Adding a custom rendering extension to SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint 2010 integrated mode

Question

We are attempting to add OfficeWriter report rendering extensions for SSRS 2012 in SharePoint (2010) integrated mode through powershell. The documentation for “New-SPRSExtension” is rather
sparse and we have not found any clear examples on the internet. With SSRS 2012 in native mode, we make the following two changes to the config files:
We add the following report rendering extension declaration to
RSReportServer.config:
<Configuration>
    <Extensions>
        <Render>
            <Extension Name="XLTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.ExcelTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
            <Extension Name="WordTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.WordTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
        </Render>
    </Extensions>
</Configuration>
We add the following security trust codegroup to
RSSvrPolicy.config:
<configuration>
    <mscorlib>
        <security>
            <policy>
                <PolicyLevel version="1">
              <CodeGroup version="1" PermissionSetName="Nothing">
                <CodeGroup
                            version="*"
                            PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
                            Name="SoftArtisans_OfficeWriter_Strong_Name"
                            Description="This
code group grants SoftArtisans OfficeWriter code full trust.">
                          <IMembershipCondition
                            class="StrongNameMembershipCondition"
                            version="*"
                            PublicKeyBlob="00240000048000009400000006020000002400005253413100040000010001004779CB207F11
                            5E86EF9DD3233F9F130F8891911345176650F72330F84CA3F54C96DEB08439680660F02872EEF5DA3955
                            A14C63F96E57DFB71B1535280C37DA2CB5BA37D78A9882414DB11F67FD66DEBC4AD93DD34F4A587D34D
                            B4D23D9C6AF83431D88A7EF42BB01082913F3560DCB50129C5BBA7ECA0DE8BC286DA74F58FADE"/>
              </CodeGroup>
          </CodeGroup>
       </PolicyLevel>
    </policy>
   </security>
  </mscorlib>
</configuration>
What would be the equivalent syntax for “New-SPRSExtension” to do the above for SSRS 2012 in SharePoint (2010) integrated mode?

Hi Alison,
Unlike the deployment of other custom extensions such as custom delivery extension and data processing extension, it is not necessary to add a code group for the custom assembly that grants FullTrust permission for the extension during the deployment of
custom rendering extension. If you have copy the custom assembly to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.<InstanceName>\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Bin folder, and modify the RSreportserver.config file to add the extention entry properly,
please open the SSRS Service Application created on the SharePoint and verify that your extension is included in the list of available export types for a report.
