Yes, I am trying to create a tool that works like report builder and
processes report models, but instead of rendering reports, I just want to get
the query result set back from the model, then do some work with the result
set such as export or import into another data source.
I have a need to get data to "power users" that know how to work with data,
but not relational. I have to build the models for other users anyway, now I
want to reuse those models uses other than reporting.
I have found some dll's that seem to work with reporting services and
models, but can't figure out how to get a model out of ssrs, select entities,
and send for query execution.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.SemanticQueryEngine
Microsoft.ReportingServices.SemanticQueryDesign
Thank You
