Manage a report in offline mode

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

The following report managing activities can’t be performed when the local Microsoft Dynamics CRM system remains in the offline mode:

• Create reports or update reports by using the CreateRequest message or the UpdateRequest message, respectively.

• Delete the reports by using the DeleteRequest message.

• Change the ownership type of the reports by using the MakeAvailableToOrganizationReportRequest message or the MakeUnavailableToOrganizationReportRequest message.

• Run the custom reports that use the multi-valued parameters. The multi-valued parameters are defined in the MultiValue element of the Report Definition Language (RDL) file.

However, you can retrieve the published reports in the offline mode by using the RetrieveRequest message and the RetrieveMultipleRequest message. This enables you to view the reports in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Viewer and the Reports list.

Note

We don’t recommend that you use the ReportFolder, ReportName, and ReportServerUrl global variables in reports that run in the offline mode. These variables are members of the Globals collection that contains the global variables for the report, such as execution time, number of pages, and report name.
