I've created a new SSRS project, and added a shared data source. When I run the project, I get the expected result succesfully.
However, when I try to deploy the report I get:
Error: Cannot deploy the report because the shared data source '/Data Sources/DataSource1' that the report references does not exist on the report server.
I'm guessing I am missing something very simple and critical because I am a complete beginner.
What am I doing wrong?
First, deploy the data source:
Then, deploy any necessary shared datasets:
Now, you'll be able to deploy or run your report.
If trying to deploy dataset but still getting this error...
I have discovered that if you change the name of the shared data source after you have already created a corresponding shared dataset, then the "DataSourceReference" property in the dataset does not change accordingly, is not be editable via the wizard, and it will throw this misleading error.
On the shared dataset, right-click and go to "Open With..." --> "XML (Text) Editor".
There you will see the raw configuration file. Make sure the <DataSourceReference> node has the proper value...
Scenario: You've decided to use a Shared Dataset on your report but you haven't used it. Make sure to select the proper datasets for this issue.
Answer with steps:
On the Report Data tab on your SSDT double click the Datasets(not the one with the folder sign). It'll open the Dataset Properties.
- when the Dataset properties is open make sure to select a Dataset that your report is suppose to use.
-press OK.

Dears,
I am quite new with Report Builder, and also with SSRS so sorry in advance if I raise irrelevant questions. My goal, essentially, is to deploy a sort of SQL Monitoring dashboard (I just uploaded a demo picture of it, here the link 1 ), that is composed by a main report with some charts and toggled sub reports. All these sub reports are filtered by the SQL instance name, and other parameters like number of monitoring days, months etc...
Plus I make use only of shared datasets.
Now, if I deploy the whole solution with Visual Studio against my report server, it works perfectly and all the report parts are uploaded without any issue against the report site.
If I try to deploy the report using the report website manager (by trying to upload the whole solution file by file), it does not upload anything, even if I create first the data source and then trying to add the existing datasets.
If I try to deploy the solution with Report Builder (after having giving to it the target report server URL and an existing folder that starts with slash), the only option I have is to open the solution as file, and save it against the target report server configured. But then the annoying error appears even if I the path has less than 260 char and even if the path starts with the slash:
"Error: The path of the dataset "" is not valid. The full path must be
less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report
server is in native mode, the path must start with slash.
(rsInvalidItemPath)"
What am I doing wrong? I thought that a tool like that, used also for publishing, would make the life easier, but apparently I may not know exactly how to use it.
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.
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

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

I am having this problem where the data being shown in report is different when I deploy it on server. So let's say if I am viewing report by pressing F5 (to debug) or by clicking on "Preview" button on the report in BI Studio the data shown is correct. But when I deploy the same report and when I run it from server such as http://myserver/reports then data shown is incorrect/missing.
For e.g. in some cases it is not showing data for a particular field and there are some number fields which are showing wrong data. I have cleaned the solution, deleted data cache files, rebuilt and deployed like 100 times but no luck.
When I deploy it shows some warning (which I guess I can ignore) but no errors.
I have checked the database by running queries and stored procedures directly and they all return correct data.
How do I fix this issue?
I went to report server and looked at the XML of one of the data set which was creating problem and found out that the new FIELD I have added is not there. Then I tried to deploy that data set and it said Overwrite Dataset property is set to False and that's why it was not deploying and I missed it in messages when it deploys a solution. So I simply set the property to True, deployed it and viola problem is solved.
