<\/a>This tutorial explains how to call SSRS reports from SSIS<\/strong>, export them to files (PDF, Excel, Word, HTML, and more), email them as attachments or as HTML in the message body<\/strong>, pass dynamic parameters<\/strong>, and automate delivery without relying only on fixed SSRS subscriptions. You will use the ZappySys Reporting Services Task<\/strong> (SSRS Report Generator) from SSIS PowerPack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Prerequisites<\/span><\/h2>\r\nBefore we perform the steps listed in this article, you will need to make sure the following prerequisites are met:\r\n\r\n \t- SSIS<\/abbr> designer installed.\u00a0Sometimes it is referred to as BIDS<\/abbr> or SSDT<\/abbr> (download it from the Microsoft site<\/a>).<\/li>\r\n \t
- Basic knowledge of SSIS package\u00a0development using\u00a0Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services<\/em>.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Make sure\u00a0ZappySys SSIS PowerPack<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is installed (download it<\/a>, if you haven't already).<\/li>\r\n \t
- (Optional step<\/em>).<\/em>\u00a0Read this article<\/a>, if you are planning to deploy packages to a server and schedule their execution later.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol><\/div>\n
Also, make sure to have an SSRS report deployed. For more information about creating reports and deploying, refer to these links:<\/p>\n

Why Automate SSRS Reports from SSIS?<\/h2>\n
SSRS subscriptions are useful for fixed schedules, but they can be limiting when you need event-driven report delivery. For example, you may want to send a batch of reports after an ETL load, data validation, billing process, or other workflow is finished. Standard SSRS subscriptions usually rely on hardcoded schedules and predefined parameters, so they are not always easy to invoke dynamically from a process or adjust at runtime. ZappySys SSRS Reporting Services Task helps solve this by letting SSIS control when reports run, which parameters are used, where files are saved, and how reports are emailed.<\/p>\n
Use SSIS for SSRS automation when reports must run after a process finishes, when report parameters must be supplied dynamically, or when you need more control than a standard SSRS subscription provides.<\/div><\/div>\nWhat You Will Learn<\/h2>\n\n- How to call and export SSRS reports from an SSIS package.<\/li>\n

- How to send SSRS reports by email as attachments.<\/li>\n
