Reporting Services Site Role Setup: Instance Blank/Empty

SCCMserver01
SQLDBserver01
Background info:
We have a strict policy that states we cannot load additional software packages on our SQLDB servers. So with that being said I need to have the
SCCM Reporting Services Point reside on a server that is not our SQLDB server. I do have the SSRS SQL components installed on the SQLDB server.
With that being said.......when I go to add the SCCM Reporting Services Point to our SCCMserver01 as described above the I get the "specify reporting services settings" within that menu down where it says "reporting services server instance"
it is blank and all I see is a red exclamation mark. When I hover over it the error is "Unable to locate any configured SRS instances on the server.  Verify SRS is installed, accessible, and correctly configured."
Has anyone else seen this? What am I missing? Thank you.....

So I can install just SSRS on my SCCM server and then point to the DB on my SQL server? Is SSRS a licensed product?
Yes SSRS is a licensed product.
Although technical possible to install SSRS on your CM12 server and point the db to SQL. This would NOT be a recommend solution.
I'm not sure how you policy apply when CM12 itself MUST be full Administrator and SA on your existing SQL servers, And it install SW on SW server too, so...

  • Reporting Services Point Role - Not installing

    Hi,
    I installed SCCM 2012 R2 and SQL Server Standard 2012 with Reporting Services. SCCM is running in secure (HTTPS) mode for both MP and DP. I have also configured SQL Reporting Services WEB URL for HTTPS (443)
    Now I'm trying to install the Reporting Service Point Role but it wont install.
    If I check Monitoring --> Reporting --> Reports its blank. Reporting Services on SQL Server is working properly.
    I have the following errors reported
    "Site Component Manager failed to configure site system "
    Site Component Manager failed to configure site system
    \\xxxx.xxx.xx to receive Configuration Manager Server Components.
    Solution: Review the previous status messages to determine the exact reason for the failure. Site Component Manager cannot install any Configuration Manager Server Components on this site system until the site system is configured successfully. Site Component
    Manager will automatically retry this operation in 60 minutes. To force Site Component Manager to immediately retry this operation, stop and restart Site Component Manager using the Configuration Manager Service Manager.

    "Site Component Manager could not find an NTFS partition on site system

    Possible cause: The site system does not contain an NTFS partition.
    Solution: Using the Windows Disk Administrator, create an NTFS partition on the site system, or convert an existing FAT partition to NTFS.
    Possible cause: The site system is not exporting the default drive letter shares, such as "\\xxxx.xxx.xx\C$", "\\xxxx.xxx.xx\D$",
    and so on.
    Solution: You might have disabled the default drive letter shares for security purposes. Configuration Manager requires these shares. Please re-enable these shares using the Windows Disk Administrator.
    Possible cause: The site system is turned off, not connected to the network, or not functioning properly.
    Solution: Verify that the site system is turned on, connected to the network, and functioning properly.
    Possible cause: Site Component Manager does not have sufficient access rights to remotely administer the site system.
    Solution: Verify that the accounts are properly configured to allow the site server to remotely administer the site system.
    Possible cause: Network problems are preventing Site Component Manager from properly accessing the site system.
    Solution: Investigate and correct any problems on your network."
    I'm a bit perplexed because the admin shares can be accessed on the servers. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm also seeing these in SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER
    Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the SQL Server xxxx.xxx.xx Service Broker certificate has missed or is expired, and failed to remediate with Error Failed to read SQL SSB certificate..
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    I ran this query and looks like the cert is fine
    "select s.name, c.name, c.start_date, c.expiry_date
     from sys.services s
     join sys.certificates c on s.principal_id = c.principal_id
     where c.pvt_key_encryption_type = 'MK'
      and c.is_active_for_begin_dialog = 1
      and GETUTCDATE() BETWEEN c.start_date AND c.expiry_date
      and s.service_id > 2;"

    Why does it think my cert is near expired?

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Cu1: Can I reinstall the Reporting Services Point role without delete or change the SSRS-DB?

