报告的SSRS快照

Question

是否可以创建报告并将其每月一次保存到.pdf或excel中，并通过电子邮件将其作为快照发送给人员列表，是否可以在快速版中完成？

Answer 1

As Diego says, you are describing SSRS subscriptions .

Data Driven subscriptions are only available with SQL Server Enterprise edition, and Express does not support any subscriptions:

• All reports are processed on demand. Scheduled or unattended report processing is not supported.

If you need to use Express edition, then you'll need to build your own solution. But that would probably justify the cost of a standard Sql Server license.

Answer 2

what you want is a subscription (probably a Data-Driven Subscription). A subscription can deliver a report at a specific time or in response to an event.

To do that you will need to use stored credentials or no credentials (Windows Authentication is not applicable) because the subscription will run as a background process.

A snapshot is one of the 3 ways of running a report (other than "on demand" and "on demand from cache")

Answer 3

I realize it is the poor man's solution, but if you are limited to SSRS Express Edition, you can set up a scheduled job (via cron, SQL Server Agent, Scheduled Tasks, etc.) that simply emails out a URL link to the report with various parameters set (or to a snapshot version if applicable) that people can then click on and go to the Report Manager and view.

In a way, this can actually be an elegant solution when your reports require Windows Authentication to filter datasets (for example, when accessing a SSAS cube-based dataset) and it's not secure to have the report run with a stored credential.
