doubts about report deployment

hi all

i have doubts abt report deployment

if i am deploying report then what process exactly happens?

also is any entry made in IIS or is any new file created in IIS?

if i am deploying report on remote server then what process exactly happens?

what r the entries or files that r created on remote server?

plz help me so that i will understand this deployment process very clearly.

waiting for reply.

When you deploy a report to the Report Server it is not storing a file in the webserver. The report is actually stored a binary blob in the reporting services database. This is really cool, because it means that all you have to do is restore your ssrs database if there is a problem.

thanks for helping me in understanding this concept

it is really great.

but i still have some doubt, if i am deleting actual .rdl file of report that i have deployed will report still be executed?

plz reply.

& thanks again

|||Now you've got me confused. How can you delete an .RDL file that's stored inside of a database? If you are deleting the file out of your Report Project, and you have already deployed it. As far as I know it will still be in the Reporting Server database.|||

Note: since the original .RDL file is also stored in the database, you can retrieve the .RDL file from the published report on the report server e.g. in report manager, report properties, edit report definition.

Dont get component choices during installation. Installation finishes without db en iis re

Hallo,
I've tried several times installing RS on a particular machine. The
installation finishes without error messages and without installing the RS
components.
During RS installation on a member server (Win2003, SQL2000 Std SP3a, RS
2000 Std) i dont get the usual Server Components choices and so on. The
usual warning about Visual Studio apperas. But then as i click "Next" in the
warning box the installation just continues on. The box "To continue please
click next" appears but i dont get a chance to click next as the
installation just goes on "automatically". The installation rolls on and on
but after it says it finished successfully the IIS mappings and the RS DBs
arent there.
In this newsgroup I found someone (Johan - post: RS Installation fail
without message) with the same issue, although MS (Brad Syputa) took a look
at it, it did not seem resolved.
Does anybody know what to do about this?
Mike van DuijnDon't know for sure if this is your problem but we had the same issue
when we were trying to install RS on a couple development laptops.
Turned out, we *thought* we were running SQL Server developer on those
laptops. We were actually running SQL Server Personal. If there's any
disagreement between the versions, it won't show you the server
components.
Confirm your SQL Version and the version of your RS CD. My guess is
that you are trying to install Reporting Services Developer on SQL
Server Standard or something like that.
Hope this helps,
Tim

Does the reporting server have to have SQL installed too?

Say the Reporting server has iis and the db server is on a seperate server
running SQL?You can do this. You need a license (SQL Server license) on the box running
RS but you can have the db used by RS on a different server.
