Deploying/creating linked reports with script or command line

Question

Hi,
Working with SSRS 2012.
I have a couple of report folders with reports in it. Now I want to create linked reports of some of them in an existing reportfolder. I know how to do that manually, but it there a way to do that with for example
RS.exe
(or an other script solution).

Answer 1

I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is, in my environment we don't utilize rs.exe. I can, however, provide example code in PowerShell that i got to work.  It's very basic, but works.
[string]$webServiceUrl = "https://myreportserver.com/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx"
$ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $webServiceUrl -UseDefaultCredential
#File name of new linked item
$itemPath = "LinkedReportTest_JJ"
#Path of where the linked report should be created in
$parent = "/Test"
#Report we are basing our linked report on
$link = "/Test/My_Test_SSRS_Report"
#Create property object
$type = $ssrsProxy.GetType().Namespace
$linkPropertyType = ($type + '.Property')
$linkProperty = New-Object ($linkPropertyType)
$linkProperty.Name = "Description"
$linkProperty.Value = "Test Linked Report"
$ssrsProxy.CreateLinkedItem($itemPath,$parent,$link,$linkProperty)
