Hi Superdec, The RS script utility uses the Reporting Services web services to access the report server. So, we can use the utility to export reports to a specified folder. Here is a sample for your reference: '============================================================================= ' File: ExportReport.rss ' ' Summary: Demonstrates a script that can be used with RS.exe to ' export reports to a specified folder.

' ' 1.1 Overview ' ' This sample script uses a script file (.rss) and the script environment to run ' Web service operations on a specified report server. The script creates a folder ' that you specify as a command-prompt variable using the -v switch, and then ' export the sample reports that ship with Reporting Services to a specified physical folder. ' Depending on the location of your exported reports, you may need to modify the ' value of the filePath variable, which references the path to your exported reports. ' ' 1.2 Script Variables ' ' Variables that are passed on the command line with the -v switch: ' ' (a) reportPath - corresponds to the report that is being to exported. ' (b) vFullPathOfOutputFile - corresponds to the folder that is used to store the exported file. ' ' 1.3 Sample Command Lines ' ' ' 1.3.1 Use the script to publish the sample reports to an AdventureWorks Sample Reports folder.

Thanks Jin. But I have report with two paramter which I need to supply to run report (Datetime & String). Any idea how to pass parameter?

Hi Superdec,For passing parameters to a report, we can use the following code:' Prepare report parameter. Dim parameters(2) As ParameterValue parameters(0) = New ParameterValue() parameters(0).Name = "EmpID" parameters(0).Value = "288" parameters(1) = New ParameterValue() parameters(1).Name = "ReportMonth" parameters(1).Value = "6" ' June parameters(2) = New ParameterValue() parameters(2).Name = "ReportYear" parameters(2).Value = "2004"rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us")I would suggest you reading the following article to get more information about "Render" method:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportexecution2005.reportexecutionservice.render.aspxPlease feel free to ask if you have any more questions.Thanks,Jin ChenJin Chen - MSFT

Jin:I used the code that you provided to help me get started on an automation project that is going to save me a lot of time.So - thanks!- Simon

Hi In the above example, you have passed parameters by specifying their names and values. Now I have stored the paramenter name and values for each report in an SQL table. So how do I pass them into this rss script, without specifying the values and names in the rss script. I hope I have been clear. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
