SQL Server Reporting Services Error : Server is not configured for RPC
When I ran a SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report on a server I got the
following Reporting Services error message:
Reporting Services Error
An error has occured during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set '...'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
Server '...' is not configured for RPC.
I later noticed that the server which is causing this error is defined as a
linked server on the SQL Server that the Reporting Services is installed on.
When I checked the Linked Server properties of the related SQL Server, I see
that the RPC is disabled. After I have enabled the RPC option the error that the
server is not configured for RPC has dissappeared.
An interesting thing about the linked servers when compared between SQL
Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 is that the default linked server properties
differ in options tab. For example RPC and RPC Out are both enabled in SQL
Server 2000 but these features are now disabled by default for SQL Server 2005.
You see below a linked server options tag defined in a Microsoft SQL Server
2000
And below is a linked server options tab that is defined in MS SQL Server
2005.
