Issue with deploying SSRS 2008 into SSRS 2008 Server

  • Hi Experts,

    our server got upgraded from SSRS 2005 into SSRS 2008. i developed my new report in VS 2008 - no problem. builds - no errors. However, when i deployed it into the server, this is what i see:

    The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. (rsInvalidReportDefinition)

    as if our server has not been upgraded. And i am pretty sure it WAS since i checked for SSRS2008.asmx page. We also have the old SSRS2005.asmx services. in other words, we have 2 2005 & 2008 services alongside on the same box.

    does anyone think it can be because it defaults me to SSRS 2005.asmx when i deploy my SSRS2008 report? did anyone experienced this issue before and can share the knowledge, pretty please?

    thank you so much.

  • I would not say expert but in 2008 you don't use asmx for web service if you are not using IIS for your deployment, check below for howyou create your url.

  • Thank you. i didn't confugure the Servers, i just checked to find out about 2005 & 2008 being present at the same time,

    Well, I just upload the rdl file manually, or deploy it from BIDS, just as i did in BIDS 2005. the error is the same. is it something different i must do when i deploy my reports on my end, please?

    thank you for your help.

    The above tells me you did not read the link I posted or you don't know the relevance of the url definition which means I am not sure I can help. All I can tell you asmx is Asp.net based web service url in 2008 Asp.net and IIS are not used by default. So either read the new url definition and how to create the new ones and change your url or use IIS to deploy.

  • Here is a thread Microsoft is explaining the url changes pay attention and make the changes needed if you don't your reports will not run.
