SSRS Report - How to save report as excel from Subscription on a schedule

Question

Hi,

I have an SSRS report that was getting email out daily, since microsoft stopped TLS1.0 the mails no longer occur. I simply now need to get that report to save in a folder on the C: of the server, but am unable to find where to do it, and in the report server component none of the usual options are there and the developer took a job abroad and is not replying to any comms from our company.
Please could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Answer 1

Your post is a bit confusing.
Sure you can create a report subscription to export a report as Excel file to a file share; so what's the problem?

Hi Olaf -
In the web portal for SSRS there are usually those dropdown options right beside each report from where you can set up a schedule, download and so on - in the instance I am working with these simply are not there, there are only links to get into the reports 'folder' but not one of the links that I can click on have any other options available, nor are they anywhere else on the screen - so I am totally stuck.

Hi @Wes ,
In this case, your TLS/SSL certificate may have expired if your subscription was not delivered correctly.

Are you able to open the web portal now?

If you use IIS Express Development Certificate in Configuration Manager, you need to update the binding TLS/SSL certificate, for more information, please refer to: Configure TLS connections on a native mode report server.

If you need to create a new subscription, please refer to: Create and Manage Subscriptions for Native Mode Report Servers.

If I Misunderstand what you mean, please feel free to correct me.
Best Regards,
Joy
