How come the SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio will not recognize my AdventureWorksDW after installation?

I am trying to do the tutorial for SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio, but I can't get the AdventureWorksDW to be recognized by it, when I try to connect to it.
I have tried to shut down, restart, downloaded a couple of different versions of AdventureWorksDW (I believe 2008 is the one I need), and tried to attach this AdventureWorksDW using SQL Server Management Studio 2008R2, but I cannot even do that! The instructions
for attaching a DB tell me to open Management Studio, then open a connection instance. But then I cannot find the database button to right click on, or the attach item in the menu that is supposed to be there with it.
I had installed AdventureWorks2008R2 previously and the SQL Server BIDS sees that, but of course I cannot do the tutorial without some serious mods if I do that. I have rebooted computer, closed and reopened the BIDS app, deleted and re-created the
OLE-DB connection in BIDS, but nothing works. What am I doing wrong? I've worked in mostly the Oracle world for most of my career so I'm not new to either DW or relational DB, but this one is driving me to pull my hair. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you! Is this correct?
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorksDW2008R2_data
ON
(FILENAME
=
'C:\SSIS Downloads\AdventureWorksDW2008R2_Data')
FOR
ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
I tried this and it gives me a cannot find file specified error, but my file IS located at
C:\SSIS Downloads
error is:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:\SSIS Downloads\AdventureWorksDW2008R2_Data". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)".
I will continue to play with it, thanks very much!
Try as below,
sp_attach_single_file_db 'AdventureWorksDW2008R2'
,'C:\SSIS Downloads\AdventureWorksDW2008R2_Data.mdf'

Deployment of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (2008 R2)

Looking for some guidance on deploying SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio (2008 R2). I have a requirement from our Data Warehouse developers, and they require the SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio deployed to
the server that will hold the production data warehouse. Is the SQL Server Business Intelligence development studio normally deployed on a production server?
I am hesitant about installing the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio since it's a development tool. I haven't seen anything that it is required to run the developed objects.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated.
Thanks.
DJ

Hi DonsJones,
The SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio (BIDS) is a client tool for BI Projects development and won’t be installed on the production server in most cases. For a DW/BI system, the BIDS is generally used to develop ETL packages, Data Mining,
and Reporting. The development activities should be performed in the Dev environment, and the eventually ETL packages or reports should be deployed to the production server or report server. For a production server that will run the ETL packages (usually in
SQL Server Agent jobs), SSIS should be installed on the production server.

If you can't see AppData folder, you could use following steps to show hidden files:
1. Open an explorer window, hit "ALT-T" choose Folder Options then go to the view tab.
2. Turn on Show hidden files, folders or drives and
disable Hide protected Operating System files (recommended).

Measurment studio will not recognize LabWindows/CVI installation?

It order for me to use the Driver factory program to make a DLL, the program requires that LabWindows/CVI version 5.0 or greater be installed. Version 5.5 was installed first and Measurment studio does not recognize it. After installing the DAQ software, MAX does recognize both LabWindows/CVI and Measurment studio. Help!
Steve

Hi Steve,
What the IDF does, is
(1) Look for the installation of CVI in the registry under HKLM/Software/NationalInstruments/CVI/xxx. "xxx" being the version number.
(2) If there are multiple CVIs on the machine, IDF uses the highest version number of CVI located i.e.if you have
HKLM/Software/NationalInstruments/CVI/5.0
and HKLM/Software/NationalInstruments/CVI/5.5 it will pick 5.5.
(3) IDF will then look up the installDir key under this folder.
If either of (2) or (3) fails, you get the message you've been seeing.
So what do you see under that registry location ? Is the registry version folder, or the installDir key missing?
It is possible that the machine had installed a higher version of CVI , then uninstalled, but the folder a
nd key is still there, so you have a key with a higher version of CVI, with the installdir key pointing to a "" value, instead of a valid path....
If things do appear fine in the registry, then please reconfirm the software you have installed, as i under stand it, you have CVI 5.5, then installed MesurementStudio 6.0 ? I can try to then reproduce this.
I sincerely apologize for all the trouble that you have been having...I hope this makes things little clearer and hopefully we can get you started soon..
With regards to the other thread that you pointed to , it's possible that the evaluation CD did not install all the registry keys or installed them to a different location, or the user, did not install CVI at all...

