Answer 2

I was able to bulk update and fix the problem by updating the data source link using the T-SQL below.

 begin tran
update dbo.DataSource
set Link = c.ItemID 
from dbo.DataSource ds 
inner join dbo.Catalog c
on ds.Name = c.Name
and c.Type = 5
where ds.link is null

select ds.Link oldlink, c.ItemID 
from dbo.DataSource ds 
inner join dbo.Catalog c
on ds.Name = c.Name
and c.Type = 5
--where ds.link is null


select *
from dbo.DataSource ds 
where ds.link is null

rollback tran
-- commit tran

Answer 3

If you are using a report server, then perform the following steps:

1. Be sure you're on a version of IE this will not work correctly in Chrome
2. Go to your report server
3. Click on ... , on top-right of your report name
4. Click on 'Manage'
5. Click on 'Data Sources'
6. Make sure that Connect to: settings are pointing to the right places.

You would be amazed how many times this will happen because of a credentials issue or how the data source is setup. In the same case share data source will be in a different folder than the initial one. Maybe you will see a warning label.

Without more information about what kind of server you are using, this is all I can think of suggesting.

Answer 4

Initially I used a Datasourse that pointed to a local DB. When I create a remote ssrs and redply the project on server, I change manually the shared datasource.

Like I use a shared data source, every report has link to this shared datasource. The problem is that this link point to a old version of the datasource.

to solve the problem I refresh the link to the new datasource
