Did you solve the issue?
Please refrain from double-posting, the same has been linked above.
As for the topic, yes it is possible to export reports from AX as XPO. However if you have business logic in Visual Studio projects, I've had trouble with those in the past during import and is best to pull in to the customer environment from source code with the help of a job:
static void VSProjImport(Args _args) { FilenameOpen filename; filename = @"D:\temp\WorkflowInvoiceApproval\WorkflowInvoiceApproval.BusinessLogic\WorkflowInvoiceApproval.BusinessLogic.csproj"; SysTreeNodeVSProject::importProject(filename); }
You simply can export your report, related modified classes, queries and menu items by exporting xpo and then importing to another environment.
After you can use PowerShell to deploy SSRS report technet.microsoft.com/.../hh389771.aspx.
XPO will bring over all necessary files, no need to worry about the files that are generated by VS.
You just have to deploy the report after import in destination system.
"Do I publish the report to the AOT from Visual Studio and that will make the report a part of my XPO files when I export the XPO from the AOT?" - Yes.
Thnx Vilmos.....Rustem gave me a suggestion which I am going to try because the system that I am using to create the reports has the SSRD report development already installed and I really want to get the report from my development environment to the client's environment.
Hi Rustem:
This is valuable information. I did not know that I could actually move the reports as part of the XPO Export. I have never done this before and I could not see the connection. I write the classes in X++ and I use the Data Provider Class as provided in the AOT. But, what got me stumped was that I had to open visual studio development environment and create the reports.
I could not see how to get the report developed in Visual Studio to be tied to the XPO import..
What are the steps if you don't mind me asking? Do I publish the report to the AOT from Visual Studio and that will make the report a part of my XPO files when I export the XPO from the AOT?
I need some guidance

That product is outdated, and is no longer available as a boxed retail product. You could try contacting your Microsoft licensing partner to see if it could still be procured as a standalone license, if not then your only option is as per above - getting it via an MSDN subscription:
VS 2010 Professional edition is available with the Professional annual subscription, Ultimate requires the Enterprise subscription license.
Hi Steve !
You can modify reports in another environment where you have Visual Studio installed and move the modified report between environments using XPO Export and Import.
Hi Rustem:
My client uses Dynamics AX 2012 R3 but does not have a MSDN subscription. He needs to design SSRS reports on his server but we need to doenload the Visual Studio version that will have SSRS report development.
Any ideas on what can I do?
