Manage Null Format

Hi,
is it possible to render a report in the Null format and store the
intermediate formate in an own database and tell report server at any time in
the future:
Here is the Null-Format and please render it now as PDF, Excel, whatever?
We cannot use the snapshots because:
1) Each set of parameter settings needs it's own rdl definition
(for snapshots, you have to define fixed standard parameters!)
2) Some reports might become very large and we do not want to
bring the customersSorry, that's when the children come in ...
Once again:
Hi,
is it possible to render a report in the Null format and store the
intermediate formate in an own database and tell report server at any time in
the future:
"Here is the Null-Format and please render it now as HTML, PDF, Excel,
whatever?
We cannot use the snapshot history because:
1) Each set of parameter settings needs it's own rdl definition
(for snapshots, you have to define fixed standard parameters!)
2) Some reports might become very large and we do not want to
bring the customer's report database to explosion ...
I know, that we could render the reports into any format we want and store
it on our own, but that would require unneccessary db (or file) space and the
user would not be able to render different formats later. Further more the
HTML-Format would not be possible at all.
Any help on that?
Thanks in advance ...
