SSRS - use deployed resource as property

Hi

I am building an SSRS deployment which includes a datasource. I would like to put that datasource's name in a property (install parameter). Is there a way to do that?

The idea behind this is I don't want to overwrite an existing datasource. So I want to collect the file name, put it in an SQL query, get the result in an install parameter (DATASOURCE_IS_MISSING), then conditionally deploy the SSRS deployment based on my DATASOURCE_IS_MISSING install parameter. I would prefer not hardcoding the name of the datasource, instead receiving it as a property.
This is essentially related to question #3 in this thread: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums ... 595#p87595

Re: SSRS - use deployed resource as property

Hello,

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. I've added this improvement on our TODO list and hopefully in the future more fields in our SSRS feature will be of formatted type so you can easily use a property reference.

Thank you for your suggestion. When such enhancement will be available we will update this thread.

All the best,
Daniel
