SQL Server Reporting Services Reports in the PowerPivot Gallery
Project Gemini, SQL Reporting Services 2 Comments »Yes, it is totally possible to publish a SSRS report into your PowerPivot Gallery – In fact, the gallery invites you to do so with the “New Report Builder Report” item in the PowerPivot gallery’s silverlight application.
But as my buddy George Orwell might say, “All reports are equal, but some reports are more equal than others.”
Essentially, you’re not going to get a snapshot generated for your SSRS reports stored here.
The status message displayed can be somewhat confusing, too: “Snapshots were disabled to protect sensitive content” is dead on the money, but infers there might be a way to enable this sensitive content. Don’t waste your time looking for the magic property to enable dynamic SSRS snapshots, however. No such animal.
The “Snapshots were disabled” message is used in a number of situations where connections in a xlsx published to the gallery aren’t quite right, and I guess we chose to lump the SSRS scenario in with them.
