Using RdlCmd - majorsilence/Reporting GitHub Wiki

RdlCmd.exe/RdlCmd runs a RDL report file and creates a file for each type specified.

RdlCmd "/ffile.rdl" "/tpdf" "/ooutputdir"

• /f is followed by a file or file list. e.g. /ffile1.rdl+file2.rdl
  • Report arguments can optionally be passed by using '?' after the file.
  • Multiple report arguments are separated by '&'.
  • For example, /ffile1.rdl?parm1=XYZ Inc.&parm2=1000
  • One special argument is 'rc:ofile' which names the output file.
  • For example, /ffile1.rdl?parm1=XYZ Inc.&parm2=1000&rc:ofile=xyzfile
• /t is followed by the type of output file: pdf, html, mht, xml, csv, xslx, rtf, tif, tifb
  • e.g /tpdf+xml
• /o is followed by the output directory. The file name is the same as the input (or the rc:ofile parameter) except with the type as the extension.
• /c is followed by the connection string
  • This will overwrite the connection string in the report definition.
• /p is followed by the pass phrase needed by reports using a shared data source.
• /s displays elapsed time statistics
• /i is followed by an image filename to be stamped onto first page of the PDF.
  • Location arguments x, y, h, w can optionally be passed using '?'
  • Arguments are separated by '&'. Only pdf files support this option.
  • For example, /i"copyright.gif?x=4in&y=3in&w=7cm&h=16pt"
• /u is followed by the report user ID.
• /l outputs the license and warranty
