Better solution for report management
Here is my problem. I write alot of reports for a large company. Every so often some of these reports need to be updated and each report has around 5-10 files (subreports) that need to be reuploaded. The standard Report Manager only allows uploads of 1 file at a time. Which cases issues for the system engineer as he is the only one that has security access to upload reports to the live envirnoment. now if i change 1 report it takes him 250 uploads to get everything done. This takes up alot of time. What are other people doing in this situation? is there a better interface for the report server? something that allows drag and droping into report directories?

There is the report scripting tool (RS Utility) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162839.aspx which you can use to programmatically upload files. You can also upload them using the Reporting Services web service, via a custom program in C#. To be quite frank with you - having only one person with access to upload reports, and that person having nothing but the web interface (ie. no ability to even open a solution file in Visual Studio).. it's less than ideal. Get the person to install Visual Studio and just deploy from there.Josh Ash
