Hi,
We have sql server 2005 reporting services on server A & its databases on Server B. I'm seeing the below error message in the log files
ReportingServicesService!dbcleanup!4!4/14/2010-00:02:31:: e ERROR: Sql Error in CleanExpiredSessions: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

After analyzing, I came to know that ReportServer & ReportServerTembDB have the collations settings as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
But we should have the collation settings as Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS for ReportServer & ReportServerTembDB right?
I donot know why the previous DBA set the collation settings for ReportServer & ReportServerTembDB as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Please advice what steps I can take now
Thanks

Hi,

Were you able to resolve the issue? I'm facing exactly the same problem and trying to resolve it. Please post the steps you took to resolve the issue.

Thanks

If the issue is in SQL code, you can use COLLATE to convert one to the other:

select * from DB_CollationA..TableA A

join DB_CollationB..TableB B on A.Fld1 = B.Fld1 collate Latin1_General_BIN

I was able to resolve this issue and below are the steps. Hopefully it will be helpful to others

-- My collation issues were with the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases. I had to drop the ReportServerTempDB database and re-create it. After that I assigned the proper permissions to RSExecRole and restarted the IIS and Reporting Services and it worked.

Could you explain what you mean by changing the permissions to the RSExecRole?? I'm having the same issue and havne't been able to get this to work. Thank you in advance. If its easier my email is lanna.jones@gcmchealth.com

USE [ReportServerTempDB]

GO

/****** Object: Schema [RSExecRole] Script Date: 02/04/2013 13:45:30 ******/

CREATE SCHEMA [RSExecRole] AUTHORIZATION [RSExecRole]

GO

USE [ReportServerTempDB]
GO
/****** Object: Schema [RSExecRole] Script Date: 02/04/2013 13:45:30 ******/
CREATE SCHEMA [RSExecRole] AUTHORIZATION [RSExecRole]
GO

If you use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to create the new databases, then the permissions would have been set at creation time.

Did you lose all your catalog items and have to re-deploy? RSScripter is a great little tool that can script out all the Report Server items to .rss scripts that allow you to re-create everything.
