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:

Public Sub SetDataSource()
    rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
    Try
        Dim reference As New DataSourceReference()
 reference.Reference = "/Data Sources/PDataSet"
        Dim source As New 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)
    End Try
End Sub

 

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

Thanks,
Jin Chen
