I have installed SSRS 2012 on my server. With the web interface at
https://myServer/Reports I can access and manage it. I added a folder "TestTemplates" with
a report template "IssuerSectors". When clicking on the template, a valid report is generated.
When I try to access the same report via Url access (as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms153586.aspx),
my page is always redirected to https://myServer/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
I have tried many combinations, as e.g.
http://myServer/Reports?%2fTestTemplates%2fIssuerSectors&rs:Command=Render
https://myServer/Reports?%2fTestTemplates%2fIssuerSectors&rs:Command=Render
http://myServer/Reports?/TestTemplates/IssuerSectors&rs:Command=Render
and so on. Nothing seems to work.
If you want to access your report like that, you need to go to a different URL:
http://myServer/ReportServer
and then append the report folder, name, parameters, etc.
For URL access it is ReportServer, not Reports (please also note that these names can be configured in the SSRS configuration tool, so they could be different from the default names I've assumed here).
If you enter that URL in your browser, you can browse the directory structure of the report server. Navigate to your report and you'll see the URL you need to use in your browser's URL bar.

I have an SSRS2016 Report that I'm able to connect to in the browser:
http://vmbksa69901mcz/reports_ssrs1d/report/DAS/CDO_Suite/AccruedInterestRpt
But I want to be able to export to pdf by the url. This article states that this is possible:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/export-a-report-using-url-access
So, when I try to put in this url:
http://vmbksa69901mcz/reports_ssrs1d?/DAS/CDO_Suite/AccruedInterestRpt&rs:Format=PDF
It does not work.. It just brings me to the home page of the SSRS Site, and changes the url to:
http://vmbksa69901mcz/reports_ssrs1d/browse/
I don't see what I'm doing wrong here.
When you use a URL to pass commands you need to use the Web Service URL reportserver path in the URL not the web portals URL.
If you run the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and look under "Web Service URL" you see a different address.
By default the web portal (SSRS home page as you called it) will be at http://myServer/Reports
But the Web Service URL by default is
http://myServer/Reportserver
Adding on to #Alan's answer, my report was for exporting to excel :
A report with url :
http://myservername/Reports/report/myserverSSRSUpgrade/PCM%20Allocation%20Report?DateFrom=04%2F01%2F2018&DateTo=04%2F30%2F2018&ParentID=46416&rs:Format=EXCELOPENXML
gets converted to
http://myservername/ReportServer?%2fmyserverSSRSUpgrade%2fPCM+Allocation+Report&DateFrom=04%2F01%2F2018&DateTo=04%2F30%2F2018&ParentID=46416&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=EXCELOPENXML
Have a close look at the placement of ? character in both the query strings.
I am new to this Microsoft SSRS Reports Server. I am trying to create reports with images and links to external reports/websites. I just saw this option to upload any file to the reports server.
But I do not know how to use these uploaded files in the Report builder/designer. I am able to select the uploaded images.
Is there an option to use the files uploaded in the Reports Server in the Report Builder ? If so, please tell me how and if not then what is the purpose of having these files uploaded in the server ?
Thanks,

Is there an option to use the files uploaded in the Reports Server in
the Report Builder ?
You are lucky to ask such a question before having designed a lot of reports.
Let me take a simple common example:
Imagine you have a Company logo you want to include in the header of the reports.
You design 100 reports with this logo embedded in the report.
Your company then decides to change their logo, you will have to update all the reports to include the new logo...
That's when adding images resources to the server becomes interesting.
If so, please tell me how and if not then what is the purpose of
having these files uploaded in the server ?
Here is how to handle this simple Logo example:
Add an image resource to the report server, say CompanyLogo.png, in the report folder Logos.
The image is now accessible when you go to the following URL:
http://<YourReportServer>/ReportServer[_<InstanceName>]?%2fLogos%2fCompanyLogo.png
Now in your report, go in Image Properties => General
Set the image source DropDown to External
In Use this image, add the link to the image
Now the report will display the image from the report server.
If you update the image, the report will use the new image.
You can improve this by:
Using Globals!ReportServerUrl instead of a hardcoded value (in case the report server URL changes)
Using the expression =IIf(Globals!ReportServerUrl = nothing, <ReportServerURL>, <Globals!ReportServerUrl>) + <ImagePath>, when you notice it doesn't work in BIDS and want the image to display in preview mode also
Having an Execution account configured in the Configuration Manager to prevent adding rights to the Logos folder to everybody who needs to display the logo
Having the image path coming from the database instead of a hardcoded value (if you want the same report that can render with different logos, or just an easier way to specify a different image)
EDIT
But the Reports Server allows us to upload other file format too. May
I know what is the purpose of this option ?
An example that comes to my mind is that in a report you can add links to other resources, such as a PDF for example.
In this case, the PDF will not be rendered by Reporting Services but the browser.
So the question could be, why restricting the MIME types that can be uploaded on the Report Server, if the browser could possibly render it?
Additional info from MSDN:
All other files, including shared data source (.rds) files, are
uploaded as resources. Resources are not processed by a report server,
but can be viewed in Report Manager if the report server supports the
MIME type of the file.
Source: Upload a File or Report (Report Manager)
All resources originate as files on a file system, which are
subsequently uploaded to a report server. Except for the 4 megabyte
default file size limitations imposed by ASP.NET, there are no
restrictions on the kinds of files you can upload. However, when
published to a report server as a resource, file types that have
equivalent MIME types are more optimal than others. For example,
resources that are based on HTML and JPG files will open in a browser
window when the user clicks the resource, rendering the HTML as a Web
page and the JPG as an image that the user can see. In contrast,
resources that do not have equivalent MIME types, such as desktop
application files, for example, may not be rendered in the browser
window.
Whether a resource can be viewed by report users depends on the
viewing capabilities of the browser. Because resources are not
processed by the report server, the browser must provide the viewing
capability to render a specific MIME type. If the browser cannot
render the content, users who view the resource see only the general
properties of the resource.

