Shared Datasource Is Not Valid Error

Using Reporting Services (SQL Server 2008 R2), I have a VS SSRS project with 23 reports, all running off the same Shared Data Source.  They all execute in VS.  I have deployed the datasource, datasets & reports to server.  From the Report
Manager, I can execute all reports except 4, which have the same error:
The report server cannot process the report or shared dataset. The shared data source '22d600c2-a3d5-4178-8a39-d05361607ebd' for the report server or SharePoint site is not valid. Browse to the server or site and select a shared data source. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)
I have tried the following, without success:
1)verified that the datasource exists in the Data Sources folder, and is Enabled
2) Checked and reset the Shared Datasource to point to the deployed datasource in the Data Sources folder
3) Recreated & redeployed the datasource
4) Deleted the 4 reports on the server and re-deployed
5) Deleted the reports, used Upload instead of Deploy, then set the Shared Datasource to point to the one on the server
6) Verified that the Link column in ReportServer.DataSource is NOT NULL.  Actually have the same Link as the other 19 reports.  Verified that the GUID in the LinkID exists in Catalog table and is the id for the Datasource.
No matter what I have tried, for some reason, the GUID in these failing reports appear to get set to '22d600c2-a3d5-4178-8a39-d05361607ebd', which does not exist in Catalog table.  The other reports never fail, these reports never execute.  Anyone
have any ideas?

As I recall, I went into the Report server db and updated the Catalog table.  Open the table and you'll find your reports listed with a link to their datasource (in the DataSource table).  I found the 4 reports that failed had a different value
in the LinkID column than the reports that executed, even though they use the same shared datasource.
So I copied the good LinkID value (a GUID) into the 4 reports that failed, and then they ran fine.    For some unknown reason, there was an invalid value stuck in the LinkID column which pointed to a datasource that really did not exist. 
Go figure.

  • Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

    Hello,
    I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
    On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
    The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Thank's for your answers
    Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
    Dim report As New crPickingList
    ' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
    If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
          report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
    EndIf
    This error appears during  "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
    ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
    This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
    Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
    On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
    On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
    Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
    Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
    (I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)

  • Unable to share calendars - This sharing message is not valid - Outlook 2013 Exchange 2007

    Running Exchange 2007 latest and greatest service pack and rollup with Outlook 2013 fully patched. When users attempt to share their calendar, the recipient receives an email that says "This sharing message is not valid. All action buttons have been
    disabled" and "(Sender not verified) - Calendar".
    We're not using IMAP or POP. Was working in the past and stopped working.

    Hi,
    Is Exchange account the default account in Outlook?
    Does this issue occur on all users? (If no, please try to recreate problematic user’s profile to check this issue)
    Please check the following setting:
    Open AD users and computers.
    Right-click on problematic user to properties.
    Under General tab, check if the E-mail field is right.
    Best Regards.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Sharing - This Sharing Message is Not Valid...

    I have a user who is unable to share her calendar by sending sharing invitation. The invitation goes out but says "This sharing message is not valid. All action buttons have been disabled. Then where it should say the name of the user-Calendar, it says
    (SenderNot Verified) - Calendar. I have tried new profile, deleting entries in credential manager, cached mode off or on, deleting cached entries on the receivers end, etc. But still the sharing messages continue.
    We are on Exchange 2010, and she is using Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 with two domains in a single forest.  Recipients are a mix of Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013.
    Has anyone seen this?!?
    John M.

    Just came across this post while perusing for an answer to the exact same issue.  The user has Outlook 2013 and has successfully sent a calendar sharing invite to several users with a mix of Outlook 2013 & 2010.  However, there are a few
    users who receive the (Sender not verified), with the option grayed out to "Open this Calendar."  Tried same troubleshooting methods of creating a new profile, turning cached mode off, deleting/recreating offline address book; same result.

  • "Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

    Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid",  when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
    The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
    So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market.  I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file.  But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message. 
    I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
    Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

  • Product key not valid error while installing CRXI

    Post Author: JSC
    CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
    I purchased CRXI a few months ago, but waited till I had my new hard drive in place before.
    At the "user information dialog I entered the only product key code I could find in the case, attached to the third CD pocket in the case.
    Result:   "Product key code XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX is not valid or has expired."
    However I can see now that it is the activation code for "Cyrstal Reports Server XI R2"
    There are stickers in the case with a shorter code "14-5XXX8-0XXXXE"  I had also tried this code, but the error is the same.
    I hope I don't need an ealier vesrion of CR in place.  I hace CR9, however it is not here with me at this time.
    Any ideas

    I think you still have to install a profile on the device with that type of license... no?

