as the title says, I would like to export the report itself.
I have two version of an access database, everything in these two is the same except they made a copy to use in 2014 and one to use in 2015... and there is this one report that is not present in the 2015 access file.
So is it possible to take it out of the 2014 file ? The right-click export function seems to only be for the data generated for the report.
Open both databases and the navigation panes.
Right-click and copy the report in the source database.
Right-click the navigation pane in the target database and paste the report.

Source files for shared datasets are lost/missing. Any way to generate these from the SSRS report definition that is referencing them?
Thanks!
You can just download them from the server again.
Go to you SSRS home page (Report Manager, or Web Portal as its known in later versions of SSRS).
You might need to show hidden items, then open the datasets folder and you will see your shared datasets.
Click the one you need and there are options to either download the *.rsd file or open it directly in Report Builder, either way you will have *.rsd file which you can either add back into your Visual Studio project or open in a text editor and get the command text.
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've created a custom Reporting Services report from within Visual Studio that is intended to use automatic prefiltering as described here.
So, I've created my query as follows:
select fullname, createdbyname, createdon
from FilteredContact as CRMAF_FilteredContact
order by createdon desc
However, once I add a new Report in CRM based on the report's .rdl file (as described under "Deploying the Report" here) it adds the report fine, but two things happen:
1) The shared data source for this report is initally invalid, both CRM and SSRS refuse to render it with the error:
"The report server cannot process the report or shared dataset. The shared data source 'MyOrg_MSCRM' for the report server or SharePoint site is not valid. Browse to the server or site and select a shared data source. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)"
I have to manually set the DataSource from within SSRS to /MyOrg_MSCRM/CustomReports/MSCRM_DataSource to get it to work.
2) The report doesn't appear under "Run on Selected records" but under "Run on All Records", and doesn't perform any prefiltering.
Also, when I download the .rdl from SSRS it hasn't modified it, neither adding an extra parameter or changing the SQL query. as I would have expected based on this information.
What could I be doing wrong?
I'm using MS CRM 2016 update 1 (v8.1.0.359) on premise, with SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services and the SRS Data Connector installed on the same machine.
Apparently, you can use a shared data source reference, but you have to name it MSCRM_DataSource, just as the Data Source that MSCRM uses for its reports.
If you upload a Report in MSCRM like this, MSCRM recognizes this and automatically updates the data source to the valid /MyOrg_MSCRM/CustomReports/MSCRM_DataSource datasource, and also adds the prefiltering modifications.
You've created a Shared Data Source that you are using for multiple reports. When uploading reports through CRM this is not supported. Each report must have its own connection details embedded in the report.
I think the reason for this is, as you are trying to do, the report gets modified to add hidden CRM parameters and to alter the queries so that pre-filtering can take place.
To fix this, you have to modify each report and enter the Connection Details directly into the report rather than using a Shared Connection. Its a little annoying but should give you the results you are expecting to see
We have a fully working TFS 2013 and have access to the default reports of the process template that we are using. Now we created a new report and try to make it appear in the team explorer of VS2013. Searching the internet indicated that the only possible option would be to download the process template, change the reporting part (e.g. adding the new report as default report) and then upload the "default" reports then via command line tool (tfpt addprojectreports ...)
Since changing (including adding) areas, iterations and other stuff can be done in the "live" system (without editing the process TEMPLATE), it is hard for me to believe that there is no way to add reports without changing the process template.
Does anyone know how to upload a new report? Of course, in the end we would like to see the report in the team explorer...
try http://yourReportingServer/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
then navigate via collection, project to the folder you want the report to show up in, then "upload file".
You can directly upload the .rdl file to SSRS of your TFS instance.
I am working on a report project in SSRS 2008. There will be 14 reports (separate rdl files) in this project and I want to use the exact same header design for all of them. I have created the header in the first report, is there a way either save the header (it has a couple images, background color and a couple textboxes, one with an expression) as a single object which can them be copied to each report, or maybe create each new report based off this one report, then I can just change the dataset? Thanks.
In Report Builder 3.0:
The most straightforward way to do this is the old "Save As" trick. (Save a copy of your original report under a new name and use the copy to make a new report)
You could also locate the header block in your .rdl xml section and copy and paste that into your finished reports, but that is more likely to generate difficult to trace errors.
