CHAPTER 8 DEPLOYING REPORTSFigure 8-2. Report Manager Upload File dialog box
Using this dialog box, you can browse to the RDL file that you want to upload and then upload it.
You can also upload data source files here too, as well as RDS files, but they won’t be automatically seen
as data sources. We will show you later in the chapter how to create datasources correctly.
Browse to sample files for Chapter 6 and select the EmployeeServiceCost.rpt file in the reports folder
to upload to your report server. The Report Manager places the file into the current folder (the one from
which you initiated the upload process).
Note that newly uploaded reports are no longer tagged with a marker showing that they are new,
which was done in some older versions of SSRS. Each report that you upload will have a dropdown menu
from within the report manager interface. This menu allows you to perform some management
functions and open the properties editing page. This “manage” option can be seen below in Figure 8-3.
