Run report directly from report manager

  • Hi,

    How can I run report directly from report manager?

    Thanks.

  • If I go to the report manager and right-click on the report and click on Open, it only shows XML version of the report and there is no data there.

  • My guess is that there is something wrong with the way your report server is configured. I believe that available formats is part of the config file, perhaps yours is set only to XML. Unfortunately I don't know the specific configuration items you need to review.

  • I am new to reporting services. I uploaded the report in rdlc format. I see other reports on the report manager but I do not see the extension of the reports. These reports are working and they were developed by developers that are no longer working here. Any help I can get from all of you will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • Try rdl (without the C at the end).

  • Because this report manager must be v. 2005, changing the file to RDL worked. Now how do I add the datasource to it?

  • How did you develop the report?

    In visual studio you have a very handy "deploy" function that handles all those pesky little details for you. I'd have a serious look into that if I were you.

  • I added dataset to the VS project, but when I try to preview data, it give me the error "timeout expired"

  • How long to run the query straight from management studio?

  • about 10 minutes

  • Try using a dataset that runs instantly to make sure that part works.

    Next step is to speed up that query. I'm pretty sure you can change the timeout for the query exec, but I don't know where from the top of my head.

  • Have already added the dataset, but it is timing out.

  • I meant make A NEW dataset. Make sure it runs in only a few seconds and see if you have other problems besides the timeout.

    From there on out you need to tune the query or extend the timeout period for report execution.

    As far as I know it might be different between VS and the real report server's rendering. So you may want to test it out on the real server. Also AFAIK, the default timeout there is 30 minutes so it should run.
