Does anyone know what the difference is between the two web service endpoints ReportService2005.asmx and ReportExecution2005.asmx in SQL Server Reporting Services? is there an article that I can go through? Thanks.

The ReportExecution2005 endpoint allows developers to programmatically process and render reports in a report server. The WSDL for this endpoint is accessed through ReportExecution2005.asmx?wsdl.

The ReportService2005 Web service (reportservice2005.asmx) allows developers to programmatically manage objects in a report server.
