Hi All,

I need your advice. I had successfully moved all the ssrs reports from our production server(prod1) to development server(dev1). I had used backup and restoration(Encryption Key) method.

Issue : I had changed the Datasource(datasource1) connection string in report manager from prod1 to dev1 as shown below

Data Source=prod1;Initial Catalog=proddb

to

Data Source=dev1;Initial Catalog=devdb

Ideally this change should be reflected in all the reports which are using datasource1, ie now my reports which are on dev1 server should get the data from 'dev1' not from 'prod1'. But, this is not working!! I have to manually change the datasource of each report dataset. I have nearly 85 reports, so changing manually is not a better idea.

Please suggest me a better method to accomplish this.

Thanks for your time!!

Vardhan
