I have written many SSRS reports, but am not that familar with deploying them or report models.

Basically, I am maintaining some reports that use report models. The server and database changed. I went into the project with the datasource and model and updated the server/database in the data source and deployed the datasource and the model. The reports still don't work. The error (in Report Manager) is:

"Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'".
I get the same error when opening the report project and trying to refresh the report.

What confuses me is in the report itself, the datasource has "Report Server Model" selected, but has a long semantic query that doesn't point to the model (that I can tell).

The report has the report model selected in report manager as the data source.

can you view code for report (the XML) and see if you can spot any instances of old server and database inside?

Yes, but there isn't any reference other than to the model. The model is in a separate solution.

Yes. Twice.

I can see the reference to the model in the code, but where do I see it in the designer? In the connection string is just that semantic query.

The DB was also upgraded to 2008 from 2005 if that matters.

are the databases in the server? if yes, you could do like


SELECT * FROM DB1.dbo.table
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.table
...

then use this as query behind for dataset in the report
