Hi,
I have a new installation of SQLExpress ADV with RS installed on XP Pro.
When I try to upload an rds file (which has already been running
successfully on a w2k3 server), it uploads as a text file and NOT as a
Datasource.
The associated report does of course not work.
Anyone seen this before - or know how to fix it please '.
Thanks
Regards
GrahamHi Oxns,
Thank you for your posting!
From your description, my understanding of this issue is: you want to
upload the report data source file as a shared data source in the report
manager. If I misunderstood your concern, please feel free to let me know.
You cannot upload a report data source (.rds) file to create a shared data
source. An .rds file is used only in Report Designer. It cannot provide the
content for a shared data source item that you define and manage through
Report Manager or Management Studio. As an alternative to uploading, you
can write a script that creates a shared data source based on a .rds file.
Please refer to the sample script PublishSamplReports.rss file in the
Samples. By default, scripting samples are located in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples\Reporting Services\Script Samples.
Here are the articles for your reference:
