Reporting services in three tier SharePoint 2013 environment

Hi,
I am trying to integrate SQL Server 2012SP1 Reporting Services in a three tier SharePoint 2013 environment, but it seems it is not succesful.
The setup is as following:
SRV1: SQL Server with content, config,... and the Reporting Service databases.
SRV2: SharePoint 2013 Application server & Central Administration
SRV3: SharePoint Web Front with SharePoint sites
All application pools are started with domain accounts on SRV2 & 3
When opening the Central Administration site, the Reporting Services Service Application and its Proxy is created and configured. On SRV2 the Application exists in the application pool in IIS, but it does not appear in the SRV3. Should it be created manualluy?
In Central Administration, when opening the site settings the Reporting Services section is created, but when opening the Site Settings for the root site the section shows variables:
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ReportServerSiteSettingsGroupTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ScheduleList;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,SiteLevelSettings;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageSiteDataAlerts;
I believe i need some help here.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
J

Hi J-S,
Generally, the issue occurs if you are in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell or the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode feature is not installed. So, please double check you are using the SharePoint Management Shell or install
the Add-in by installing the rssharepoint.msi instead. Here is the download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35583
If it is not the issue, please install the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode from the SQL Server 2012 installation media.

  • Difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013

    Hi, We are building company site with Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and were wondering what is the difference between Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode and Reporting Services Add In for Sharepoint 2013? What are the roles/purposes of each one? What
    happens if only Reporting Services Sharepoint Mode  installed or vise versa.
    Thank you in advance

    Reporting Services in SharePoint mode is a service for displaying, managing, and creating SSRS reports within SharePoint. The addin is a pre-req for SharePoint that is used to display reports and is required for Reporting Services in Native or SharePoint
    mode, but does not by itself do anything.

  • Where yo find reporting services log files in sharepoint 2013 integrated mode

    i use to find the reporting services log files in the msrs folder in sharepoin 2010 integrated mode. but when we migrated to sharepoint 2013. i am not able to find the logs.i wanted to check all the executed sql statement using the logs as we don't have
    access to sql server profiler. does anybody know the location of yhe logs?

    Hi there,
    Not sure you'll see the sql statements however you can find information on the ULS logs here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc627510(v=sql.105).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487871(v=sql.105).aspx
    and here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156500(v=sql.105).aspx
    You might want this once ULS log is capturing info.

  • SQL Server Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint not installing properly

    Environment: Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise
    When I run the install for SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint it SHOULD install to c:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 AND 15. Specifically it should drop a mess of ASPx pages for admin to the \templates\Admin\ReportServer
    folder. In this environment it only pushes them to the 14 folder and not the 15. Any ideas on why this would happen? I have not ever seen this before and it is hosing the install completely.

    Hi Gouranga,
    According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
    In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
    Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
    As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.
    Reference:
    Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013)
    Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Can i use Report viewer web part in SharePoint 2013 app to show SSRS reports?

    Can i use Report viewer web part in SharePoint 2013 app to show SSRS reports?

    SharePoint app you mean a simple sharePoint 2013 application like site, team site etc, or do you mean an App (the new feature like webPart).
    To add a SSRS Report viewver web part follow these steps
    1. Edit the page
    2. Choose insert a webpart
    3.Select SQL server Reporting -> SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer webpart
    4. Configure the webpart to show your .rdl files.
    (See the img below. Plz mark as answered if it helps).

  • Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint- does it need an SQL Server license?

    In a new project we will be creating an SSRS in Sharepoint integrated mode. For this we'll need SQL Server and Sharepoint on that box.
    We'll also have one or more SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) servers. To allow them to connect to the SSRS-in-sharepoint-mode box, and to present the user with the right user interface for doing so, I believe we can install the Reporting Services Add-In for
    Sharepoint on the WFE servers.
    The question is, do we need to have  SQL Server license for each WFE server where we use the Reporting Services Add-In, or is it free to use?
    We've had advice that we need to buy a SQL Server license everywhere we use the add-in, but I am not sure this is correct.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Hello there,
    The Reporting service Add-in for SharePoint can be downloaded free on Microsoft Download site. That means it does not need any license on the add-in.

  • Missing shared feature Reporting Services Sharepoint and Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products

    Hi, when I try to install SQL Server 2012 SP1 (ISO from Microsoft Download website) on a Windows Server 2012 and try to select the shared feature options: 
    - Reporting Services Sharepoint
    - Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products
    They are both missing from the list.
    How do I solve this? Help!