  • "License Not Valid" Error on BOE XI 3.1 for Web-Intelligence

    Hey Everyone,
    This has been going on for sometime now. I downloaded the trial version ( BOE ) and installed the temSporary key in it. Now when I go to Infoview it doesn't show the option for Web-Intelligence document. So I went over to Rich Client and tried to log in. Now it gives me the error "License not Valid".
    The weird part is I can log into the Designer, DeskI , CMC , and it works perfectly, the only problems I'm getting are in WebI. I've tried doing a clean sweep and still it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Can you run the following query in Query Builder and check whether SI_ENABLE_WEBI is true ?
    SELECT SI_SYSTEM_INFO FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID = 4
    Also, have you tried using a different temporary key?

  • SQL Server SSIS SQL Agent Job Receiving "Option -Daily" is not valid. error message SQL Server 2008 R2

    I have seen this error posted on msdn before but  this seems to be a bit different.  Same story.  When I exec a SSIS package in BIDS it succeeds.  When I run it as an agent job it fails with the error "Option -Daily" is not
    valid.
    Here is the script that SQL Server "New Job" wizard created.
    /FILE "C:\Development\SSIS\Daily Report\bin\Daily Report.dtsx" /CONNECTION FlatFile2; "C:\Development\SSIS\Daily Report\base_daiily.csv" /CONNECTION "localhost.database";"\"Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=database;Integrated
    Security=True;Application Name=""SSIS-Daily Report-{5786B48C-481E-9951-B486486231AF}localhost.database"";\CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
    I had to clean the above up a little bit to block restricted information.  The error suggests that SQL Server is having problems parsing the string the wizard created.  Any thoughts regarding what is occuring here.
    Just my thoughts tomh

    why would you use new job wizard?
    Just create the new job and a new SSIS step in it.
    The error message looks like too abridged, but the issue actually might be with the parts

  • Save to web directory name is not valid error

    Hi, I typed my question a second ago and it took me to another screen.  I apologize if there is a duplicate somewhere else.
    I was trying to spare some room on my C: drive so when I went to save for web last time, I decided to save the images and html on D: drive instead of C:.    Ever since then, when I go to save for web I get this error message: "Could not complete this operation.  The directory name is not valid".   I even uninstalled PS and reinstalled it to see if the factory default settings might override whatever I screwed up!  Didn't help.  
    I really appreciate your help, I'm on a deadline working on my website and need this fixed so quickly!!!!!
    Thank you!

    That wouldn't be a "file" but a directory, also called a folder.
    So you would first look for a directory/folder named "Users", inside which you should find a directory/folder labeled with your own name (as a user).  Inside said directory/folder named after you there should be the directory/folder labeled "AppData".  If you cannot find the latter, then STOP immediately .  It would mean that we are not communicating at all and you're in danger of causing great harm to your machine!

    STOP AT ONCE !   I don't remotely understand what you're trying to say there, and that means that there's definitely a serious miscommunication here.  I said nothing about "sets of Photoshop files", nor do I understand what you mean by that. 
    Hopefully a Windows user will chime in to undo whatever confusion I caused and maybe even post a screenshot or two to show you what to do.
    Sorry about all of this.    I should have shut up right after post #5.  My bad! 

  • Sequencing OpenText Exceed with App-V 5 results in The Manifest Created During Sequencing is not valid error

    Hi,
    Trying to sequence Exceed v14 with App-V 5.0 results in the following error...
    The manifest created during sequencing is not valid.  Sequecning cannot continue, try sequencing the application again...
    In the seuqencer debug log there are a few entries:
    Error in ManagedFileNameInfoT::GetFileNameInfo(), FltGetFileNameInformation() ntstatus = The name requested was not found in Filter Manager's name cache and could not be retrieved from the file system.
    Anyone have any information on what this actually means or what can be done to resolve?
    Thanks

    Thanks Tomas, this app does create a lot of class keys, see below.  Do any of these look troublesome?  Apologies for the length of the code paste...

