Deploying from VB.NET Report Designer to Report Server fails

[Minas Papageorgiou]

I would like to know what protocol / port Report Designer uses when performing the "Deploy " function from the IDE of Report Designer. For some reason it cannot connect with the report server. I can browse the /rs/reportserver directory and can upload the RDL file through the IE.
This is probably some kind of security related issue, but I need to know what to look for...

Thanks

I believe reporting services-type issues should be posted
here; microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs (although
to be fair the newsgroup isn't available via the HTML
viewer).

Having said that, when you 'deploy' an RS report all its
doing is posting XML (ie the RDL) to a web site (in this
case a web service) so the protocol is HTTP and the port
is usually 80. The fact that you can browse to the
directory and upload using the Report Manager suggests to
me that the problem is with your VS config. In the report
project properties check that you've set
the 'TargetServerURL' for the RS web service correctly.

Thank you for your comment. The TargetServerURL is correct. It was working until the headquarters IT changed some kind of security policy, blocking specific ports. I do not know thus which port the Report Server is listening for the RDL files.

Thanks.

The Report Server is a web service so it is listening on port 80. Can you
connect to the URL directly? We should move the discussion over to the
reporting services newsgroup.

What is the message you get in the Report Designer? Are you using HTTP or
HTTPS?

can't deploy from IDE. I can open a browser and upload the RDL through the
web interface from the same machine. I've verified target URL is correct.
I can't find any mesages in the client event log or the server event log
indicating what the problem might be... suggestions?
