SSRS and Visual Studio new version - reporting-services

I have recently upgraded my Visual Studio from version 2015 to version 2017. The solution I have was a version 2015 report but was upgraded to version 2017 using the internal upgrade question. Now when I run the report I get a non explicit error
An error occurred during local report processing.
An error has occurred during report processing.

Visual Studio Report Designer 2015 Not Building to Target Server Version Correctly

I have an SSRS report project I'm working on in Visual Studio 2015, and I am unable to deploy my reports to the correct target server version.
The reports need to be able to deploy and run on SQL Server 2012, 2014 and 2016. Visual Studio 2015 allows for a Target Server Version option for the project of 2008R2, 2012, or 2014, which is what the target server version of the project is set to. The designer automatically upgraded the source RDL file schema to the 2016 version of the report once you open and do anything within it. I understand this part is by design.
The problem comes when you build the report. The build output files in the \bin\Debug or \bin\Release folders are not targeted to the correct server version. The following tag looks like it updates correctly in the output files:
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">
However, the build fails to remove and leaves behind all of the other SSRS 2016 tags within the built RDL files, and as such cannot be deployed to SSRS 2012 or 2014.
I have Visual Studio 2015 v 14.0.25431.01 installed with SQL Server Data Tools v14.0.60812.0 with SQL Server Reporting Services 13.0.1700.68.
Is there something that I'm missing that needs to be done as well besides setting Target Server Version to "2008R2, 2012, or 2014" to get it to build to the correct Target Server Version?
I had this same problem. What I needed to do to resolve this was
Clean the project
Under Project > Properties > General set TargetServerVersion to "SQL Server 2008"
Set TargetServerVersion to "SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012 or 2014"
Rebuild the project
Your project should now deploy to the correct version

Unable to connect to IBM DB2 from SSIS / VS.NET 2015, though works with VS.NET 2013

We are planning to upgrade from SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio 2013 to SQL Server 2016 and Visual Studio 2015.
The error message:
[IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure.
comm rc=25202 - CWBCO1034 - SSL error, function returned 25202
Background
We have an SSIS project which connects to an IBM DB2 server and retrieves data. This has been working for years.
The working setup looks like this:
Windows 10
Visual Studio 2013
SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013
IBM i Access for Windows, version 7 Release 1
A DSN pointing to the IBM DB2 server
ADO.NET Connection Manager with ODBC Data Provider pointing to the DSN mentioned above.
SSL enabled on the DSN.
If we on the same machine use Visual Studio 2015 and subsequently SQL Server Data Tools 2015, it no longer works. Everything else is the same!
As soon as the package is opened and SSIS starts to validate the connection managers the error message arises.

Migrate SSIS package from Visual Studio 2013 to SQL Server 2014

I have deployed a SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2013 to SQL Server 2014 SSIS catalog. But I can not run the package. Here is the error massage:
Package1:Error: Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed with error 0xC001700A "The version number in the package is not valid. The version number cannot be greater than current version number.".
check the .dtsx file for the following entry:-
<DTS:Property
DTS:Name="PackageFormatVersion">8</DTS:Property>
a value of 8 would indicate the package is written for sql 2014; a value of 6 indicates sql 2012.
The error message indicates that you are attempting to run a package written for sql2014 in a 2012 environment, which doesn't fit with what you are doing.
If the version is 8 and your sql is 2014, then you could try updating to SSDT 2015, and re-executing the package from there.
I think everything that might be relevant is described at SSIS package upgraded by deployment.
Basically even if your Visual Studio SSDT-BI and the server match perfectly, you still have to use the right ISDeploymentWizard.exe.

SSRS gauge component stop working with error in designer but work in preview

In ssrs 2012 everything was ok.

Visual Studio 2013 could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.Managment.Sdk.Sfc Version 11.0.0.0

I'm trying to set up a dataconnection with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. My OS is Windows 8 x64 and i'm using Visual Studio 2013 (Express). The error message look like this:
Ofcourse I searched for a solution for this error. Thing's I have tried: update from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 to SP3. And I found out that installing these two files can solve the error:
\x64\SharedManagementObjects.msi and x64\SQLSysClrTypes.msi
So I installed these two files for SQL Server 2008 , but it gives the same error. How can I fix this error?
EDIT: I fixed my problem by installing the SQL Server 2012 CLR Types file and the SQL Server 2012 Shared Managements Object file.
