Posted on by owins 5

I am developing an SSRS report for a Dynamics 365 client.  I have developed reports for other clients without any issues, but for some reason I am unable to add any custom attributes to the FetchXML without getting the error mentioned above.  I have set up the Data Source connection string as follows:

https://[MyClientInstance].crm.dynamics.com;[UniqueNameFromDeveloperResources]

I used Advanced Find to develop the initial query and then copied the FetchXML in the Query window of the Data Source in SSRS.  I am able to refresh the fields.  I am also able to run the FetchXML in the Query Designer window.  It returns records, including all custom fields, without a problem.

The only time I am having an issue with the query is when I attempt to preview the report.

I am using Visual Studio 2015.

    Hi,

    This usually happens when the connection string is incorrect.

    Can you make sure:

    • Client instance is crm.dynamics.com (it could change depending on the region), for example, in my region, it is,  crm4.dynamics.com
    • Secondly, make sure the Unique organization name is correct (case sensitive).

    Let me know if you still face this problem.

    Best,

    Wahaj
