Hello,

I've looked around and seen suggestions to enable remote errors but it's not clear to me how for a tier 2 environment much less production. I can navigate to the exact configuration on my development box, but even without the EnableRemoteErrors configuration enabled, I am able to see the specific error when a report fails (e.g., missing unit conversion for an item). When I hit a report error in a tier 2 box or production, I'm given a generic /For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors/. The question is simply how do I enable the EnableRemoteErrors configuration on a tier 2 or production instance? Are there any other solutions available?

By the way, I do not know if all SSRS errors will result in the same message returned.

You won't be able to enable remote errors in UAT and production.

The best is to enable this on the DEV environment, reproduce and resolve the error before re-applying package to UAT.

The link provided by Mohamed would help you do that.
