Added function to create folder if target does not contain folder. Added helper function to use relative path for linking data source which is helpful in scenarios where data source does not live in the same directory as report file.
SQL Server Reporting Services migration script
This is a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services RSS script that migrates content from one Reporting Services server to another.
Run the script with the rs.exe utility. Rs.exe is installed by Reporting Services.
For details about rs.exe see: https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/reporting-services/tools/rs-exe-utility-ssrs
For more detailed instructions and examples of using the script, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/reporting-services/tools/sample-reporting-services-rs-exe-script-to-copy-content-between-report-servers
The script supports report server versions SQL Server 2008 R2 and later and Power BI Report Server, and both native mode report servers and SharePoint mode report servers. It can be run from the source or target server.
To use the script
-
Download ssrs_migration.rss
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing ssrs_migration.rss, for example c:\rss
-
Run the command in the rss file in one line.
Limitations
- Passwords are not migrated, and must be re-entered (e.g. data sources with stored credentials)
Additional info
The virtual folder structure presented to the user in SharePoint might be different from the physical structure that is used by this script.
Open http://servername/_vti_bin/reportserver in a browser to see the non-virtual folder structure.
This is helpful for setting SrcFolder and SnkFolder to something other than "/" for a server in SharePoint integrated mode.
