Deploy the Clone Report for Later Use
Let's deploy
the report, publishing it to Report Manager along with its data source,
where we will work with it after we examine the process of setting our "global"
Report Execution Timeout value in the next section. First, we need to
assign deployment properties to our project.
1.
From within
the Solution Explorer, right-click the RS015 project we created
earlier (not the RS015.rdl file, but the project folder itself).
2.
Select Properties
from the context menu that appears, as shown in Illustration 15.

Selecting Properties from the Context Menu ...
The Property
Pages dialog opens, defaulted to the General page, for the RS015 project.
3.
Make the settings,
listed in Table 1 below, for General Properties (Deployment):

NOTE: For TargetServerURL, substitute
the appropriate server name for your own Reporting Services environment.
The General
Properties page, Deployment properties, appears, using the settings
on my server as an example, as depicted in Illustration 16.

4.
Click OK to accept
changes and to exit the RS015 Property Pages.
We return to the Report
Designer. Let's publish the clone report.
5.
From within
the Solution Explorer, right-click the RS015 project (not the RS015.rdl
file, but the project folder itself), as before.
6.
Select Deploy
from the context menu that appears, as shown in Illustration 17.
Illustration 17:
Selecting Deploy from the Context Menu ...
Deployment
begins, and completes successfully, as we can note from the Output
window in Report Designer (depicted in Illustration 18).

Deployment Events, as Displayed in the Output Window
NOTE: Any errors in publishing appear
in the Task List window in Report Designer.
We will
verify the successful publication of the report in the next section, where we
move to Report Manager to examine the Report Execution Timeout
setting. We have now established a sample report to revisit, once we have
looked at Report Execution Timeout settings at a more global level.
7.
Select File
--> Save All from the main menu, to protect
our work for a visit later.
8.
Select File
--> Exit to close the Report Designer and
Visual Studio .NET.
