2009 RDL reports converting to 2013/2015 RDLC reports

leegeorgeHughes

Good Evening,

I have a very basic question which i have been trying to work out the answer to for a few hours!

If i convert all custom reports in 2009 from classic to rdl (so they run in rtc), then upgrade the database to 2013 R2 or 2015, will the process of "upgrading the reports" in the 2013 development environment make them work seamlessly in 2013r2/2015 without any tweaking?

same question re pages - if there is a page in 2009R2 will it "just work" in 2013R2 / 2015?

sorry for the stupid question but its been a long day

Yes

Yes, apart from the fact that you will possible see a lot of actions without icons assigned to them.

But ... to all objects going from 2009 to 2013 you need to apply the Object Change Tool.
