我想通过单击一个字段来执行报告订阅

Question

I have created a report on the SQL Server Report Service that lists all reports and their corresponding subscriptions.

[report name] [subscription description] [run]

I have added a column called [run] that contains an image. I want to make it so that if the user clicks on the [run] image/cell, it executes the corresponding subscription.

Is this possible?

I've looked at the image action, but it only seems to allow execution of reports (not subscriptions) or URLs.

Answer 1

The workaround I used was to create a separate report called SubscriptionRunner which accepts one parameter (the subscription id) and executes that subscription using the following SQL (provided by Anthony Forloney):

EXEC ReportServer.dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData=<SubscriptionID>

I then set the Action property of the cell in the original report to Run the SubscriptionRunner report.

This has the side effect of opening SubscriptionRunner (which I would prefer to avoid) but it will do for now.
