You can upload your existing Data Dynamics Reports RDLX files to take advantage of the ActiveReports Server scheduling, security, and scalability features.

Caution: In order to run RDLX reports in ActiveReports Server, the server must have access to the data source. Shared data sources are not supported for Data Dynamics Reports in ActiveReports Server.

To upload Data Dynamics Reports RDLX files

Data Dynamics Reports appear in the list of available reports in the Report Portal as well as in the Reports list in the Administrator Dashboard. In the Report Portal, they have only Preview and Delete buttons, with the Design button omitted.

  1. From the Administrator Dashboard, select the Reports page.
  2. Above the list of reports, click the Upload report button.
  3. In the Upload an existing report dialog that appears, click the special area and navigate to the RDLX file that you want to distribute via ActiveReports Server, select it, and click Open.
  4. In the Upload an existing report dialog, click Upload to add the report to the Reports list in both the Administrator Dashboard and the Report Portal.

Note: Data Dynamics Reports cannot be edited in the ActiveReports Server designer. To edit such reports, please use Data Dynamics Reports in Visual Studio or in an End User Designer application created with Data Dynamics Reports.

To schedule Data Dynamics Reports

As with any report, you can schedule RDLX reports to run at certain times, and have them automatically sent to stakeholders.
