OLAP AS Connection Weirdness

I have a stand alone win2k3 report server(i.e. SQL is not on the box).
RS SP1 is installed
I have a SQLRS report developed in visual studio (also loaded on RS
box) that runs MDX against an analysis services cube. I am using the
OLE DB provider for OLAP services 8.0. (Note that we had to run
ptsfull.exe to get the pivot table service and 8.0 provider to be
available)
I can successfully preview the report in visual studio.
When I upload the report to Report Manger, the report bombs with...
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Get Online Help
Cannot create a connection to data source 'AAHP'.
(rsErrorOpeningConnection) Get Online Help
Database '<source name>' does not exist.
Am I missing something on the report server?
Thanks!Jim wrote:

The report bombs while uploading?
Do you tried to open the AS-DB in the analysis-manager on the reportserver?

Frank|||Sorry, no. The report bombs when I try to run it via report manager. I
can open the AS-DB and cube in Analysis Manger (which is Not on the
report server). I have a role setup that should allow the stored
credentials to successfully authenticate.|||Jim wrote:

Jim,
lets have a look into the eventlog of the server where the analysis cube
resides.
Source MSSQLSERVEROLAPSERVER.
If there errors with something like "NT-Authority/Anonymous" your
security-settings on the report-server are not valid (especially the
settings in internet service manager)
If there aren't any errors it become more difficult...Do you run ptsfull on
reportserver either?
regards
Frank|||Thanks for your replies.
No errors unfortunately.
I ran ptsfull on the reportserver.
As I mentioned I can connect to the AS server via Visual Studio. As
soon as I deploy the report (using a stored connection or shared
connection) to report manager it won't run. I'm running MDAC 2.8 on the
report server.|||Jim wrote:

Yes..i know. You can connect to the AS from YOUR workstation and your
reportserver can't as you wrote.
The problem should be between reportserver and AS-server but wich problem? I
dont know!

frank|||Just to clarify...
Visual Studio - where I am developing the reports - is on the report
server.|||Jim,
I am having same problems and was wondering if you found solution of this
one. Thanks.
