I have downloaded one of the system generated reports from CRM 2011, it saved as a .RDL file which I then opened and modified.
My question is, how do I then upload the modified report back to CRM. I have tried using the report wizard and searching for the existing file however it just kicks back an error message:
Query Build Error:
The specified record type does not exist in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
It has not been developed on the SSRS or using BIDS, and I haven't created it using FETCH, all I have done is save the report to my desktop, modify some of the record names and then try to upload it again.
It is starting to annoy me now because having searched through the length of google and nearly every post I have seen has stated this is the exact way to upload custom reports.
Is there any reason why it is not working for me?
Go to Workplace.
Click on Reports Entity.
Click on New Report.
Select Report Type as Existing File.
Click on Browse and select the .rdl Report file.
It won't let you upload the file that way. You need to either edit an existing report or create a new report.
NEW
Reports
Click New
Report Type:Existing File
Choose File
Finish filling out required fields
EXISTING

Select a report & Click the Edit button

I've an existing report which is generated when user passes parameters from the UI. Now, I want the reporting server to save the generated report into the share folder automatically rather than making user to store it.
So, whenever user generates a report the reporting server should automatically store the report into a share path.
I know we can have SSRS subscription which can schedule reports and save it in a share path, but is it possible to generate a report dynamically(when user wants to)?
I searched over internet and read few articles but they aren't helping.
Any idea/solution will be appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
I need to make updates to several SSRS reports. The problem is, these were originally developed on another developer's local computer. He quit suddenly and the SSRS project was copied to a shared drive by a manager. The original computer with the original SSRS project is no longer available.
I can launch the project, but when I try to open any of the rdls for editing I get an error message: "Could not find part of the path 'C:\Users\jsmith\Downloads\upload\3 Site Kits On Time.rdl'." Clearly, it's looking for files on the other programmer's C drive, which no longer exists.
Is there a way to get the rdls to open in the new location? The new path would be \\DataMgt\SSRSPackages\CTReports.
This is SSRS 2008. There is no version control (don't ask).
(Just to make this a formal answer as it seems to have worked fort the question setter...)
You are correct in identifying that the project file is looking for a specific file in a specific location.
To get around this you can create a new SSRS project in Visual studio, and then add all the rdls to those new project by inserting them to the new project by right-clicking the project, selecting 'Add' then 'Existing item...' and choosing the report files.
I have a website running on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. I have set up a workflow to run whenever an order is completed. It generates an email and an attachment (an SSRS pdf report) with some order data on it. I can confirm that the email is generated by looking at the Contact's Closed Activities. The attachment is there too. However, the dynamic data that is obtained from the database is not there. I am using ReportExecution2005 and ReportService2005 to generate the PDF and send it.
The PDF report shows all the data when tested against:
Visual Studio, in the Preview for the .rdl
the report server on CRM
The Param that is passed into the SSRS report is the OrderId. It is passed in correctly, as it works during testing in visual studio and the report server.
I've also debugged the code, and the DataSource and the Parameter seem to be accepted. They were each throwing errors when the naming wasn't right.
Can anyone offer some advice, or maybe suggest what is most likely the problem and where to look? Thanks!
We are using SSRS and when we "Upload" an .rdl file using the web report manager we would like to automatically take a copy of that .rdl file and put it on a network drive.
I'm not familiar with SSRS at all and I don't even know where to begin to look. I'm assuming that there is an .API.
Is there a way to capture via the web report manager after the file has been uploaded to the DB that I can then make a copy of that rdl file to the network path of my choosing?
Update:
It appears that Microsoft doesn't allow customization of the Report Manager.

So maybe the answer is that I can't do what I want to do.
You can't do what you are asking using Report Manager. However you can use the rs.exe utility provided with Reporting Services to create a script that will download the rdl file(s) from the report server to disk.
Example here: http://blog.geektrainer.com/2012/04/download-all-reports.html
Looks like you are trying to keep the back up of the SSRS reports. Here is the link which downloads the file to your local drive. You can modify the same for copying to the network location if you want.
I am trying to use report manager to deploy report. I am newbie on SSRS.
When i opened report manager URL i see something like this.
So I could not find any way to upload rdl/create dataset etc. When I googled I got following image.
Here there are options to deploy report..what could be the reason I am not bale to see this?
First, if you are executing the report locally, you should Run the IE as Administrator and if the folders still are no shown you should configure the Site Settings and add the curent user.
