Title: Package Information for Reports Changed
Post by: teelee on 22 Jan 2010 09:20:42 AM
 
Hello All,
I have many reports that were created using data from our Data Warehouse. However, since the table structure, models, and some queries in the Data Warehouse has been modified, the package is no longer available to use with these reports.
Is it possible for me to use the same report structure as a template with the new package? If so, how can I accomplish this? I really need a solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
:)

Hi,

Open the report in Report Studio, then go to File -> Report Package and select the new package.  You will most likely get errors reported as it tries to validate the report and finds missing items, but you can then replace these items with items from the new package and get the report working again.

Regards,

MF.
