SQL Server 2012 PowerView & PoverPivot in combination with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have been reading articles on the internet about this, and I am little bit confused. I understand this is also changed since in SP2013. Could someone with experience clarify.
1. It looks like Power View has become a part of Reporting Services and can not be installed without Reporting Services, is this correct? If this is true, then what is this
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577 If not, why do I see a lot of links referring to PowerView as a part of Reporting Services? for example
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/615462/Configure-Power-View-Reporting-Services-Features-o
2. Do I need Analysis Services in order to use PowerView, is other words is Analysis Services a requirement?
3. Where do I run the SQL Server 2012 Setup? I was assuming that I need to run it on SharePoint in order to add and register dll's on the SP servers, they are needed in order to create Service Applications (PowerView & PoverPivot). However in pictures
on the
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/615462/Configure-Power-View-Reporting-Services-Features-o link I see they are adding features to SQL instance. So do we run it on SharePoint or SQL server? If we run it on SharePoint server, what to do with instance name?
If on SQL server, how will SharePoint server get dll's in order to create Service Applications?
4. Can SQL 2008 be used for PowerView & PoverPivot configuration databases? I mean a scenario when SharePoint has 2012 versions of PowerView & PoverPivot DLLs (i.e. PowerView & PoverPivot Service Applications created
with SQL2012 version), but  configuration databases itself for these applications are in SQL 2008? I know that such a scenario was supported with SSRS on SP2010(you could simply run the SQL2012 setup on SP server and add SQL2012 SSRS, later when you configure
SSRS in SharePoint mode SQL 2008 database could be used as a SSRS configuration database)...
Thanks in advance!

1. Part of the confusion comes from the fact that there are several versions of powerview: powerview for SharePoint and PowerView for Excel. But yes, for SharePoint integration it's part of SSRS. (If you're not talking about SharePoint, then you can create
and use PowerView in Excel. No SSRS or SharePoint required. But, the link you provided is for PowerPivot for SharePoint. This provides additional functionality for folks that want to surface PowerPivot workbooks in SharePoint. (which is different than PowerView).
(PowerPivot = tabular data mode in excel = the ability to create pivottables/charts with millions of rows of data in Excel with jaw dropping performance (sorry for the advertising speak, but in my experience, it's true).  PowerView = the ability to create
dashboards / eye candy / other neat visualizations like maps for data that is stored in a tabular data model (PowerPivot or SSAS in tabular mode)).
2. No. PowerView was originally designed to use "tabular data models" as their source of data. There are two ways to create a tabular data model: An SSAS instance in tabular mode, or an Excel Workbook with a powerPivot data model (PowerPivot is the excel
version of the tabular data model). So, if you have a workbook that has data loaded in through PowerPivot, you can create a PowerView report in that workbook and surface it with excel services, with no SSAS needed.
3. On a SharePoint box. The only way to install SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode is to install SSRS on a SharePoint WFE. (The databases they use will go on the SQL box, but the bits for SSRS go on the SharePoint box)
4. According to the following doc, SharePoint 2013 only supports SSRS 2012 SP1 (which means only SQL 2012):

  • Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

    All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
    I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
    the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
    settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation.  The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
    Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

    In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012.  But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum.  They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

  • Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

    Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

    As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
    One of the following:
    The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
    The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
    Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
    make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

  • Can we use SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?

    Is it possible to use external SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?
    Having this implemented we can generate reports, query data and it would become very very powerful to use.
    Or
    Is there a way to keep on using existing content databases and using external SQL Server as a secondary data storage at the same time. So I want it to be like redundant data in SQL Server.
    Thanks 

    Hi,
    Not sure if I understand your question correctly, SharePoint has its own content database storing SharePoint list data, we can use SSRS/SSAS integated with SharePoint mode to use sharepoint list as datasource to generate reports.

  • SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Displays Error With "New Query" and Intellisense Works Intermittenly

    I was upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 was upgraded with SP1 the same day.  This is x64 machine. 
    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio      11.0.2100.60
    Microsoft .NET Framework      4.0.30319.261
    Operating System      6.1.7601
    Problem 1) With SQL Server Management Studio, selecting "New Query" a warning box is displayed: "The 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010Package, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010,
    Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=netutral, PublicKeyToken=null' package did not load correctly.    The problem mayhave been cuased by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension.  You can get more information by running the
    application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file ...\AppDate\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.  Continue to show this error message?
    Problem 2) In a Query Initellisense works intermittently but most of the time it will not display anything.  I have tried Edit|Intellisense|Refresh Cach size and also seperately, Edit | Intellisense | List Members but neither has helped.  Also
    tried different selections for Tools|options| T-SQL | Intellisense| Maximum Script Size; no luck either. 

    Hi WallyJim,
    For your first problem, possible workaround:
    In Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs), right click the Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 Optional Update 1 program and select change. Remove the VisualStudio2010 integration.
    Then, install the EnterpriseLibrary Configuration extension from Microsoft via the Extension Manager in VS2010. This will allow you to launch the configuration editor from VS2010, but will not be installed for SSMS.
    For more information, please refer to
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/620532/error-message-on-new-query-window-opening.
    For your second problem, the following conditions might affect the behavior of IntelliSense:
    There is a code error above the cursor.
    The insertion point is inside a code comment.
    The insertion point is inside a string literal.
    The automatic options are turned off.

  • RDL Reports are not working after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 in the SharePoint integration Mode

    I am using Reporting Service Integration mode with SharePoint. SSRS is installed on separated machine of SharePoint stacks in Integration Mode. Everything was working properly and I could create/edit/modify RDL reports(parameters, Datasource, Subscription)
    inside SharePoint and Document Libraries.
    But after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, on opening RDL reports inside SharePoint I receive this error message. 
    The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation
    I should mention that SSRS is installed in the SharePoint integration Mode and there is no SSRS management console.

