• ReportingServiceTools cmdlet

Notes If the ReportingServiceTools is not present the user will be asked to allow installation.

Functions

Get-RINode

Gets a report item node information.

Set-RINodeValue

Updates the shared DataSource of a report or multiple reports on a report server.

Install-RIReport

Uploads a report or reports in a folder on disk to a report server.

Set-RIDataSourceReference

Add-RISQLExtension

Adds sql extension(s) from a folder on disk to specified SQL database.

Extensions

There are two types of extensions currently supported. You can find two examples in the Extensions folder. Extensions are useful when you need to add user defined functions or give additional rights for your imported reports.

• Permission
• User Defined function

Notes

The extensions need to be in the same folder and have the perm for Permission or ufn for user defined function prefix.

## Get syntax help
Get-Help .\Install-SRSReport.ps1

## Typical installation example
#  With extensions
.\Install-SRSReport.ps1 -ReportServerUri 'http://CM-SQL-RS-01A/ReportServer' -ReportFolder '/ConfigMgr_XXX/SRSDashboards' -ServerInstance 'CM-SQL-RS-01A' -Database 'CM_XXX' -Overwrite -Verbose
#  Without extensions (Permissions will still be granted on prerequisite views and tables)
.\Install-SRSReport.ps1 -ReportServerUri 'http://CM-SQL-RS-01A/ReportServer' -ReportFolder '/ConfigMgr_XXX/SRSDashboards' -ServerInstance 'CM-SQL-RS-01A' -Database 'CM_XXX' -ExcludeExtensions -Verbose
