    Hello Folks,

    I have a 2008R2 Report Server and I have almost 40 reports, 10 DataSources and aorund 60 Datasets.

    I got a new Server with 2012 and SQL Server 2012. I need to move/migrate all the reports to new server (2012).

    I moved the ReportServer DB from OLD to NEW Server. Now i need to move the reports. If it is one or two Reports, i can download the RDL file and upload to the new server and add DataSource and DataSet. No issue. But i cant do this for 40 reports manually.

    Is there any way i can migrate all the reports, DataSources and Datasets from OLD server to New Server.

    Thanks,

    SK

    Use the reporting scripter tool. I have used it, works well.

    One option (assuming that the SQL 2012 instance doesn't have any report yet), is to backup the SQL2008R2 ReportServer/ReportServerTEMPDB databases and the encryption key and restore them to the SQL2012 instance over the top of the SQL2012 equivalent database/encryption key. When the SQL2012 instance starts up, it checks the version of the database and upgrade things in it. You should end up with all reports, datasources, security etc exactly as it was in the SQL2008R2 instance with all encrypted content (database logins and the like) ready to go. No need to migrate each report, datasource etc.

    Don't think we need to restore ReportserverTempDB

    I have used this in the past and it worked really well (easy too).
