I have a strange issue..., I was not able to see any updates made to my SSRS Report RDL in the Dynamics CRM, no luck even after changing the parameters and changing the details available in the report table.
After this when deployed to Dynamics CRM, it still shows me the old report, however this does open in my local in visual studio with the appropriate changes made...I am on Dynamics 365 9.0 version online.
Please let me know if there is any hack or trick to overcome this...I am struggling from last one day...couldn't find any proper fix for this online...
Kindly suggest....
Followed the below steps to solve the issue...posting here as it could help someone searching for this...
1.are you sure you are uploading the correct RDL file
2. Clean the VS Solution
3. Reload the project
4. Then rebuild the project in release mode, take the RDL from the release folder.
5. Delete the existing report and reload the one from Release folder and that's it.

In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.
I'm trying to create a report in SSRS (Visual Studio 2012) for Dynamics 2011 using fetchXML. I have downloaded and installed the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Report Authoring Extension (with SQL Server Data Tools support) but I cannot find the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch Type when I try to create a report, please, does any one have any suggestions?
Probably you are trying to create the report in some already existed project, I had the same issue with VS2010 in that case.
To make Fetch XML data source be visible you must create new project in Visual Studio. If all installations were successful, you must be able to create project with Business Intelligence/Report Server Project template, than create new report and in Report Data window (if it not appears automatically - just click on any place on report, go to View menu and find Report Data window) right click on Datasets, than pick "Use a dataset embeded in my report", click "New..." button near Data source drop down and there you should see Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch connection type.
Have no possibility to test this with VS2012, hope this will help.
As far as I know the latest version of SQL is SQL 2012 and BIDS for it is done using VS2010. So answer is quite simple - you would not be able to build a report using VS2012, you will have to use VS2010.
You're missing the Report Authoring Extensions. Install these and you'll have the FetchXML in the list.
If you've upgraded to a later CRM version since this post, just search on that version of extension installer instead (2013/2015/2016).
I have created few SSRS reports in SQL server 2012 with Visual Studio 2010 version.
And I have deployed them to one SharePoint Site.
I want to make this automated, so that data available in the reports are up to date.
So, now I would like to create SSIS package which will run periodically to get up to date data using integration services. I am very much new to SSIS. I have tried to look at different sites for this, but I am not getting an exact idea from where to start.
Can anyone please guide me on this? How can I create a WSDL file URL for the SharePoint report? Do I really need it if report is already made in SSRS or do I just want to run that?
Thank you.
Would SSRS caching solve your problem?
Otherwise, there's nothing SSIS specific to solving your problem. You will simply need to use the .NET library to visit the page with the appropriate parameters. Visit your report page and copy the full URL.
Inside a Script Task use that URL as part of the WebClient. You'll probably need to supply credentials with this. No need to deal with storing the output, you'll simply want to validate that you get a 200 message code
Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve? Do you want to automate the running of the Reporting Services reports? In that case you should look at Report Subscriptions.
I am using SQL server 2012. I have created one SSRS solution in SSDT (Sql sever data tools).
I want to add it in TFS Visual Studio 2010. It only used for Syncing purpose for all team members. so every one can get all reports by doing get latest every day. there is about 300 reports for different modules. I want to use SSRS solution through TFS.
previous project i was facing problem about Syncing of all my team members. because individual is created their own solutions and after completing report they are upload it on report server.
I don't want to do it again.
I want to use TFS to Syncing all teams members for all reports.
Any solution for it?
TFS will allow your team members to sync the reports locally to their machines whenever a change occurs or a report is added. Your team members will just need to get latest from TFS to their local workspace.
Sounds like you need to create a process for your team to follow and educate them on how reports should be added or modified.
For example, if you have a folder called reports in TFS then anytime a developer needs to make a change or add a report they would add it to this solution and folder. Lock down the ability to deploy reports straight to the server until approved therefore developers cannot bypass TFS.
Steps a developer would take to ensure the latest report is being updated or changed:
Developer pulls down latest report folder from TFS locally
Developer makes updates and changes
Before developer checks in any changes they again pull down the latest to ensure they will not overwrite any new changes. A possible merge may be required if the report has changed since the developer started working on it.
Developer checks in changes to TFS
Once changes to reports are approved then the report is deployed to reporting server. This could be done via a TFS build.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question or problem.
Looks like you going to need to make a custom plugin that can sync your reports to other teams when it is checked in
I have just moved into a new company and the people who setup their reports set them up under projects and then created reports. Using Visual Studio they then updated to the server, created a linked report to sub folders via internet explorer interface.
I have now found that to update any of these reports, I have to update them to the project location and then delete the old report and create a new linked report.
I am hoping that there is a gap in my knowledge and there is another way to do this. Alternatively is there a way I can move the reports to their respective folders. I do not have access to the reportserver to create folders but can apply to IT to get these done.
Would love some help so I do not spend days updating most of these reports.
Thanks
If I understand you correctly they are developing the reports in visual studio and using the deploy function to upload them to the reporting server. They then create a linked report using the web-based report manager interface so that the report is the accessible from another location.
I haven't tested it using the auto-deployment feature of visual studio, but at least if you update the main report then all linked reports will now be the new version as well. So you should just be able to deploy from visual studio and have all of the old linked reports work as well. Only if the auto-deployment process involves deleting the original report before uploading will the linked reports be broken. As long as it is a simple update/replace operation it will be fine.
If it is actually deleting the reports during deployment and the linked reports stop functioning (giving an error something like "the report link is no longer valid") then you don't actually have to fully delete and recreate the linked report. You can go to the properties of the linked report and update the link location so that it will no point to the proper report again (tested on 2008 R2). This will save you from having to redo all of the security and subscriptions that the linked report may have.
