Export to rdl from Reporting Services 2008

  • I am looking for a way to export a report to a rdl that is already in a Reporting Services 2008 database.

    In Reporting Services 2005 I used to connect to the RS install from Management Studio and three directories would display: Home, Security, and Shared Schedules. I would then navigate to a report through the Home directory and right click and select edit. This would allow me to export a report to a .rdl file.

    In Reporting Services 2008 the Home directory does not display in Management Studio. I only see the following directories: Jobs, Security, and Shared Schedules.

    Why is the Home directory not displaying?

    Is there another way to export a report to an .rdl file?

    Thanks

    Go to Report on Report Manager, Click properties of report, under the report definition you will see Edit and Update link...if you click on Edit you can open or Save the RDL files.

  • Additionally, you can use the following....

    SELECT [Name],

    CAST(CAST([Content] AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) AS reportXML

    FROM ReportServer.dbo.[Catalog] WITH (NOLOCK)

    WHERE [Type] = 2
