Visual Studio FetchXML Report with Shared Datasource

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

We are about to start developing a number of SSRS reports for CRM.

In the SQL world I would create a project in Visual Studio with a shared datasource which all reports would use. Perfect in a DTAP environment. Every environment has this datasource with the same name. The reports only refer to that data source.

In the CRM Online world and CRM Fetch it only seems possible to have an embedded datasource. So the report itself contains the URL and authentication properties. With multiple environment and probably a lot of reports pretty hard to maintain.

What is best practice with that? How do is set up a good project?

Thnx,
Jeroen

    You don't have to worry about the data source with CRM Reports since when you upload the report it is automatically repointed at a shared datasource for the organisation you upload to.

    Thanks Scott. That is a usefull insight.

    Only thing is that you still need to use an embedded datasource when uploading the report. It does not seem to accept a report with a shared datasource.
