I got a report with 2 data sources and both are Shared Data source. I am trying to change both of them to Custom Data Source but when I re-upload the report in my Report Manager, it won't work.
Edit: I don't have an error because the report successfully uploads, but the data source doesn't change. If I have a field in the report, the report shows the new field, but the data source stays the same.
This might be because of caching that SSRS does with the datasource for the report on the server. Do the new datasources have the same name as the old ones?
You could create the custom datasources in the DataSources tab in the Manage menu for the report in the report manager.
To do this open up the Report Menu by click on the "..." then selecting Manage
Then click on the Data Sources Tab, then change the data source to Custom Datasource.
Then set up the datasource like you did in the report, you will need to select SQL Server for the Connection, add the connection string and choose the authentication type which in the image below is windows authentication but I am not sure how it is set up on your server. Then click Test Connection. Then Click Save (make sure you click Save before navigating away).
Or you could delete the old report in the report manager and then upload it again. Note that deleting the report will delete any schedules and other customization you have done ie. Name and Description.
Is there an error message? It won't work could be a bunch of things. I'd upload a picture of the error or whatever screen you can't get past. Let me know when you can do that, then it will be easier to troubleshoot. If you can't upload an image than I would:
Check your datasource connections are correct.
Check your datasets are using the correct connection.
This is a setting thats controlled from the deployment properties of the visual studio SSRS project. Right click the project name and select Properties. Then from the Property section of the general page notice "Overwrite Datasets" & "Overwrite Datasources". Change the one that's necessary and re-deploy to see it updated in the report portal.

I'm getting the error: "An attempt was made to set a report parameter 'ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH"' that is not defined in this report. when I try to view my reports in a web browser. I'm executing this reports through a menu with button code. When the page comes up I get the error.
I have added manually ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH in parameter level report design. this ABC_PrintCopyOriginal_TH was enum which I used to print filter expression based on menu item button. eg: when click on original menu button it needs to print original on report design if etc copy button wise versa....
Can you please help me how to resolve this?
Are you using an SSRS Reporting server to host your reports? If so, have you deployed the report and tried restarting the Reporting server after the changes?
What editor are you using to edit the .rdl files?
If deploying and restarting the server doesn't help there is probably a typo in your .rdl file somewhere since you manually add stuff. Try using Report Builder and check if that gives you more info about the issue.
Do not seem to be able to find any place in the portal or Report Builder where I can actually edit the connect string & creds.
Report Manager shows the XML, but that really is it.
Disk files (from the looks of it) are no longer present in high versions (using SQL 2016/2017).
Is there a known location anywhere in GUI, or maybe direct edits in the SQL Server repository?
I can't even delete a shared source anymore, only view or test the connection.
If anybody could post a screenshot, it'll be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Just found out - when I create a new Data Source, it's editable; the imported data sources are not.
There are two ways of doing this. You can set the 'overwrite datasource' option in the project properties.
Or, you can got to the report portal , show hidden items in the view menu and there is a folder called "data sources". Open this and you will see all data sources, from there you can edit and save changes. All reports that use that datasource will be affected.
We have 2 reporting server. One for test and one for production. Our business analyst will build the reports (rdl files) using Report Builder 3.0. After they complete the development and test on test reporting server (e.g. http://test/reportserver), we will modify the "ReportServerUrl" and Datasource, and then upload to production reporting server (e.g. http://prod/reportserver).
The problem is I cannot find in the Report Builder 3.0 UI how to configure this change. The only way I find is open the RDL file using Notepad, locate and then change the URL.
Since our analyst are not programmers I want to avoid use notepad. May I know where is the button to change ReportServerUrl?
Each time you add a Shared DataSource to a report or edit an existing DataSource (and therefore connect to a Report Server), the current report server is updated. This is shown in the bottom left of your Report Builder window ("Current report server...") and also gets written to the <rd:ReportServerUrl> tag in the .rdl file itself. This is just an indicator of the last Report Server which was connected to by the report.
Therefore, if you wish to change the <rd:ReportServerUrl>, you just need to amend the DataSource(s) in the report to be ones which reside on the Report Server whose URL you wish to have appear.
I'm trying to deploy a report from SpagoBIStudio 5.2.0 on a SpagoBI Server v5.1.0.
The report works perfectly in SpagoBIStudio (locally in my computer), and I successfully created the data source and the data sets using the web interface of SpagoBI Server.
Nevertheless when I click on the "Deploy" option of my ".rptdesign" file, I see the following dialog and the "Finish" button is always disabled.
For some reason I can select the correct Datasource but the Dataset dropdown list is empty and disabled. I guess this could be the problem.
The data source is a JDBC-Hive connection to Cosmos and the Datasets are defined as HQL queries in both Studio and Server.
Does anybody know why the datasets aren't listed in the deploy document wizard of SpagoBIStudio?
Thanks in advance.
you cannot finish the deploy not because of dataset but because you did not select any functionality on the tree on the right.
You don't have any functionality on server where to store your document, so you should go to server with and administrator user role,
then with the menu on the right, on the profile section, select the "functionalities management" menu and create a folder that is child of the root. Give it the permissions you need
After this operation try again the deploy and you should be able to select one funcitonality and so have finish button enabled
greetings
the dataset selection is disabled because a Birt Report is not linked to dataset that way.
There are two ways of using datasets in Birt:
- Birt embedded datasets, that can be of several types provided by Birt (SpagoBI has no role with that)
- SpagoBIServer type dataset; these are linked to SpagoBIDataset by providing label, but this association is written inside template, during template definition.
Hope this fix your problem, I would suggest you also to take a look at SpagoBI wiki page for further informations
greetings
Giulio
You don't have to select the dataset. Your finish button is not enabled because you haven't select the path from the functionalities tab. After selecting it will be enabled and your report will be deployed. After deployment you need to create Analytical drivers for the parameters through which your report will run.
NOTE: You must have a Active server configured under resources under SpagoBI project folder.
I have changed the SSRS report names in my reporting server projects. I have four reports and four linked reports in this projects. The linked reports are being called by an action setup on a column value where the parameters are being passed to the linked reports. After renaming all the report names I have made similar changes in the Action property in order direct the parameters to the changed report name. I have also saved the changes and re-built the project and have not got any errors. All the four main reports are working fine but the linked reports are trowing the following error while running the reports using preview options in MS Visual Studio 2010
An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I have deployed this to my local report server and on browser I getting the following error
The item '/Unit Reports/OLDREPORTNAME' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)
Here you can see that it is still trying to locate it to the old report name not the new changed one.
I have clean, built and deployed the project several times but still getting these errors
Please let me know if I need to make changes in any other files to avoid this error.
Thanks
Within the .rdl search for "OLDREPORTNAME" and replace with "NEWREPORTNAME"...
Take a backup first :-)
I have noticed that when I implement the Action property on the report field, it automatically set-up the same Action property of that text box where the field was defined.
I have found that the text box Action property was still pointing to the old report. I have changed text box Action property to point it to the new report and now my linked reports are working absolutely fine.
Thanks
