CRM 2011 Report importation in batch

Question

I have a CRM 3.0 that I migrated to CRM 2011. Now, I want to import all the reports from CRM 3.0 to CRM 2011.

I know I can download the report as a RDL file and create a new report from existing file in CRM 2011. The problem with this solution is that I can do this one by one.

I would like to know if there is a way to do this in batch? If not, is it possible to create a new report using the SDK and the RDL file? If so, I will code an app to achieve this..

Answer 1

You can use SDK to create reports. Have a look at sample code on Technet. It creates new report record and publishes it for use. All entities involved in report storage are described here.

In CRM 2011 you can use DownloadReportDefinitionRequest to get actual rdl file - maybe it is also available in 3.0, so you can fully automate transfer.
