I am working on a DevOps deployment tool to automate all DB infrastructure related deployments (in PowerShell). It has a SSRS side to it besides other components. i.e., SSRS reports have to be deployed.
The functions at a high level
In this post, I want to publish a few functions that I created around SSRS. They are related to and depend on each other.
- Get-SSRS – Given the SSRS URI returns the WSDL endpoint
- Get-SSRSReport – Returns one or more reports based on inputs
- Get-SSRSSharedDataSource – Returns one or more shared data sources based on inputs
- Get-SSRSReportDataSource – Returns the data source information on a report by report basis based on inputs
- Set-SSRSReportDataSource – Sets the data source of a report to the given data source.
- Install-SSRS – Deploys an SSRS report to a specific folder and also optionally sets the datasource for the deployed report
My reference
A huge thank you goes to Ivan Josipovic from whose posts and functions I created my own. Here are the links I referenced:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9178685/change-datasource-of-ssrs-report-with-powershell
- http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-SSRS-Data-Source-19360302
- http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Set-SSRS-Data-Source-3b074747
The functions:
As I mentioned, the functions are related to each other. So, you would have to dot-source all of them even if you wanted the functionality in just one function.
In know that they very light on explanation but I will try to circle around and add descriptions. For now, I think you would appreciate the code being available even without the explanation.
Check out the usage examples at the top of each function for reference on how to use the functions.
CAUTION: WordPress messes-up PowerShell block comments. So, please fix the comment at the top of each script.

It took me a while to figure out the nuances and get this working exactly the way I want and I hope that it would save you a ton of time too. Please post your comments and also corrections if you make changes. Perhaps GitHub would be a better place for this code!
SQL Jana 
Hello Jana. Great Scripts and very helpful. I love your blog post as they are really time saver for most of the tasks with great in depth insights. I have one scenario to see if using above SSRS can be achieved as i am novice to SSRS:
I need to update in data source with credentials to connect using windows authentication option in SSRS2016. There is no shared data source. So the pain is going to each report and update the credentials within data source by selecting the option for windows button. How can this be achieved using your scripts if i have 25 reports deployed where doing this manual work is pain?
Hi Rohan,
Thanks for you kind words.
Yes, the examples show in this post are for updating shared data sources.
If you want to update the report itself, you can do it before you deploy the .rdl file. The .rdl file is simply an xml formatted file. You could locate data sources which will be in the format:
DataSourceReference
None
054cf0n7-b137-47fc-a724-691ffe1aeb05
Then, you can simply replace as necessary and upload them. You would do a simple text replace or use the XML DOM object to manipulate XML using PowerShell.
Please test the solution as I have not done this as we only use shared data sources and only am proposing it as an idea.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
This is brilliant, thank you so much for sharing
