SQL Server Reporting Services - data extension 'XML'

The reports based on XML is perfectly displayed in development Environment.

But than uploaded to Server, the following occurs:

  • An error has occurred during report processing.
    • An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'XML' that is not registered for this report server.

Help needed, thank you.

  • TDAVISJR

    Thank you for the answer!

    Is there are any way to revoke this limitation

    XML is a great technology, and it does not look like a "big deal" for Microsoft to let developers use XML as the DataSource for the Reporting, even in Express Edition.

    Thank you very much again,

    Alfred.

    By default, the RSReportServer.config file of RS 2005 should contain the registration for the Xml data extension in the <Data> section:

    <Extension Name="XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.XmlDPConnection,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions" />

    Is it present in your case

    Yes, SQL Express Advanced Edition is restricted to relational data sources. Check this link for more details: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/reporting/rsfeatures.mspx
