Recovering Reports

I had an unfortunate situation where a downed server resulted in a significant amount of lost work (the rdl files of several reports I had been working on).

I had previously uploaded them to the reporting services server and had hoped that I could recover them from there - but I can't find them anywhere.

Is there a mechnaism for recovering rdl files (or at least the sql behind them?) from the reporting services server?SadIt's very easy. Open the SQL Managment Studio. Connect to Reporting Services. Then right click on each report do you want to export and select the option script, script to file.
That's all.
I hope it helps you.

of your reporting server database

so, you can go to the properties -> general page of each report and click on
the edit link under report definition and save as.

recovering file from report server

Hi
Is it possiable to recover a .rdl file from the report server? I deleted a
report file from Visual Studio, but it was succesfully published to the
report server.
Any help is appreciated.

you need to get multiple reports from the server this will be quicker

reproduce that report from scratch. Jasper, Thanks for the code link. And a
new site to read!

Recover RDL file

Hello,
I've got a huge problem with SQL Server 2005. I've lost the RDL file built
with SQL Server BI Studio (developper hard disk format, with no backup), and
the only thing that I've got now is the server itself, with the ReportServer
database.
Is it possible to re-create a RDL file from the tables in this database?
Thanks for your help.
JN.In report manager click on the report, properties tab, click the edit button
under Report Definition. Give is a local directory (different from where the
project will be). Then create a new project and add and existing item to it.
It will copy the rdl over into the project directly. Not very discoverable
but works as advertized.
