Remarks

The table below shows header and permissions information on this operation.


SOAP Header Usage	(In) TrustedUserHeaderValue (Out) ServerInfoHeaderValue
Native Mode Required Permissions	Creating a new data source: CreateDatasource on `Parent` Updating an existing data source: UpdateContent on `DataSource` Updating data source properties: UpdateContent AND UpdateProperties on `DataSource`
SharePoint Mode Required Permissions	Creating a new data source: <xref:Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions.AddListItems> on `Parent` Updating an existing data source: <xref:Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions.EditListItems> on `DataSource`

If the .rsds extension is excluded from the data source name, an rsFileExtensionRequired error will be returned. If an .odc extension is given, an rsNotSupported error is returned.

If errors occur, the data source is not created.

The length of the Parent parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Parent parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.
