Site Settings Page (Report Manager)

SQL Server 2008 R2

Use the Site Settings page to change the application title, set server-wide defaults for report history limits and report processing timeout values, manage system-level role assignments, and manage shared schedules. You must have Content Manager and System Administrator permissions to view this page.

Note
If you are running SQL Server Express with Advanced Services, the following features are not supported: report history, report execution, and shared schedules. If you set options related to these features, the options will have no affect. For more information about feature availability, see Reporting Services in SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

Navigation

Use the following procedure to navigate to this location in the user interface (UI).

To open the Site Settings page

Open Report Manager.
At the top of the page, click Site Settings. This opens the General Properties page of the site.

Options

Name

Specify the title to use for this instance of SQL Server Report Manager. By default, the title is "Reporting Services".

Select the default settings for report history

Select a default value for the number of copies of report history to retain. The default value provides an initial setting that establishes report history limits. You can vary these settings at the report level. For more information, see Snapshot Options Properties Page (Report Manager).

If you limit report history later, when the existing report history exceeds the limit you specify, the report server reduces the existing report history to the new limit. The oldest report snapshots are deleted first. If report history is empty or below the limit, new report snapshots are added. When the limit is reached, the oldest snapshot is deleted when a new report snapshot is added.

Report Execution Timeout

Specify whether report processing times out after a certain number of seconds.

This value applies to report processing on a report server. It does not affect data processing on the database server that provides the data for your report.

The report processing timer clock begins when the report is selected and ends when the report opens. When you set this value, specify enough time to complete both data processing and report processing.

Custom Report Builder launch URL

Specify a custom URL when the report server does not use the default Report Builder URL. This setting is optional. If you do not specify a value, the default URL will be used, which launches Report Builder 1.0 as a ClickOnce application. The default URL is http://<computername>/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application.

If you use Report Builder 3.0, specify the URL from which to launch Report Builder. In a native mode installation, the default URL will take the form of http://<computername>/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application. In a SharePoint integrated mode installation, the default URL will take the form of http://<SharePoint_site>/_vti_bin/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application.”
