Question Reporting best practice

[Lotok]

I have created reporting in apps and also in ssrs, but never had to call ssrs reports from an app. I have now been asked to. My question is not a how-to but more should I advise against it. Having my apps call something managed separately and having no control over it's existence causes concern.

Is this something done frequently which I have just been sheltered from?

Yes, it's a very common thing. Any enterprise-grade installation of SQL Server is far more likely to store reports on the database server than in the application. They are usually developed in conjunction with the application but deployed to one server instead of lots of clients.

Many thanks for getting back to me
