Answer 1

SSRS has 2 ways to programmatically access reports: URL Access and Web Service. It appears you're going to the URL Access route. SSRS also has 2 different endpoints it listens on. The Reports endpoint is for the Report Manager UI. The ReportServer endpoint is for programmatically generating the report.

If you want to link to the UI with the parameters filled out then the format is this: http://<serverurl>/ReportServer?/<reportpath>&<param>=<value>

So if your SSRS server is on myreportserver.mycompany.com and the report you want to render is MyReport under the folder MyReports and you have a parameter called PARAM_PERSPECTIVE set to ALL then it would be http://myreportserver.mycompany.com/ReportServer?/MyReports/MyReport&PARAM_PERSPECTIVE=ALL.

Note that if you're using named instances for SSRS then that gets appended to the ReportServer value. For example if your SSRS instance is called Test then the updated URL would be .../ReportServer_Test?.

Hi @Eshwar

The fomat is like this：http://<serverurl>/ReportServer?/<reportpath>&<param>=<value>

I think you probably need to add “？” after the ‘’ReportURL“
