how can I export report dataset, data source etc. to SVN and import from SVN? reason: change management, moving from test to prod, more people working on a project.

Hi George Do you mean you want to check in those items? If that is the case, you could just simply go to the project folder, check in .rds and .rdl files, it depends on if it's shared data source or not. after all, they are just flat file. Regards, Ted

Hello George Zhou, Based on my knowledge, we have no solutions to import the report dataset, data sources from/into SVN directly. However, we can program an application to achieve this goal via the reporting service web service. For example, if you want to upload the report to the reporting service, the method ReportingService2005.CreateReport can achieve this goal. For more information about web service on reporting service, please refer to the following MSDN pages. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152787 Besides, I need mention that if you want to export the report to the SVN, then some information will be lost. For example, if the report is using the "Credentials stored securely in the report server" as the authentication method, then the stored user name and password will not be exported for security reason. As well, if you re-import the report to the report server, the authentication information need be reset manually. I hope my information is helpful to you.
