Report Builder .RDL Move to Report Server (2005)

  • How can I take an .RDL from Report Builder and move it to SSRS 2005? The 2005 SSRS is the production server which runs the report I need to modify, I had made the changes using Report Builder but the format (elements) are different If I try to upload the .rdl it will fail. Althought the .rdl is just text, it too much to type.

  • What version of Report Builder are you using? It sounds like you're using a newer version of Report Builder which is saving the .rdl in a different format than what SSRS 2005 is looking for.

    Just a thought.

  • Yes I'm taking an 2008 .rdl and moving it to a 2005 platform.

  • I don't know of any way to "downgrade" a SSRS report from 2008 to 2005 -- the file formats are different as I understand it. I think you'd have to recreate the report from scratch using either VS 2005 or the Report Builder version with 2005 (was 2.0?)
