Hi,
I am unable to export reports in any format from Report Manager (SSRS 2008 R2). That includes Word, Excel, PDF, and all of the other types available. Whenever I try to export a report, I get the following message:
"Unable to download. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
I welcome any useful information. Thanks in advance.
Mike M.
Can you tell how you configured that RS?
Are you referring to the Reporting Services Configuration Manager?
Correct. Did you have any problem to open RS web console?
If you are refering to the Web Service URL section, I did not have any problems setting it up. It works correctly.
But error says unable to open site.
Please define a "RS Web Console". Perhaps I am not familiar with that term.
That's the url of RS manager, you can find it in RS configuration manager.
The Report Manager URL that I have is "https:// <severname>:443/Reports". When I click that URL, the Report Manager is launched and is available for use. I assume this is what you meant.
So your RS is working. How did you deploy reports?
I selected the data source, datasets, and reports then deployed them from the context menu. Next, these items were uploaded via the toolbar in Report Manager. When I opened up a report, I tried to export this report into one of the seven available formats from the "Export" button drop-down list on the toolbar (fourth control from the right). At this point I received an error message that said, "Unable to download. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
Tried those steps on my RS but can't reproduce the error. What kind of permission you have in your RS?
What permissions are you referring to? Could you please give me an example?
RS has system roles like administrator and user, other roles like content manager, publisher, report builder and browser. Each role has different permissions.
If you are referring to "site settings" in Report Manager, I am the System Administrator.
