This article applies to:

• Marshal Reporting Console

Symptoms:

• Emailing reports fails
• Error message: Failed to call the Job Executor Service
• Additional error message: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
• Similar error messages may be displayed depending on the SQL connection method configured

Causes:

• The default website on the MRC server is configured on a port other than port 80.

Resolution:

To resolve this issue:

1. Edit the configuration files for the Marshal Reporting Console as detailed below. The files are located within the Marshal Reporting Console installation.
   • In each case you will find lines titled add key as shown below. In each line, for the ServerName substitute ServerName:Port (where Port is the port used by the website).
   • For instance:
     <add key="WebServerUrl" value=http://VM-EXAMPLE01:81/MarshalReportingConsole />
2. After editing the files, restart the Marshal Reporting Scheduler and Marshal Reporting Executor Services.

Notes:

• The most likely entry to require changing is the WebServerURL in all files.
• Before changing the ReportServer URLs, verify the correct port in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
• The path part of the URLs could differ depending on the version of SQL Server and the URL you chose for Marshal Reporting Console. Do not change the existing path information.
• Do not add lines to the config files. Locate and edit the existing lines.
