Resolution

Use a live connection in the TDS or create a TDSX file.

Cause

When you publish a data source from your local computer to the server, you must make sure that the server has all the components that are required in order for other users to see and interact with the data source. Typically you need to publish a packaged data source (.tdsx file) that contains all the components for that data source.
