Scheduling SSRS reports using an external scheduling package

We use a scheduling package to coordinate the scheduling of our batch
processes on most of our systems. Is there a way to trigger the
running of an SSRS report this way? And, what the specifics of what
is takes with some examples of how and what needs to be interfaced?

You can look into the rs.exe utility. Also, you might want to consider
calling a URL similar to this one to obtain the physical report file
and then attach it to an email. You can do this in ASP.NET (attaching
the file to an email, streaming the report file directly from an
HTTPRequest of the URL below), etc. It's up to you're preference and
expertise.

Format:
http://<ServerName>/reportserver?/<Directory>/<ReportName>&rs:Command=Render&<ParameterName>=<ParameterValue>&rs:Format=<PDF/CSV/XML/Excel/MHTML>
Hope this helps.
