Hi all! Anyone know where information (properties) for individual reports are stored on the report server? I know where to find the reports and can run them from the MRE or ReportCaster but where does the MRE get/store the properties (name, filename, date, etc.)? I'd like to create a dynamic list of reports that is displayed on an ASP page. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

If you are talking about MRE reports, the information is stored in an htm file in basedir.
Go to the domain in MRE, and look at its properties to determine its physical name. Then look for an htm file with that name.

Thanks! I found the htm file but am wondering where the properties info comes from - when the file name is right-clicked. Is this part of the java front-end on the MRE?

Actually all of those properties are in that same file on the same line as the report. Try modifying the properties of one of your reports and looking at the difference in the htm file.

Just to be clear, you have to be looking at the DOMAIN htm file. You can find this by right-clicking the specific domain folder you are looking at in Dev Studio under "Managed Reporting, Domains".

Also, check out the following posts. There are master files included in the posts that will help you write reports off of that domain HTM file. I've used this with some pretty good luck -- pretty handy.

Trav,

I'm glad that the Master for the MRE domain HTML file came in handy.

That was an expensive freebie I put out there!
