Make Sure That the <strong>Server</strong> Name Is Correct When Deploying Reports<br />

If either the report server’s Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or Target Folder Name is<br />

specified incorrectly, your report cannot be deployed to the report server. When you<br />

deploy a report from <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> 2005, specify the URL of the server to which the<br />

report should be deployed and the name of the team project of which the report is a part.<br />

The URL of the report server to which the report is to be deployed is<br />

http://<strong>Team</strong><strong>Server</strong>Name/Report<strong>Server</strong>, where Report<strong>Server</strong> is the endpoint of the<br />

Report <strong>Server</strong> Web service.<br />

Specify the team project name in the TargetReportFolder field of the deployment<br />

properties dialog box. This value is case-sensitive; if you get the case wrong, the report<br />

will be deployed but will not appear in the list of reports for your team project in <strong>Team</strong><br />

Explorer.<br />

Create Scheduled Report Snapshots That You Can View over Time<br />

Use report history to build snapshots of project data at regular intervals. You can view<br />

these snapshots over a specified time period to better understand trends, or to remember<br />

important data points throughout the duration of your project.<br />

To create a scheduled report snapshot<br />

1. Open a report from the report portal.<br />

2. Click the Properties tab.<br />

3. Click the History link.<br />

4. Set up a schedule for when you want the snapshot to run.<br />

After the schedule has been set up, you can find the snapshots on the History tab for that<br />

report. You can also create manual snapshots on the History tab.<br />

Modify Existing Reports to Gain Access to Additional Data<br />

Modify reports by using the Microsoft SQL <strong>Server</strong> 2005 Reporting Services Designer<br />

inside <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> (Business Intelligence <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>), which ships <strong>with</strong> the<br />

SQL <strong>Server</strong> 2005 client tools.<br />

Customizing a report enables you to add functionality to an existing report <strong>with</strong>out<br />

having to build a new report. If a report you need is similar to one that already exists,<br />

customize the existing report to save time. To customize an existing report, you must<br />

export it from the report server, add it to an existing report project in <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>, and<br />

then redeploy it to the reporting portal after changes are made.
