    <p>I'm trying to create a CI process for SQL Server Reporting Services. I am fairly new to TFS but quite experienced with MSBuild. In the past I've used a combination of MSBuild with Team City so the whole build process is more or less custom.</p> <p>Here lies the start of my problems, as the solution I am deploying only contains Report Server projects (<em>rds</em>), no compilation is required. I thought that I would override the the first default task that TFS runs (<em>EndToEndIteration</em>) to override the default TFS build sequence and inject my own.</p> <p>The first snag that I have come across is that the build always fails, how can I set the status of the build to success? Currently the EndToEndIteration task is very light and only has a message.</p> <p>Is this the best method to create a custom build process in TFS where compilation is not required? Or should I use the default sequence and override one of the hook tasks mentioned in </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337604%28VS.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337604%28VS.80%29.aspx</a> (<em>ie: AfterCompile</em>)</li> </ul> <p>The core steps that I'd like to achieve are:</p> <ol> <li>Bundle the RDL and datasource files</li> <li>Connect to the host server to register/deploy the reports</li> <li>Re-apply any subscriptions that previously existed</li> <li>Run tests to verify the deployment succeeded and is returning results as expected</li> </ol> <p>I have found another article on Report services deployment:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/88710/reporting-services-deployment">Reporting Services Deployment</a></li> </ul> <p>But it doesn't mention the best practice for customizing the standard build process.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
