Downloading RDL files from E10 not working with explicit subreport path

We are trying to migrate some our production reports from the E10 SSRS server to Kinetic. When building the CAB file or downloading directly from the Actions menu in Report Style, there is an error if any of the subreports have an explicit path instead of just the name of subreport (if subreport is in same folder as top level).

[5/30/2025 10:22:39 AM] Error: SSRS RDL Export reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/POForm_Example
Error collecting reports:
The item ‘/reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/POForm_ExampleSub’ cannot be found. —> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: The item ‘/reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/POForm_ExampleSub’ cannot be found.

These reports all run fine, so this seems like a hiccup in the download process. Is there any way around this other than going through every RDL and updating the path to remove “/reports/CustomReports/PurchaseOrderForm/” (or whatever the main path is)?

I am aware of Jose’s tool…but I highly doubt our server team will allow it to be installed.

I used this powershell script to copy the entire SSRS structure as a backup. Maybe this will help.

E10 to Kinetic is a big jump and you may have to rebuild some custom reports. I don’t remember now which ones we had to remake.

We had to rebuild the ARForm RDLs for Invoicing since they changed Invoicing to use ARInvoice.RDD instead of ARForm.RDD. Most of the other forms went fine.

Yeah the AR Invoice is always a usual suspect on major upgrades to break. I still have PTSD of having to redo it from E8 to E9 then to E10. :rofl:
