A question on embed custom reports in MP

[gcdollar]

Hi, I followed the instruction in the official SCOM2007 Report Guide to embed
my custom report in the MP. I design and preview the report in visual studio
first, and it worked fine. And then I copy the definition of the report
(right click the report RDL file and select view source ) to the MP as
follows:
<Reporting>
<Reports>
<Report ID="EventRate" Accessibility="Public" Visible="true">
<Definition>
[Paste content of the RDL file here...]
</Definition>
</Report>
</Reports>
</Reporting>

I also added a display string in the MP targeting to the report ID:
<LanguagePacks>
<LanguagePack ID="ENU" IsDefault="true">
<DisplayStrings>
<DisplayString ElementID="EventRate">
<Name>EventRate Report</Name>
<Description> SCOM 2007 EventRate Report</Description>
</DisplayString>
</DisplayStrings>
</LanguagePack>
</LanguagePacks>

The MP was imported successfully, but when I opened the Reporting section in
SCOM Operations Console, I do not see the Report I embedded in the Management
Pack. I'm sure the report is correct, because I created and previewed without
a problem in the Visual Studio.

Do I miss something else? When creating a report in visual studio, I
created a Shared Data Source - RDS file. This is not mentioned in the
official report guide, but do I need to something about it?

Thanks very much and look forward to some help.
