titleResolution

SSRS subscriptions run un-attended on the Server, so the Datasource of the report should have credentials of a generic reporting account stored.

Generic reporting account

  1. Please contact TSM SaaS Support, to create a generic Reporting account, as additional setup will be required to configure the non-expiring password.

Configure the Subscription Datasource

  • Refer to site report for Database Server name, this is usually listed as CNAME. 
  • Replace <server_name> and <database_name> in the following template to build the connection string:
    • Data Source=<server_name>;Initial Catalog=<database_name>
  • Alternatively, the connection string can also be copied from other Datasources pointing to same database

    If one such account does not exist, please see the following article to first create a generic account:
