We are trying to build financial reports in AFR. One thing that seems unusual is that AFR doesn’t expose the normal SSRS front-end. It uses some type of additional port number (8000). For example I might connect to a website as:
http://myafr001:8000/Reports/report/AFR/PL
… instead of the normal SSRS front-end…
http://myafr001:80/Reports/report/AFR/PL
If I try to use the normal front-end on port 80- and I get some pretty strange errors (“Session ID in the parameters is not valid. This report can only be viewed with the AFR report viewer application.”) I’m not certain but it seems that the “AFR report viewer application” refers to their port (8000) rather than the normal SSRS front-end (80).
Has anyone made sense of how this is configured? What I’d like to do is render a report from a script at a certain time of day and deliver it to a list of users. But I can’t get beyond the configuration oddities. Another example is that a normal SSRS server exposes a “ReportServer” interface (http://myafr001:80/ReportServer) but the AFR interface does not (http://myafr001:8000/ReportServer is missing).
Any help would be appreciated. Even some confirmation that others are using AFR successfully would be appreciated.
