Troubleshooting Tools (Reporting Services)

This topic describes the tools available to troubleshoot SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. These tools can be divided into two areas: tools available for troubleshooting the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Server API, HTTP.sys, and tools available for troubleshooting Reporting Services. You might need to use these tools when you need more information about reserved Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for the Reporting Server or when you don't see values that you expect or understand in the Reporting Services Configuration tool.

Note

Beginning with SQL Server 2008, you might need to troubleshoot problems with HTTP.sys, because Reporting Services uses HTTP.sys to reserve URLs. Previous versions of Reporting Services used Internet Information Services (IIS) to do this. For more information about HTTP.sys, see HTTP Server API on MSDN.
