Dynamics 365 Online SSRS Report Deploy

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi

We are currently using Dynamics 365 online and are using Visual Studio 2012 to create reports and import them back into Dynamics.

We are trying to deploy these reports to SSRS with the view to using a scheduler to email them out.

We can successfully use and view data from CRM in Visual Studio using CRM fetch. The report successfully deploys to SSRS but when we run it in the web browser we get the following error:

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'MSCRMFETCH' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
We are confused why the reports would run in VS 2012 using the CRM Fetch but not on SSRS. We have checked the rsreportserver.config and added the MSCRMFETCH extension.

Can anyone help?

    Hi Colin,

     in the Visual Studio, you have installed report authoring extensions.

     There are, also, extensions that need to be installed on the SSRS server, but it only works with on-prem CRM:

    technet.microsoft.com/.../hh699807.aspx

     (so that's to answer "why".. but there is no workaround - you can't use your own SSRS server with the online version)

    Thanks Alex, appreciate your quick response.

    Do you know of any other way i can schedule a weekly email with a CRM report/views attached?

    Not really. One workaround might be to set up a local reporting database and a nightly job to bring data to that database (using SSIS, for example). Then you can run SQL reports off that data on your SSRS server (and, so, you can schedule them etc).

    You can, possibly, use third-party products(such as XPeriDo, for instance), to generate documents/pdf files in the workflows. Those are not SSRS reports, though.

    Hi Colin

    I would take a look at XperiDo from Invenso (although they have just been purchased by XpertDocs).  You can send out automated emails using XperiDo service and trigger these or via a workflow assembly which they also provide.  Of course it's a paid for service.

    Thanks
