ReportReport
Posted on by kavithav 25

Hello,

I have created a report project in visual studio 2019 and the report works in preview.

This is the first line in xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

However, below error is thrown when trying to upload the rdl file in dynamics 365 (on premise)

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

1. I have confirmed the encoding is utf-8 and doesnt contain BOM.

2. I have uploaded the rdl file from bin/debug folder

3. project uses sql server 2016 or later as target version.

Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Since you are sure that there is no BOM, have you check the version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Report Authoring Extension?

    Download Dynamics 365, version 9.0 Report Authoring Extension (with SQL Server Data Tools support) from Official Microsoft Download Center

    It is published in 3/4/2021 and before that VS2015 is the last version that is capable of running the Report Authoring Extension to use FetchXML.

     

    If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

    Best Regards,

    Nya
