Is it possible to have SSRS's Report Manager display a report name that is not the .RDL file name?
I.E. I have a Report .RDL named "MyReportAboutSomeImportantStuff.RDL" but I want the Report Manager to display this user friendly as "My Report About Some Important Stuff."
Yes, it's possible. After deploying to the reportserver, you can browse to the report through Report Manager and use the "Properties" tab to manually change the displayed name of the report - e.g. inserting the spaces.
If you get sick of doing this by hand (and you will), it's also possible to script this and several other post-deployment operations using rs.exe. See TechNET: Scripting Deployment and Administrative Tasks

I hope this one is simple.
I have a paginated report set up on the SSRS online service. There is a subscription feature that allows for the report to be sent to a destination automatically.
I have all of the settings set up, the schedule, Destination, and Delivery Options with a filepath.
The report can be run manually, and a file will appear at the desired file-path location. For some reason, despite setting a report specific schedule, the feature will not run automatically.
What requirement am I missing here?
I'd like to delete one of my deployed SSRS reports, then recreate it, but I can't. When I click the report's "Manage" ellipsis on the Report Server I get this:
It's weird because the report works fine, both in the Visual Studio preview and after deployment onto the Report Server; I just can't "Manage" the report on the Report Server. How can I delete this report from my Report Server? I have tried deleting the entire folder containing the problematic report, then redeploying all of the reports, datsets, etc. but I still wind up with the same problem with this one report.
How can i combine couple of rdl reports and display that to SSRS native web portal. I already created that report and deployed to the server (SSRS Native portal) using Sql Server data tool 2015. But my client wants to view all reports in the same window. Although all reports has the same parameter.enter image description here

The SSRS native web portal doesn't contain a mechanism to link multiple reports and run them on the save page via shared parameters (or anything even like that).
You have two options:
Create the merged report yourself. You should be able to import (or copy/paste) the datasets from each report into a new report, link them all one one set of parameter(s), and copy paste the content of each report (then fix all broken references).
The option above is the naive way to merge three reports into one. Instead, you could create a new master report, add the shared parameter and then add each additional report as a subreport to the parent report. Tutorial here.
Create an ASP.NET application that wraps the multiple reports into a single page. This will be quite a bit of work if you have never done this, but you would be able to create a custom parameter(s), pass the parameter(s) into the each report through code and render the multiple reports on a single page.
I would recommend option number 2.
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.
