Set Report Name in SSRS- Export report - sql-server

I have designed a report from SSAS Data source. While exporting the report facing issue with report name. My report name "Effort_Varience", I want name something like this
"Effort_Varience_DATETIME".
"DataSetName_Effort_Varience_DATETIME".
Please help me, where to change in config file or any xml coding.
Thanks in advance!!

If you are using Report Viewer control on a web application, you can refer to the link below:

If your are using SSRS in standalone way, there is no way to achive your requirement.

How can we add descriptions to gds reports?

I have a bunch of reports created in data studio.
I would like to add a short description to each report, so users can more easily find which report to use. The description should be visible on the main reports catalog (without needing to open each report).
Is it even possible?
How?
If not, any suggestions for workarounds?
Thanks

how to specify the data source of a report in a url

If I design a report based on some data source, lets say an spreadsheet from google sheets.
but then I want to reuse this report on a different sheet, can I do this without actually editing the report? Can I specify the source somehow in the URL?
Then all I need to do to reuse the report is upload new sheets to my google drive and then connect them to the report by specifying them in the URL.
Is this possible? Or is there a better way to do it?
(I'm googling, but I cannot find out how to reuse reports without actually manually editing them).
so there does seem to be something called "Custom JSON/CSV/XML" by Supermetrics.
and you seem to be able to specify the url as a parameter somehow. If someone has done this and succeeded/failed, or knows of a walkthrough/tutorial, or a variation on this theme then that would be helpful.
Using default connectors, you can't change the Data Source using parameters.
You may try to create a community connector with a parameter to set the desired resource, but I don't think it will fit your needs or worth the effort (you'll still need to edit the report to change the parameter).
However, when you click to copy/duplicate a report, it prompt you to select new sources for each Data Source in your report. It will copy-then-edit your report anyway, but it is a friendly interface. Maybe you should try this.

How to create an RDL using the report class generated from the RDL schema

I have a project where we are creating a custom report generator for SSRS 2008R2. This project allows the user to select fields from a database and then create and store the RDL on the report server.
For some of the initial proof of concept attempts we have been using XMLText writer to generate the XML file. While this works this seems to be very cumbersome and I don't have a lot of confidence in how the schema is being generated as being 100% bulletproof. A second attempt is actually using the generated class from the RDL as my object model. Where I am stuck here is there is almost zero documentation on how to use this object. MSDN has a tutorial on updating the model but it very basic in concept.
I'm looking for some guidance on the preferred approach.
1) continue with the XML generation
2) use the RDL object to create the reports
3) I have also considered using the SSRS endpoint where a dummy report is created and stored on the server then using the RDL object model to update the report with the necessary fields, groups etc.
I haven't tested the third option but it seems as this would minimize the amount of coding for the creation of the document.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas
I just built a program that creates an SSRS report from a report template and a stored procedure.
I am using the RDLObjectModel to create the report. And RDLSerializer to allow saving the report to a file or the report server. I first load a report template from our report server through the SSRS web service to deserialize the server report into and RDLObjectModel. I then derive parameters for the report fields, and derive fields from the stored procedure to make a report dataset.
The problem that I ran into is that I wasn't able to serialize the report object to be able to save it to the server or to a file because in RDL2008 RDLSerializer is private. Then I came across an article that saved me a lot of headaches. http://ucodia.fr/2011/10/advanced-reporting-services-part2-rdl-serializer/
This is a much better approach that using XMLTextWriter. This should provide you enough to get things rolling.
I ran into the same problem where I was using RdlObjectModel to create my report object but I was unable to serialize it. There is a way to overcome that issue where you can still get instance of the RdlSerializer and call serialize method using reflection
You can find the implementation at the following link

Change the datasource in a report Devexpress WPF Xtrareports

I have a report in Devexpress that is assigned to a certain Datasource and I need to change it to a different Datasource. I want to do this without having to put all the fields back into the report. To help me with this I copied all of my tables and stored procedures to the new Database. Is there a way to do this? This report is going to multiple clients that each have their own naming convention so I would need to be able to change it dynamically. Thank you in advance for your help.
You can comfortably change the connection string and everything should work. This also depends on how you are accessing your data. If you are using standard datasets or some other ORM tool then this should work so long as you have exposed the connection string in your config file.

How to send a SQL Server Report as Word doc to BPOS SharePoint document library

I'm trying to determine how exactly to convert SSRS reports to Word docs and have them sent to the Sharepoint doc library. From my research, all I could gather was that it's all part of SS Integration Services, but little else. I'm not using report builder, but Visual Studio.
Any help here would be highly appreciated.
Thank you! :)
I assume what you would like to do is have the report run, and the results be exported to a file location?
If so, its not too difficult. I used this as a starting point:
http://weblogs.asp.net/srkirkland/archive/2007/10/29/exporting-a-sql-server-reporting-services-2005-report-directly-to-pdf-or-excel.aspx
I was able to create a simple WinForms app that upon a button click would run a report and save the results as a PDF to a file location.
I am not familiar with the Sharepoint doc library. So I'm not sure if you export the results as Word doc to the file location which holds the documents if it will auto-magically show up in the list.
