Generate report from URL - SQL Server Reporting Services 2008

Question

I have SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 and when I open the following URL:

"http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?someReport"

I'm getting report screen in which I fill my parameters and generate a report,

My question is how can I do this without any GUI? by batch file or C# script..

Thanks in advance.

=========================================================================

EDIT:

Thanks to all answer above I succeed to generate a report and save it as an XML using the following link:

"http://Server/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?someReport&dFrom=01/01/2012&dTo=08/08/2012&rs%3AFormat=XML"

Thanks for you all!!!

Answer 1

Your problem is you are passing parameters to http://server/reports... you need to pass parameters to http://server/reportserver...

I remember this issue I had when I first started using Reporting Services.

Here's the MSDN that may help you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155391.aspx

For example, to specify two parameters, “ReportMonth” and “ReportYear”, defined in a 
report, use the following URL for a native mode report server:

http://myrshost/ReportServer?/AdventureWorks 2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008

The result is like so:

http://myRSServer/ReportServer/Pages/Report.aspx?%2fDefaultTenant%2fDialing+Reports%2fDialing+Agent+Performance&dFrom=01/01/2012&dTo=08/08/2012

If you want to export the report to excel / pdf / etc you can append it:

For excel: &rs:Format=Excel

For PDF: &rs:Format=PDF

This should help as well: http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1336/pass-parameters-and-options-with-a-url-in-sql-reporting-services/

Answer 2

Your second URL option is the closest, you pass the date parameters without quotes. As JonH states you want to use ReportServer instead of Reports , and you also want to remove ItemPath=

http://Server/ReportServer/Pages/Report.aspx?%2fDefaultTenant%2fDialing+Reports%2fDialing+Agent+Performance&dFrom=01/01/2012&dTo=08/08/2012

Additionaly, if you want to export the file you can append &rs:command=render&rs:format=PDF replacing PDF with the format you desire

Answer 3

string URL = "YourReportUrl";     
string FullURL = URL + "&JobId=" + JobId.ToString() + "&JobNumber=" + JobNo.ToString() + "&rs%3aCommand=Render";

Where JobId and JobNumber will be your Parameter names. This will directly open in your report Viewer.

To display in XML format, add this &rs%3AFormat=XML to end of URL.

string FullURL = URL + "&JobId=" + JobId.ToString() + "&JobNumber=" + JobNo.ToString() + "&rs%3aCommand=Render&rs%3AFormat=XML";

Answer 4

Following is an example for using URL for a report. It passes parameters and also specify whether the parameters should be hidden or not

http://myServer/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/InventoryTracking/Receiving/InboundContainerID
&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false&Plant="20"

If are using HTML file to display this, then use

window.location.href = url;
