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.
Examples
To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example publishes a report in the form of a Report Definition Language (RDL) file to a report server database.
