In our production environment we have SSRS 2008 R2. When we are trying to access the reports using http://{ServerName}:{Port}/Reports then all the parameters are greyed out, and report is not rendering at all. But when we are trying to access the reports using http://{ServerName}:{Port}/ReportServer OR using the report builder then its working fine, all the parameters are available and it is rendering the reports. What can be the root cause for this issue? I checked the the processing options and its not Snapshot based.

I have an on-promise server and published a sample powerbi report on SSRS, then I called the report inside reportviewer control (in my asp web application), but I am getting below error, can any one please help me with it?
The operation you are attempting on item '/XXXX' is not allowed for
this item type. (rsWrongItemType)،
The Report Viewer Control only suports paginated rdl reports. If you are using SSRS preview with Power BI support the best option for embedding is an iFrame.
All of the reports I have on our SSRS server work great through the SSRS ReportViewer web control but I have 2 reports that will not render. I fill out the parameters and the page refreshes with nothing. No loading gif, no toolbar, just the parameter controls.
I have tried using the ReportViewer on Chrome, Firefox and IE. All reports but these two certain reports work great.
I've tried the methods listed in:
SSRS 2008 R2 - SSRS 2012 - ReportViewer: Reports are blank in Safari and Chrome
Only 2 reports out of >10 fail to render on SSRS 2008R2 SP2
Does anyone know why certain reports may not display while others will?
Update: I have found that if I pass in a test parameter, the report will render with 0 results. However if I pass in a valid value, I get nothing.
Turns out to have been a couple of things.
First was something to do with the query. One of the parameters accepted values with commas in it and when changing the values to not contain commas, the report worked fine. This might have been attributed to how the values were being passed to the parameters.
The DIV containing the report needed overflow: auto; added to it's styles.
I assume you are on SSRS 2008 r2. While I'm not familiar with using the web version of ReportViewer (I always preview my reports in Visual Studio), I have found that if my Data Source loses its connection string this can happen.
Do you have visual studio with SSRS? If so can you open your report there and preview 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.
Sorry for being a newbie to SSRS.
My design goal:
Near term: develop - using SSRS - a simple client side (no reporting server!) report - based on MS SQL data tables, and embed it into the .NET WPF client (application)
Long term: for additional reports, hire external SSRS experts, so they will provide the reports developed, and I will integrate them into the same WPF application.
I managed to do 2 things:
Develop a simple report connecting to MS SQL, using Reports Builder 3.0 - as a result, an RDL file was generated (the file contains all the DB connections)
Embed a ReportViewer WinForms control into the WPF application.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to load the report I developed, into the application.
I understood from articles on the new that RDL is not designed to support client-side execution (without a server), and RDLC should be used instead. However, I wasn't able to figure out how to conver the report to RDLC, using the Reports Builder - it does not give me an option to save in a different format.
I would appreciate any hint from the experienced people on how to accomplish my goal.
Specifically, should I use RDLC, and if positive - what's the way to get the report in this format?
Thanks

I would recommend using Visual Studio when creating RDLC reports that will be embedded within an application and run in "Local" mode, and using either Microsoft Report Builder or Visual Studio to create RDL reports that will run in "Server" mode within SSRS.
A RDLC report would be created within a WPF Visual Studio project be simply creating a new Report.
A RDL report would be created within a Reports Server project when using Visual Studio.
Alternatively, it appears you could simply rename the file from RDL to RDLC if you don't mind manually correcting the Data Source information in the report definition file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252109(v=vs.120).aspx.
I'm having trouble figuring this out.
I stopped ALL of local SQL Services, e.g. SQL Server, SQL Agent, Reporting Services. Then using Report Builder 2.0 to create a report connecting to a remote SQL Server (No SSRS running) out in the farm. When I click on "Run" button, for some odd reasons, it still render the report.
I thought you must have SSRS running in the first place. Is SQL Reporting Services even required for Report Builder?

When Reporting Services runs a report, it creates a data file of the data used in the report and, if nothing changes, it uses that data the next time the report runs instead of hitting the server again. You could be seeing the cached data.
Look where the report is kept. There will be a report file, say MyReport.rdl and also the data, MyReport.rdl.data. You could delete that data file otherwise simply changing the report parameters (if you have some) will generally cause the report to disregard the cached data and make a trip to the server again.
I'm answering my own question. Here's my observation after some googling and experimenting.
Report Builder is using a stand alone report control to render report. Visual Studio.NET is probably using the same thing when preview a report. SSRS is required when developers need to incorporate web-based reporting solution, e.g. ASP.NET, as well as to manage reports.
What's really bothering me is that to author reports in VS.NET, I must be using Business Intelligence Projects. In order to do that, I must install SQL Server 2005/2008 with SSRS. Why is so when SSRS is not even required in a LOCAL environment?
