## Specifying the SSRS URL The VSA requires a URL to connect to SQL Server Reporting Services. The SSRS may installed locally or remotely from the Kaseya Server. This topic provides guidance on how to determine what this URL should be, using settings in three different software packages. When all three packages are integrated successfully, these settings should be consistent with each another. Report Services Configuration IIS The VSA > System > Configure page, once the VSA is installed Format of the SSRS URL The URL used by the VSA to connect to Reporting Services has the following format: `http://<SSRS-system-name>/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx` You can substitute `localhost` for `<SSRS-system-name>` in the format above if you are logging on locally to the SQL Server. If you are not using the default instance name of `MSSQLServer`, you'll need to include the instance name, formatted as `$InstanceName`.`` For example: `http://localhost/<SSRS-system-name$InstanceName>/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx` For example, if your SSRS SQL Server 2008 name is `sv-star-w16`, and it is using the default instance name of `MSSQLServer`, then the URL would be: `http://sv-star-w16/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx` Verifying the SSRS URL using a Web Browser If the format discussion above was enough for you to specify what the SSRS URL should be, you can test the URL immediately using your favorite web browser. If the connection is successful it shows you a Report Server confirmation page, similar to the image below. Note: If logging in remotely, you may have to provide authentication. Enter just the first part of the URL, without the `ReportService2005.asmx` filename. If logged on locally, enter the following: `http://localhost/ReportServer` If logged on remotely, enter the SSRS system name instead of `localhost`. For example: `http://sv-star-w16/ReportServer` The image belows shows what you an example before the VSA has been installed. Identifying a SSRS 2008 URL If browser testing of the URL described above failed, check the following settings. Locate and open Reporting Services Configuration Manager. Connect to your SSRS server and instance. Select the Web Service URL menu option. Then click the Report Server Web Service URLs link. If you are viewing this page after the VSA was installed on the same system as Report Server, you will notice the default port 80 for SSRS was changed to 18086 during System Check. The Report Server confirmation page displays. Specifying the SSRS URL within the VSA Once the VSA is installed you can always specify a different SSRS URL from within the VSA using the System > Configure page. Click the Change URL button to: Display or change the URL the VSA uses to connect to the SSRS. Set a credential used to run reports. Set the report logo URL.