    Hi, I have some issue with the reports,
    Can I reinstall the SCCM Reporting Services Point role without delete or change the SSRS-DB (just reset the SCCM SSRS function)?
    I have saved/backup the custom made reports.
    /SaiTech

    Yes you can remove and reinstall the Role.  I had to do this recently on our SCCM 2012 R2 due to an issue with the reports not loading.   Found out that the problem with reports was from the upgrade to R2 from 2012 SP1 and was able to run
    a command to re-register the reports with WMI.  I actually removed the role, uninstalled reporting services feature from SQL, deleted the report databases, reinstalled the SQL feature, configured the reporting databases again, added the role back, and
    ran the following command.
    mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
    This allowed all my reports to register as they should have and run without errors.  If you are having similar problems, you may be able to just run that command to get reports running without all the extra work I did.  For us we were getting an
    invalid Class error in the srsrp.log.

  • Installation Reporting Services Point Role

    I have following configuration
    SCCM 2012 SP1 (Clean installation) |  SQL 2008 SP3 CU4 Named instances | OS: Windows 2008 SP2
    SQL Cluster for CAS | Dedicated SQL Server for each primary site  (All my roles are separated on dedicated servers)
    For SSRS I've been told that this is not cluster aware so I've told my DBA to install the SSRS instance on SQL Server used on my primary site, all of this is located in same data center.  I did confirm SSRS is working fine, able to access the URL,
    db is created and all security setup correctly.
    Trying to install the Reporting Point on my CAS.
    When I start the installation wizard from the "Configuration Manager console" and select CAS - Reporting Point, I see that the information about the SQL Cluster is populated however my "Reporting Services Server instance" is blank. 
    I've searched various forums/blogs and all talk about security settings; version for SSRS etc. I did confirm all this is correct.
    I've tried following scenario.
    Instead of installing the Reporting Services role on my CAS, I selected the SQL Server that had reporting instance installed, and also has the instance for 1 primary site.  Following the same screens I know have my SQL Information populated and also
    my "REporting Services Server Instance" is populated !!!!!!   the installation know continues fine, and when I go to my REport manager website I can see all reports etc..
    But!
    Checking the data source, it's now configured for my primary site !!!!  so I can only see reports/data from that primary site.  If I update the datasource to point to my SQL Cluster, I'm able to run reports but every minute it's reverted back as
    part of the check done I can see this in the log file srsrp.log.  When I go to my Configuration Manager console, I can only see the reports when I'm connected to my primary site, from the CAS all is blank.
    Question I have is following
    - can you have SQL Cluster configuration for CAS data and separate SSRS instance on different server?  I've got feeling during installation of the reporting point, when it's discovering the SQL Instance for CM, it's looking for some link to determine
    the reporting instance, and obviously cannot find this. 
    - Is there anything on the SQL Cluster that needs to be configured so that it know this is the SSRS instance to be used (only guessing)
    - in my setup my DBA installed the SSRS part in already existing SQL Instance (used for my primary site), which would explain above behavior, I will ask him to install SSRS on separate instance, but I then have feeling that this will not work, as the
    instance will not be populated when I try to install Reporting point.
    Any ideas or suggestion to make this setup work

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • Report Services generate a page in blank

    Hi,
    I do download the Oracle9ids for evaluation, create myreport.jsp with Report Builder e run to web, OK,
    but I try request with URL in browser or rwcliente, the report services generate a report (htm,pdf and mail) in blank.
    I'm use OC4J and Windows 2000 Professional.
    Thanks,
    David Lins - [email protected]

    david,
    reports now has two layout areas. one for the web, called the web-source, and one for paper, called the paper layout (for page oriented output such as PDF, RTF, Postscript). if you want to generate web and paper, you have to create a layout in both areas. when you run through the wizard, you will see, that on the first panel it asks you, if you want to create paper, web or both layouts. according to your choice, it will then add a layout to either one or both areas.
    since PDF is using the paper layout to generate the output, you need to have a paper layout in order to be able to run to PDF.
    regards,
    philipp

  • SCCM Report Services Instance missing

    Hi,
    Been trying to troubleshoot this for a day and had already done the following:
    1.
    http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/10/10/reporting-services-site-role-setup-instance-blankempty/
    2. Reinstalled reporting services on SQL Database Server
    3.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4479e73e-8a19-4c7e-9418-b36770656b9b/action?threadDisplayName=sccm-2012-reporting-point-server-instance-blank
    I'm not sure what I am missing but regardless after restarting countless times and troubleshooting, I still can't get the reporting services setup on our SCCM 2012 server. The database is SQL 2012 SP1. Both are on a different VM instance. I'm getting a blank
    value on the Reporting point server instance.
    The good part is I can get the website working but getting the reports via web by opening it on the reports services manager on the SQL server. Other than that, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    Any suggestion?

