    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.

    As far as I know there is no easy way to deploy it to a customer's server. You could simply redeploy a whole new SSRS database with your updated reports in it. You can always use the SSRS Web Services API and write you own updater program that deploys the files.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Hi,

    I too have a similar doubt. I was searching the entire Server to find out where the RDL files are deployed. Thanks for this post.

    I need to understand one thing. I have developed some RDL reports using Business Development studio and have deployed it to our test server by setting the "targetServerURL" property in the "Report Properties".

    The reports are working fine. Can someone tell me how to deploy it to the client server, which is not on our network. Hence I obviously cannot use Business Development studio.

    Is there any other way

    Thanks,

    JJ
