Getting started

Choose source

  • Choose the source type: either an SSRS Report Server or an SRMW file.
  • Enter the Report Server URI (e.g., http://localhost/ReportServer).
  • Select the authentication method:
    • Use Current Domain Credentials
    • Use Specified Domain Credentials (provide domain\username and password)

Click Next to proceed.

Choose Target

  • Choose the target type: another SSRS Report Server or SRMW file.
  • Enter the target server URI.
  • Provide authentication details as needed.

Click Next to continue.

Select SSRS Items to Migrate

  • Browse and select specific SSRS objects (folders, reports, datasets, data sources).
  • The tool displays a tree view of your SSRS folder hierarchy.
  • You can preview object counts by type on the right panel.
  • Optionally, check “Migrate standard subscriptions” to include subscriptions.

⚠️ Important Limitation:
Stored credentials from data sources, datasets, and reports are not migrated by this wizard.
If these credentials are missing, standard subscriptions will fail to migrate.
Recommendation: First complete the SSRS item migration. Then, manually set credentials on the target server. After credentials are set, rerun the wizard to migrate subscriptions successfully.

Click Next once you’ve selected the required items.

Review and Confirm

  • Review the source and target server details.
  • A detailed list of items to be updated will be shown.
  • The summary includes folder and item-level actions.

Click Finish to start the migration process.

Migration Summary

  • View a detailed log of all migrated items.
  • Warnings about existing folders or skipped operations will be shown.
  • Click Report to view a full migration log or Close to exit the wizard.

Limitations

  • 🔒 Stored Credentials are not transferred. Credentials for data sources, reports, and datasets must be manually re-entered on the target.
  • 📬 Standard Subscription Migration depends on valid credentials. If credentials are missing, subscription migration will fail silently or partially.
  • ✅ Recommended Workflow:
    1. Migrate SSRS items (folders, reports, datasets, data sources) first.
    2. Manually set credentials on the target SSRS.
    3. Rerun the wizard with only “Migrate standard subscriptions” enabled.