     - CAS with database on remote SQL (non-cluster) server in a named instance - SQLSRV\CASINST 
     - SQL Reporting Services in also installed in the SQLSRV\CASINST instance 
     - The SCCM Reporting Services Point role is installed on the SQLSRV\CASINST instance 
     - Primary server with database on the same remote SQL (non-cluster) server in a different named instance - SQLSRV\PRIINST 
    Now I would like to move all of the database stuff to an existing SQL 2008 R2 cluster (SQLCLUSTER) and decommission the SQLSRV server.  SQLCLUSTER already exists and the default instance is already in use (for other applications) for both database engine
    services and reporting services.
    From my understanding:
     - SQL 2008 R2 Reporting Services cannot be clustered
     - Best practise is to install Reporting Services Point on a remote site server rather than a CAS server
     - SSRS can be installed on nodes in SQL cluster as standalone installs - with the caviat that they don't use instance names already in use
    So I plan to:
     - Move CAS database to new named instance on cluster eg SQLCLUSTER\CASINST 
     - Move primary database to new named instance on cluster eg SQLCLUSTER\PRIINST 
     -  Install SQL Reporting Services on one of the cluster nodes (unclustered) using a named SSRS instance eg SQLCLUSTERNODE1\SCCMREPORTING
    -  This article points out some interesting results of not have a default instance -  http://magalhaesv.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/system-center-configuration-manager-x-sql-server-reporting-services-x-wmi-english-version/
     - Move Reporting Services Point from SQLSRV\CASINST to the cluster node eg SQLCLUSTERNODE1\SCCMREPORTING
    I have read on some forums (eg
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/40ad0cb4-a464-4576-b824-957ed6e1b2e2) things like '' If you have an app like SCCM that requires a default instance of SSRS, you are out of luck if your cluster already has a default
    instance of the database engine.", but I cannot find this anywhere in Microsoft documentation.  From the MS documentation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7fd0d4f5-14e0-4ec7-b2e6-3b67487df555#BKMK_InstallReportingServicesPoint)
    I understand that as long the current user has read access to WMI on the remote site server where SQL Reporting Services is installed, you should be able to use a named instance for SQL Reporting Services and successfully install the Reporting Services Point
    on it.
    So a 2 part question:
     - Anybody see any obvious flaws in my high level plan?
     - Anybody care to comment on the SCCM requiring a default instance of SSRS?

    Yes, I know this is an old post, I’m trying to clean them up, Did you figure this out, if so how?
    http://www.enhansoft.com/
    Hi Garth,
    Yes we moved the DBs and RS as outlined above. As expected, we needed to have a default instance of RS because otherwise the SCCM console doesn't see the Reporting Services instance when you try to deploy the Reporting Services site role.
    So the above plan worked.

  • SCCM 2012 Reporting point server instance blank

    I have installed SCCM 2012 With remote SQL database server successfully, at the time of Reporting service point role installation, its verified the SCCm database successfully but SQL server service instance is blank, what would be the reason....
    Below my SCCM architecture:
    1. Created one Database in Remote server SQL server is in failover cluster active passive mode
    2. Configured Reporting services in active mode.
    3. at the time of reporting point role installed failover cluster database name given and its successfully verified with SCCM_123 database.
    4. on the instance name showing blank.
    Please help me if anyone facing this type of problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rishi!!
    Regards, Rishi

