Hello everyone,
Greetings! I just found this group after wasting hours trying to make
SSRS work with databases that are already created (that is, the DBA
created two empty databases for me, X and XTempDB).
I keep getting "this connection string is invalid can't use this to
connect to SQL Server" in the Database Setup tab.
The problem is that to create its own database, SSRS needs dbcreator
and securityadmin roles (please correct me if I'm wrong here). And I'm
having a helluva problem trying to convince the DBA to give me
temporary dbcreator and securityadmin roles!
Is there any document or
something that I can use to convince him that SSRS will not do
anything like recreating the login (because he said that the login has
already existed and has its role set up in many other databases)
Any help, pointers, suggestions, etc. is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
