Exception caught instantiating TERADATA report server extension SQL Reporting Services

Hi,

If you face an error in Reporting Services Log File (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSxx_xx.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles) such as :



extensionfactory!ReportServer_0-1!ea4!03/26/2013-08:20:15:: e ERROR: Exception caught instantiating TERADATA report server extension: 
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

This error is logged under the following circumstances:
  • After a new installation of SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services.
  • Each time the Report Server service restarts.
This error occurs because the Teradata extension is registered in the Reporting Services configuration file by default, but the Teradata assemblies are not shipped with SQL Server 2008 or as part of the .NET Framework. If the error message does not bother you, you can ignore the error when it is logged.
However, if you want to avoid this error, do one of the following:
  • Open the Reporting Services configuration file (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config), and remove or comment out the below. Do this only if you do not require functionality that the Teradata extension provides.






  • Install the .NET Data Provider for Teradata. Do this only if you require functionality that the Teradata extension provides. You can obtain the provider from the Teradata Web site. Reporting Services requires that the provider be version 12 or later but you need create account or use existing account to downlod.

    good lucks,