I have a report with parameters accessible by two URLs.
One URL is using the internal servername and one is an address defined in the Microsoft ISA Server.
When I am connected to the local network both URLs are working correctly. When I want to access the report by the ISA URL from an external network just the parameters will be rendered and the report content is empty. In the SSRS Execution Logs I can't find a record that I executed the report when I access the report by the ISA address.
The funny thing is, that I fill a parameter list based on the users login name. This list is filled correctly.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Andi
This patch solved the problem

SSRS - Reports Manager displaying Http500 cannot be displayed
localhost/Reports shoes http 500, page cannot be displayed
localhost/ReportManager shows the old school look of directory listing via text, like an old ftp site you view through your browser. I can browse to my report, run, and view it. It just looks like the nice frame work around the report manager is not displaying.
Any ideas? Is there any easy way to revert all my settings and configs? I was goofing around trying to set the maxhttpRequest="more than 4mbs" in the web.config file. I probably mucked it all up. I set it back, but still no solution.
It sounds like what you are seeing on URL http://localhost/ReportManager is actually the Report Server directories, not the Report Manager web application. The report server URL is normally set up on http://localhost/reportserver so it sounds like your report server has been configured in an unusual way. The best thing to do if you are able is to run the Reporting Services Configuration Manager tool for the report server you are connecting to and check the values configured for:
Web Service URL ( this is the normally set up as /reportserver but it sounds like you are seeing it on /reportmanager)
Report Manager URL (this is the URL you are looking for to view the reports in the Report Manager application)
Adding the SSRS host to the trusted site list in my browser fixed this.
Can any body help on the following issues.
SSRS reports (.rdl) files have been implemeted in the Sharepoint integrated mode.
Report have be deployed to share point library (reports Library)
Created the aspx and added the report viewer webpart to the page
And in the report path of report viewer webpart , it was refered to the path of .rdl file in the report folder with fully qualified url as follows
Internal site URL - http://intcollaborate/sites//reports/
we have some Hyperlinks on the report , these hyper links are pointing to the another aspx page which again shows some other report configured in the same way as above.
apart from the Internal site, there is another site EKWS site which will point to the same code to which Internal site is pointing.
Here is the actual problem. --- Out side Users will access our EKWS Site/FBA Site. When user clicks onthe Hyperlinks on the report, it is pointing to the internal site URL aspx page (because the report viwer is placed in the iframe by Sharepoint, this is the behaviour of sharepoint). This should point to the EKWS/FBA site URL/aspx page, Then the User is prompting for credentials. AS the authentication process is different for both internal site and external site.
Please let us Know how to solve this problem...
We tried to resolve this problem in the following way. But it is duplicating the Query string inthe URL.
we wrote the expression on the hyperlink field in the SSRS report, where it will check for the user and decide if he is internal user or external user
and based on that , URL is generating dynamically(Inernal URL /EKWS(FBA) URL ) with help of expresssion. But the Query string is duplicating inthe URL.
Here is the expression code
Iif(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "RPL", Iif(UserId Like "user:*", Parameters!InernalURL,Parameters!FBAURL) + Parameters!SiteRelativeURL.Value + "/page1.aspx?ID=" + Fields!fieldName1.Value + "&Name=" + Fields!Fieldname2.Value , Nothing)
Please help in suppressing the duplicating query strings. Or else please suggest the right appraoch
this seems to be a known issue that they are working on...

I have heard that the issue does not happen on links across servers.
You can use a relative address to get to something within the same site.
But relative addresses don't seem to work across sites within the same server :-( maybe there is an IIS config that would allow that though. (I know there is an allow relative addressing setting in IIS but I don't know that this is the only factor)
