Design Database for Reports

I am using sql 2008 R2 SE. Currently I have separated out our reports databases that are being used for internal purpose. However these report databases are logshipped secondary databases being hosted on secondary server. The reason I separated reports databases
from the transactional databases is I didnt wanted the queries being used for reports causing blocking and deadlocks with queries being used by our apps.
However due to growth in data the queries that I used in the rdl files are taking longer time to run. So some reports are taking very long time to load and output the results. And since I am querying against the standby secondary database I cannot add indexes.
But the query execution plan suggests that adding some indexes would improve the performance by almost 90%. If I add these indexes to the primary database then its degrading performance as its causing slowness in the applications. And the applications and
the reports built are using different queries.
I want to take experts opinions on how to implement a better strategy for reports in this scenario. Experts please share your valuable thoughts.

For the similar scenario, i have implemented SQL Server Transactional replication.
My Scenario:
Server A, and the DB_name - XYZ. On XYZ DB needs run reports to avoid blocking and reports performance decided to configure replication on another server and install reports on different server
Server B, Replicated DB_name Rep_XYZ, Installed SSRS on server B.
Coming to the Index part - I didn't created any extra indexes on subscribed database. For your case some indexes will cause insert/deletions would be cause delay and overall performance will be degraded. You need to decide the which index are required.

ISSUE Sharepoint 2013 databases for reporting services on the second server SQL 2012

Hello,
I have server A: Operating system windows 2012 standard, SQL server 2012 standard
instance: Sharepoint contains data for sharepint
instance: Reporting should be contain databases for reporting
Server B:
Windows server 2012 standard contains installation Sharepoint 2013
Sharepoint works (without reporting services), it is OK - databases are located on server A:
My issue is:
When I have installed reporting services on server B, I have already installed SQL server 2012 on server B, it works.
I am able to create report in report builder adn place it in to sharepoint.
But I would like to use only one full SQL machine on server A:
When I reconfigure repoting settings on server A in central administration - manage service aplications,
On the SQL server A in instance reporting , there is automatically created databases. It is no problem.
But the first difference is, when I want to manage service aplication for reporting in
Provision Subscriptions and Alerts, there is information
SQL Server Agent state cannot be determined
When I want to create report in report builder, I have issue:
server A-7380mw016\reporting it means server A with full SQL server:
The Test of connection was successful
Then I have clicked test connection
I have recieved this screen with fail: Logon faild for user NT Authority\anonymous logon
My account belongs to SQL admin on server A (A-7380mw016\reporting) I do not know it is not possible to create report, when it is possible to test connection in the first step and in the second step, there is problem...
Please, can somebody help me?

Hi,
Since you are getting an Anonymous Logon error, it appears there may be a problem passing your credentials to the SQL Server Agent Service. This would indicate a Kerberos issue. See this thread for details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/46b7c773-6a77-435d-b471-cb9a6ec41c43/has-anyone-else-upgraded-reporting-services-to-denali-2012
Microsoft Virtual Academy: Breakthrough Insights using SQL Server 2012 : Analysis Services and Credible, Consistent data (Module 2) - Configuring and Securing Complex BI Applications in a SharePoint 2010 Environment with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/Video/hh858469
Tips from the video:
We are connecting to Reporting services using Kerberos when using Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode
For the account using reporting services, we just need a dummy SPN. We go to Attribute editor tab in AD for RS account. And then we will be enabled with Delegation tab.
In Delegation tab. I we are using claims to windows token, we need to use "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only"
There you have 2 options: "Use Kerberos only": It means I only want to delegate in the situation where the service that is doing the delegation actually has the Kerberos ticket to start with
"Use any authentication protocol" When we need protocol transition (like from NTLM to claims for intra farm communication)
We need to delegate this to SQL server.
Please check out these articles as well:

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?

Need to Extract Image from Database for Report

Greetings,
I have two databases that I could work with; both are for card access users. One is an old Access 98 database, the other is a SQL database,
In the tables I can "see" references to employee_photo and badge_picture_path respectively, but when I run the Report, the Image is not retrieved.
Any ideas how I can overcome this ?
I am trying to create a hard copy in a binder, so that new guards can thumb through the binder and familiarize themselves with employees.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
What format are the pcitures saved in. I believe they have to be either BMP or JPEG. Any other formats will not work in Crystal.
Have a look with the sample Extreme database. The Employee table has a picture field, very similar to what you are using. If you create a simple report with it, can you see the pictures?
Thanks,
Brian

With SQL Express, Data source should be local SQL DB.
With SQL Enterprise, Standard, BI edition, you can create Data soruce which are hosted on other servers.

Regarding Database performance for report creation

Hi,
Currently i have one database in that two schema one for table data and second for reports creation.But it is taking more time to display data because there is more load on first schema.
I want to create second database for report schema .But i have to access table data from first database .
1) There is one option to fetch data from first database is through DB Link . But i think it also takes more time to fetch data.
Is there any way i can access data from first database and i get more performance with creating new database.
Kindly give me suggestion . What should i do to improve reports performance?

1. Use Oracle Streams and replicate tables between databases. WHile using reporting, you'll refer to the second database
2. Create Standby database, it's the clone of your database where you can update it by adding archived redo log files from primary database

Error while saving layout for report

Using BIEE 11. (Win64 Server 2003 R2 - russian edition)
When designing layout for report and putting text field (dos'nt matter - russ or engl) - I get an error during saving - 'Error when saving layout' (trunslated from russ)
This happens only when putting text field, with other types of filds all is ok!
Where can I find more detailed info about my error?
Also when I choose layout from existing e.g. - Dashboard.xpt and save - I get the same error. When I cut off all text fields from this template - I can successfully save it.
Thanks

Any idea how can I display Previous Completed Cycle and Completion Date (i.e. the last two columns)?
Regards,
Vikrant.

hi vikrant,
You can a Cube at the reporting layer which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
You can populate these based on your logic in the field routine.
Hope it helps.

Hi Taruni,
You can connect to the database connection for all the reports through workspace in HFM.
Connect to HFM Workspace-->click on Explore option-->and click on Tools-->click on Data Base Connection Manager and change the respective connections from Production Instance to Test Instance with required information, and than you will be able to connect to Test database for all the reports at a time.

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,
