Sql-server – Migrating SSRS from SQL Server 2012 to 2016

It appears as if ssrs 2016 does not support IE9. The machine I was using to access the server remotely only had IE9 installed. When I used the IE development tools on the server itself to browse to the site using IE9 standards, I had the same problems.

You can use the replace value of XML DML command to modify the value stored in the connection string. I have put together an example below for you as a guide but please note that it is untested as I do not have access to a report server at the moment, it should at least point you in the correct direction:

WITH XMLNAMESPACES  -- XML namespace def must be the first in with clause.
(DEFAULT 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2006/03/reportdatasource'
        ,'http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner'
 AS rd)
,SDS AS
(SELECT SDS.name AS SharedDsName
       ,SDS.[Path]
       ,CONVERT(xml, CONVERT(varbinary(max), content)) AS DEF
 FROM dbo.[Catalog] AS SDS
 WHERE SDS.Type = 5)     -- 5 = Shared Datasource
SELECT [SharedDsName], [Path], [DEF]
  INTO #catalog
  FROM SDS;

UPDATE #catalog
   SET DEF.modify ('
    declare namespace rds="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2006/03/reportdatasource";
    declare namespace rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner";
    replace value of (/rds:DataSourceDefinition/rds:ConnectString/text())[1]
    with "new connection string"
');

UPDATE a
   SET a.[Content] = CONVERT(image, CONVERT(varbinary(max), b.[DEF]))
  FROM dbo.Catalog AS a
  JOIN #catalog AS b
    ON a.[Name] = b.[SharedDsName]
   AND a.[Path] = b.[Path];

DROP TABLE #catalog;

More information regarding the replace value of command can be found at Microsoft Docs.
