,

Balwant Patel.
