Getting a .rdl from a ReportBuilder save

I have created and deployed a report model.
I can go to http://localhost/reports not problem
I can create reports no problem using the Report Builder.
My question is: Is there a way of grabbing some sort of .rdl file or
something of that report so I can publish it to another server? After
I save the report I cannot find it anywhere.
Using the Report builder is way simpler than building reports in a VS
report project.
Is there something I am missing? Can you build .rdls in VS using the
same simple UI that is in Report Builder?
Thanks,
BillBill,
By default the report builder will save the RDLin Reporting Services in the
folder where your model is located. You can navigate to this folder via the
Report Manager Website (http://{server}/Reports), navigate to where your
model is located and your RDL should be there.
OR
You can save the RDL to your local hard drive through the Report Builder
application via the File \ Save To File and specify on your local hard drive
where u'd like to save the RDL.
Hope this helps.

Get RDL from report server please help!

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to get the rdl or xml from the reporting server some how for a report that is currently published to the server? One my coworkers deleted a report out of a separate project, but somehow it also deleted the report out of the production project. I have older copies of the report, but I would really like to pull down the latest version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

S

Hello S,

Yes, you can do this. Navigate to the report in your Report Manager (http://ServerName/Reports). Go to properties, then click the Edit link under "Report Definition". It will ask you to save the RDL file.

Hope this helps.
