SSRS for Azure

Hi there,
Looking at the recent article on the sunset clause for SQL Reporting on Oct 3, I'm wondering if I can still purchase SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) running on a Azure Virtual Machines (VM)? I actually want to point a reporting solution to an Oracle
database local on my network.  I'm unsure if this is even possible.
Any help would be great.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn528853.aspx
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
According to your description, you want to use Oracle database as data source, then run SSRS on Azure Virtual Machines.
As you mentioned, Azure SQL Reporting is officially discontinued. However, only the Azure cloud implementation of SQL Reporting is discontinued. All other forms of Reporting Services technology are unaffected. In Reporting services, it’s supported to use
a variety of data source types, including Oracle. So in your scenario, you can purchase SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and use Oracle database as data source running on a Azure Virtual Machines.
Reference:
SQL Reporting
Data Sources Supported by Reporting Services (SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

  • Diagnostics not working in web role for Azure SDK 2.5.1

    I am working with Azure SDK 2.5.1, mainly on the new designed diagnostics stuffs. However, I found I cannot get it run for my web role.
    So, I created a cloud service project, added a web role. Then, I appended one Trace message at the end of Application_Start in Global.asax.cs:
    Trace.TraceInformaction("Application_Start end.");
    After that, I right clicked the WebRole and opened the Properties tab.
    In the diagnostics config window:
    General: I choose 'Custom
    plan', also specified the storage account, keep the 'Disk
    Quota in MB' as default '4096'
    Application Logs: 'Log
    level' switch to 'All',
    others kept as default
    Other tabs are in default config settings
    After I deployed the project to cloud, I found some unexpected things:
    There is no WADLogsTable exists
    in Table storage. That's very strange, if I use a Worker Role, it would work as expected. So in web role, I just cannot find the Trace logging?
    For the performance counters, since I am using the default config with 8 counters, I can only see 8 in WADPerformanceCountersTable table
    storage. In my assumption, over time, there would be more and more values of this 8 counters transferred to this table. But it was just not happened, after several hours, it still had that 8 counter values.
    I just thought the diagnostics for Web Role just crashed or not working at all. Meanwhile, I checked the logs located at "C:\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.PaaSDiagnostics\1.4.0.0\DiagnosticsPlugin.log" in
    server, at the end of this file there is an exception said some diagnostics process exit:
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
    at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)
    at Microsoft.Azure.Plugins.Diagnostics.dll.PluginConfigurationSettingsProvider.LoadWadXMLConfig(String fullConfig)
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] Failed to load configuration file
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Information: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] DiagnosticPlugin.exe exit with code -105
    From MSDN,
    the code -105 means:
    The Diagnostics plugin cannot open the Diagnostics configuration file.
    This is an internal error that should only happen if the Diagnostics plugin is manually invoked, incorrectly, on the VM.
    It doesn't make sense, I did nothing to the VM.
    As I said above, I just did very tiny changes to the scaffold code generated by Visual Studio 2013. Did I do something wrong or it's a bug for Azure SDK 2.5?
    By the way, it seems everything is ok for Worker Role.

    Hi,
      This issue could be an internal issue, I do not have any update on this as of now. There was a similar issue due to a regression last month that has been resolved, however i dont think this issue is related.
      Please follow the below article on how to enable Diagnostics and let us know if it works.
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/
      I will let you know if I have any update on this issue from my side.

  • Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.

    Hi,
    Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.
    In general it is no problem to generat SSRS reports, but an custom one i get issue with.
    The Error:
    An
    error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    Query
    execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
    ExecuteReader:
    CommandText property has not been initialized

    Hi SaiTech,
    According to your description, when you render report on SCCM 2012 R2, you got the error message.
    According to my knowledge, the issue can be caused by following reasons:
    Select permission not granted to ConfigMgr reporting account. We need to open the SQL management console and open the properties dialog box of configmgr db, grant select and execute permission to ConfigMgr reporting account.
    Reporting Services Web Service URL or Report Manager is false. Make sure Web Service URL and Report Manager URL are correct. Restart SMS_Executive service and reinstall Reporting Service Point, then please render the report again.
    Report timeout. Increase query and report timeout.
    If the problem remain unresolved, please provide detailed information of SRSRP.log (default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft  and Configuration Manager\Logs) and reporting services error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL
    Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles), it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Best Practice while configuring Traffic Manager for Azure Website

