I'm having issues when working with shared datasets especially when working with parameters. Also when i try deploying my report it gives me an error saying "Shared dataset aleready exists".

If the dataset is already on the Report Server and you need to update it, please right click the project in Solution Explorer pane and select Properties, and then specify the OverwriteDatasets property to TrueBest Regards, Uri Dimant SQL Server MVP http://dimantdatabasesolutions.blogspot.com/ http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/

I have already done that. I face the issue when i try to deploy a report which uses the shared dataset.Nelton D'Souza MS BI Developer

Hi, have you tried to deploy the project too? Because this would guarantee that any shared dataset and report are updated on the reportserver.Regards, Arcus (working on SSRS 2008 R2)

Hi Nelton, If the shared dataset in the project has been deployed to the Report Server, when trying to deploy the entire project, you will receive a warning message like “Cannot deply dataset XXX to the server because it already exists and OverwriteDatasets is not specified”. So, if you only need to deploy the report, as Arcus suggested, please right click the report name in the Solution Explorer and select Deploy. In this way, BI Dev Studio will not try to deploy other items other than the selected report.
