Report Subscriptions <-> Scheduled Reports

This question is in regards to using the ReportingServices2005 WebService classes with C# .net 2.0. What I am having trouble with is how to relate a schedule to a subscription.

The piece of functionality that I am trying to duplicate is adding a report's subscription to a schedule (on the Subscription:{report_name} page's subscription processing options under the asp.net "Reports" app).

How can I programmatically set a report's subscription's "subscription processing options" to use one of my existing Schedules?

Some things I have tried:

- use ListSchedules to get a list of reports, use ListScheduledReport(scheduleId) to get a list of reports related to a schedule (this is great, it gets me the reports, but I can only add them via the asp.net Report app)

- use ListSubscriptions(Report.Path, null) to get a list of Subscriptions for a given report (this is great, too, but I do not see how to relate a subscription to a schedule).

The Reports app's database has a Schedule_Subscription_Report table, but I do not see any of the Web Services that can access it.

Please help!

Use CreateSubscription SOAP API and existing shared schedule.

If the schedule definition for a TimedSubscription is a shared schedule, you must pass the schedule ID of the shared schedule as the MatchData parameter. The schedule ID is passed as a String, for example, "4608ac1b-fc75-4149-9e15-5a8b5781b843". The schedule ID can be obtained by calling the ListSchedules method.

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.reportingservice2005.createsubscription.aspx

Igor,

Much thanks, that does answer my question.

I read that if the schedule is ad-hoc, that is it is not a shared schedule that the MatchData parameter an xml-string representing a serialized ScheduleDefinition. Is that correct? If so, how does one serialize a ScheduleDefinition object to an xml-string?

Link from my previous reply contains a short version of XML for ScheduleDefinition. But generally you need to use XmlSerializer to convert ScheduleDefinition object into xml. This one looks like a good sample: http://www.odetocode.com/Articles/114.aspx

Report rendered via webservice not executing from cache

I set a report to 'Cache a temporary copy of the report. Expire copy of
the report on a Shared schedule'
I generate the report using the webservice function Render. All the
settings seem to be set properly, the cache options setting (using
GetCacheOptions) returns True, and the ExpirationDateTime is correct.
So how come when the report is run, it brings up a fresh rendition of
the report (according to the Globals!ExecutionTime variable)?
Could it be something I am not setting correctly when I render the
report? The only thing I am sending are the parameters (which by the
way I am forced to get directly from the database, since RS does not
retrieve second or third level parameters)
Please help!Hello Dear Hella
i need a feavour
i am Working on SQL Reporting Services since one month
i have a problem in generating report across the domains
My client database server is not configured to public domain
i am unable to access the report
So i thought of Using Web service to render the report
currently i am using Report viewer Control
You mentioned in your query that You are using web service
so can u help me in this regard
like what is the design to follow
and i need some code
waiting for your reply
have a good day
