Enabling SSRS remote error

There are two ways to do this:

• Using rs command
• Setting the DB properties

Using the rs command:

Step 1: Save the following in a text file and save it as ‘EnableRemoteErrors.rss’.

Public Sub Main()
  Dim P As New [Property]()
  P.Name = “EnableRemoteErrors”
  P.Value = True
  Dim Properties(0) As [Property]
  Properties(0) = P
  Try
    rs.SetSystemProperties(Properties)
    Console.WriteLine(“Remote errors enabled.”)
  Catch SE As SoapException
    Console.WriteLine(SE.Detail.OuterXml)
  End Try
End Sub

Step 2: Now open the command prompt and point to the rss file location (Start -> Run -> Cmd)

Step 3: Now run the rss file using the rs command, as shown below:

rs -i EnableRemoteErrors.rss -s http://servername/ReportServer

[Replace the ‘ReportServer’ with your report server name]

 Setting the DB properties:

This option is simple and direct. Except for the fact that you need the Management Studio.

1. Start Management Studio and connect to a report server instance.
2. Right-click the report server node, and select Properties.
3. Click Advanced to open the properties page.
4. In EnableRemoteErrors, select True.
5. Click OK.
