SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) Installation and

Configuration for SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reporting ServicesThis step-by-step guide can assist to install the necessary SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS)components and its configuration. Depending on your configuration some settings and directions may vary.For many more SCMDM step-by-step how-to guides please see Andreas Helland’s excellent collection of them.

This guide is organized in multiple sections: SQL 2005 Reporting Services Install SQL 2005 Service Pack Reapply SQL 2005 Reporting Services Configuration SQL 2005 Reporting Services Troubleshooting SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reporting Service Installation and Configuration

Due to the many screen shots in this guide, I have made them a tad smaller in size. I apologize, but you can easily click

on them to enlarge them, or use your browser to zoom-in your screen view (works great in IE8).

Assumptions

That SQL 2005 with SP2 or SP3 is used. That the SQL Server was not already installed with SQL Reporting Services.Otherwise please skip to the SQL 2005 Reporting Services Configuration section.

Using SQL Instances

From trial and error it appears that the SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reporting installation does support installation to anotherSQL Server Instance. But the SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) Scripts appear to do not..

SQL 2005 Reporting Services Installation

Use these instructions if you don’t have the Reporting Service installed. You can verify this by viewing the screen afteryou click “Change”.

Please bring up your Add or Remove Programs control panel applet:

Highlight the main SQL Server 2005 installation and click on Change.





Ensure that Integration Services is already installed..

Browse to the CD media, select setup.exe and click OK.

Accept and Next..





Click Next..

Click Next..

Ensure that there is no error and click Next.. You may need a reboot for example.





Click Next..

Select Reporting Services, click Next..

Leave on the Default instance, click Next..





Select System Account, if you don’t have a services account in the domain..

Click Next..

Click Install..





Click Next..

Click Finish.. Installation completed.

SQL Server 2005 Service Pack Reapply

Since you used the RTM media to install the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), you must reapply the Service Packhat was used previously to bring it up to the same code level as the rest of the SQL installation.

You can find the download to the Service Packs here:

SQL 2005 SP2 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d07219b2-1e23-49c8-8f0c-63fa18f26d3a&DisplayLang=en





SQL 2005 SP3 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ae7387c3-348c-4faa-8ae5-949fdfbe59c4&DisplayLang=en

Execute it:

Click Next..

Accept and click Next..





Verify that only the newly installed Reporting Services need to upgraded to this Service Pack..

Click Next..

Click Next..

This screen might appear if the Reporting Service service process is running on the server.

t can be ignored for now.. Click Next..





Click Install..

Once complete it may ask for a server reboot..

SQL 2005 Reporting Services Configuration

This section will verify and also fix any items that may not have been configured properly.t is all done through the Reporting Services Configuration console.

Now bring up the Reports Services Configuration tool..

t should automatically populate the local server name and instance in which the Reporting Services was installed.

Click Connect.





f not running, click Start..

We will now go through all the various sections on the left side of the screen. We basically need to resolve any sectionwith red marks.

f missing, click New.

nput a pool name, such as ReportServer, and select an account.. Click OK.

Click OK..

Click Apply..

Click OK..





Click OK..

Hit Apply..

Click OK..

f you didn’t apply the Service Pack before this step, the upgrade script may fail.

Also make sure that the Reporting Service service is running on the server, otherwise the WMI provider will not beavailable for the upgrade script to function..

You should now be able to bring up the http://localhost/reports page:





f you cannot see this page, please see the next section on troubleshooting.

SQL 2005 Reporting Services Troubleshooting

f you instead get an error message with “The XML page cannot be displayed” or 404 “Page cannot be found”:

Make sure ASP.NET is allowed on the web server, and that the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher is correctly installed:

Once set, go back into the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and make sure all the “green lights” are stillhere. You may need to touch the Web Service Identity section again!

Another possible error:

This can be fixed by:

1. Edited C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportManager\RSWebApplication.config

1. Changed <ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory> to<ReportServerVirtualDirectory>ReportServer</ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reporting Service Installation

Please download the SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reporting Services Resource Kit here:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=F72C0546-1B10-4636-96A5-A2455B1F77B3&displaylang=en

Picking the appropriate flavor of x64 or x86 or course to match your platform.. :-)Execute it and extract it somewhere.Locate and run the mdmreportingsetup.msi file to start the installation:

Click Next..

Accept and click Next..





f you select Custom you can see the different components:

Enter the server name on where the MDM Database is housed. Either remotely or the local server name if you arenstalling it on the same server.

Usually no need to enter the instance name which is default MSSQLSERVER.

Now enter the server name of the of the reporting SQL server.

Enter an account that has permissions..





Click Next..

Click Install..

t may take a few seconds..





Success!

f you receive error messages about failure and rolling back the installation make sure you tried the Reporting Serviceswebsite before you started the MDM Reporting installation and have a working SQL Reporting Services configurationbeforehand..

After you click Finish, this admin utility screen will then appear:

Enter the Reporting SQL server name and click Connect..Enter the MDM 2008 SP1 instance name and click Add..Click on the MDM Gateway Auth, and enter a valid account on the Gateway server(s) retrieved for the specified MDMnstance. Click Update.

Click Exit.

The reports will now appear on the http://server/reports web site.

Click on MDM Reports.





But if you try to use one of the reports at this stage:

You will find that they will all fail.. This is due to the reporting data not being replicated over yet..Final step is to get the first set of data in the Reporting database from the MDM database. This is done behind thescenes with SQL Service Integration Services (SSIS).

However the newly installed scripts must be kicked off manually the very first time. Thereafter it will automaticallyrefresh every 1 hour..

Start the SQL Server Management Studio application from the Start menu:

Select Start Job at Step..

Click Start..

Make sure it completes successfully.. If you receive an execution error make completely sure you have filled out all thenecessary fields on the MDM Reporting Admin Utility!




Congratulations! You should finally have some data in the reports and everything functional at this point!

SCMDM 2008 SP1 Reports

f you haven’t tried it, the MMC Add-in simply provides a “tree view” to the web reports which can be handy if you spendmost of your time in the MMC as the administrator.

Please see my previous post for more details on the SCMDM 2008 SP1 reports themselves:http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/mnielsen/archive/2009/01/12/scmdm-2008-sp1-reporting-services-overview.aspx
