We
started receiving below errors after performing a report server database
restore.
An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due
to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.
(rsReportServerDatabaseError) Get Online Help Invalid object name
'ReportServerTempDB.dbo.TempCatalog'. Could not use view or function
'ExtendedCatalog' because of binding errors.
Or
The report server installation is not
initialized.(rsReportServerNotActivated)
In
short, above errors raise when there is mismatch or different names in report
server function between the source and destination servers.
The
easiest fix or the best way I prefer doing a report server DB’s restore is:
·
Take
backup of ReportServer database of source server.
·
Take
backup of Encryption Key of source server. (We need to take backup from Report
Server Configuration Manager)
·
Copy
both the backups files (ReportServer and Encryption Key) to destination server.
·
Restore
the ReportServer DB in destination server.
·
Restore
the Encryption Key in destination server.
Note: Remember we don’t
need to restore ReportServertempdb in destination server in most of the cases.
Another
thing to remember is to change the configuration of data sources and existing
reports to point to destination server instead of source server. We have to
make these changes manually in report URL after restoring report database.
Thanks!!
