CHAPTER 12 DELIVERING BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE WITH SSRS
deployed. SSRS reports can be deployed to any valid SharePoint path, as you will see shortly. The
Business Intelligence Center is a location where you can create a dashboard or Microsoft Excel
workbook as well as an area where reports can be deployed. It is in the Reports Library, which resides
within the Document Center, where SSRS RDL files, data sources, and many other types of reports can
be stored.

As I mentioned, RDL reports can be deployed to any valid document library in SharePoint. In Figure
12-28, you can see project properties for your Pro_SSRS report solution. Since you will be deploying
these reports to the SharePoint server, the target URLs for the server and report folder will be different
from those for a native SSRS deployment. You can see that the server will be a URL to the main
SharePoint site, in our case http://localhost/. The target report folder is a URL that points to a valid
SharePoint document library; in this case, http://localhost/sites/Pro_SSRS/Reports, which is pointing
to our Report Library contained in the Document Center.
