This method can create items of all supported item types. To see what item types are supported, use the ListItemTypes method.

The Model item type cannot be overwritten. Therefore, the Overwrite parameter must be False if ItemType is Model. Otherwise, an rsInvalidParameterCombination exception is thrown.

If ItemType is Report, then the XML data is defined by the Report Definition Language. If ItemType is Model, then the XML data is defined by the Semantic Model Definition Language.

If errors occur, the item is not created.

Adding an item to a report server database or SharePoint library modifies the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate properties of the parent folder.

If the applicable file name extension (for example, .rdl) is excluded from the item name, an rsFileExtensionRequired error will be returned.

The length of the Parent parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Parent parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.
