How to redeploy reports?

Hello everyone,

I have created a selection of reports in VS and deployed them to my test machine. I would now like to deploy the project to the live machine, I cant install visual studio on this machine and the test machine cannot connect to live.

What is the best way to move my reports into the live environment?

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards
Taz

you need to change the reportserver path and deploy from your dev environment. (right click on ur report project - properties in VS)

probably you would have given http://localhost/reportserver

u need to change it to http://livemachine/reportserver.

and you can use the same method to deploy the reports. you can deploy to any reportserver after changing the name in that place.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. is it possible todo this without my dev environment? The reports are part of a software package which I would like to deply through some installer if possible.

Is this possible?

Kind regards

I know there have been a couple of replies to your question. I would like to reccommend RSScripter. It works very well for deploying our sites. You can find it at http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=62.

Hi Ron,

i think the tool you linked to is much more like what I was after. I appreciate the link.

Kind regards

My pleasure. You might want to look at the scripts it generates and clean them up. They have quite a bit of overhead. I hand-crafted ours (one login to SSRS, etc.) and they run much, much faster.
