rsInvalidDataSourceReference

I am getting the following error:

The report server cannot process the report. The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)

All i did is created the datasource in the same location where my report files .rdl files are. instead of datasource folder on the report server.

everything works fine from my project vs2005, but if i run the report via localhost/reports, it gives the above error:

please help, i created this method since i have 5 different sites on the same server, all of the sites has reports with same datasource name many of them are common for that reason.

Thank you very much for the informartion.

Try this:

Open up Report Manager, and drill down to open your report. Click on the Properties tab, then select 'Data Sources' from the left pane. Click the Browse button next to 'Select a shared data source'. From here, navigate to the folder where your report is, and select the data source that is in there (since this is where you deployed to). Click OK, then Apply your changes.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am using a rss script to deploy reports and data sources. All my datasources lie in the shared location "Data Sources". With the script the data source and reports are deployed but the it gives the same error as posted by cplusplus1.

Here is the rss script to deploy report and data source that I used. Please help.

'To deploy Data Source

Public Sub CreateDataSource(ByVal name As String, ByVal extension As String, ByVal connectionString As String)
'Define the data source definition.
Dim definition As New DataSourceDefinition()
definition.Extension = extension
definition.ConnectString = connectionString
definition.Enabled = True
definition.EnabledSpecified = True
definition.CredentialRetrieval = CredentialRetrievalEnum.Integrated
definition.WindowsCredentials = True
definition.Prompt = Nothing
definition.ImpersonateUserSpecified = True
Try
rs.CreateDataSource(name, dataSourcePath, overWriteExistingDataSource, definition, Nothing)
Console.WriteLine("Data source {0} created successfully", name)

Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try

End Sub

' TO DEPLOY Report

Public Sub PublishReport(ByVal reportName As String)
Try
Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath + reportName + ".rdl")
definition = New [Byte](stream.Length) {}
stream.Read(definition, 0, CInt(stream.Length))
stream.Close()

Catch e As IOException
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try

Try
warnings = rs.CreateReport(reportName, parentPath, False, definition, Nothing)

Dim dataSources() As DataSource = rs.GetItemDataSources(parentPath + "/" + reportName)

Dim ds As DataSource
For Each ds In dataSources
If (ds.Item.GetType() Is Type.GetType("InvalidDataSourceReference")) Then
Dim NewDS As DataSource = New DataSource()
Dim dsRef As DataSourceReference = New DataSourceReference()

dsRef.Reference = dataSourcePath + "/" + dataSourceName
NewDS.Item = dsRef
NewDS.Name = ds.Name
Dim NewDataSources() As DataSource = New DataSource() {NewDS}

rs.SetItemDataSources(parentPath + "/" + reportName, NewDataSources)
End If
Next

If Not (warnings Is Nothing) Then
Dim warning As Warning
For Each warning In warnings
Console.WriteLine(warning.Message)
Next warning
Else
Console.WriteLine("Report: {0} published successfully with no warnings", reportName)
End If
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try
End Sub
