I have created a mobile report with a dataset from Server A (dev). I know want to move that report to Server B (prod). Is there a way to do this? When I open the report in Report Publisher and do Save As -> Server I am unable to select a different server.
This seems like a bit of an oversight with SSRS Mobile reports. In order to change the dataset from a prod server to a dev server; I have found it easier to upload the datasets to the production server using the same folder structure as the dev server. The mobile report can then be uploaded and it will pick up the newly uploaded dataset.
After this you are free to move the datasets around without causing issues with the reports.
An easy workaround, but quite cumbersome to do in bulk
This might be a little late but have you considered trying migrating Mobile Reports using GitHub project called ReportingServicesTools? Basically the project is a collection of PowerShell commands, which lets you download content from Server A and then upload it to Server B. You can download the ReportingServicesTools module from PowerShell Gallery.
I wrote a blog post about how to do this here along with other things.
# downloads MyMobileReport from server A to Downloads folder
Out-RsRestCatalogItem -ReportPortalUri http://serverA/reports -RestApiVersion v1.0 -RsItem "/MyMobileReport" -Destination C:\Users\admin\Downloads -Verbose
# uploads MyMobileReport from Downloads folder to server B
Write-RsRestCatalogItem -ReportPortalUri http://serverB/reports -RestApiVersion v1.0 -Path C:\Users\admin\Downloads\MyMobileReport.rsmobile -RsFolder "/"

I'm playing around with Azure Static Web Apps and have built a simple Blazor App which I've deployed. I added a Contacts page with an image that appears when built and running in Visual Studio but the image is missing when the app is is deployed via a GitHub Workflow Action. I've checked the file is present in the GitHub repo. I'm just using the free version of Azure static web apps for testing and believe the files are deployed to blob storage.
I can see two similar related questions to my problem but neither of them provide a solution to my issue
Is there a way to view files in Azure Static Web App?
Azure static web apps not loading page resources correctly. css or javascript files
As per the link to the first question above, is there a way to see the files deployed to check if the file is actually there? Everything I'm seeing tells me it's not! - the image is not showing and copying the link to a new window gives me the usual file not found. Link looks absolutely spot on - https://madeupbit.azurestaticapps.net/FundXWebTelNo1.png. I deliberately moved the file out of a separate images directory into the root to eliminate any of the possible issues mentioned in the second question linked above.
And I guess the second question is if it's not there, how do I get it there seeing the automated GitHub Workflow Action ain't doing it. Of course there may be something else going on so any suggestions welcome!
I would be most grateful if anyone could help me solve this problem with ClickOnce Web deployment.
I have read all the threads on this subject and I have also read through all the Microsoft documentation on the subject. They seem to say a lot without actually being direct or providing helpful examples. However, perhaps I am wrong and I have not looked in the right places.
I have already used ClickOnce successfully to deploy an application on the local area network.
It works well and really isn't that complicated. However, my goal is to deploy this application to customers, who are not connected to my local network.
I have set up a web site (www.mydomain.co.za), which I can access directly or via the ftp protocol.
I have created a sub directory off the root where I intend to publish the files created by the publish function. The publish function of the application requires a Publishing Folder Location and a Installation Folder URL I don't really understand the functional difference between these two locations. If I set the Publishing Location to ftp://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName and the Installation Folder URL to http://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName, then the publish process succeeds and when I check on the web server, the files have been published successfully it would seem. A further Application Files/MyProductName subdiectory with the version number information appended was created where all the output was placed.
My next step is to then grab the URL of the setup.exe file and to run it from a browser. This downloads the setup.exe file to my downloads folder which I then try to run but I get an error
Deployment and application do not have matching security zones.>
I have seen this come up in other threads but These threads don't seem to relate directly to what I am trying to do. These threads make mention of using Internet Explorer to achieve some degree of success, but all the browser did was to download the file.
I have also noted with interest that a web page is created in the root with a button that prompts the user to install the application. This does not work either.
Does anyone know of an article that I can read on this subject which is more helpful or if anyone can offer more insights into this I would be very grateful.
I have a reasonably complex Access 2013 web app which is now in production on hosted O365 Sharepoint. I would like to take a backup (package snapshot) into a test environment, and then migrate this to production once development is complete (I certainly don't want to do development on the production system!). The problem is that the snapshot also backs up all data so uploading the new package over the top of the existing package in the sharepoint app repository reverts the data to the time of snapshot as well. Alternatively, rolling back to the original snapshot if there are issues would lose all data after the new package was applied.
I can easily get a second version of the app going by saving as a new application etc but this creates a new product ID etc in the app store. We also use a Access 2013 desktop accdb frontend to hook directly into the Azure SQL database to do all the stuff that the web app can't provide (formatted reports etc) so I cant just create a new app every time without dealing with all of the credential and database renaming issues.
So my question is, does anybody know how to safely operate a test environment for Access 2013 web app development? One needs to be able to apply an updated version, or rollback to the old one if there are problems without rolling back the data. With the desktop client I can just save a new copy of the accdb file every time obviously. I dont mind creating a new instance or link to the app on sharepoint each time, however this obviously generates a totally new database (server name, db location, login id's etc) as well. You would hope there is a way to upload and replace your app without touching the data, else how else can you develop without working directly in production?
Any answers would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Feel free to recommend a better title or changes to my explanation below!
I am using Windows Azure Websites (for the first time) and have connected it to a solution in Visual Studio Online (also my first time). I was also able to connect to Visual Studio Online, create a project, throw up a master page and web form connected to a master page and my Azure website updated itself. Great!
My Issue
If I add another project to the solution it seems that this new project overwrites the files in the first one. I can't figure out how to set this up so:
Project 1 -> deploy to wwwroot (happens by default great!)
Project 2 -> deploy to wwwroot/sub/directory/ (doesn't seem to work)
Could somebody explain how to configure project 2 so that when the solution auto deploys to an Azure Website that it goes to a specific location?
Go to the Configure tab for the site in Azure portal.
Scroll all the way to the bottom then add a new application where ever you want like Project2 below.
Basically the 'Project2' part is the URL after the root '/' and the 'site\wwwroot\Project2' is where the actual folder should live under the site root
Download the publishing profile and import it in Visual Studio, then add the application name after your site name like below. Also remember to update the destination URL as well
hope that helps
I want to create an automated performance metric gathering tool, to get various metrics for page load times for a flash based web application. I am doing the web automation using a batch script, and then I want to collect the various metrics using browsermob-proxy (http://opensource.webmetrics.com/browsermob-proxy/), it exports the metrics in a HAR file. I've never done this before so I was wondering if this approach is okay? What are the steps to using browswermob-proxy for windows (firefox). There is no information about windows in the documentation, just linux. I know I run the proxy from the /bin directory, then what do I need to do?
I had downloaded the copy from the browsermob zip from here..http://opensource.webmetrics.com/browsermob-proxy/ Unzip and refer the readme.md
The readme file in the browsemob zip, specifies the instructions to start the proxy server. Once the server is started, you would need to specify the server port and machine ip in your firefox proxy settings (from options->advanced->network>settings. Then trigger your urls on this browser.