    Hi Hedayat-Abedijoo,
    According to your description, you are using Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, and everything worked fine before you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2. After the package is installed, when you open RDL reports, the error occurred: The
    permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation.
    According to my search, there may be two reasons for the problem:
    This is caused when the application pool account that runs the SharePoint Web application you are on in IIS and the application pool account that SharePoint believes is running the site differ. This happens if the application pool account is changed directly
    in IIS instead of through SharePoint (using the approved method).
    This error can be caused when Kerberos authentication has been set up correctly and delegation in a double hop scenario will succeed, but Reporting Services integration has been set up for Trusted Account rather than Windows Authentication. This causes
    SharePoint to continue to impersonate the logged-on user when contacting Reporting Services; when Reporting Services compares the application pool account to the user account making the request, they are not equal.
    In this case, we can solve the problem by changing the application pool account in IIS back to the previous account and set AuthenticationTypes to RSWindowsNTLM only. For detail information, please refer to 8.3 “The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User'
    are insufficient for performing this operation” in the document:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee384252(SQL.100).aspx
    If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

  • Access 2007 ADP to SQL Server 2012 with extended protection

    Hello,
    I have a Access 2007 ADP client connecting to an sql server 2012. This works fine with standard security configuration, but when I activate extended protection on the SQL server, the Access client cannot connect to the server. I am using integrated security
    with a domain user and get the error message
    "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication."
    In sql server logfile I find:
    "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090346, state 46 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: The Channel Bindings from this client are missing or do not match the established Transport
    Layer Security (TLS) Channel".
    Is there any "easy" solution other than developing a new client based on an up to date Office version or Dot.Net?
    Regards,
      charles-f

    Well, I have no problem connecting to the sql server from my pc using ssms with my domain account. I have also sucessfully create a odbc connection using the "SQL Server Native Client 11.0" driver and my domain account. My account is in a trusted
    domain, so this seems not to be the problem. 
    To me it rather looks like if Access is using an old driver which does not support the tls encryption required by the extended protection settings.

  • Unable to uninstall sql server 2012 from Windows 7(ultimate) 64-bit SP1 version.

    I am trying to install sql sever 2012 on my m/c but it's giving me error after partial installation.
    Now I have successfully installed Sql Server 2008 R2 on my machine but when I am trying to uninstall 2012 sql server from my machine its giving an error regarding unsupported OS. However as mentioned earlier I have Windows 2007 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) installed
    on my machine which is included in valid platform for sql server 2012. Also I installed visual studio 2013 on my machine but it existed with error SqlServer\LocalDB not installed.

    Hi pritamk,
    According to your error message, as other post, you can uninstall SQL Server from command line, inaddition, another workaround is that change the compatibility mode of setup.exe to Vista SP2, then run “Remove” option from the control panel. You can refer
    to the following steps.
    Browse to your SQL setup bootstrap folder, For SQL Server 2012, this is the path "C:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\".
    Go to Setup.exe file and right click on Setup.exe. Then go to properties and click on "Compatibility" tab. Under "Compatibility mode", click on Run this program in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)". Then Click on "Apply" then "OK".
    After that go to control panel -> Programs and Features -> and remove SQL Server 2012
    There is similar issue about uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0 from control panel. You can review the following post.

  • Some of the SQL Server 2012 are not getting monitored in SCOM 2012 SP1.( basics monitoring is happening, expect SQL role)

    Found that all the SQL servers are getting monitored, expect few servers which are having SQL server 2012 role.
    proxy is enabled for these servers, when I checked discovered inventory for SQL 2012 database unable to find these servers in that list.
    and other servers having SQL Server 2012 monitoring properly issue is with only few servers.

    Hi,
    thanks for the all the input, we are using service account as windows account instead of action account !!
    will that also affect discovery of SQL role?
    and also found that there are many alerts in SCOM console, with alert description :
    SQL Server cannot authenticate using Kerberos because the Service Principal Name
    (SPN) is missing, misplaced, or duplicated.
    please let me know how we can resolve this issue, will it affect SQL discovery as well ?

  • SQL Server 2012 - Capacity Limits by Edition

    I have a question about the capacity limits of SQL Server 2012.
    The documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143760.aspx points to an interesting limitation of the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition:
    Enterprise Edition with Server + Client Access License (CAL) based licensing is limited to a maximum of 20 cores per SQL Server instance.
    This sounds like a technical limitation. How does the Enterprise Edition know that it is running in CAL based licensing and not in Core mode? I know that older Editions like SQL 2000 had a tool to set the license mode. Is there a similar tool available for
    SQL 2012?

    Hi Tron,
    Once the decision on the licensing vector is made, the DBA or organization must decide whether to license under the Server & CAL model, or under the Core-Based Licensing model. Server & CAL has been around for years, and simply refers to the model where
    one license applies for the server on which SQL Server is installed (note that multiple instances are allowed) and one CAL applies for the user or application service accessing the licensed SQL Server. One CAL is required for every user or application service
    regularly connecting to SQL Server.
    Please refer to the articles below for the details.

  • Sharepoint 2007 using sql server 2012 database server

    We still have an old SharePoint 2007 farm that runs on SQL Server 2008 and Reporting Services 2008. I would like to migrate this app over to SQL Server 2012. From what I gather SharePoint 2007 supports SQL 2012 if you are running WSS service pack 3 and
    SharePoint server service pack 3 I am already on SP3.  So my question is who all here is running SharePoint 2007 on SQL 2012 and have you had any problems? 

    Yes I have an environment that is SPS 2007 wSP3 and SQL Server 2012, and have been doing this for 2 months. So far, no problems. There have been issies with User Profile services, but those turned out to be unrelated.
