On a ssrs 2012 reporting server, I want to install load uploaded rdls to a test report server. The rdls load correctly, however the 'manage' dropdown list is not working. I need these rdls to connect the specific datasources. To solve my problem of needing to be able to connect the rdls to the appropirate datasopurces, I have the following questions:
1. Can you tell me what I can do to get 'manage' dropdown list is work? If this option does not work, do you have other options on how I can get this 'manage' option to work?
2. Is there another way I can connect the rdls to the correct datasources? If so, what are they? Should I just have the datasource setup correctly in the rdl so this change does not need to occur on the report server?
3. If there is a problem with connections on the test report server, what should I check on?

Your reports should be pointing to a data source name that will not change. Then when you move the rdl files between environments, you only need to update the data source and nothing else.