    Hi Team,
    I want to understand What is the best practice while we configure traffic manager for Azure website.
    To give you the base, Here let me explain my requirement. I have one website which 40% target audiences would be East US, while  40% would be UK and rest 20% would be from Asia-pacific.
    Now, What I want is Failover + Performance based Traffic Manager Configuration.
    My thinking:
    1) we need to create 1 website with 2 instances in each region (east us, east asia, west us for an example). so, total 3 deployment of website. (give region based url for the website)
    2) create traffic manager based on performance and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonperformance
    3) create traffic manager based on failover and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonfailover
    4) create traffic manager and ?? don't know the criteria but add both above traffic manager here and take your final url for end user.
    I am not sure (1) this may be the right approach or not (2) if this is right, in the 4th step which criteria we should select while creating final traffic manager round-robin/ performance/ failover?
    after all these if use try to access site from US.. traffic manager will divert that to US Data-Centre or it will wait for failover and till that it will be served from east-asia if in configuration, east-asia is my 1st instance?
    Regards, Brijesh Shah

    Hi Jonathan,
    Thanks for your quick reply. actually question is bit different. Let me explain you different way.
    I was asking for recommendation from Azure Traffic Manager team. whether my understanding is correct or not.We want Performance with Failover.
    So, One azure website we have: take an example todoapp. I deployed that in 3 different region. now, I want to have performance based routing as well as failover based routing. but obviously I can't give two URL to my end user. so, at the top of that I will
    require one more traffic manager. So,
    step 1: I will create one traffic manager with performance criteria named: TMForPerformance.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
    step 2: I will create one more traffic manager with failover criteria named: TMForFailover.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
    step 3: I will create one final traffic manager with performance criteria named: todoapp.trafficmanager.com where I will add these two traffic manager instead of 3 different region's website.
    Question 1) Is it correct structure if we want to achieve Performance with Failover or Is there any better solution?
    Question 2) in step 3, what criteria we should select? performance/ round robin/ failover

  • Can a Worker Role process call Antimalware for Azure Cloud Services programmatically?

    I'm trying to find a solution that I can use to perform virus scanning on files that have been uploaded to Azure blob storage.  I wanted to know if it is possible to copy the file to local storage on a Worker Role instance, call Antimalware for Azure
    Cloud Services to perform the scan on that specific file, and then depending on whether the file is clean, process the file accordingly.  If the Worker Role cannot call the scan programmatically, is there a definitive way to check if a file has been scanned
    and whether it is clean or not once it has been copied to local storage (I don't know if the service does a real-time scan when new files are added, or only runs on a schedule)?  

    Hi,
    I would suggest you have a look at this article:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/10/30/microsoft-antimalware-for-azure-cloud-services-and-virtual-machines/, please note the Microsoft Antimalware Client and Service is not installed by default in cloud service, please try to use the PowerShell
    cmdlet, Set-AzureServiceAntimalwareExtension to enable antimalware in your cloud service. Here's some more info:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn771718.aspx

  • Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services?

    Hi all;
    I was talking with a Sql Server expert today and learned that Azure Sql Server can take up to a minute to respond to a query that normally takes a fraction of a second. This is one of those things where it's really valuable to learn it when architecting as
    opposed to when we go live.
    Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
    We will be placing the cloud services in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client.
    Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
    thanks - dave

    hi dave,
    >>Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
    For this issue, I have collected some blogs and document about best practices for azure cloud service, you can view them, but I am not sure they are your need.

    >>The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client. Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
    For your scenarioes, If you'd like to communicate with each instances, I recommend you refer to this document (
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh180158.aspx ). And generally, if we want connect the client to server on Azure, the service bus is a good choice (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-using-service-bus-queues/
    If I misunderstood, please let me know.

  • Unable to install Eclipse Plugin for Azure

    I am unable to install the Eclipse Plugin for Azure.  I have Eclipse Indigo and have installed the Azure SDK 2.3.  When I try to add the site http://dl.msopentech.com/eclipse in the Install New Software window I get an authentication pop-up.
     When I try my Microsoft ID it fails authentication.  The instructions do not mention any authentication.  What should I put in here?

    Hi,
    This plugin requires Azure SDK 2.3. This can be downloaded using the Web Platform Installer (WebPI) at
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252838. However, if you don’t have it installed, when you create your first Azure deployment project, the plugin will automatically install
    Azure SDK 2.3.
    Also, you could download the sdk from GitHub (https://github.com/MSOpenTech/WindowsAzureToolkitForEclipseWithJava ) and manually install . And you could refer to this blog
    (http://java.interoperabilitybridges.com/cloud ).
    Please try it.

  • Physical Disk Management for Azure

    I'm currently trying to troubleshoot one of my clients Azure environments. I find that the IOPS are significantly slower than my local servers. Is there any information about what kind of physical infrastructure Microsoft is providing for Azure / is there
    a way to get hardware isolation?

    Hello,
    Have you seen the following article?
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn197896.aspx
    As you can read on the above article, the greater the quantity of disks the greater the IOPS you will get. 8 disks x 500 IOPS = 4000 IOPS.
    How much IOPS you have on local server? Match that amount to the quantity of disks as explained in the article.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    Based on your issue, I am afraid that it is out of support range of this forum. So I suggest you could ask this issue directly to this
