Is there a trick to calling a typical SSRS report from CRM? I have an SSRS report that I need to call from within CRM but the parameters are being ignored. The report is based on another database, not the data in CRM. We have a report development
team that handles all of the reports and they have created a report for CRM to call out to. I read that the CRM report viewer uses a query string prefixed with p: to pass in parameters to an SSRS report. Is that correct?
I have tried it with and without the p: but nothing I do works. The report runs, but the parameters are always ignored.
I found an article that talked about the parameters in SSRS reports are sometimes not typical parameters but filter parameters. That's new to me, but sounds like that might be what I am running into. Is there a difference between parameters
and filters? I've always consider them both as parameters. Do I need to send whatever these filters are differently? Maybe f: or something?
Here's the code I am using to call the SSRS report. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated. I'm out of ideas.
