How to: Enable Remote Errors (Reporting Services Configuration)

You can edit the ConfigurationInfo table in the report server database to set EnableRemoteErrors to True, but if the report server is actively used, you should use script to modify the settings.

 

 

1. Create a text file and copy the following script into the file.

   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

2. Save the file as EnableRemoteErrors.rss.

3. Click Start, point to Run, type cmd, and click OK to open a command prompt window.

4. Navigate to the directory that contains the .rss file you just created.

5. Type the following command line, replacing servername with the actual name of your server:

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