We're upgrading a data warehouse from SQL Server 2000 to 2008 R2. A favorite user reporting tool is a web site using OWC 10 (Office Web Components) -- it's basically ASPX pages connected to the Analysis Services 2000 database via the OWC object.
We migrated the warehouse SQL tables and Analysis Services database into 2008. I'm trying to get the OWC10 web site to connect to the 2008 R2 Analysis Services. I changed the ASPX connection definitions to the new server, and can see them in debug messages. However the web page gives me the error "Cannot connect to the server 'blahblah.blah.com' The server is either not started or too busy."
I suspect there are permissions or security setups required to open up Analysis Services 2008 for OWC10 queries. Has anyone done this or similar? Any ideas where to look?
Thanks.
change the provider in the connection string to MSOLAP.4 instead of the default MSOLAP.2

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.
See this article for more information:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/sqltact/2016/09/25/sql-ssrs-express-edition-cannot-connect-to-azure-sql-databases/
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DSView'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
The feature: "The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)
Hi, I have encountered the above mentioned error while doing an SSRS project. And from the research, it seems like it is SQL server related issue.
I am trying to access a remote SQL server....so I was wondering how can I get rid of that error?
Do I have to install SQL server Standard edition on my local machine or the server that I am trying to access should be installed with Sql Standard edition?
I have got Express editions installed on both my local machine and the server...
Thx
From Books Online:
Report data sources must be SQL Server relational databases that run
locally in SQL Server Express.
Features Supported by Reporting Services in SQL Server Express.
With SQL Server Express you can only use a Data Source where the database engine is from the same instance running SSRS.
If you need to connect to other instances your only options are to get a backup restored to your local instance or to install a SQL Server edition that allows remote Data Sources; most likely Developer for your own needs or Standard or above for any production instances.
It depends on what's allowed under your specific licencing agreement.
A neat way to get around this (that just worked for me) is to add a Linked Server on the Local machine to point to the server that hosts your remote data source.
Then modify your Dataset query in the SSRS report to look something like this...
select * from openquery(REMOTE_SERVER,'Put your original query here');
I have TFS2012 with MSSQL on my single server.
I am getting the following error in Microsoft Excel to generating reports(graphs) for TFS Queries (from project admin account, connection by the network).
TF208093: You cannot use work item queries to generate reports in Excel on this server because it is not configured for reporting
At the same time there is NO error when i connect with windows server admin credentionals
any ideas?
Try use http://tfsadmin.codeplex.com/ to check the users permissions in SSRS.
I have two virtual machines runs on my laptop, let's say their name are VMApp and VMDB, and both are runs the same OS, Windows Server 2008 R2.
On VMDB, I installed all SQL Server 2008 features except the Reporting Services. in contrast, I installed only SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services on VMApp.
I run Reporting Services Configuration Manager on VMApp and point the Server Name to the VMDB's computer name, then I got an error message
"A connection to the computer cannot be established"
I enabled the named pipe from SQL Server Configuration Tools on VMDB, but I still get that error message on VMApp.
I think the problem is not network connection because the VMs are connected in same domain network and they could ping each other.
Sorry for this dumb case because I am newbie in SQL Server, and I really appreciate any help from you guys!

You cant set the DB path to SERVERNAME\INSTANCENAME on the configuration manager. There isnt even that option. First you set the server:
and then the DB:
where exactly are you having your issue?
FYI: try to enable SQL Browser on VMDB or to connect by IP if you cant enable browser
I have the following scenerio:-
1) Server 1 - SQL Server 2008 R2 Express - Collation SQL_Latin1_General_CS_As
2) Server 2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard - Collation SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
I want to move the database from Server 1 to Server 2.
I tried backup and restore but does not work may be because of different collation. I also tried export but I'm getting some error. Please help me solving the issue.
The way is to use ssis (dts) wizards or, if the db is small - to do db export-import with data export option with help of data exporting embedded in management studio, and finally - try to do simple detach-attach of db
There is separate Database Publishing Wizard, available for download
Overview
SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard enables the deployment
of SQL Server databases into a hosted environment on either a SQL
Server 2000 or 2005 server. It generates a single SQL script file
which can be used to recreate a database (both schema and data) in a
shared hosting environment where the only connectivity to a server is
through a web-based control panel with a script execution window. If
supported by the hosting service provider, the Database Publishing
Wizard can also directly upload databases to servers located at the
shared hosting provider.
Optionally, SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard can integrate
directly into Visual Studio 2005 and/or Visual Web Developer 2005
allowing easy publishing of databases from within the development
environment.
