Deploying Reports rss (however cannot get shared datasource to work)

Hi Borg239,

Tristan is right. I have tested the script, it only work while the data sources are in the same folder of the reports.

To store the data sources in other folders, we need to SetItemDataSources  as Tristan described.

Below is a sample code for your reference:

PublicSub
 SetDataSource()
    rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentialsTryDim
 reference AsNew
 DataSourceReference()
 reference.Reference = "/Data Sources/PDataSet"Dim
 source AsNew
 DataSource()
 source.Item = reference'The source name must be the data source name we used in the report.

 source.Name = "PDataSet"Dim
 sources As
 DataSource() = New
 DataSource(0) {}
 sources(0) = source
 rs.SetItemDataSources("/Reports/<report name>"
, sources)Catch
 e As
 IOException
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message)EndTryEndSub

 

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Jin Chen
