SOAP Api - This operation is not supported on a report server that runs in native mode

I recently upgraded Report Server from SQL Server 13.0.1601.5 to PowerBi 15.0.1102.235.

 

In SQL Server, the service published to /ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx works, but when I try to call it on the PowerBi instance, the following error is returned. Is the execution service no longer functional although available? Is there any other service that can for example run a report programmatically to get a pdf file?

 

Thank you in advance.

I thought this should still work. Are you running this against an RDL based report?

 

The other option for an rdl report would be to use URL parameters https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/url-access-parameter-reference?view=sql-serv...

 

You can then do a simple get request against a url with the "rs:Format=PDF" parameter to get a pdf version of a report
