SSRS Reports deployment to Production Server

  • Hi

    I had created few SSRS reports on the development environment. Now I need to deploy those reports to the production environment. The production environment server name & database names are different from development environment.

    Kindly let me know the proper procedure for deployment.

  • Thanks a lot.

    Earlier we were using Crystal Reports. Now we are planning to move to SSRS.

    Reg.:

    It depends on

    > deployment procedures in your workplace, --

    > accepted levels of authority,

    > source code management,

    We just want those reports to work fine. Source Code management is done using VSS.

    You have mentioned:

    > in the solution, properties, change the TargetServerURL to the production server's URL

    > in SSRS production, select "Upload File", which will take you to a screen where you browse to the report to be deployed.

    Will it work fine even if the server names are different?

    Thanks again. I will try & let you know.

  • Hi...

    We were provided with VPN connection to access the production server and are able to view the reports deployed in the production server through the report server link.

    Today, we created one test report and provided the Production Server link in the target url and deployed. It asked for the credentials for that system. And the deployment was successful and we are able to view the report.

    My question is that, we never mentioned the Production server database name, then how it was able to retrieve the report? For clarifying this I stopped the Sql Services in the development environment. Then also the report was working fine. The database names are different in DEV & Production environments.

    Kindly clarify.

  • If RS is on the database server, and . or localhost is used in the data source, this could be another possible reason.

    Take the time to make sure you understand what is happening when you deploy, it will save you trouble down the road.

  • Morning all,

    It is my first post here and mainly my issue is very similar to this thread hence I wanted to keep amount of threads created to minimal that said;

    Environment: Sql server 2012 with SSRS in Sharepoint integrated mode 2013.

    Problem: Have created and successfully deployed reports to both Dev and Prod Sharepoint environments. But like the original poster have the same issue; how do I change depending on the environment the data set accessed by the report?

    If possible a bullet point list that these are the set of things I need to change be great. I like to keep macro things as simple as possible as in our profession we deal with enough complications.

    Additional info:

    1) I have in the properties of SSRS in Visual Studios 2012 been able to set correct deployment paths to both sharepoint dev and prod. So 1 click deployment to both environments work. and tested it works. Using "shared dataset" that points to dev for now.

    2) Many of the prod databases are not even created yet as we are relatively new environment and I would like input if possible of best practice to use here i.e. industry standards on if dev and prod db names should remain same; etc. In this project I do have control over prod and can dictate how our BI team wants the DB/tables named etc. In the past IT teams with DBAs have done this for me.

    Thanks much in advance for input and any other questions I can answer from my side plz fire away.