    Hello,
    Did you download the SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services edition from the Microsoft website? If so, this edition did not support SharePoint Integration mode.
    Just as Alberto post above, Business intelligence features are not all available in all editions of SQL Server 2012. You can refer to the following link about support features in Editions of SQL Server 2012:

  • How to migrate a SharePoint 2010 workflow to an SharePoint 2013 environment

    Dear guys,
    I have a SharePoint 2010 environment with a workflow. Now I would like to migrate this workflow in the SharePoint 2013 environment? How could this be done?
    I tried it via Visio, but it is not working...
    Best regards
    Matthias

    All SharePoint designer 2010 based workflows will be upgraded AS IS and can be enhanced using SPD 2013 but enhancement can be done in SP2010 mode  only (using SP2010 features), no new SP2013 features can be used in SPD 2010 workflows. Microsoft has provided
    a workaround to trigger SP2010 workflows with-in SPD2013 workflows using workflow interop for SharePoint 2013.

    Which laptop is good to build sharepoint

    HI Chaitu,It depends on what function of development that you want to do.I suggest to have
    a below configuration to work with sharepoint.
    Fast CPU!
    32 GB of RAM (24 GB minimum, but 32 highly recommended)
    500 GB of space
    Please find also in the blog to know more about configurations and the installations.

  • SQL Reporting Services stops on my SharePoint 2007 Moss environment?

    Hi,
    I have SharePoint 2007 Moss SP3 installed on my VMWare server. I have a separate database VMWare server. I have SQL Server Reporting Services configured. Every other day the SQL Reporting Service stops, it seems to time out and logs a 7031 windows event.
    I've had to create a scheduled task to restart this service every day at 4am. The OWSTIMER process consumes around 50% CPU. Any solutions for the above?
    Thanks.

    Hi AspNet-Scotland,
    The application pool for Central Admin might be timing out, increasing the shutdown time limit for the process model from the default of 90 seconds to something longer (300 seconds) should resolve it if the cause is time-outs.
    This post explains how to change the Shutdown Time limit:

    It's all here:

    Putting that many servers together for a 500 seat company is madness. Go for the text book small farm deployment at most, in reality you'd probably be better off just having three servers total (1 WFE, 1 App, 1 SQL).
    I can't remember how much you should reserve for the hypervisor but if you allocate 1GB for that i think you're ok.
    For a three server deployment you'd probably be ok with 32GB, 8GB for the WFE and App server, 7GB for SQL and one for the hypervisor. 64GB would give you a lot more comfort.
    If you want more options like the enhanced workflows and OWA you'd need servers for each of those as  well.
    You can always overprovision CPUs on the hypervisor but more than 12 Cores would be wasted on a 3 server deployment for 500 users.

    Hello.
    After having the same issue like you in a recently installed SahrePoint 2013 SP1 farm, and using the information I found in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905871%28v=sql.110%29.aspx, I traced with the tool procmon the operation, and finally solved
    the problem after discovering a little bug.
    These were the steps I performed:
    1.- I installed "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint" with the command
    Msiexec.exe /i rsSharePoint.msi SKIPCA=1
    2.- I executed PROCMON ...creating a filter of include the Process Name "rsCustomAction.exe"
    3.- I executed a elevated Command Prompt, and going to %temp% folder (in my case C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp), executed rsCustomAction.exe /i
    4.- After execute this command I obtained in the Command Prompt the error:
    C:\INSTALL\RS>rsCustomAction.exe /i

    5.- Tracing the results in PROCMON, I discovered an extrange issue: The installation was looking for the command PSCONFIG.exe but in a in a folder different than standard.
    The installation was look for PSCONFIG in
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\BIN
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\BIN
    ...instead C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
    So... the solution which worked for me was to create C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\BIN and place here PSCONFIG.EXE and PSCONFIG.EXE.CONFIG obtained from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
    Extensions\15\BIN
    After doing it, the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint" was installed fine as you can see en the next Command Prompt capture:

  • Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint Products

    Hi,
    Can I use the SSRS Web part installed by the add-in to see local mode reports just by instaling the add-in or do I also need to install the "Reporting Services - Sharepoint" on SS Shared Features setup wizard?
    Thanks,
    DD

    Hi,
    Per the MSDN article: To use the Web Part, you must have installed and configured the Reporting Services Add-in and configured the report server for SharePoint integration.
    You must also have reports to display in the viewer. You can only open reports that are in a library, a library folder, report history, or a link from a Library Web Part to a Report Viewer Web Part.
    You cannot open reports that are saved as an attachment to an item in a custom list.
    More reference:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms159772.aspx
