Looking at Subscription failure history
I am trying to determine where in Reporting Services I can go to find out why a report failed on a particular date. I have a particular report subscription that I was unaware had been failing sporadically. The user has given me the dates when the report has failed. I want to be able to look at the history of this particular subscription and note the errors causing the subscription not to go out. How can I go about doing that? Thank you for your help.

You can refer to report's execution log information to check the detail reason of failure, the log is available at this location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFilesPlease remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

It's been some time and I have finally been able to track down the execution logs for our Report Server. Now, I am trying to interpret them. The problem subscription is 1 of 26 different subscriptions for the same report. The other 25 send get delivered via email without any issues. However, this report had been randomly failing about once a week and more recently been failing more. According to the Report Server table named ExecutionLogStorage, the report is never failing. So I looked up the subscription ids for 4 of the reports that do not have any issues being emailed out. I searched for the ids in the logs and found the following information for each subscription: B40913BA-A6BB-43F9-9857-0B80AD9C84AB (Good Report1): schedule!WindowsService_11!a08!11/22/2011-02:30:05:: Creating Time based subscription notification for subscription: ####### notification!WindowsService_11!2390!11/22/2011-02:30:16:: i INFO: Handling subscription ###### to report Report_Name, owner: user_name, delivery extension: Report Server Email. ######## is the subscription id Then I searched for the subscription ID of the faulty subscription and only found the following logs: 32EDEFB9-E35C-4DD4-BF01-2F83718987BB (ProblemReport): library!ReportServer_0-10!204c!11/22/2011-13:52:22:: Call to GetSubscriptionPropertiessAction(########). library!ReportServer_0-10!11f4!11/22/2011-14:43:13:: Call to GetSubscriptionPropertiessAction(########). The interesting thing is the above are logs when the report supposedly delivered ok. Here are the logs on a day that the report failed: 32EDEFB9-E35C-4DD4-BF01-2F83718987BB (ProblemReport): schedule!WindowsService_13!191c!11/23/2011-02:30:11:: Creating Time based subscription notification for subscription: ####### notification!WindowsService_13!be0!11/23/2011-02:30:21:: i INFO: Handling subscription ######## to report report_name, owner: user_name, delivery extension: Report Server Email. library!ReportServer_0-12!c88!11/23/2011-10:06:34:: Call to GetSubscriptionPropertiessAction(##########). What does the GetSubscriptionPropertiessAction() function do? I was wondering if anyone has expertise on interpreting these execution logs.
