15.4. Report Manager

In the previous section, we learned how to create wonderful reports from our relational, OLAP, and data mining data. Creating the report, however, is only half the battle. We need to place these reports where they can be put to use and, once they are there, we need to manage them.

First, we need to know how to deploy our report to the Report Server. This can be done from the Business Intelligence Development Studio or from Visual Studio 2005. It can also be done from the Report Manager web application.
