Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension - SSDT 2012 - Unable to connect Dynamics 365 online

Hello,

I am trying to connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 online from SSDT 2012 through Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring extension (Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch) but I am unable to connect.

I am getting following error.

Unable to connect to data source 'DataSource1'.The connection to server "https://<Organization>.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc" could not be established. Make sure that the connection string and credentials are correct, and try again.

Please see attached image.

After some googling, I have found something strange, I don't know whether it is correct or not.

It seems like, for Dynamics CRM 365 online version, we should have Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fetch into the Type drop-down in above specified image.

So, I am wondering, how to get this, because I have already downloaded the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring extension from this link.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hello,

Looks like you forgot to add org unique id to connection string - garethtuckercrm.com/.../fetch-xml-reports-for-crm-2011-online
