Modifying WebRequest.ReportName From Report Server

edited August 2005 in Server
Hello

When my webtier talks to my report server I just set the webtier's report
name to Dummy, where dummy is a simple report that is never used.

My server is responsible for getting the name of the report which it does
through a complex lookup process using a report id that is given to it by
the web tier.

The server obtains the correct reportname, is there anyway that I can get
this reportname back to the webtier?

Cheers

Paul

    I do not understand your setup. The idea behind the report server is that
    there are one or more report volumes that manage the directory of available
    reports. These reports are displayed by the report explorer. Are you using
    the report explorer? What type of report volume components are you using?

    Hi Nard

    I am not using the report explorer

    I am using the file volume component

    Reports are accessed on our website through specific options and so I have
    no need for the report explorer, using the report explorer with my setup
    would be very complex, as all reports need different options


    Cheers

    The ReportVolume should determine what reports are available (i.e. the
    report names). Each report can have parameters associated with it (i.e
    Report.Parameters[] ).

    You can call TrsWebTier.GetReportParameters to retrieve the report
    parameters from the server. This will fire the
    ReportVolume.OnGetReportParameters event on the server side.
