Looking for V10 SSRS Datasource

Mr. Jim: Thanks for the Embedded Education suggestion.


I don't believe we have that license - but I'll bet I could sign up for the classes on that.


Do you think they have V10?


I already have the V9 SSRS and have done a number of reports in 9.xx. 


V10 appears to be a new animal - new rules.


Thanks for the suggestion,


DaveO

I would like to modify an existing V10 SSRS report (SalesOrderAcknowledgement).  I installed the 2012 "Data Tools" and I open the SOForm - however when I try to update the Data Sources I don't see where the report data exists.


In version 9 SSRS the datasource was at http://(server)/EpiSSRSPortal/DataSource/(company)/(epicor_userid)/(reportname).xml .  I tried looking for that info in V10 however I have not found it.


If I want to update and existing SSRS in V10 SSRS how can I do that?


I see a reference to a "SharedReportDataSource.rds" however I could not find that type of file on my server (except in the SSRS folder).


If anyone could offer some help here I would certainly appreciate it.


Thanks,

The shared datasource is in one of the folders called Shared DS but it just point to the Epicor Report DB where you'll find a series for Tables_Guid which you then need to use

Mr. Jose: Thank you for the reply. 


I went into the web SSRS and found the "SharedReportDataSource".


When I open the properties - you are right it appears to be pointing to my report server. i.e.


 Data Source=ERMC-SQL1;Initial Catalog=ERP10_Reports;MultipleActiveResultSets=True


That at least points me to the server and DB - however any clue what table(s) to look for?


I wonder if this Is this the proper way to develop SSRS in Epicor?  Or is there a shortcut i.e. print as XML and use that as a datasource?


Any clues greatly appreciated.

This is the proper way,Â
When you print a report say ARForm epicor takes all the records you select and creates temporary tables in that DB such as InvcHead_Guid, InvcDtl_Guid etc... the report then uses the shared datasource plys the GUID (send by Epicor) to query those tables, so an internal query might look like this

SELECT Company, InvoiceNum FROM InvcHead_@TableGuidÂ


where @Table guid is a param of the report. IF you want to add data to your report you will have to modify the RDD as you did before, this will add fields to Table_Guid which you'd then have to add to ssrs by modying the Select statement to include your new fields.

If you have a license for Embedded Education there is a SSRS training document that goes step by step on how to modify an existing report.  In early versions of E10 the manual wasn't there so you may need to go to support to get a copy.
