Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) has a SOAP endpoint that can execute and render a saved report - /ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx, method LoadReport followed by Render or Render2.
Can one execute a saved SSRS dataset in the same manner?
I know they've added a REST API in SSRS 2017; we have SSRS 2015 on that box.

We are running a local PowerBI report server. It displays PowerBI reports just fine. I wanted to add a datasource to it so that we can also use it for SSRS reporting. Everytime we attempt to create a datasource, it throws this error:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2010.RSConnection2010+MissingEndpointException: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. --->
The backend SQL database is 2019.
Any ideas?
I am facing issues while connecting Reporting Services using Report Builder desktop application from client.
My Environment:
SQL Server Reporting Services 2016
Report builder Latest based on clickonce from client machines
SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Mode 2016 -
Both my SSRS and Analysis services cube are on same Windows server 2012
Authentication type : CUSTOM
Scenario:
I have enabled Custom Authentication on Reporting Services using CustomAuthentication code. Custom Authentication works fine to connect Report Server. I have role based security setup in Analysis Services 2016 and for custom Authentication Row Level Security is working fine based on CUSTOMDATA parameter.
Now I require Report builder to connect my Reporting Services to do report authoring. In this scenario Report builder successfully does custom authentication and connects to report server but during Data Source connection It again tries to connect SSAS cube from client and it fails. I followed steps in configuring Report Builder access as here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/configure-report-builder-access
Any help in this regard will be great.
Report authoring with ReportBuilder requires a direct connection from the ReportBuilder client to the data source. See eg

We have installed SQL Server 2014 on a web server. And we have connected to the SSRS Reporting Services, but we don't see any options (like import report) to upload into the reporting services.
Can anyone plase guide on this one how to get/upload report the reporting services?
You need to go to the Report Manager portal (e.g. http://yourserver/Reports)
and once you're there and you have the appropriate permissions, there will be an Upload File button.
You should see something like this:
You can also deploy a reports project to the server rather than uploading each one, directly from SQL Server Data Tools
In one of the ASP .Net site we are currently working we have a bulk load of SSRS reports. We have forms authentication for the site and reports have already been created and deployed in the report server. We are having so many problems with authentication when we set the report viewer control to access the server report.
I just want to know what are the advantages or disadvantages of using Local report vs Server Report
Thanks,

1- client report don't need to report server for rendering. (advantage)
2- you must make a server report by creating a report server project in BIDS but client reports must create in VS.
3- server reports use stored procedure or text script as data provider but client reports use dataset or xml datasource for this.
4- server reports use report server for rendering of the report but for client reports this work done at report viewer control.
5- client reports don't need SSRS installation but server reports need that.
6- for working with server reports you must deploy reports but in client reports you don't need this work.
7- for enterprise projects, it is better that you use server report but in other projects client reports are better.
Is it possible to render a report in SQL Server Reporting Services using SOAP API without specifying the format such that you get the report toolbar?
Yes, if you code your own rendering extension. Check here to start (Note the link is for SSRS 2008).
