Is it possble to use SSRS for Progress OpenEdge database? - reporting-services

Is it possible to use SSRS - SQL Server Reporting Services for Progress OpenEdge database?
I'm able to built a report via Microsoft SQL report builder however unable to connect database via ODBC when publishing .rdl file to SSRS
Below is screeshot (first) how I have connected to database through odbc and (second & third) other 2 connecting from report builder which works fine.
Report builder and Sql report server are on same machine.
However can't see Progress OpenEdge driver on New data Source for SSRS.
Also posted error that i get for .rdl report file uploaded to SSRS but works on fine on same machine report builder.
Please check below,

SSRS connection to an existing instance

I have a SQL 2012 instance called LTT which contains a database called ReportServer$LTT. I have installed SSRS 2017. After the installation of SSRS2017 it is using SSRS as its Report Server Instance. But I need it to use LTT. How do i change the Report Server Instance? Using SQL Management Studio I am unable to connect to <servername>\LTT Report Server and I get the following error:
The Reporting Services instance could not be found.
(MS.sqlserver.managment.UI.RSClient)
I am also unable to connect to: \SSRS and get this error:
Unable to connect to the server at \SSRS. The specified
URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report
server version of configuration. Specify a different URL....
You'll need to remote desktop to the report server. Then open Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Click on the "Database" tab. From there you'll be able to change the database the report manager uses.

Report not rendering using SSRS 2008 R2

SSRS 2005 : I am writing RDL file in code itself & binding to a custom datasource(DATASET extension) & rendering using report viewer which is working fine. Now I have upgraded the Reporting server to SSRS 2008 R2. When executing the same codebase
(RDL & Dataset) it is throwing error on report viewer.
Error: An error has occurred during report processing query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'.
First, did you also upgrade the SQL database to 2008 R2 as well?
If so, try the following to update the report schema:
Open the .rdl in Report Builder 3.0. Expand Data Sources, select your Data Source, and switch to Use a connection embedded in my report
Build a new connection string to your SQL server and database, and ensure that you use Windows Authentication. I'm not sure why, but SQL Authentication errors out sporadically.
Test Connection and press OK.
For each of your Datasets, open them up and Refresh Fields and press OK.
Save the report.
I have experienced this in the past. This will essentially force a schema update of the report. It's a bit of a dirty workaround, but I've found it to be successful. If one of your datasets fails to refresh, you'll receive an error explaining what's wrong with the underlying SQL.

SSRS Datasource connection to SQL Azure Data don't work from web based reports

I'm unable to generate a report from the web based interface (Report Manager). The same report in my Visual Studio project works perfectly.
The error which appear when trying to generate the report from the web is
"Cannot create a connection to data source"
The log file error is the fallowing
Cannot get edition information from catalog server.
The report data is retreived from an SQL Azure database.
How come the report can work inside my Visual Studio project but no more once deployed?
I've tried both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008 on fresh machines and both gives the same result.
Thanks,
After a half day of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered it was because the edition of SSRS I am using does not support Azure SQL Databases as a data source.
I am using 2008 Express Advanced Edition. It appears Standard or above is required for this.

Create reports in Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008

I want to create a report in Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008 but I don't know how can I do that. I create a report in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio but I don't know the relation between this report and Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008.
How can I use Reporting Services and create a report in it?
The report server is where you store your reports so that people can run them centrally. You can deploy your report from BIDS to the report server.
You can also log in to the report server and run a tool called report builder to create and deploy reports without having to use BIDS.
Have a look at the following link for how to get started with reporting services:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522672(v=sql.105).aspx
Since you already create report, you can directly upload your .rdl file directly to reporting service. If you don't know how to configure your reporting service, please refer to here . You can also use reporting service manage URL to see your uploaded report, and you can also open from there to use report builder to directly edit your report.

How can I ensure that these reports are appearing or can be seen on SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) URL?

I am new to SSRS. I have developed some reports using BIDS using SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) when I run them from my machine reports are running ok. But there are not appearing from SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS). Even when I open SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) in a web broswer
I can not see the reports on SSRS. How can I ensure that these reports are appearing or can be seen on SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) URL?
Please help.
Have you deployed them?
Right-Click on the report and go to Deploy
or
In the Build menu select "Deploy projectname"
You may have to set the project properties first for TargetServerURL to something like
http://SSRSserver/reportserver
They can be found in the Project menu under "projectname Properties"
There are two options to deploy your reports on server -
1] You can directly deploy it from your VS by right clicking on your report & selecting deploy option, here you need to mention target server -
http://[server name]/ReportServer
2] If you are able to access report server then web browser provide one option to upload your reports. So you can upload your report directly on report server (.rdl file). Here you need to set proper connnection string & permission rights to access the report.
Hope this will help you..!!
