SQL 2012 :: Searching For Table Names In SSRS Reports In SharePoint
Jul 23, 2015
I am trying to query the SharePoint database to get a list of how many times a table name is being used in our SSRS reports.Here is my current query:
DECLARE @TEXTTOSEARCH AS VARCHAR(200)
SET @TEXTTOSEARCH = 'tablenamehere'
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES
(DEFAULT 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition',
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner' AS rd)
[code]...
This works for some tables since the names are unique and I can just do a search for that. However, some of the table names are simple and can also be used as aliases.if there was some way to get the list of table names easier.

Hi all - please help!
I'm running SSRS 2005 (9.00.3027.00) in Sharepoint integrated mode on a Win2003 SP1 box. This works fine for most reports, including matrix reports sourcing data from SSAS 2005.
However, I have a couple of large matrix reports (7 columns per group, 12 column groups, 150 rows, 1 row per group, data from SSAS) that run fine when I run them in VS2005, but as soon as I try and run them from within Sharepoint/Report Server I get "An unexpected error has occurred.". Sometimes this happens after 60 seconds, sometimes more (up to 3 minutes)
If I filter them down to 7 column groups they work perfectly (altbeit slowly,1-2 mins), 8 groups works sometimes, 9 never works. I've checked that the report execution timeout is set to 10 minutes.
The SSRS log shows the errors as WrapperReportRenderingException and JobCanceledException. I'm not sure whether the the rendering error causes the cancelled error or vice versa. does anyone know what I can do about this?
By the way, from looking at the CPU usage of the server, it seems as though SSRS does carry on rendering the report long after Sharepoint has given up and returned with the helpful error.
Many thanks in advance
Alex

We have a Report Server integrated with SharePoint. A month ago we deployed a report (rdl file) in SharePoint, but the person who deployed it was no longer connected with us. So we decided to deactivate it in our Active Directory. Yesterday, our users returned issues regarding they are unable to access their report. I believe the issue was "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
So I tried to download the rdl file and redeployed it but i am getting error upon deploying to SharePoint. My workaround is to delete the rdl file in SharePoint, redeploy the shared datasource and shared datasets and the rdl file. It went and was now able to run the report in SharePoint.
Is there something relation/happened when deactivating the account in AD that users unable to access the report in SharePoint?

I have published SSRS reports to sharepoint and used the Reporting Services Report viewer to present the reports on a Page. Everything works fine for the day, however in the morning, when I go to view the page, I get an error message
The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)

issue where SSRS reports being executed from a report library in SharePoint intermittently are reloaded after hitting the apply button to run. We are using SSRS 2010 and SharePoint 2013 in integrated mode. So a user clicks on the report, fills in the parameters and hits apply. Maybe 70% of the time the report runs fine. The other 30% the report just reloads and wipes out any parameter selections. We do have a load balancer in front of the web servers.
I've ran fiddler to capture some of the error logging.
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 16
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
SPRequestGuid: 3101219d-876e-60c8-a883-dcdee38b81b5
request-id: 3101219d-876e-60c8-a883-dcdee38b81b5
[code]....
Things we have tried. Multiple versions of IE 8,9,10,11, Firefox, Chrome. All browsers seem to exhibit the behavior.
We ran so more traffic monitoring and it doesn't appear on these refreshes that report actually connects to the data context so it seems to be failing prior to that. (Possibly at the SharePoint server. Logging from the server apparently didn't show much in terms of when this occurred) It doesn't seem to matter if the report has 1 or 10 parameters.
We did notice that when we took the load balancer out of the equation and just hit the web server directly, the refreshes "appeared" to decrease in regularity but still occur.Also, the reports do not exhibit the refresh issue when running locally within Visual Studio 2013.

