SSRS Query execution failed for dataset

Question

Have just deployed my Project on to my reporting Server.

I have multiple datasets which are referencing views which exist on the db on that server.

When I try to go into any report part I am getting this message:

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'dataset1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors 

Can anyone help?

Solution 1

I enabled remote errors to pinpoint the problem.

I identified that a column in a particular dataset (one of my views) was throwing an error.

So using a tool "SQL Delta", I compared the development version of the database with the live version on the reporting server. I noticed that one of the views had an extra column on the development server, that was not on the live version of the db.

SQL Delta generated the script I needed to run to update the view on my live db.

I ran this script, re-ran the report, everything worked.

I encountered a similar error message. I was able to fix it without enabling remote errors.

In Report Builder 3.0, when I used the Run button to run the report, an error alert appeared, saying

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
[OK] [Details...]

Pressing the details button gave me a text box where I saw this text:

For more information about this error navigate to the report server
on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
----------------------------
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)

I was confused and frustrated, because my report did not have a dataset named 'DataSet1'. I even opened the .rdl file in a text editor to be sure. After a while, I noticed that there was more text in the text box below what I could read. The full error message was:

For more information about this error navigate to the report server
on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
----------------------------
Query execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)

----------------------------
The execution failed for the shared data set 'CustomerDetailsDataSet'.  
(rsDataSetExecutionError)
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

I did have a shared dataset named 'CustomerDetailsDataSet'. I opened the query (which was a full SQL query entered in text mode) in SQL Server Management Studio, and ran it there. I got error messages which clearly pointed to a certain table, where a column I had been using had been renamed and changed.

From that point, it was straightforward to modify my query so that it worked with the new column, then paste that modification into the shared dataset 'CustomerDetailsDataSet', and then nudge the report in Report Builder to recognise the change to the shared dataset.

After this fix, my reports no longer triggered this error.

I experienced the same issue, it was related to security not being granted to part of the tables. review your user has access to the databases/ tables/views/functions etc used by the report.

Solution 4

I just dealt with this same issue. Make sure your query lists the full source name, using no shortcuts. Visual Studio can recognize the shortcuts, but your reporting services application may not be able to recognize which tables your data should be coming from. Hope that helps.

Solution 5

Like many others here, I had the same error. In my case it was because the execute permission was denied on a stored procedure it used. It was resolved when the user associated with the data source was given that permission.
