Examples

 

 

Upload all items from the folder c:\ssrsDeploy to the report server folder \ssrstest

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy

 

 

 

Note the above example will not overwrite existing items. Use /O for overwrite

Upload all items from the folder c:\ssrsDeploy to the report server folder \ssrstst

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o

 

 

 

 

Before overwriting you can backup existing items.

 

Upload all items from the folder c:\ssrsDeploy to the report server folder \ssrstst

backup existing items before overwriting on the report server use /b:<folder on PC>

 

Note if the backup item already exists it will not be overwritten but a new file created on the PC

eg sales.rdl file exists in the backup folder.

 

If this command is rerun there will be another file called sales-1.rdl.

Rerun again sales-2.rdl and so on

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o /b:c:\backup

 

 

 

 

If you want to overwrite the backup item and not create multiple backup copies

used the command /bo:  (backup overwrite) not /b:

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o /bo:c:\backup

 

 

 

If you want to upload all items in the folder and sub folders use /s

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /s

 

 

 

Recommended option to deploy and backup existing items use /s and /bf:

 

 createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o /bf:c:\backup /s

 

 

 

 

Date time can also be added to the backup folder name

 

there are 2 options

 

1. foldername\<date>  (use /bfd = backup folder date)

 

         createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o /bfd:c:\backup /s

 

 

 

2. <date>\foldername  (use /bdf = backup date folder)

 

         createall /f:\ssrstest c:\ssrsDeploy /o /bdf:c:\backup /s
