FIM Reporting, 3 servers needed?

Hi all,
Very short question. For FIM 2010R2 reporting you need 2 additional components:
-SCSM Dataware house server
-SCSM Management
I know we can't install SCSM & Dataware house on the same server. Is the following topology supported:?
Server1: SCSM Dataware house
Server2: FIM Service, Portal and SCSM Management
Or do I need another server(let's say Server3) dedicated for SCSM Management?
Kind regards.

FIM reporting -- Run FIMPostInstallScirptsForDatawarehouse.ps1 script

We have 3 servers and
1. Server 1 -- FIM Service
2. Server 2 -- Service Manager server + Sql Server 2008 r2 with (ServiceManager DB on instance 1 +DWStagingAndConfig, DWRepository, and DWDataMart DB on instance 2)
3. Server 3 -- Data warehouse server
We have installed FIM reporting and MPSyncJob is successfully over. Next step is to run FIMPostInstallScirptsForDatawarehouse.ps1 on Data warehouse server but The FIM Reporting post installation scripts required to execute
.\FIMPostInstallScriptsForDataWarehouse.ps1
scripts in the Data Warehouse server. However, this script requires access to the "SQLCmd" tools and the "SMCmdletSnapIn" snapins. These two components are both present
when the SQL server resides in the Data Warehouse server. In this scenario that condition is not true. In this procedure, we will run the FIM post installation powershell script in the SQL server. We will create a PSSessionConfiguration in the Data Warehouse
server that will get called from the remote SQL server to execute the "SMCmdletSnapIn".
To run the script i was following the steps on this link social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/17916.troubleshooting-fim-install-fim-data-warehouse-support-scripts-on-a-remote-sql-server.aspx
But in creating PSSession i am getting Access Denied error .
So is it possible, if i will install SQL server management studio on Data Warehouse server as i will get SQLCmdlets of powershell in Data Warehouse server so i can run the script directly on Data warehouse server without creating PSSession
Will it work ??

Hardware capability for FIM Reporting

I am doing some capacity planning for a FIM 2010 R2 deployment and trying to understand the hardware requirements for the Reporting feature. Based on the diagarm below, it looks like the performance is primarily driven by two factors: System
Center and SQL. Even the performance of System Center depends on SQL. So it all comes down to SQL horsepower. The rest of the servers (FIM, SCSM, SCDW) may not need much muscle power (I might be wrong though). What is your experience when planning
for Reporting? What kind of challenges one can experience? Btw, I have a userbase of 100K and the change rate (# of requests per day) I am expecting is about 6%. What kind of hardware capacity would you recommend?
Thanks!

To start with, the picture is indeed really great … but it’s missing (or not emphasizing enough) one important component – SCSM’s Service Manager database.
As for the capacity question, we've seen the biggest impact/load on the SCCM databases, both Service Manager and Data Warehouse (mainly DWStagingAndConfig) – so yes, SQL is what
drives all that. Also, we haven’t tried SP1 yet, so what we observed was still on SCCM 2010.
Anyway, here are few pointers from our experience:
1. SCSM Service Manager DBs and Data Warehouse DBs should be installed on different SQL instances (has to do with the nature of the DBs) and preferably on different SQL servers.
And ideally separately from other FIM component DBs.
2. SCSM Service Manager DB can easily grow over twice the size of your FIMService DB (with indexes taking a lot of space), and it’s transaction log can quickly reach crazy sizes
especially during initial load. This is the experience from running it just for few months, it might change after longer usage.
3. From SCSM Data Warehouse DBs the only one you need to worry about is the DWStagingAndConfig. In our environment size wise it was comparable to FIM Service DB, but the observed
IO during ETL jobs was just crazy – I’ve seen graphs of it generating 300-400MB/s read IO on a 150GB DB for over 10h straight (with plenty of RAM on the SQL box).
4. Overall it seems like latency to the DB files is one of the main factors driving performance of FIM Reporting (not to mention IO) – even to a point where SAN storage might
not be the best option here. Like Tomasz wrote, we were looking at setting up both SCSM components on two dedicated physical servers with local SQL and DBs on SSD drives … but didn’t get that far yet.
When I’m writing about FIM Reporting performance I’m referring to a number of individual changes (queued in the ExportLog table in the FIM Service DB) that can be extracted from
FIM Service to Service Manager in an hour – initially we were able to process below 200k records per hour, and after several tweaks, SAN reconfiguration, etc, we were almost able to double it. There isn’t any average correlation between number of requests
and number of entries in the ExportLog table, it all depends on type of changes and how many are a part of individual requests. To just to give you an idea, we observed 20M records that were added over a 7 day period (avg 120k per hour), during which the only
activity on FIM Service were approximately 20k SSPR registrations – highly customized (with confirmation emails flying around and some custom attributes being set), but still just SSPR. As you can imagine, with that level of activity we needed to push the
processing rate way over what we were seeing as FIM Reporting was barely being able to catch up in real time.
I hope this will be at least a bit helpful

