VS2015 + BIDS + CRM365 = Unable to Connect to Data Source

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I'm experiencing problems with creating SSRS report for Dynamics CRM 365. 

I have installed VS2015 with SSDT and BIDS.

We have one tenant in UK Datacenter.

I'm not able to connect from VS to CRM. I've tried workaround with TLS1.2 (so I've used Fiddler). 

Problem it's not with credentials or machine itself because I'm able to connect from same machine and VS2017 SSIS to same CRM instance. 

Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Prashant is right, you have provided a wrong url. You can refer below article on how to connect SSRS with CRM online.

    The purpose of the url you provided is for below use.

    You have entered wrong url . specify the connection String (this is the URL you use to connect to Dynamics 365) e.g https://disco.crm.dynamics.com
