SSRS to.Xl Action
I have a textbox. In the textbox properties called Action > Go to URL I put the below URL:
http://sqluatrs01.cn.ca/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fAGILERPTS%2fRMREPORTS%2fAREscalationXLTabs&Header1=@Header1&Header2=@Header2&BusinessUnit=@BusinessUnit&CreditStatus=@CreditStatus&SalesDirector=@SalesDirector&Header3=@Header3&AccountMgr=@AccountMgr&OwnerCategory=@OwnerCategory&Team=@Team&Owner=@Owner&PortfolioMgr=@PortfolioMgr&SalesArea=@SalesArea&CustomerType=@CustomerType&DisputeStatus=@DisputeStatus&CCIDSearch=@CCIDSearch&EscalationDays=@EscalationDays&CustNamesSearch=@CustNamesSearch&Custnames=@CustNames%3AFormat=XML
I am passing 18 parameters and want .RDL called AREscalationXLTabs to execute and create a .XL document.
I assume it will ask users where to out the .XL then process and put results there. I do not want the report to display.
Am I doing this correctly and is the URL correct to create a .XL document.
When I execute the above URL, the SSRS report AREscalationXLTabs displays waiting for me to key in parameters information which I already did.

Hi thayduck,
The path you have used is the path of report manager url. Instead of it use the Url of Web Service Url. You can find the same from your SSRS report Configuration. Refer below scree shot.
Now.
Generate the url as per that. And pass parameter as you did earlier. To have the particular output format. Add parameter in the url like
&rs:Format=PDF or XML if you want in that.
To get the exact url of the report. You can simply go the Web service url of SSRS. Locate that report click on it you will have the Report url. Modify the url as you want.
Hope it will help.

When textbox is clicked, the below Action URL is executed:
The report in the URL is displayed with no parameter data passed to it.
Not sure why parameter data is not being passed.
Some of the parameters to be passed contain multiple values.

What are the multi value parameters?
ASKER
The are all Multiple Values except @Header1, @Header2, @Header3, @CCIDSearch and @CustNames.
If you need to pass value for multi value parameter you have to code like below.
E.g. I have year as a multi value parameter and want to pass two values if should me like
&Year=2005&Year=2007

ASKER
Wait, I don't know what the user chooses in the multi value parameters. It could be many combinations of different choices. You mean I cannot send the multi select parameter as @BusinessUnit or @CreditStatus in the URL ?
You can pass the multiple values on the action of text box to sub report.
But please check Parameter configuration for the report you are calling from URL.
It must be configured as "Allow Multiple Values"

They are all configured to allow multiple values.
Not one of the parameter values is being passed. Even when I hard code something in the URL for one of the none multi value parameters. Nothing..

Can you please post a screenshot ?
You are calling other report url when user click on text box. So i think you have configured the Action for Text box lie "Go To url" .
If it is so.
You can not directly Pass the multiple value the sub report for Go to Url like Action.
You have to configure the Expression Property.
Go to Property of Text box -> Action -> Select Go To URL
Click on "fx" not set the url for that action. I took an example only for BusinessUnit Parameter.

How would you URL look if you we added one more multi value parm to it ?
I am a little confused by the "
What about non multi value parms ?

Hi,
To explain you more clear. I took two multi value parameter and one non multi value parm.
1) BusinessUnit - > Multi Value
2) OwnerCategory -> Multi Value
3) @CCIDSearch -> Single value
4) @Header1 -> Single value
5) @Header2 -> Single value
Now for all above params you have to build your url like below.
You can do it for rest of parameters.

I got this partially working were I see the parameters being passed in the actually URL that is being created. Problem is, the total length of a IE8 or 9 URL can only be around 2083 chars (from what I read). The one URL that was created (because of so many parameter selections) was way over 2083, so my URL was incomplete.
If there is no way passed this issue, then I cannot create this URL in my SSRS report and get it to work since I will never know how many parameter choices the user will be choosing when they run the report. And most times, the URL created will be well over 2083.

According to the URL you gave me, I must make a change to existing SSRS software called ReportingServices.js :
In order to be able to call a report the way we want it in a new tab using the post method, we need to write our own custom javascript function to do it. Reporting Services loads ReportingServices.js javascript file at the beginning of each session, so we can add our own function in this file and have it available in the report. So edit the javascript file to add the function first.
I am not allowed to make such changes.

Is it like access permission issue or you can not modify the scripts because it's not allowed?
ASKER
Not allowed
so in that case we need to think for other alternative.
ASKER
Well, you did come up with a alternative, but I am not allowed to make this change.
So, maybe I will close this question and award you the points.
What do you think ?

Let me talk to our SQL people and see if they can work with us to make that change to ReportingServices.js in a test system.
ASKER
Thanks for the suggestions.

SSRS
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based report generation software system from Microsoft. It can prepare and deliver a variety of interactive and printed reports and is administered via a web interface or its web service. Its web services interface also supports the development of custom reporting applications. Finally, SSRS can also be integrated with SharePoint. SSRS competes with other business intelligence tools, most prominently Crystal Reports.
