I need to dynamically specify the data source for SSRS reports at runtime. I found these solutions:
Dynamically set the data source for SSRS reports without unattended execution account?
How to select the Data Source at Runtime in SSRS Report Builder
After reading these solution I have implemented like below:
Created RDL file with two report parameters ServerName & DatabaseName
Create Embedded Datasource
While embedded connection, Set connection string with formula like below:
="data source=" & Parameters!ServerName.Value & ";initial catalog=" & Parameters!DatabaseName.Value & ";Integrated Security=SSPI;"
While embedded connection, Credential option need to select “Do not use credentials”
Define execution account in reporting service configuration
With above steps I have achieved data source at runtime in SSRS. But it will work only if databases are in same machine where reporting service installed.
In my case, Reporting Service is installed on Azure VM & database which I am pointing its on Azure Database Service. So obviously windows authentication will not work.
Any one have solution? please share...!!
Thanks

We are testing snowflake connectivity from SSRS reports. Connection was successful.
Steps I followed: 1) Added the Snowflake driver & pasted the required parameters
2) Added user dsn
3) And then used the dsn in data sources & the connection was successful
This is in my local system. Now what are the steps to be followed to deploy the report in server?
our current SSRS setup has Shared Datasources (to SQL server/db) so many reports can use them.
Is such a setup possible in PowerBI?
So A developer can login/use this shared datasource to build their report/db, then publish on the server, and when user executes the report, it uses a service account on that shared datasource?
You can produce a dataset in PowerQuery and optionally build out visuals. Once deployed to PowerBI Service you can connect to the dataset from many other PowerBI reports (PBIX files). You also have the option of re-using PowerBI data flows.

SQL Server 2016 reporting. The SSRS service runs as an account that has read access in the database I'd like to run reports from.
I'd like to create a server level data source object that would use the Windows service account to connect, instead of storing the credentials in the data source itself. Is there a way to do so?
The "Without any credentials" option doesn't work, I've tried.
We have an SSRS with Oracle as data source. Creating report Works, but creating subscriptions doesn't.
On the Data Source configuration page,i use Oracle internal user and enabled "Credentials stored securely on the report server". If i click Test Connectiong, it says the connectiong was succesful.
Creating a subscription gives the error "Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid."
Something i found out is that the reports i create have as data source :
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Production and Windows Integrated Security as credentials.
Shouldn't Oracle be the data source and what can i do to correctly configure the subscriptions?
seems datasource credentials are your windows credentials, try changing it to your oracle database credentials. check below link for more information of connection strings.

I am using Report Server 2012 and Report Builder 3.0. I defined a Analysis Services Data Source on the server where I provide windows credentials to access the server.
When I want to add a dataset in Report Builder based on this data source I have to enter credentials. Why? They are defined in the shared data source on the server....
My understanding was, that the data source defined on the report server will use the credentials defined in the data source and not the credentials of the calling client application.
