Saving as RDL

06-30-2009, 10:54 AM

I'd like to try storing a DD Reports RDLX file in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005, to see if we can preview it using SSRS. I know that we should not use any of the DD extensions to RDL.

But how do you get an RDL file? Is it just a matter of renaming the RDLX file that DD saves in?

Thanks...

Hello,

Reports generated by Data Dynamics Reports are based on RDL specifications, but we added some new features that are not supported by Reporting Services:

DataDynamics Report Enhancement: http://www.datadynamics.com/Products/ProductFeatures.aspx?Product=DDRPT&Topic=Enhancements%20from%20RDL

So most of the typical reports that don't use those features can be opened and previewed in Reporting Services by renaming the extension to RDL.

Thanks,
Gaurav