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.
(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)
Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.
1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?
This question remains unanswered as of yet.
2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.
RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?
3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.
Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).
4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/
Found these errors in the event logs on the server.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.
RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?
5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.
First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.
Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.
Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:
Initial query obtained from: Connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List (David Wise)
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
Note: Queries when executing the dataset (which errors out) and when executing a query in CAML Viewer for the same information (which does work just fine) both initially return 401.1 and 401.2 errors (as viewed in Fiddler). Since the CAML query works, I have not tracked this down yet.
A. Original format from posting
<Query>

<SoapAction>
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>
</Query>
Parameter; Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList
Was NOT prompted to define the query parameters
- Gets this error: "An error occurred while setting the command text property of the data extension command. The XmlDP query is invalid. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions)."
- Advanced information from the error => 'http' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 2, position 19. (System.Xml)
B. Changed: Placed the namespace URL in quotes (also tried with and without / in namespace after /soap)
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems

RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.
Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:
1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.
Tried this query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).
As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!
6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.
A. Begin by setting up new data to report on
1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it
2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.
B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned
1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....
RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.
7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:
A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.
RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.
function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin
if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function
B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.
RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)
C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.
So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

2. Prep for SQL
2a. Install ASP.NET, IIS (www) and .NET 2.0
3. Install SQL/SSRS 2005 Std
3a. Verify SSRS works
3b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
3c. Use service account SQLSPS for anything requiring Windows credentials
4. Install SQL2005 SP2
4a. Verify SSRS works
4b. RS config tool shows SP integration as blue exclamation
5. Prep for SharePoint
5a. Install .NET 3.0
6. Install MOSS2007 Enterprise and configure
6a. Webapps, SSP and anything else use svc acct SQLSPS
6b. Move Default website to port 8080 and re-activate (SharePoint stopped the site)
6c. Verify SSRS works on 8080
7. Install Reporting Services Add-in
8. Create new RS database in integration mode (with service credentials)
8a. RS config tool shows SP integration as red x
9. SP central admin /application management / manage integration settings
9a. reports server = http://srv1:8080/reportserver (since default port has been moved to 8080)
10. SP central admin /application management/grant database access
10a. using the FQDN, confirm servername and default instance - click OK
10b. Prompted for an account to use to retrieve information; svc acct SQLSPS did not work, domain admin did though
11. SP central admin / application management/set server defaults
11a. Accepted all defaults
12. Verify reportserver answers at http://srv1:8080/reportserver (via reportserver AppPool and DefaultAppPool)
13. Changed the application pool identity for the ReportServer AppPool from Network Service to the domain user service account I used for all SQL and SharePoint configurations (SQLSPS) and rebooted. The red x for sharepoint integration in the RS configuration tool is now a green checkmark.

I need to ensure some naming standards to users while creating tables.
All table name should be in same pattern
(ie., ) TeamName_EmpId_tablename
I need a way to restrict user to follow the naming standard. If any user tries to create table without the above naming standard system should not allow.

In a stored procedure I dynamically create a temp table by selecting the name of Applications from a regular table. Then I add a date column and add the last 12 months. See attachment.
So far so good. Now I want to update the data in columns by querying another regular table. Normally it would be something like:
UPDATE ##TempTable
SET [columName] = (SELECT SUM(columName)
FROM RegularTable
WHERE FORMAT(RegularTable.Date,'MM/yyyy') = FORMAT(##TempMonths.x,'MM/yyyy'))
However, since I don't know what the name of the columns are at any given time, I need to do this dynamically.
how can I get the column names of a Temp table dynamically while doing an Update?

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

Hello,
Sorry for the newbie question...
Is there a way to "serve" up reports in a SharePoint-like way without using SharePoint?
I am part of a team of ASP.NET developers that are writing our own pages, but I haven't been able to find information about Reporting Services 2005 in ASP.NET and/or using Web Parts on our own pages.
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,
Patrick Conway

Hi,
We are building a site with Windows sharepoint services and want to integrate reports from Reporting services. We know this can be done with the Report Explorer and Report viewer web parts. Our requirement is to make the site and also the reports (that are being displayed in the Report viewer web part) multilingual i.e. depending on the user's language preference, all the labels and texts on the report should get changed.
Is there some support within Reporting services to do this, or are there other ways (resource files, custom code etc.) through which this can be achieved.
Thanks a lot,
Simranjeev

