I've a question regarding SSRS 2005.

Is there an efficient scripting method to update the connection string for ALL reports that reside on a reporting/web server? "(automating the process, rather than having to change the data source for each individual report that resides on that server)".

All suggestions are highly appreciated .


Thanks,

I worked in a reporting team few years back where we had to do a similar thing. We had a .NET guy write code to query the reporting service (its web service right) and open up the rdl files and change the data source.

I dont know what exactly he did, just an over view. If you google you can find articles that show how to query the reporting service. Perhaps that might help.
