CHAPTER 8 DEPLOYING REPORTS
Figure 8-15. Complete report publisher showing folders on SSRS server
Note You need to deploy the shared data source from the Chapter 8 sample code prior to uploading the sample
report included in Chapter 8. The report uses this shared data source and will tell you that it could not publish the
report because it can't find the shared data source on the SSRS 2012 server. Also note that the shared data source
in this chapter is in the local Chapter 8 folder instead of the Pro_SSRS folder we have been using. We did this
because, when uploading the report using the SSRS Publisher, it will make the connection to the shared data
source Pro_SSRS only if it resides in the same folder as you deploy the report to.
By default, the Root folder on your server has been selected. Drill down and select the Pro_SSRS
node in the TreeView. After you’ve selected the folder to use, click Open, and select the report in the
EmployeeServiceCost.rdl file included in the Chapter 8 sample code. When you click Open, your report
publishing application uses the Report Server Web services CreateCatalogItem method and publishes
the report to the selected server.
