First, so you can understand what happened along the way. When you deploy
the default is that the shared datasource does not overwrite. The reason is
so you can have a shared data source when developing that points to a
development database and then when deployed the datasource points to
production. So deleting and deploying again works (you can also force the
deploy to overwrite but I have never done that). Usually when re-deploying a
datasource the issue that comes up are the credentials. In report manager
open up the data source and make sure the credentials are correct.
