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

createRes /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

createRes /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.jpg file exists in the backup folder.

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

Rerun again sales-2.jpg and so on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

createRes /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)

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

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

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