How configure reporting services configuration with sql server business development studio

I have installed sql server 2008 r2 mixed mode(sql server authentication) with native mode
I want to run report using reporting services config manager.
I made report in ssrs and I have configured reporting services configuration and web url from RSCM( reporting services config manager), i put on ssrs report.
report is build and deployed but when i take deployed url on Internet explorer, it shows the window below:
when I put the password nothing happened . if I put url in google chrome then it shows authentication required window like the same in IE
if I passed username=(levent/sa) and password then goes on window but does not see on page, if I passed only administrator name (levent) not passed sql server login name (sa) then does not close 'Authentication window'
'Computer connect net with modem'
before i tried on earlier PC, it worked fine.
setting is below link like this.
only set service Account is Use_built=NetworkSrvice
link
http://www.azurecurve.co.uk/2012/02/how-to-configure-sql-server-reporting-services-in-order-to-deploy-reporting-services-reports-in-gp/
what is the problem
Plz give suggestion quickly

Hi tusharshinde,
Per my understanding that when you log in the report Manager you got the pop-up window ask for credential, you try to enter the SA account and the window account as the username and password but both not work, right?
Your issue related to the authentication. As you mentioned you have choose the ”Network Service” as the Service account, generally using this account in RSCM and RSWindowsNegotiate is added to the RSReportServer.config file as the default setting. With this
setting, the report server can accept requests from client applications requesting Kerberos or NTLM authentication. If Kerberos is requested and the authentication fails, the report server switches to NTLM authentication and prompts the user for credentials
unless the network is configured to manage authentication transparently.
The issue can be caused by many factors and please check one by one.
Did you enter the username and password for three times and got blank page or got some error? If you got some error, please provide the error information.
you can delete the specific Authorization Types inside rsreportserver.config file, open path:” \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config”.
Search the file for the “AuthenticationTypes” section. Remove RSWindowsNegotiate and RSWindoeBasic to ensure only “RSWindowsNTLM” is specified in the file rsreportserver.config file.
Before do any modification, back up the files and remember to restart the ReportServer instance in the RSCM after the modification.
If step1 doesn’t work ,please also do the trusted Site Setting in the Browser, article with details steps for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630430.aspx
Please check the Report Manager's authentication mode.Have a look in the Report Manager's web.config file to check if you can find below information under the <system.web> (Path is “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
Services\ReportManager\Web.config ” ).
authentication mode="Windows"
identity impersonate="True"

Please tried to provide us more details information, if the problem still exists:
Did you login in the report manager locally or remotely via Browser and which URL you are using to login the Report manager?
Did you modified some configuration file before and what did you modified?
Did your windows account have the right permission to access the report manager?
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 will not install on Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2

I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful. My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled). The server will be configured as an on premises server. We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express. Per the direction
of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website. We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began.
We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms.
When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services". The
Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next. On the
Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic". The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes. Next the
Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
"install and configure". The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
"default". The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results. Are there any patches or
special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx

SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008, download and install

Hello,
I have been looking for a while now on where to download and how to install BIDS 2008 on top of my current SQL Server 2008 installation but no luck yet. Would you mind helping me out please.
FYI, here is my current configuration:
- SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio installed
- Visual Studio 2008 installed before the above.
I've read that I could find a new kind of project (BIDS one) in visual studio but I can't. And from other sources, I should find a link in "All Programms > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > Business Intelligence Development Studio" but cannot.
Thank you in advance for pointing me to the download page or any kind of post that could help me out getting this.
Regards,
J.

Which edition of SQL Server 2008 you had installed? Is it SQL 2008 Express? If yes, then make sure you had installed it with Advanced Services:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=B5D1B8C3-FDA5-4508-B0D0-1311D670E336&displaylang=en
If you had installed SQL Server 2008 from a CD or Media, then you can run the installation media, and make sure you had selected BIDS as an option, along with Management Tools.
SQL Server Management tools include the following components:
SQL Server Management Studio
SQL Server Profiler
SQL Server Database Tuning Advisor
Command prompt tools, such as sqlcmd.exe and osql.exe.
Business Intelligence Development Studio add-ins to Microsoft Visual Studio
Note that Business Intelligence Development Studio is a separate option during SQL Server installation.
Hope this helps...

I am getting the spinning ball and a slowdown on my g5 with tiger. On top of that I have had three external acomdata harddrives fail in the last 24 hours. They will not even spin up after a single connection to the computer. Two others work fine

I am getting a spinning ball on my G5 with tiger and a slow down and then it seems to return to normal operation. I also have had three acomdata external harddrives fail after sometimes a single startup within the last day. They will not even spinup. Two other externals work just fine.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Any change?

IBook migration to Macbook not working, and have tried every solution I have seen on the internet, still my new MB will not recognize the ibook. Plz help if you can.

It's pretty much what I have seen others write about, only I have not gotten any of their solutions to work. Last thing I tried was a new firewire cable. The mb can't see my ibook wirelessly either. Now I have a new computer and no way to really use it. This is probably my 20th Mac and I have been using them since 1988, and this is just about the very first time I have been frustrated with a Mac, unable to fix it, and ready to send it back. So any help here would be appreciated.

Which exact model is the iBook? Is it the Mac that's running Mac OS X 10.4.11? The System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) will tell you, but if you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which exact model is the MacBook? Again, the System Profiler will tell you, but If you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
(I'm assuming it's not the latest MacBook because the new ones are no longer equipped with FireWire ports.)
Which version of the OS is the MacBook running?
Kappy's User Tip may help you out:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
Even if the two could connect wirelessly, it's not advisable to do larger transfers in that way. It is painfully slow.
