Changes to Admin Web.config File

Once the report server is configured, below settings need to be added in the Web.configfile Admin site:

1. Report server connection string. Please find the name“ZNodeReportDB” and add the connection string of report DB in the same.
2. Add the report server URL, Username, and Password in the web.config file as per the above screenshot.
3. Next, mention the name of the report server folder where the reports will reside.The current screen shows there the port structure of the Znode’s QA environment.(You can keep the structure as it is as it will be accessible in your environment only.)

Changes to API Web.config File

In the same manner that we did in Admin’s web.config, we have to add the setting in

API sites web.config file

1. Please add the proper connection string in the web.config file of the API site.
2. Provide the URL, username, domain name, password used for reporting services.
3. Provide ZnodeReportFolderName , Same we have given in the properties of report.
4. Provide the folder names where the reports need to be saved on the reporting server.
5. Similarly, if the DataSet name is changed then that name has to be replaced in the web.config file of the API site. This report data set name should be similar to the dataset name which is available in the library named “Znode.Libraries.Reports → Shared Data Sources” folder
   
   

Note: From version 9.3.1 to version 9.8, we have to use the ‘MvcReportViewer.ReportServerUrl’ key instead of the ‘ReportServerUrl’ key in API web.config file.
