I am migrating RS reports from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012. As a first step I created a new solution in Visual Studio 2012 (Install includes VS 2012 Premium 32 bit, VS 2012 Update 2, SSDT-BI for VS 2012, SSDT-BI for VS 2012 Update and BIDS).
After creating the new solution I added existing rds and rdl files from my TFS production branch. When I open a report in the VS designer it opens without a problem. When I click on the preview tab the initial rendering of the report works fine. After I enter the parameters (a beginning and ending date) and click the view report button I get the following error message:
"An error occurred during local report processing. An error has occurred during report processing."
Consequently I'm unable to preview the report. If I build the report and deploy the report I get no error messages. If I run the report on the reporting services server it runs and renders the results without a problem. I'm just unable to render the results within the VS Preview panel.
Given how uninformative the error message is does anyone have an idea what I should investigate next to track down the problem?