FIM Reporting and SQL collation

In our existing FIM 2010 R2 implementation, we used the default collation of SQL 2008 R2, which is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
However, reading some articles, I got the impression that SQL server will need to be installed with Latin1_General_100_CI_AS collation for installing System Center 2012. I also read that FIM Service database will need to be in the same collation
(i.e. Latin1_General_100_CI_AS). This means we will need to rebuild the SQL server for FIM service.
However, reading the following article, I get a different impression. As long as the collation across all the SQL servers is the same, we should be good. Also, it is actually recommended to use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS rather than Latin1_General_100_CI_AS.
In fact, The SCOM data warehouse installer will always install the data warehouse with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS regardless of the SQL Server collation.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2012/05/24/clarification-on-sql-server-collation-requirements-for-system-center-2012.aspx
Can anybody please confirm the requirement?

Thanks Brian
I am planning to put ALL FIM roles onto two nodes behind F5. I understand that FIM reporting has to be installed with FIMservice so yes I want to install FIM reporting role onto both FIMService nodes. I understand that I CAN do this from your response (thankyou)
because "there's a safeguard in place to ensure that only one server processes the reporting jobs at a time if it's enabled on more than one FIM Service server
Can you explain what or how this safeguard works - specifically which FIMService node will run this and how the other FIMService node (2) will pick up the job if the first FIMService (node 1 )fails - do I have to configure anything ?
Brian- with respect ; is Tomek's reply incorrect in the context of my configuration - otherwise I would need a standalone FIM Service server (not part of the F5 virtual server) running Reporting with no FIM reporting HA (beyond Hyper-V or other single node
HA options) ?
I realllllyyyy appreciate this feedback and discussion as I have found very little w3 or forum information about load balancing and HA for FIM reporting (I don't mean the SCSM or DW components)
Thanks again

Installing FIM Reporting in Productrion Server with mutilple portal

Hi,
I have 5 FIM Portal Server in production. I need below clarification.
Can you confirm if I can install FIM Reporting in just one server which have FIM Service installed on that?
Or
Should we run this on every FIM Service Portal [Suppose we have 5 Portal Servers]?
Can someone clarify my doubt?
I understand FIM Reporting is a component of FIM Service. So FIM Reporting installation should not depend on how many portal production architecture have, it can be installed on one of the FIM Service Server.

FIM Reporting really has nothing at all to do with the portal directly:

FIM Reporting alternative

Hi,
So we are aware of the FIM Reporting option using SCSM & SCDW. Do we need to use System Centre?
I am not really that clued up on SC or SQL ...so what are other alternatives if we need
1) FIM Reporting
2) Long term storage of records for audit purposes (and report on these)
Thx
SK

SCSM and SCDW are products within the System Centre suite itself, and you need both of those to enable FIM reporting. I'm not sure if you can license just those two products by themselves (although I suspect you should be able to) without getting the entire
System Center Suite (which has a lot more stuff in it)
FIM uses SQL to store everything, so in theory you always have the entire history and all the data in SQL. FIM Reporting just makes it easier by pulling out this data and presenting in a format you can easily query and customise.
This is purely my opinion, but FIM reporting is quite a heavy component and can be tricky to setup. I know there is a third party plugin which can do a better job, just can't remember the name of it!
There's a great blog about FIM reporting you might want to read

FIM Reporting ETLScript PowerShell Script for SCSM 2012?

Hi,
The FIM Reporting Deployment Guide is great, however on a few occasions it forgets to mention where you meant to execute things (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj133855(v=ws.10).aspx) .
For example, if it wasn't for the screenshot in the article, we would not have known that we need to run the ETLScript from the FIM Service/Portal server.
Everything until the ETLScript has thus far worked; and we have deployed the Service Manager 2012 console on the FIM Service/Portal server (since we are using SCSM 2012 for FIM Reporting).
However, it appears that the ETLScript (in the deployment guide) has been written for SCSM 2010.
So, has Microsoft or anyone published an updated SCSM 2012 ETLScript script?
Thanks,
SK

Could this be it?

