    Thanks almazfm for identifying the root cause of this issue. I can reproduce this on my test server.

     

    flopi I have mention this to the people I know on the dev team and apparently this issue had already been identified and a fix will be included in a new build of the September release which they hope to release something in the next few days.

How are you using rs:Embed? 

 

I just tried adding ?rs:Embed=true on the end of a report url and it stripped out the portal navigation elements just leaving the report as I would expect it to.

    Hi,

     

    thanks for your promt feedback.

    I use it as you described and integrated some important reports into an internal application. Suddenly, after the upgrade, the links with ?rs:Embed=true  didn't forward me to the report, on the contrary, I'm being forwarded to the main page of PBRS. 

    Maybe you have tested on a fresh installation. Can you check the upgrade scenario ?

     

    Thanks Bobi

      The instance I tested against was upgraded from the May 2019 release.

       

      So are you saying if you remove the ?rs:embed=true the link works, but it only breaks when you add the embed parameter?

        Hi d_gosbell,

         

        I had an embeded link in our internal system (e.g. https://myreport/reports/powerbi/myreport?rs:embed=true ). After the upgrade the link didn't work any more and I've been forwarded to the main page (e.g. https://myreport/reports). My virtual folder is defined as Reports.

        I've checked the hint from almazfm and tested it on my box (single PBRS installation). After changing the link to  https://myreport/Reports/powerbi/myreport?rs:embed=true it worked. Unfortunately, this workaround doesn't work on scale-out environment, since the virtual directory is a part of the load balance address i.e. https://myreport/reports must be change not only in PBRS but also in the load balance configuration. Moreover, every user has saved the link of the Report as a favorite link. If I would change the URL in all configurations, all personal favorites are invalid. For this scenario, I didn't find any technical workaround!

        d_gosbell: With the September update a breaking functionaliy has been released. Request you to address it to the developers and release a hotfix, because 99% of all PBRS-Installations are affected and need to be reconfigured

         

        Thanks 
        Bobi

      Hi flopi ,

       

      In fact rs:embed=true works fine, the issue you're facing should be with the fact that the new release makes the report server name case sensitive. E.g. http://server/Reports and http:/server/reports aren't the same. please check your web page name and try to change the links accordingly.

       

      P.S. I had the same issue
