Problem with AS data source

I've successfully created a data source and reports against an Analysis
Services database.
The AS database is on the same machine as RS (let's call this Server
1).
I tried this against a second AS database (on Server 2), and it works
fine from Visual Studio, but when I deploy it to RS (on Server 1) and
try to run it, I get the error:
"...Cannot create a connection to data source 'DevServer'.
(rsErrorOpeningConnection)
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
Unable to read from the transport connection: An existing connection
was forcibly closed by the remote host."
I'm not doing anything complicated. It's just that the AS database is
on a different machine from the RS server. Shouldn't this work?
Ideas?
TIA,
JimHi Jim.
Could 'devserver' have firewall on for its network connection?

So my conclusion is that for a report that goes against an AS cube, RS
must be on the same machine as AS. But it would be great if I was
wrong.

I'm not a configuration wiz, but here are some things you could do until you
figure out how to get reporting services to correctly pass the user's
credentials to AS:
1) change the datasource in report manager for the OLAP conection to use a
domain user that has the necessary privileges on AS (preferrably a domain
account that's not an admin in AS).
Ideally, RS will pass the credentials of the user to AS during the
connection.
A good enterprise configuration for a smaller group could be to split sql
server, analysis services and reporting services across 3 boxes, preferrably
64bit.

Problem Viewing reports in Report Manager

I have successfully installed the sql server reporting services on a windows
2003 server. I have been able to deploy several reports to the report
server. I have even been able to schedule a report to execute and send out
via email every morning of the week.
Here's the problem. When I try to view a report using the report manager I
get a
The page cannot be found
HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer
error. I just don't get it. I can perform every other function using the
report manager except view the report online. Which of course is a problem
because I want to send my customers to the site to be able to view and run
reports.
Thanks for any help.

Regions Financial CorporationSounds like a security issue or a malformed URL. It's very difficult (from
here) to determine how you access report manager differently than the online
version, but could you post a URL that worked, and a URL that failed?
Dwayne|||Thanks for your help.
Here is a link that works
http://Servername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
This link of course brings up the default folders page
Click on a folder and go to the following url, which work

Click on a report in that folder to view the report using the following url
fail
http://servername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fTeamWorkLoad%2fProblemReport
The failure only occurs within the frame below. The header frame is still
displayed, therefore I am able to:
Click on the properties tab with the failed page displayed is successful
using the following ur
http://servername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fTeamWorkLoad%2fProblemReport&SelectedTabId=PropertiesTab
I have given full access permissions to the ASPNET account on the local
machine to the two RS folders.
I am convinced that it is a permissions issue. As a matter of fact I had an
instance installed in my test invironment which is Windows 2000 which worked
fine. But ever since the latest security updates that machine is having the
same issue.
Thanks again for your help.

on our test server but production server is exhibiting this exact behavior?
I can do everything but view the report. I can even run the report on the
production server through code and through http://server/reportserver.
Navigate to the folder/report and viola. I can enter parameters and run it.
But not in the report manager gui' I get a 404 when I press the view
report button. If I press it a second time I then get an error in the lower
left hand corner of IE. If I open it up it states that on Line 50 permission
denied and url = http://server/reportserver...blah...blah...blah

Problem viewing reports from report server

Hi,
I am new to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
I followed the MSDN tutorial and successfully created a basic report.
The preview of the report is fine within Business Intelligence
Studio. I successfully deployed it to http://localhost/ReportServer.
Look:
-- Build started: Project: Report Project1, Configuration:
Production --
Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
-- Deploy started: Project: Report Project1, Configuration:
Production --
Deploying to http://localhost/ReportServer
Deploying report '/Report Project1/Sales Orders'.
Deploy complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped
========== ========== Deploy: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
But, when I tried to check it out from the Web browser (either IE or
FireFox), the report is not displayed. Instead I saw the following
error message:
For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable
DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to
false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.
However, the report is downloadable. If you click on "Export", I can
export it to Excel or PDF.
Question: In which file, do I set the ProhibitDtd property on
XmlReaderSettings to false and pass it to XmlReader.Create method?
Thank you!Were you able to solve your problem ? I am having same issues

Problem using bcp with SQL MSDE

I successfully tested a bcp command similar to that below on a Small Business Manager database using SQL Enterprise Edition:
bcp "SELECT EMPLOYID FROM TWO..UPR00100" queryout testfile.txt -U login -P -C
I then tried using the same basic command for another Small Business Manager installation using SQL Desktop Edition. But I get the following:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 17
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] SQL Server does not
exist or access denied.
The only other difference I'm aware of aside from the SQL edition is that an
'sa' password exists for the second environment. But I put the password in
the bcp command.
Does anyone have an idea why the bcp command works in the one
environment but not the other?
Thanks,
Tom
