My job includes lots of work with MicroSoft Reporting Services, and ive currently run into a hell of an issue. So here’s the process :

  1. Define a report
  2. Hand it to me
  3. Exchange Questions
  4. Create Report
  5. Deploy to Dev and confirm contents
  6. Move to QA and confirm no mishaps { I am now hands off =) }
  7. Move to Production
  8. Users now view report, bookmark and create email subscriptions
  9. Emailed subscriptions are sent out containing either…
    • Link to the document on the server
    • Embedded files with the information
  10. The link allows the user to go straight to their subscribed report

So here is the issue - When a report subscription is submitted that has all of a category selected the report doesn’t want to load. Unfortunately… and go figure this… we dont log MSRS errors =( I am currently in research mode trying to figure this out, but i don’t find anything on the interwebs saying it works any other way.

We’ll see though.

Directly to MSVS, no changes at all to the interface. Heh. Who would have known that MSVS was actually directing Business Intelligence? Certainly not me.
