Re: Get report from url returned by getReportOutputUrl

How do you read the file into a HTTP response stream? What do you use
in C#? If possible could you paste you code here and i will try
convert to PHP.

Below is a VERY stripped down version of how to get the Report back
as a zipped XML file.

private static void ProcessReport( int reportId,
BasicReportServiceService reportService )
{
FileOutputFormat fileOutputFormat = new FileOutputFormat
();
fileOutputFormat.fileOutputType = FileOutputType.XML;
fileOutputFormat.fileOutputTypeSpecified = true;
fileOutputFormat.zipped = true;
fileOutputFormat.zippedSpecified = true;

//get the secure URL of the report
string reportUrl = reportService.getReportOutputUrl( reportId,
fileOutputFormat );

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(
reportUrl );

using ( HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)
webRequest.GetResponse() )
{
using ( ZipInputStream zipStream = new ZipInputStream(
webResponse.GetResponseStream() ) )
{
ZipEntry zipFile = zipStream.GetNextEntry();

/* Read from zip file here */
}
}
}

Hi there,
 
Your making things more difficult than they have to be. You dont have to request the report in zip format, you can get it as raw XML data. My client is written in VB, but im sure this will help.
 
Before you request the report you create a fileformat object:
 
Dim fileoutputformat As New BasicReportService.FileOutputFormat
fileoutputformat.fileOutputType = BasicReportService.FileOutputType.XML
fileoutputformat.fileOutputTypeSpecified = True (Here you are saying no zip please just XML)
fileoutputformat.zippedSpecified = False
 
Now when you check ont he status of the report you pass it in as follows:
 
downloadurl = reportobject.getReportOutputUrl(report.reportID, fileoutputformat) (Request your report in XML, no zip etc)
 
Hope that helps, I'll let you "php-ize" the above ;)
