Remarks

The table below shows header and permissions information on this operation.

SOAP Headers	(In) BatchHeaderValue (Out) ServerInfoHeaderValue
Required Permissions	Creating a new report: CreateReport on Parent AND ReadProperties on the report's data sources AND ReadProperties on the report's datasets Updating an existing report: UpdateReportDefinition on Report AND UpdateProperties on Report (if Properties contains properties) AND UpdateProperties on the report's data sources AND UpdateProperties on the report's datasets

The length of the Parent parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Parent parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.

If errors occur, the report is not created.

Adding a report to the report server database modifies the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate properties of the parent folder.