    It is not totally intuitive when installing the Reporting Point role with a cluster.  When installing a Failover Cluster, SSRS can only get put on one node or on its own box, as it uses NLB for scale-out not FoC.  SSRS is also not configured by
    default if you use it with a clustered SQL instance, so you have to open SSRS Configuration Tool and make sure the ReportServerDB is created, and that the URLs can be browsed.  Once that is done, then try adding it in CfgMgr:
    In CfgMgr, In the Administration workspace, expand Site Configuration, and then click
    Servers and Site System Roles.
    Select the node that has SSRS installed on it (not the Failover Cluster virtual computer account).  If SSRS is on its own box, first you have to go to
    New site system and add the SSRS box.
    Then, on the Home tab, in the Server group, click
    Add Site System Role. The Add Site System Roles Wizard opens.  Choose Reporting Point, and after verifying the connection to the CfgMgr DB, the instance name should populate.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • How to set the minimial right to run a report only on SQL express Reporting Services

    Hi,
    I tried several times on setup a SERVERNAME\USERA from the "Home-Report Manager --> Site Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment..
    I also checked it already have the roles (System Administrator, System User) being assigned
    When I try to run the report remotely via
    http://ThisISdomainNameURL/Reports_SQLEXPRESS/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=
    User 'SERVERNAME\USERA' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed
    The permissions granted to user 'SERVERNAME\USERA' are insufficient for performing this operation (rsAccessDenied)

    Hi kkcci88888,
    Based on your description, you are experiencing the problem when login on the Report Server remotely, you got some error about required for permissions, right?
    Generally, Reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles. On a new installation, only local administrators have access to a report server. If
    the user need to have access to reports, folders, models and shared data sources, we can assign Item-level roles on the root node (the Home folder) or on specific folders or items. In this case, you can check if you have assigned an Item-level role first.
    bellow are about how to assign an Item-level role:
    Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click  Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
    Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is
    http://<ServerName>/reports_sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is
    http://<ServerName>/reports_<InstanceName>.
    In the Home dialog box, click Properties.
    Click New Role Assignment.
    Type a Windows user account name by using this format: <Domain>\<User>
    Click to select the Role(5 default roles) check box and click OK.
    If you already assigned a role for the user, this issue might be caused by the UAC settings, you can find more details in this link:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934164 and you can follow the steps below
    to do the right configuration on your remote computer:
    Start Windows Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Click Security.
    Click Trusted Sites and then click Sites.
    Under Add this Web site to the zone, type http://<ServerName>.  If you are not using HTTPS for the default site, click to clear the Require server certification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box,
    Click Add.
    Repeat step 4 and step 5 to add the http://localhost URL, and then click  Close.
    Close Report Manager and Use Internet Explorer without the Run as administrator option to reopen Report Manager.

  • System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services

    I was able to connect SCOM12 to SQL14, however when I attempted to install Reporting Service in SCOM12 the pull down box was blank.
    I installed reporting services on the same instance of SystemCenter, when that didn't work I tried creating a new instance that only included SSRS; remote registry is also running. The drop-down box within the SCOM installer is blank.
    Is this an issue with reporting between SC12 and SQL14, yes I understand documentation says only sql server 2012 is supported, however I've seen many threads with SCOM12 and SQL12 that are having the same issues.
    Is there something I may be missing, or do I have to install SQL12 and go through the process again?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, the SCOM reporting server role should be installed on the same server where SQL reporting service installed.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - Reporting Services Point installation - "The Datasource does not exist"

    Hi all,
    Quick bit of background, we have SCCM 2012 R2 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 server. We have the SQL back end off box, configured on a SQL 2012 R2 server running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster. Then there is yet another server which runs the reporting
    services. I've just tried installing the Reporting Services Point on the srs server but it doesn't appear to have worked that well. Here's the info i've got back:

    Hi guys, cheers for the swift response.
    Garth, i can access SSRS in IE from the SCCM box and it looks a-ok.
    Paul, nope can't say I've done any configuration of reporting services - the whole thing has been set up by the database team. Having had a trundle through Reporting Services Configuration Manager, it seems the Database team have set up SSRS in line with
    the walkthrough you posted.
    Since i'm not seeing the ConfigMgr_XXX folder appear in SSRS I'm wondering if there's something preventing SCCM from being able to create it. The message
    "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions
    granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' are insufficient for performing this operation" sounds like the account SCCM is leveraging to perform the install might not have the right permissions in SSRS. Do i need to delegate specific rights to the NT
    AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account in SRS perhaps?