Installing FIM Reporting in FIM 2010 R2 with SP1

I tried to install the Reporting component. I have FIM 2010 R2 with SP1 and SCSM 2012. I get a error saying I have to install the KB2561430. This is apparently a hotfix for SCSM 2010 SP1. I thought that FIM R2 with SP1 supports SCSM 2012 as written:

Installing FIM reporting...

Hi all
We currently have a working single-server installation of FIM (FIMService, FIMSyncService, FIMPortal) and I'm looking ways to expand the installation with reporting features, with SCSM 2012. I was thinking about going with the 2 server configuration.
What should I install on the box I already have, SCSM Management console correct? Does it need a SQL instance?
And I build another server which also has SQL and I'll instal SCSMDW there?
What service accounts does SCSM and FIM reporting features need?
Thanks all!

You are looking of ways to expand the installation? Is this to meet any particular requirement? Are you looking for high availability?
For Reporting Services and SCSM there is a fairly large database footprint required, I have personally just implemented it for a customer into test and we decided to go with a dedicated SQL Cluster.
This would be a good place to start https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj133853(v=ws.10).aspx
I would ensure you have the FIMService, SyncService etc DBs backed up with the encryption keys and a warm FIM server standing by if you are doing this in prod.

Clustered Reports 9i Servers

Hi,
Trying to setup two reports 9i servers in a cluster (NodeA.repserv and NodeB.repserv) but having some problems getting them to sync.
The servers are installed on seperate mid-tiers on the same subnet.
Having problems with one server creating a job and the other trying to present it, but because they are using their own caches either a wrong report or an error results.
Getting some confusing information researching MetaLink.
Wondering if anyone knows:
Do I need a central cache for the servers?
How do I get both reports servers in sync as far as job_id generation?
TIA,
Jim

Report on Training need management

Hello,
we have to report on training needs by employee with delivery method : we need a report to show booked and not booked for all training needs for all employees with the delivery method of the training.
Is there a standard report? can we create a query?
please advise
BR,
K.

There is no standard report for this.
You can create a query BUT your requirements won't be met in a single query. Report on employees booked for trainings is easy. Remember though, that ad hoc query only displays EXISTING records not records that are not there e.g. employee who ARE NOT booked to trainings with certain delivery method.
Heres what you do: activate the Rel. BE Type/Att in V_T77KV_2 for Person (or other otypes you want to report on). You do this so that you'll have direct relationship between D and P. Remember that Delivery method is stored in the D object type not in E.
You might have ideas on using E as start object in your infoset. Sure you can display the 'attended by' relationship between E and P but you won't be able to filter by Delivery Method because, like i said, it is stored in the D object type not E. You hear.
Heres what you do next.
1. Create a query for the employee population you want to report on e.g. all Permanent employees.
2. Create infoset with starting object P. Include 034 relationship to D. And all infoytpes of D object.
3. Create a query for all employee with that population (Permanent Employees) who have relationship P 034 D and then select the Delivery Method as parameter. The search result would show all employees who have attended that training with the delivery method you specified.
4. You cross-check this list with the result in step 1 to get the list of employees who HAVE NOT attended the training and then wham bam thank you maam. now give me points. lol

I have SSRS parametarized report in that one data set have repeated values with query parameter . but while am mapping that query

Hi nancharaiah,
If I understand correctly, you want to pass distinct values to report parameter. In Reporting Service, there are only three methods for parameter's Available Values:
None
Specify values
Get values from a query
If we utilize the third option that get values from a dataset query, then the all available values are from the returns of the dataset. So if we want to pass distinct values from a dataset, we need to make the dataset returns distinct values. The following
sample is for your reference:
Select distinct field_name from table_name
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Custom reports for servers managed by administrators

Hi,
I'm trying to create a report using the report builder but I need some helps. First I have added the attribute "Managedby" in my system discovery method.
Now i want to create a report that display the server name, the OS, and the managed by attribute. How can I do that ?
any helps ?

Here are few links that should get you started with reporting:
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2014/01/24/create-custom-reports-for-configmgr-2012-with-report-builder/
https://sccmgeekdiary.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/
Basically you need to find out where the ManagedBy -data is stored, probably in v_R_System like noted here:

Hi experts,
in standard sap report S_ALR_87012103 i need to add a previous account field can any one help me.
Thanks in Advance.
RVI

Dear RVI,
when You run the report then You can add by ALV the following two field that are hidden:
G/L Account     22     10
G/L Account     23     10
The first refers:
General Ledger Account HKONT
    This field contains the number of the G/L account to which the
    transaction figures are updated.
The second refers:
G/L Account Number SAKNR
     The G/L account number identifies the G/L account in a chart of
     accounts.
I hope this helps.