    How to remove a Windows Update in Vista
    If the fix works I recommend that you 'hide' it so that it doesn't get reinstalled automatically.
    Instructions below:
    If you don't want Windows to install an update, you need to hide it.
    Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    In the left pane, click Check for updates.
    When Windows finds updates for your computer, do one of the following:
    Click the link that tells you important updates are available if you have important updates to hide.
    Click the link that tells you optional updates are available if you have optional updates to hide.
    Right-click the update you don't want to install, and then click Hide update. The next time you check for updates, the update won't be automatically selected or installed.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • "Compliance and Audit Database domain account is not valid" error

    I am attempting to install MBAM 2.5 and on the configure reports page I am getting an error stating "Compliance and Audit Database domain account is not valid" when trying to specify the account. I am using the same account as the read only
    access domain user specified on the Configure Databases page.
    The account is not locked out and I reset the password but no dice. Any idea what is going on here? This is my second attempt at an install (removed all previous install pieces including the databases).

    I had the exact same problem. I had to add the account to the local administrators group in order to proceed. The installation then informs you that the account is an administrator at the end.
    I removed it from the admins group. Doesn't seem to have caused any problems. Everything is working OK.

  • Specified cast is not valid errors

    Hi all
    Sometimes, but not always, I'm finding that the Layer.Add, Cell.GlueTo and Window.Select methods throw errors similar to:
    Specified cast is not valid at System.StubHelpers.InterfaceMarshaler.ConvertToNative(Object objSrc, IntPtr itfMT, IntPtr classMT,
    Int32 flags) at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.IVLayer.Add(Shape SheetObject, Int16 fPresMems)
    I'm using VB2010, Visio 2007 and currently testing on Windows XP 32 bit. The program is a stand-alone .exe program using Visio via .NET interop. The same program, with the same data can run several times without problem and then once this error
    has been thrown, the same error will be thrown every time until the Visio file is closed and re-opened.
    This VB2010 code was derived from a VB6 program which has been working fine for 2,000+ users over a period of about 15 years.
    Unfortunately I've not been able to replicate these problems in a small test program which is making the debugging process rather tedious and it's another aspect of this problem which is worrying and confusing me.
    The program is adding a 100 or so shapes from a stencil and gluing lines between them. I've tried playing with the settings of such properties as DeferRecalc, EventsEnabled, InhibitSelectChange, LiveDynamics, ShowChanges and UndoEnabled as I thought
    Visio might be having a problem updating the screen or allocating memory to the undo manager or something. I've also tried Application.DoEvents.
    I've re-written some of my code to avoid using Window.Select which I was using to select shapes to create groups. I guess I could also re-write the code to avoid using GlueTo, but I don't think I can always avoid using Layer.Add.
    Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.
    Best regards
    Roger Billsdon

    Hi Paul
    Many thanks for your reply and I hope all is well with you.
    I spent quite a lot of time trying to replicate the problem in a small test program created from scratch. All the offending methods (Window.Select, Layer.Add and Cell.GlueTo) worked fine in the test program, as indeed they often do in my main program.
    I carefully compared all the project references and everything else I could think of in both the test and my main program. I added loops in the test program so that it added many shapes, etc in an attempt to create some stress on the Visio UI, Undo manager,
    etc. Not being able to replicate the problem in a small test program is one aspect of this problem that is worrying and confusing me.
    The main program is quite large (I guess about 60,000 lines of code) and contains code for many other functions. An alternative approach would be for me to take a copy of the main program and try chopping chunks out to degenerate
    it into a small test program. However, at present I have a looming project deadline so I'm now putting my effort into recoding to eliminate the Window.Select, Cell.GlueTo and, where possible, Layer.Add method calls. Fortunately Visio provides alternatives
    which seem to be working. For example, rather than Cell.GlueTo I'm setting the relevant cell formulae and instead of Window.Select to form group, I'm creating a shape, converting it into a group and then dropping the other shapes into this group.
    Back in my VB6 programs I had some problems with select and group so I think this conversion is worthwhile, but I don't recall having had any problems with Cell.GlueTo or Layer.Add. Because I don't understand what's causing the problem I'm concerned that this
    re-coding work is just fixing the symptoms without actually getting at the root cause.
    In general I am finding rather more problems and performance issues with VB.NET Visio programs than I did over all the years I used VB3 and VB6 to program Visio.
    Best regards
    Roger
