Publishing Resources from One Server to Another

You can publish resources in the resource tree of a Report Server (source server) to another Report Server (target server), using the TargetServerManager and TargetServer objects in the jet.server.api package of the Server API. This topic describes the methods in TargetServerManager and TargetServer.
