Help with deploying a report made in Report Services

  • According to the Apress book “Pro SQL Server 2005”, in the chapter that covers reporting services, it says that to deploy a report I have to specify http://servername/reportserver/ in the project’s TargetServerURL.  I’ve gotten onto the server, and then gotten into IIS, and found that there is a website there called ReportServer, and another one called Reports.  My concern is that if I specify that URL (with the appropriate server name, of course), that I will wipe out what’s there.

    Are my concerns valid, or irrelevant?

  • http://servername/reports is the consumtion website, (Where people run reports)

    http://Servername/reportserver is the engine this url goes in the projects setting that tells visual studio where to push the reports

    you can also manually publish the reports thru the http://servername/reports url by uploading the rdl, and setting up the datasources manually.

  • Ray,

    So, what you're saying is taht all Reporting Services reports get published to http://servername/reportserver, so that they can be run from http://servername/reports, correct?

    And if I may ask another question, how do you set up the datasources in the http://servername/reports website?
