SQL SQLExpress: .rss methods no longer supported

I am having a problem running a sql2k report service script on my new sql2005 server. It seems that the methods SessionHeader() and rs.render are no longer suport. can someone help me figure out what I need to do to continue automating my report running?

rss file contents: (the parts that should matter)

Any advice on how to fix this would be graetly appreciated. Thanks!

The version of rs.exe that ships with SQL 2005 is configured to run against the new 2005 management SOAP endpoint by default. The old 2000 endpoint is still supported. Just add -e mgmt2000 to the command line to use the old endpoint. You can get more information on this option by running rs.exe /? or in the MSDN help files.|||

Thank you so much!!!

That seems to be working beautifully. Just started the batch and its running smoothly so far!

Hi,

my opinion is that this is not a solution, only a workaround. How would a script look like, which is using the ReportingServices2005 endpoint and methods.

I could use the endpoint by this

Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()

But now the debugger tells me that the render method is not a member of Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.ReportingServices2005 .

I want to render a report to the file system. This is the whole script:

' Export report to pdf format to the specified path under filePath and to the file which is specified under fileN
Dim format as string = "PDF"
Dim filePath as String = "D:\temp\"
Dim fileN as String = "reportx"
'Dim Datum as String = CString(Date)
Dim fileName as String = filePath + fileN + ".pdf"
Dim reportPath as String = "/reportx/reportx

Public Sub Main()

' Prepare Render arguments
Dim historyID as string = Nothing
Dim deviceInfo as string = Nothing
Dim showHide as string = Nothing
Dim results() as Byte
Dim encoding as string
Dim mimeType as string = "application/pdf"
Dim warnings() AS Warning = Nothing
Dim reportHistoryParameters() As ParameterValue = Nothing
Dim streamIDs() as string = Nothing
'Windows Credentials were send to Reporting server service
Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

' Report Parameters
Dim parameters(0) As ParameterValue
results = rs.Render(reportPath, format, _
Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, _
Nothing, Nothing, encoding, mimeType, _
reportHistoryParameters, warnings, streamIDs)

' Open a file stream and write out the report
Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName)
stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length)
stream.Close()

End Sub

'End of script

I also saw that render error. Since I'm using rs.exe, I used the -e parameter to specify the endpoint. Here's the command line I used: rs -i sample2.rss -s http://localhost/reportserver -e Exec2005

And here's the contents of sample2.rss (very similar to yours):

'Dim format as string = "Excel"
'Dim fileName as String = "C:\Export2.xls"
Dim format as string = "PDF"
Dim fileName as String = "C:\Export2.pdf"
Dim reportPath as String = "/My_Reports/Test_Report"

Public Sub Main()

' Prepare Render arguments
Dim historyID as string = Nothing
Dim deviceInfo as string = Nothing
Dim showHide as string = Nothing
Dim results() as Byte
Dim encoding as string = Nothing
'Dim mimeType as string = "ms-excel"
'Dim extension as string = "xls"
Dim mimeType as string = "application/pdf"
Dim extension as string = "pdf"
Dim warnings() AS Warning = Nothing
Dim reportHistoryParameters() As ParameterValue = Nothing
Dim streamIDs() as string = Nothing

rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

Dim parameters(1) As ParameterValue
parameters(0) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(0).Name = "UserID"
parameters(0).Value = "myuserid"
parameters(1) = New ParameterValue()
parameters(1).Name = "GroupNum"
parameters(1).Value = Nothing
Dim execHeader AS New ExecutionHeader()
Dim rpt AS New ExecutionInfo
rpt = rs.LoadReport(reportPath, Nothing)
rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us")
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID = rpt.ExecutionID
results = rs.Render(format, deviceInfo, extension, mimeType, encoding, warnings, streamIDs)

' Open a file stream and write out the report
Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName)
stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length)
stream.Close()

End Sub