  • Reporting service point

    HI I have bacis questtaion . I install in the one machine sccm 2012 and in the second sql 2008 r2 SP1 CU9 . All work ok , but after I try add Reporting service point role the reports is not in the sql machine not created :-( . I look to report site from
    sccm server and is empty . Error log in the sql server write : On 27.10.2012 18:38:07, component SMS_SRS_REPORTING_POINT on computer SDS0DB04reported: SQL Reporting Services root folder "ConfigMgr_001" is not present or not properly configured on the Reporting
    point server "SDS0DB04".  srsrp.log not exist  :-(
    thanx for help
    Falcon

    I've been working on and off with a new installation of SCCM and came up against this when I started to implement SQL RS a few hours ago.
    The environment:
    SCCM 2012 with SP1 on the first server.
    SQL Server with SP1 on the second server.
    Installing the SCCM RSP site system role on the SQL Server (to state the obvious).
    What I found in the srsrp.log file were the following two lines:
    System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/ConfigMgr_UCH' cannot be found. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: The item '/ConfigMgr_UCH' cannot be found.
    System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The permissions granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' are insufficient for performing this operation.
    I also found that it had a repeatable 1 min retry timer which explained why hasty removals and re-additions of the RSP often weren't actioned at all. Anyhow, moving.
    The simple solution was to use a browser to access the SQL RS site (in our case, the virtual directory is the default "Reports" directory) and add the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account to the Permissions areas in:
    Site Settings, as a System Administrator.
    Folder Settings, as a Content Manager.
    I expect I didn't need to use the first option, but I'll go back when time permits and see what the least security rights required are. For now, it's enough that it resolved this specific issue.
    Cheers,
    Lain

  • FQDN or NetBIOS for SQL Reporting Services Point installation in a cluster

    Hi Folks
    We have a SQL cluster for config mgr database & SQL reporting services installed on nodes because it is not cluster aware. During SCCM 2012 installation, we mentioned the details of SQL cluster only & it got installed successfully. When we checked
    in console, it is showing 3 site servers  related to SQL. SQL cluster is having site system role only & site database role moved under 2 nodes. Only NetBIOS names of the SQL nodes are being displayed in console.
    Now when I installed reporting service point role by selecting one of the node, wizard picks the FQDN of this node automatically & role installed successfully.
    Now in the console, I have another site server listed publishing the FQDN of the same node which I selected during installation which means one SQL node (site database role present at this) is displaying with NetBIOS name & the same SQL node
    (reporting services point role at this) is displaying with FQDN.
    My concerns is that - 
    Is there any issue if same SQL node displaying 2 times in SCCM console i.e. with NetBIOS name & with FQDN name?
    Why reporting services point role not placed under the node which is already there with NetBIOS name?
    I hope I explained my issue properly however If you guys need any more information regarding this, then let me know. 
    Cheers | Navdeep Sidhu

    This is the default behavior when installing site DB on cluster - all nodes will be visible as NetBIOS.
    I face a problem in two separate environments with SQL cluster when configuring Auto client push for servers, you will get the following error message in CCM.log in site server:
    SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. : sp_CP_CheckNewAssignedMachine
    AND
    Failed to execute SQL cmd exec [sp_CP_CheckNewAssignedMachine]
    I believe this is a bug in the product.
    There is a workaround FIX editing the SP in SQL DB but it is UNSUPPORTED.
     

  • Reporting Services Point - installation location help

    I have my SCCM 2012 environment role(s) split up. Granted other roles exist in each location but in a nut shell it's like this:
    Server1 - SCCM primary site with MP
    Server2 - SCCM DP, software update point, etc
    Server3 - Pure DB server hosting multiple other systems DB's and the SCCM DB
    I do not want to install the "Reporting Services Point" on the DB server, rather have it installed on Server1, aka the primary MP site server.
    Do I need to do or have anything special installed on Server1 to use it as the Reporting Services Point? I am having a hard time finding the requirements needed for just the Reporting Services Point role.
