Deploying reports from VS2003 to RS2005

I was led to believe that you could deploy reports created in VS2003 to
RS2005. I have upgraded our test system to RS2005, but when I try to deploy
a report that has been created in VS2003 (RS2000), I get the following error:
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not
valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.40'. The expected
version is 'C.0.6.54'. To continue, update the version of the report server
database and verify access rights.
Was I wrong in assuming that it was backwards compatible? I realize I can't
create a report in VS2005 and deploy it to an RS2000 instance, but I thought
going the other way was acceptable?Hi dachrist,
Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup Support.
You can deploy the reports created in VS 2003 to a Reporting Services 2005
server.
The root cause of the error message you recieved is the report server
database is not the same version as the report server engine. This error
can occur if you move components or modify your configuration (for example,
moving a report server into a Web farm, and the existing report servers in
the Web farm are a different version).
please try to use the rsconfig utility to re-config the report server
database.
rsconfig -c -s servername -d reportserver -a SQL -u sa -p password
Thank you for your patient.
Sincerely,
