Managing and Customizing
the Report Server
Reports may be delivered in a variety of ways (not just when a user navigates to a report in real time).
Reports may be automatically rendered to server cache, so they open very quickly and don't burden
data sources. They may be delivered via e-mail and to file shares on a regular schedule. Using data-
driven subscriptions, reports may be “broadcast” to a large audience during off-hours. Each user may
receive a copy of the report rendered in a different format or with data filtered differently. You will learn
to plan for, manage, and configure these features.
Chapter 11 (in Part IV) will guide you through report server administration. You will learn how to opti-
mize, back up, and recover the ReportServer database, Web service, and Windows service. You will learn
to use the management utilities, configuration files, and logs to customize the server environment and to
prevent and diagnose problems.
