Hi guys,
i am currently working on a solution that calls reports running in a SharePoint-Integrated SSRS from an external application
therefore i built a HTML form where users can select some parameters and then pass them to the SSRS report
to do this i am using the RSViewerPage.aspx and the relative path the the report (similar as if you would click on the report in MOSS)
http://localhost/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl=/test.rdl
the problem is, that some of these selections may be very big and exceed Internet Explorers URL length limit of 4000 (or 2000) characters
so i switched the HTML form's method to POST instead of GET so the parameters do not get passed in the URL to avoid the url length limit
i know that, if i am using ReportViewer, i have to prefix the parameters with "rp:"
this also works fine when using GET
unfortunatelly it does not work when using POST
i also tried other or no prefix but none of them seemed to work
here is a simplified example of my HTML form:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server" target="_blank" method="post" action="http://localhost/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl=/test.rdl">
<input type="text" style="width: 250pt;" name="rp:Zeit" value="[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]"/>
<input type ="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
as i said, a call like below works just fine
http://localhost/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl=/test.rdl&rp:Zeit=[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar
Year].%26[2006]
does RSViewer.aspx even support parameters being passed using POST?
if yes, what has to be considered?
any help is kindly appreciated
kind regards,
gerhard
