Does SSRS need to be installed locally? - reporting-services

In the past I've just always accessed SSRS through a browser. Does it need to be installed on the local machine accessing the SSRS browser page, or do you just need to have the link to the SSRS web location in order to run reports and access report builder there?
Thanks,
Martin

Unable to generate barcode fonts in SSRS via web application & report builder

Okay, some details, because I know this question has been asked several times, but none of the fixes have resolved my issue.
We have a web application that leverages SSRS as its reporting platform. This application uses a Windows AD user as IIS passthrough to connect the application server to the database server (where SSRS is also installed).
We have an installable barcode font our SSRS reports are using, and it is showing up correctly on the application server, but nowhere else.
The font has been installed and unblocked on the database and application servers for the IIS passthrough user, as well as for the individual users on their workstations, but the font still doesn't show up on workstations in SSRS's report viewer or when exported to PDF. They show up when exported to Word, but with Word being what it is, that results in none of the labels printing correctly.
Also, the passthrough user has been granted full control of the font on each server. We've restarted the reporting server service as well. This is an issue that doesn't present itself when we install the application & SSRS configurations on a single server, but using our production dual-server configuration this is the issue we face.

SSRS 2012 : report builder and connection string to shared dataset

We are using SQL Server 2012:
one team develops datawarehouse
one team is in charge of reports using Report Builder
We use shared datasets.
When .rdl files are saved on local machine, we can see that <ReportServerURL> is fully embedded in file, in Shared DataSet section. How can we easily deploy the .rdl on another report server (production environment) without having to edit (by hand/script) all .rdl files?
As far as I know <ReportServerURL> is just a hint for Report Builder. It is not used by server, so reports can be safely deployed to another report server

Call SSRS Report in Windows Aplication

I have a windows application in asp.net c#,and i want to call a SSRS report on a button click event.How to call a SSRS report on Windows application.I have done the same in web application, what change i want to make in programmatic level.
How did you do it on the windows application? There are 3 ways you can interact with SSRS from an application, report Server Web Service (SOAP), URL access and the reportViewer Controls for Visual Studio 2005.
Easiest way I would say are the controls. In this case, you can configure them in local mode or remote mode. In local mode you dont depend on the SSRS server and need to deploy the report file with your application (the file needs to be .rdlc, not .rdl). In remote mode you access SSRS directly and render the reports from it. There are other differences, like on local processing, reports can only be displayed using PDF, excel and image for example

How can I ensure that these reports are appearing or can be seen on SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) URL?

I am new to SSRS. I have developed some reports using BIDS using SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) when I run them from my machine reports are running ok. But there are not appearing from SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS). Even when I open SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) in a web broswer
I can not see the reports on SSRS. How can I ensure that these reports are appearing or can be seen on SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) URL?
Please help.
Have you deployed them?
Right-Click on the report and go to Deploy
or
In the Build menu select "Deploy projectname"
You may have to set the project properties first for TargetServerURL to something like
http://SSRSserver/reportserver
They can be found in the Project menu under "projectname Properties"
There are two options to deploy your reports on server -
1] You can directly deploy it from your VS by right clicking on your report & selecting deploy option, here you need to mention target server -
http://[server name]/ReportServer
2] If you are able to access report server then web browser provide one option to upload your reports. So you can upload your report directly on report server (.rdl file). Here you need to set proper connnection string & permission rights to access the report.
Hope this will help you..!!

When you publish. RDL file in the folder, you need to set the path to the address where the report server
