ConfigurationSetting method - SetDatabaseConnection

  • Grein

Sets the report server database connection to a particular report server database.

Syntax

Public Sub SetDatabaseConnection(Server as String, _  
    DatabaseName as string, CredentialsType as Integer, _  
    Username as String, Password as String, ByRef HRESULT as Int32)  

public void SetDatabaseConnection(string Server,   
    string DatabaseName, Int32 CredentialsType,   
    string UserName, string Password, out Int32 HRESULT);

Parameters

Server
The name of the SQL Server instance that is used to host the report server database.

DatabaseName
The name of the report server database.

CredentialsType
The type of credentials to use for the connection. Values can be:

  • 0 - Windows

  • 1 - SQL Server

  • 2 - Windows Service

UserName
The account name used to connect to the report server database.

Password
The password used to connect to the report server database.

HRESULT
[out] Value indicating whether the call succeeded or failed.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT indicating success or failure of the method call. A value of 0 indicates that the method call was successful. A nonzero value indicates that an error occurred.

Remarks

When the CredentialsType parameter is set to 0 (Windows), the UserName and Password parameters must be set. The UserName parameter must be in the form domain\username, and the value must represent a valid Windows sign in.

When the CredentialsType parameter is set to 1 (SQL Server), the value passed in the UserName parameter must conform to the requirements of a SQL Server sign in name.

When the CredentialsType parameter is set to 2 (Windows Service), the report server uses integrated security to connect to the report server database, and the UserName and Password parameters are ignored. The Reporting Server Web service uses either the ASP.NET account or an application pool's account and the Windows service account to access the report server database.

When called, the SetDatabaseConnection method encrypts and stores the credentials and database information in the configuration file for the specified report server.

The SetDatabaseConnection method doesn't check that the report server can connect to the report server database using the data specified.

When set for the first time, the ConnectionPoolSize property is set based on the following processors: ConnectionPoolSize = #Processors * 75.

The SetDatabaseConnection method doesn't grant permissions to the specified account(s). You must call the GenerateDatabaseRightsScript method for each account that requires access to the report server database and run the resulting script.

Requirements

Namespace: root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\<InstanceName>\v13\Admin