I'm setting the Hidden property to True and then creating the report using the CreateReport method from the ReportingService2006 class. When I check the reportserver database Hidden is set to true. But when I call the GetProperties method it shows Hidden as being false. And in the document library the reports are visable.
I tried calling the SetProperties method after I created the report but it still didn't work.
Here's how I create the report.
Dim props(0) As ReportServer.Property
Dim SetProp As New ReportServer.Property
SetProp.Name = "Hidden"
SetProp.Value = "True"
props(0) = SetProp
rs.CreateReport(Path.GetFileName(fileName), Folder, True, bytes, props, warnings)
Any idea?
Thanks,

Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm working with the Dec CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 and the associated Sharepoint addin.
I've been able to get a report created in VS2005 and manually uploaded to the Document Library holding reports, and the report works when I open it (using an internal datasource, not shared).
My first problem is I can't get VS2005 to deploy datasources or reports to my doc library.
I have configured
TargetDataSourceFolder http://server/site/doclib
TargetReportFolder http://server/site/doclib
TargetServerURL http://server/
When I try to deploy my Shared Data Source, it asks me to login, and will not accept my credentials (I am farm administrator, and site collection administrator, and local administrator, and a site owner)
Secondly, for the report I manually uploaded, I can't edit it in Report Builder (from Sharepoint) because I get stuck on entering something that works into the Select Site or Server dialog box. I've tried http://server/ and http://server/site/ and http://server/site/doclib
Can I have some tips please?
Thanks
Martin

Hi
Having finally managed to get over the hump of getting Sharepoint integrated mode working in a farm install, I am having a problem deploying reports from Visual Studio to Sharepoint.
I have set the deploy properties as follows:
TargetDataSourceFolder: http://ppdwn-bl10:8888/ReportTest/Data Sources
TargetReportFolder: http://ppdwn-bl10:8888/ReportTest/Harvest Reports
TargetServerURL: http://ppdwn-bl10:8888/
Visual Studio is updated to Service Pack 2, as is of course the report server.
The reports APPEAR to deploy - they actually appear in the document library after deployment! But the result is:
------ Build started: Project: Harvest Reports, Configuration: Debug ------
Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings

Through SharePoint you can upload an RDS file and then click manage data sources to hook upthe report to a proper shared data source. Does anyone know if you can do this through the SharePoint object model? We don't deploy our reports using the designer and we don't want to upload the reports using SharePoint. We want to add the reports to a document library using the object model, when we do this we need to manage the data source so that it will run.
Thanks,

Here's a comment (from book) that says
"...Sharepoint sees the Report Viewer Web Part as a single item and will
continually rename it sequentially as Report Viewer [x].... This is a
limitation of SharePoint..."
http://books.google.com/books?id=b0dXlx5aww8C&pg=PA314&lpg=PA314&dq=report+viewer+web+part+title&source=web&ots=U0MVGHySWU&sig=pGBgHh2gXYWcpuZMqttY7S9B65c&hl=en
If this is true then it applies also to the ReportExplorer webpart. Is
there a current fix for SharePoint? Or is there a current fix for the
webParts?
I can see customers complaining that they would like to see on their
SharePoint ReportExplorer WebParts pointing to separate environments (SSRS)
and multiple ReportViewer webparts pointing to different reports.
Which would result in ReportExplorer [1], ReportExplorer
[2],....ReportExplorer [x]
and ReportViewer [1], ReportViewer [2],....ReportViewer [x].
Instructing customer's to ignore webpart title's and look at report names is
NOT going to be acceptable. Especially since other webparts within
Sharepoint behave differently.
Thanks in advance...

I have recently installed Reporting Services Integrated mode with minor issues and at the end I was able to execute reports as well as add the content types.
I am now working on doing the same exact thing except I do not see Report Server Content types. I am able to upload a report and execute it but cannot add the Content Types. When I login into Central Administrator I see the content type in there. Is there something I am missing to add it to "My Site"
Thank you,
