public function CreateReport(
    Report : String, 
    Parent : String, 
    Overwrite : boolean, 
    Definition : byte[], 
    Properties : Property[]
) : Warning[]

Parameters

  • Parent
    Type: System.String
    The fully qualified of the parent folder to which to add the report.
  • Overwrite
    Type: System.Boolean
    A Boolean expression that indicates whether an existing report with the same name in the location specified should be overwritten.

Return Value

Type: array<ReportService2005.Warning[]
An array of Warning objects that describes any warnings that occurred when the report definition was validated.

Remarks

The length of the Parent parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Parent parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.

If errors occur, the report is not created.

Adding a report to the report server database modifies the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate properties of the parent folder.

Examples

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example publishes a report in the form of a Report Definition Language (RDL) file to a report server database.
