SQL 2005 Report Server

  • Has any successfully tied a report to fixed width text file on a network? When I report locally, it works fine. The following message is the result of running it from the network:

    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

    Cannot create a connection to data source 'BPMF41'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)

    ERROR [HY024] [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. ERROR [IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed ERROR [HY024] [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

  • Does the reporting services service account have rights to the location?

  • The report service is set to use the local service account. I am also able to navigate to the directory that has the text file without having to put in a windows username and password. I change report service account to the domain admin account to see if that works.

  • I switched the service to use a domain admin account. I know get the following message:

    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

    Cannot create a connection to data source 'BPMF41'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)

    ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

  • I tried running the SSRS on the domain account and I get the same result. Additionally, I tried using OLEDB but also ended up with the same result.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Are you runing on a 64 bit OS?

    Do you create your ODBC as a System DSN?

    Or did you create one using C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

  • I could be wrong, but from the error "ERROR [IM002]", it appears that you need to use the correct ODBC connection for the applicaiton.

    32-bit applications will only see a DSN created in %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

    64-bit applications will only see a DSN created using %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe

    If you installed the 64-bit version of SQL Report Services but created the DSN in the 32-bit %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe, then you will get that error.

    It would be interesting to how if you solved this.
