In an existing SSRS 2008 r2 report, I want to be able to display a PDF document when the user clicks on a link.
My problem is how do I point to a file that is on my workstation and how do I point to a file that is on a server (i do have the UNC path)?
I have tried the following expression options like the following:
1 ="file:\lt-28561\c$\Users\satya\Desktop\Test\03015581.pdf"
2 =”Open PDF File#C$\Users\satya\Desktop\Test\03015581.pdf”
3 ="\ServerIPAddress\Pres"& Fields!WO.Value & ".pdf" &"&rs:Command=GetResourceContents"
None of the above options work. Could you tell me how to access the location of the Help.pdf file so that the SSRS report will know where the PDF document is located

I can access a report (named form by the creator) on a SSRS report server, via the following link: http://10.50.79.111/ReportServer_MyOrg/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fMyApp+Reports%2fPayment+Form1&rs:Command=Render&ConID=R2&PayNo=3
If I want to deploy an updated report project to the server, is it possible to infer the deployment address (with the following components) from the URL to access a report?
TargetServerURL
TargetReportFolder
?
Is TargetServerURL the part of the form URL before "?" i.e. "http://10.50.79.111/ReportServer_MyOrg/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx"?
Is TargetReportFolder the part of the form URL after "?" and before the first "&"? i.e.
"%2fMyApp+Reports%2fPayment+Form1", i.e. "/MyApp+Reports/Payment+Form1"?
But that is a pathname specific to the form/report, correct? There are more than one forms/reports in the report project, so where can I deploy the report project?
When you deploy a report (from Visual Studio for example) there are two properties that are used.
The TargetServerURL = "Http://10.50.79.111/reportserver"
Target Report Folder = "MyApp Reports"
I'd like to know if there's a way to view and save the html code that's generated behind the scenes of a cognos report when it's being run. We are using Cognos 11 on premises.
Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by "behind the scenes". If you want to view the source code for the HTML for just the report (and not the entire Cognos session):
Run as...
HTML Run in background
Delivery (choose an option)
Send report by email and Attach the report
Save report as an external file
I am new to SSRS and having hard time rendering a report in PDF format.
I have a master report which within has a PDF icon. My requirement is to get a report that uses the parameters from SSRS master report and open the report in PDF format in new tab.
I tried applying the below logic from a post from Stack overflow
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=I%20am%20new%20to%20SSRS%20and%20having%20hard%20time%20rendering%20a%20report%20in%20PDF%20format.)
For example, to specify two parameters, “ReportMonth” and “ReportYear”, defined in a
report, use the following URL for a native mode report server:
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/AdventureWorks 2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008
but the same did not work.
**I need to pass the parameters from master report.
I am building my report using SSDT version 2017 and using HANA as DS.
Thanks in advance.
You will have to use the Action property with the Go to URL action of the icon. Use an expression to build the URL:
=String.Format(“http://myrshost/ReportServer/?/MyReportName&ReportMonth={0}&ReportYear={1}&rs:Format=PDF", Fields!ReportMonth.Value, Fields!ReportYear.Value)
This will replace the placeholders {0} and {1} in the string with values from your master (current) report and pass them as parameters to the MyReportName report which will be rendered as PDF.
We have 2 reporting server. One for test and one for production. Our business analyst will build the reports (rdl files) using Report Builder 3.0. After they complete the development and test on test reporting server (e.g. http://test/reportserver), we will modify the "ReportServerUrl" and Datasource, and then upload to production reporting server (e.g. http://prod/reportserver).
The problem is I cannot find in the Report Builder 3.0 UI how to configure this change. The only way I find is open the RDL file using Notepad, locate and then change the URL.
Since our analyst are not programmers I want to avoid use notepad. May I know where is the button to change ReportServerUrl?
Each time you add a Shared DataSource to a report or edit an existing DataSource (and therefore connect to a Report Server), the current report server is updated. This is shown in the bottom left of your Report Builder window ("Current report server...") and also gets written to the <rd:ReportServerUrl> tag in the .rdl file itself. This is just an indicator of the last Report Server which was connected to by the report.
Therefore, if you wish to change the <rd:ReportServerUrl>, you just need to amend the DataSource(s) in the report to be ones which reside on the Report Server whose URL you wish to have appear.
I have created a report with 3 parameters and uploaded it in Report manager in SSRS. I have a asp.net web page where I have a hyperlink that has the URL to open the report in the report server. Now when the report opens user can see the report path on the breadcrumb. My question is how to hide that?
My hyperlink is
<asp:HyperLink ID = "hlIntCharge" runat="server" Text="Interest Charges Report" CssClass="buttonClass" Width="165px"
NavigateUrl="javascript:GoTo('https://<Servername>/ReportsDev/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fCFM%2fCurrentGeneralLedger%2fInterestCharges')"></asp:HyperLink>
I have tried &rv:Toolbar=false after the link but didn't work.
I cannot change style as suggested in a link by going
:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
Services\ ReportManager
as I don't have permission.
Use the URL from the report server not the one from the reports manager.
Try accessing it by typing the domain name/ReportServer. See sameple below.
http://server-name.com/ReportServer
