Configure logshipping for report server database

Hi All,
Could some one please let me know the steps to be followed to configure logshipping for report server databases.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Kranthi

Hi Kranthi,
Based on my understanding, you want to know how to change the roles between primary server and secondary server when primary server goes down. Also you want to know when you should install reporting service on secondary to make sure reporting service could
be used by application team.
When primary server goes down, you should manually fail over to the secondary server and make it your new primary server. Before changing roles between primary server and secondary server, you should initial role change. For more information, please refer
to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178117.aspx.
Besides, considering lots of time of reporting service installation and downtime during failover, I recommend you to install reporting service on secondary before configuring log shipping. When application team want to use reporting service with reportserver
database after you performing fail over to the secondary server, you can follow bellow steps to reset the database which will be used by reporting service:
Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager\Database.
Click Change database in the Current Report Server Database section.
On Action page, check Choose an existing report server database box. Click Next.
On Database Server page, type the secondary sever name then connect to it. Click Next.
On Database page, select the reportserver database from the drop-down menu of Report Server Database. Click Next.
Set the credentials, then click Finish on Progress and Finish page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue

Reporting Services offers limited support for using AlwaysOn Availability Groups with report server databases. The report server databases can be configured in AG to be part of a replica; however Reporting Services will not automatically use a different
replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue? is there any workaround for that..
Rahul

Hi.
With the AlwaysOn listener you should have a single DNS name to connect to regardless of which cluster node is active. Are you using the listener service? If not, please refer to the link below.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database. mail will not be sent.

only today errored ..
Kindly , help me
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Based on the error message "An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database." it seems the issue is caused by the Report Server catalog databases are
corrupted.
To fix this issue, I suggest that you use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to recreate the Report Server catalog databases. In addition, please make sure report server instance can connect to the report server database. For more details about Configure
a Report Server Database Connection (SSRS Configuration Manager), please see the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms159133.aspx
Besides, if the issue is caused by the connection to the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Server catalog database is timeout. Please refer to the following thread:

If the problem is still existed, I would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database

I have SQL server installed to I can connect to RS using my domain/user account. However, when I try to go to http://<machine_name>/Reports/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx, I get error as
    * The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online Help
          o Login failed for user '<machine name>\ASPNET'
    * I also noticed that after I installed RS,I do not see reports folder under C:\Inetpub. This folder does not exist, I manually created reports virtual folder in IIS and liked it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
    * Thsi is obviously permissions issue and I missing something so your help will be really appreciated.
During installation, I always specified user as domain\user.
Thanks

Hi NewToReporting,
From you descriptions, I know you have tow questions: 1.Why the SQL Server Reporting Services does not create virtual directories in the wwwroot? 2. Why the error "A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing" happen? If I have misunderstood, please do not hesitate to let me know.
One of the changes in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 is the removal of the Internet Information Services (IIS) dependency. So, we won't see report server virtual directories in the wwwroot folder.
The second problem is caused by the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' does not have permission to login the SQL Server database "Reports".
To solve the issue, please follow these steps:
1.Open SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager(Start - All Programs - Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools)
2.Go to "Database" tab.
3.Click "Change Credential"
4.In the coming dialog, fill the textboxes with this information(some textboxes are not modifiable )
Server: <the server name of the report server catalog database>
Authentication Type: Current User - Integrated Security (This will use the user we are login to connect to the database server.)
UserName:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Current User - Integrated Security", this textbox is not modifiable. )
5. Click Next
6.In the coming dialog, configure the following information:
Authentication Type: Service Credential(This will use the user the reporting services running under to connect to the report server catalog database. The user is the one we configured in "Service Account" tab)
UserName:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
Password:(If selecting "Service Credential", this textbox is not modifiable. )
7.Click Next to confirm the information.
8.Click Next to apply.
This will auto add the user '<machine name>\ASPNET' to login group, set this user to be the owner of report server catalog database, and also give this user "RSExce" role.
Now, we are able to connect to the report server.

Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

Hi,
I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
I have two questions:
1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
issue, but there is no answer :(.
Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.
M
Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4. The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003.
Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers. The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key? Nothing will be changed in the report server database. We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.
Any response will be greate appreciated. Thank you!
Li-hui Chen

Hi Lihui Chen,
According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:

From report server database how to know reporting services server

from report server database how to know reporting services server
Thanks

Hi Ajay,
If I understand correctly, you want to know
Reporting Services server name based on report server database. Based on my research, I find that the Reporting Services server name is the computer name which install the report server. So we can try to click Start button, right-clicking Computer,
and then clicking Properties. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, you can find your computer name.
Besides, the report server database is a SQL Server database that stores the following content:
Items, Subscription and schedule definitions, Report snapshots and report history, System properties and system-level security settings, Report execution log data, Symmetric keys and encrypted connection and credentials for report data sources.
For more information about report
server database, please refer to the following link:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Kerberos Configuration Manager for SQL Server: Access of system information failed!

I'm trying to use the new Kerberos Configuration Manager for SQL Server tool that was released recently to verify SPN on several SQL Servers, but any time I attempt to connect to a server I get the following error in the log:
6/24/2013 3:48:22 PM Info: Connect to WMI, \\<HOSTNAME>\root\cimv2
6/24/2013 3:48:25 PM Error: Access of system information failed System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalOperationException: An error (1332) occurred while enumerating the group membership. The member's SID could not be resolved.

Things I have tried to resolve this:
1. Verified that my account is a Domain Admin.
2. Attempt to connect locally without inputting any information for server/user/pw
3. Attempt to connect remotely using server/user/pw
I always receive the same error message and log: Access of system information failed!
Has anyone else run into this issue?

Update to this:
There were some invalid user accounts added to the Local Administrators group only showing up as a GUID. This caused the enumeration of the group to fail and generate the error in my original post. Removing those user accounts from the Administrators group
got past the enumeration error.
However, now when attempting to connect to the servers (locally or remotely) I get this error:
6/27/2013 10:24:24 AM Info: Connect to WMI, \root\cimv2

Hello,
We need to configure SSL for Portal Server. We are using J2EE 6.20 Patch 25 and EP6SP2P4. The ITS is already using https and it creats lots of Session issues since Portal is not in https.
Is there any OSS Note or How to guide to configure Portal to use SSL.
Thanks.

SQL Developer 2.1.0.63 - Export Data menu missing for SQL Server databases

Hi
The Export Data menu only appears for Oracle databases in this version, it does not appear for SQL server databases.
To demonstrate:
Press F9 to run query
Right click on Query Result data
For Oracle an Export Data sub menu appears
For SQL server no Export Data sub menu appears
This worked in previous versions.
Is this functionality going to reappear?
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
Looks like this is exactly the same problem for third party connections as I have the exact same issue for mySQL.
I had to apply 1.5.5 version to fix it.
Hope we're going to have this solved !
