240Hello everyone and thank you for your time.
The Regional Discovery Service (RDS) is going offline on June 30th, 2021, so in 6 days from now.
I see they have posted a document on how to connect to it via "code" C# etc, but there has been no mention of how we will connect to it through visual studio using SQL Server Data Tools, which does not allow you to do anything but put in a connection string, a username and a password.
When developing SSRS reports in visual studio for Dynamics 365 online, one must have SQL Server Data Tools (This is what gives visual studio the option to create "Reporting Projects". One must also have the Report Authoring Extension 9.0 - This is what gives you the option of have a data source type of FetchXML.
In the past, we would put: https://disco.crm.dynamics.com;uniquename in order to connect.
I have tried every variation of that to try and connect to the global discovery service.
https://globaldisco.crm.dynamics.com
https://globaldisco.drm.dynamcis.com;unqiuename
https://Actual_url_to_clients_crm
https://Actual_url_to_clients_crm;unqiquename
I also tired a few others.
In every instance, I get the error: FCB 'EnableRegionalDisco' is disabled
So the question is, come June 30th, are SSRS reports dead? or has someone come up with a way to still make a connection?
P.S. I have a ticket open with MS right now about this, had to record a video and they are (hopefully) looking into it.
This is a pretty big deal. I'm also willing to take any work arounds no matter how bizarre. Thanks!
