I need to export SSRS Reports, found this , however when using it on 2008 R2 Server, get the following error:
The path of the item 'WSDL' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply.If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with a slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
I think this originates in changes made to the WSDL after 2008 R2.
Are there any tools that can be used to export reports located on 2008 R2?
(I can´t open the reports in report viewer and save them)
Thank you :)
There is an easier way to download all reports with the ReportingServicesTools cmdlet.
Check out this post: Download all SSRS reports
If someone has a similar issue, when viewing a reports properties, there is an option to edit it. This will start a download. I did not find any other options, this is tideous, however it downloads them at least

I would appreciate some help or advice on this subject...
So deploying reports to other SSRS sites. Not on the same domain and firewall (but I can remote into the server and work from remote session).
100's of reports (so not reasonable to use the report manager to upload the reports and configure the data sources manually)
RS.EXE works Great!... But I cannot use it because I cannot reach the server from outside the internal network because of firewall restraints.
Downloading and installing DataTools, load the solution and try to deploy mostly had issuses, problems have been incorrect versions of the project / SQL version
The SQL server and VS versions the reports were developed on are 2017.
Targeted SQL Server versions would be 2012 or greater.
Somebody must have had this issue and found a solution. I'm looking for any help or advice. I may have overlook something simple. Thanks.
I tried this GUI tool, which I found in any SSRS forum:
ReportSync
(Works with the SSRS web service asmx)
You can download the source, compile and run. Obviously is not perfect, but is useful to:
Clone a SSRS folder (and all the rdl inside) in the same or different SSRS server
Download entire SSRS reports struct (rld and rds)
Upload entire SSRS reports struct from your local drive
Hope this helps.
Unable to upload rdls on SSRS 2016. Running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Doesn't upload the report once the upload link is clicked.
Any suggestions?
You could try to:
Create new report using SSRS website and then try to replace it with you rdl file
Deploy report directly from Visual Studio
Check if report doesn't appear hidden (look for View->Show Hidden Items)
If you reports were created for older versions of SQL Server they might need to be upgraded (more details)
I have noticed strange behaviour when upload data sources to SSRS 2016, did not have issues with RDLs but is worth to check it out.
In our case, installing the Chrome browser (standalone) allowed us to use the upload functionality of the SSRS website.
Internet Explorer definitely have some issues, most likely security related.
We have not tested it with the Edge browser yet.
Also, the SSRS in question runs on Server 2016. Direct Visual Studio download is not an option due to tight VPN and firewall security.
RDL files developed with 2012 Data Tools uploaded without a problem. However, as suggested, it might be better to upgrade the project to 2016.
Looks like it was an IE issue. Restoring settings solved it.
None of the other options worked. There is a new download button, that allows you to install a lightweight report builder. You can then open your RDL and publish, etc. and obviously do the other lightweight things like check datasources, etc.
I had the same error and was not able to upload the RDL files as well as I was also not been able to create a data source (Something Went Wrong)on the SSRS 2017, the Web Service URL was also not working. finally, it worked by following the below steps:
Uninstall the SSRS
Install the SSRS Again
Configure the service account,
Web Service URL Use the Recommended setting and apply
Configure a new Database with an SSO account
Web portal URL Use the Recommended setting and apply
Try uploading the .rdl files and Create Datasource.
Note: if you have two separate servers for SQL and SSRS Please make sure the firewall is open for the webserver to connect the SQL server on ports 1433 and 80.
Had this same issue and would get "Something went wrong" error when both uploading rdl files and changing data sources. Fixed it by going to uninstall SSRS from the server, and choosing "Repair". Rebooted, and issue fixed.
Someone has installed sql server on my machine, however i'm not sure what is the version currently installed. I tried running : Sql server installation center --> Installed Sql server features discovery report and the result was as follows:
I tried looking in the "Programs and features" section and I found this:
I also tried opening Sql server Services but its empty. Here's a screenshot:
The currently running the services are :
Currently I'm not sure what version is installed, I tried connecting to "." on Sql Management Studio but i got connection error and no instance was found.
Since you can't connect, probably the best thing to do is hunt it down on your file system. Go to your installation, it's probably located somewhere like this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQSERVER\MSSQL\Binn
and find the sqlserver.exe file. Right-click and select Properties on the file. The Details tab of the properties window will show a product version. The product version isn't going to be a name you're super familiar with, but you can look up on the web what version numbers correspond to what product names. Here's one place that has a nice chart. SqlServerBuilds at Blogspot
If you do get management studio to connect, you can get the version quite quickly, either from the connection properties in the Object Explorer, or with the ad hoc query
Select # #Version
I uninstalled 2008 and 2014 version and now the discovery report shows Sql Server 2012 installation correctly
The existing answer is OK, but here is a simpler tip:
Search the entire drive C: for sqlservr.exe. Use the properties dialog in Explorer to determine the file version and Google it.
You can find out what's running with Process Explorer. It can show you the path and version.
I just upgraded from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2. I went to create a trace, but now it's asking me to pick which options to show in the trace and it doesn't select any of them by default. I'm trying to get a trace that works like it did in previous versions of SQL Server, but I can't figure out which options to check in the Trace Properties dialog. I mainly just want to see anytime someone makes any kind of query to the database (the way it worked in previous versions of SQL Server).
I'm guessing that the default template must have changed to blank in R2.
You can set the default to one of your choosing by going into File -> Templates -> Edit Template
In SQL2008 RTM the default template is called "Standard"
I am attempting to open a Crystal Reports 8.5 document, and when I try to set the database to the Production data server, i get the error "Pdssql.dll cannot be found". Googling, this is a common problem, but none of the fixes I tried seem to work.
This is a new computer. I do have SQL Server 2008 client tools installed, but I believe previously I had Sql Server 2005 client tools.
I attempted to install the SQL Server 2005 client tools, but that didn't go through due to me having 2008 installed. I require 2008 to do my job now.
Everything I search for says this is a 16bit driver, and I need to install the 2005 client tools. Unfortunately this cannot be done due to me having 2008. is there some sort of work-around I can do?
Thanks
Here is what I had to do if it helps--I had to retire a windows 2000 server so I needed to move a webapp which required Crystal Reports 8.5 onto a new server.
Since I couldn't locate the original installation runtimes (I don't know who developed or even uses this particular webapp) I had to copy all the crystal reports files over to the new server myself and register the required dlls. The crystal reports designer was working except it couldn't seem to make any connection to any of the database servers.
Then I found a folder that I had missed under C:\winnt\crystal which was filled with files such as p2ssql.dll p2lodbc.dll etc... turns out that P2SSQL.DLL is actually Pdssql.dll!
By putting all these dlls into a folder within my system32 path all my database connections within crystal reports were working again!
Did you try creating a DSN in the ODBC administrator? You would have to update the report to use the DSN instead of a "direct" SQL connection, but it should work. ODBC should do it's job and do all the SQL translation (talking to 2008 and just return generic data to the report).
I do not believe a direct connection from Crystal 8.5 to SQL 2008 would be possible though, because the technologies are almost 10 years apart.
Try to Download "ntwdblib.dll" and put in
Windows\sysytem32
if the system 32 bit or in
Windows \syswow64
if the system 64 bits
