Deploy a data source via Report Manager

You can deploy both reports and the data sources used by
them in Report Designer. You can also deploy reports by
uploading them in Report Manager. But I can't find a way
to deploy data sources (not creating new data sources)
using Report Manager.
Ideally, when the developers have finished designing and
testing reports, I'd like to have them sending me both rdl
files and rds files so that I can deploy them into
production.
Can I deploy data sources using Report Manager?
JoeHi, data srouces are files with the .rds extension. I think you can deploy
them by uploading them using report manager.

data source. Are you sure that'll work?

server by uploading an RDS file.
