Upload and download multiple files in SSRS

Question

Any ideas how to upload and download folder with multiple reports in SSRS 2012?

It's very dull to upload files one by one!

Unfortunately, Report Manager does not have a bulk upload/download feature , as you said you can only download/upload a report one by one.

Meanwhile, you can use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for visual Studio for creating and managing Reporting Services reports solutions and projects.

SQL Server Data Tools provides the Report Designer authoring environment. In Report Designer, you can open, modify, preview, save, and deploy report definitions, shared data sources, shared datasets, and report parts.

Once you create a new solution you can add all current reports and their shared data sources, shared datasets and configure the Target report server URL and Target Server Version (in your case it's SQL Server 2012 version) to specify the location and version of the report server, the folders on the report server.

Now , you don't need to download reports (All reports in your solution) and you can deploy (bulk upload) all the reports or a specific report to report server easily.

To download SQL Server Data Tools check Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013
