Using the Command Parameter
You can include the rs:Command parameter in a URL. The value of the parameter determines the type of request made to the report server by the client. The following table describes values that are supported by the Command parameter.
| Command value | Description |
|---|---|
GetDataSourceContents |
Displays the properties of a given shared data source. The properties are displayed as XML. |
GetResourceContents |
Renders a resource and display it in an HTML page. Using this value equates to calling the Web service GetResourceContents method directly. |
ListChildren |
Displays children of the item passed to the URL. Child items are displayed within a generic item-navigation page. Using this value equates to calling the ListChildren method. |
Render |
Renders the specified report. Using this value equates to calling the Render method. |
Note
A URL can contain only one Command parameter. If a URL includes multiple Command parameters, an error is returned. If the Command parameter is specified in a URL without an accompanying value, the Command parameter is ignored.
Example
The following example generates a generic item-navigation page that you can use to view all the child items of your Samples folder.
https://servername/reportserver?/SampleReports&rs:Command=ListChildren
