Some reports in my company have a My Suscriptions tab to it, and a New Subscription button too:
I'm working off a different SQL Server 2008 R2 with Reporting Services. I have Visual Studio 2008 on my PC. The reports I wrote don't have any of that, or any other "user-friendly" way to subscribe to reports.
According to this Sep 2010 post that's the way it is.
Is there any more current information on that? Or any other way out?
Thanks!
Added: But according to this MSDN article on 2008 R2 it seems to imply that there should be a Subscriptions tab...
This is what I have of SQL server on my PC:
The MSDN article refers to opening a report and clicking on a Subscriptions tab for SQL Server 2008 R2 - this is incorrect.
In 2008 R2, to subscribe to a report you first locate the report in Report Manager, then hover the cursor over the report link. This highlights a drop-down arrow, click on this and select "Subscribe" from the menu.
Alternatively, if you have permissions to "Manage" reports, then you can click on Manage and then there is a "Subscriptions" tab listed on the left.
"My subscriptions" should be accessible from a link at the top-right of the Report Manager screen.

I have the following scenario in my company:
We have two BI tools
One is a highly interactive reporting platform that reports from and generates
the company data warehouse
The other is SSRS which we use for our static form type reports. We
also use it for real time reporting as this sources directly from the
transactional databases
It is a hassle to have users jumping between two reporting platforms to find specific reports they are looking for.
What I would like to do is use SSRS as the home for all reports by creating dummy reports in SSRS whose only purpose is to redirect the user the report in other reporting platform
I imagine this should be possible using custom code functionality in SSRS.
What code (VB.net / C#) can I use to invoke a URL when a user clicks on the report.
Add a textbox to your report with whatever text you want the user to see (e.g. My Other Report).
Right-click the textbox and choose properties, then click the Action tab
Select "Go to URL" and then set the URL as required.

I am facing serious problems with SSRS 2008 - the complex sophisticated reports are behaving odd and things are just not working as Microsoft documented - too complicated to describe them here. The development tool is VS 2008 BI Studio while the target server is 2012. Are there any significant improvements in VS 2012 BI Studio that would make it worthwhile to switch?
Edit:
As the volunteer censors pitched in, I think I can accommodate their concerns and limit the scope of this question.
I am having problems with tablix splitting just below the header row of an arbitrary section in the middle of the page and all its detail rows moving to the next page, if the total height of the rows happens to be an unknown unfortunate number. That can be avoided by microscopic changes to the header row height, which is annoying.
Another issue is that no matter what, the header rows refuse to repeat on each page. The tablix is set to repeat the rows, the statics in Advanced Mode are too set to repeat, but it's not repeating headers, but repeating a group which in turn is set to not repeat. I.e. it's doing the opposite of what the report is coded to.
Am I going to see any improvement in 2012 SSRS/2010 BI Studio compared to 2008 for the items above?
The question arose due to uncertainty of what bug fixes exactly were included into 2012 SSRS according to What's New (Reporting Services). None of the issues were addressed: report still arbitrarily splitting mid-page, there are still border alignment issues, headers are not repeating where required.

I have a .sql job that I want to run once every day between 2PM to 5PM. How can I schedule this?
1.Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in SQL Server Agent and select 'New Job'
2.In the 'New Job' window enter the name of the job and a description on the 'General' tab.
3.Select 'Steps' on the left hand side of the window and click 'New' at the bottom.
4.In the 'Steps' window enter a step name and select the database you want the query to run against.
5.Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window and click 'OK'.
6.Click on the 'Schedule' menu on the left of the New Job window and enter the schedule information (e.g. daily and a time).
7.Click 'OK' - and that should be it.
Use the SQL server agent.
This is a service that comes with SQL server, and can be configured via enterprise management studio to execute SQL jobs at preconfigured times

I have several custom reports and I would like to be able to trigger them from a CRM Dialog.
Is it possible? And if so, any examples would be great!
To actually execute the report (rather than display it) requires much more work. We have used a "trigger entity" model in the past.
In summary, your workflow or dialog you create an instance of the Report Trigger entity which has attributes holding the report to run (relative URL in SSRS) and the entity that should be passed as a parameter to the dataset. On create of such a trigger record, we have registered a plugin which invokes the SSRS web service, executes and then renders the report to PDF. Since there is no way merely display this report to the user you then have to decide whether the rendered report will be emailed to the calling user or, in our case, committed to a contextual SharePoint document library for the record that was processed in the original workflow.
Our requirements were very specific ;) Also, this won't work in CRM Online since there is no exposure of the SSRS Web Service.
In your case, given the interactive nature of a Process Dialog I think that James' approach is likely a better fit. I've added this as an intro to potentially another option. Happy to post more if it will fit your use case.
The easiest way to do this is to open the report with a url as shown here.
Then you just present the url in the dialog.

Is there a licensing requirement for the SSRS client in a desktop application? The application will be pulling the reporting information from either SQL CE or flat files.
I assume that since the report viewer is built into .NET that, like every other .NET control, there would not be an additional licensing cost.
No. The ReportViewer control is a component of Visual Studio and is freely distributable with your applications.
Report Server, however, is subject to the normal SQL Server licensing.
The specific difference is running the report in local or remote processing mode.

Great answer pulled from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067.aspx which indicates that client processing of RDLC files is free from licensing.
The ReportViewer control supports a local processing mode that allows you to run client report definition (.rdlc) files using the built-in processing capability of the control. The client reports that you run in local processing mode can be easily created in your application project. There are four [sic] approaches to creating the report:
-Create a new client report definition (.rdlc) file using the Report Wizard.
-Create a new client report definition (.rdlc) file in Visual Studio.
-Generate a report definition programmatically.
