Running Azure SQL database and reporting services native mode?

I would like to stand-up a remote Azure SQL Server to do Master Data Services (MDS) and SSRS in native mode. Can this be done from one Azure SQL Server instance?
William H. Neville Jr.

Hello，
Master Data Services (MDS)not supported by Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
In order to meet your requirement, you can try to create a SQL Server virtual machine in Azure, it similar to on-premises SQL Server installed on VM. It also install the SSRS and you can try to configure the SSRS in native mode.
To run Master Data Services in a virtual machine in Azure, you should also install the Web Server (Internet Information Services) and Silverlight, and also configure Master Data Services by using Master Data Services Configuration Tool (MDSConfigTool.exe).

SQL Server and Reporting Services

What is the best practice for replicating the same reports for different clients using different databases in the same SQL Server and Reporting Services?
For example:
Create a single database for each client.
Create a single data source in Reporting services for each client.
Create a folder in Reporting Service for each client, and replicate all the report and point each report to its correct data source.
Is there an easier method for this type of solution.

Hi acedenoBI,
According to your description, you have reports which has same structure for each user. Now you want to have a folder for each client to keep their reports. And each client should have a single database and single data source. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we need one data source to connect different database dynamically, we may need to use parameter and create dynamic connection string. However, in this scenario, since we need to have a single folder and data source for each
client, so we can just make copies of the whole project. Modify the Connection string in each data source, change the Initial Catalog to be the corresponding database for the client. This can be an easy way to meet the requirement.

SQL Server Reporting Services Native Mode: SSRS 2012 vs SSRS 2014

Hi,
I'm looking at getting my servers upgraded to SQL Server 2014. My SSRS reporting server is SQL 2012 native mode. I know there were not really any significant enhancements in native mode going from SSRS 2008 R2 to SSRS 2012. Does SSRS
2014 add anything significant/at all to SSRS native mode?

Hi Jameson,
As you know that Microsoft SQL Server 2014 is released, so you want to know the new features added in SSRS 2014.
Based on my research, SQL Server 2014 release of Reporting Services is unchanged from the previous release, except it adds support for the Google Chrome browser to view report.
The following document about the new features in SSRS 2014 is for your reference:

SCCM CAS & Primary Site Server - Same SQL Database and Reporting Instance

Hi Fellows,
I need to know whether, for SCCM CAS, a dedicated/seperate SQL instance for SCCM CAS a mendatory requirement or recommendation?
Or we can use the same SQL instance used by Primary Site Server?
J.A

There no technical reason not to have the CAS and Primary database in separate instances of the same remote SQL server. However if you are going to deploy a CAS that would suggest a very large number of clients and a very busy infrastructure. In that case
I would RECOMMEND separate SQL servers.
This is a good guide for SQL sizing (but it is only a guide)

Azure SQL Database

Folks,
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask these questions, I am planning to sign up for Azure SQL Database and VMs. I am trying answers to following. Any information is appreciated.
What is the reliability measure of the Azure SQL Database. Is it five 9’s ?
What is the "MAX Worker Threads” performance measure as mentioned here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn741336.aspx
Does “MAX session” correspond to maximum number simultaneous of DB JDBC connections.
Is it tenant based service where multiple tenants are hosted on the Azure database.
What is the architecture of Azure SQL database, Is it centralized on a single server or over a cluster of machines ?
What is the high level architecture of the VMs and SQL DB.
What is the nature, bandwidth and reliability of connectivity between Azure VMs and Azure SQL DB.
Is this network capacity between VMs and SQL DB shared between multiple tenants.
How are the SLAs guaranteed (ensured) and throttled/enforced (to curb over-utilization).
If we horizontly scale Azure VMs to twice number of current VMs, will the temporal locality of the new VMs has lower network performance in terms of latency or bandwidth than the existing VMs.
Are there any per Azure VM limits on access to Azure SQL DB.
If for some reason SQL DB crashes experiences, Is the Data recoverable.
Can the Azure SQL DB be backed up in Azure Cloud/ or Amazon S3
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
These msdn forums are the actually the best place to ask questions.
I guess you have some scenario in back of your mind that makes you ask these questions, if you can share that with us we may better answer your questions instead of giving you information that may not be most usable for you, regardless here it goes.
I will do my best to answer all your questions
What is the reliability measure of the Azure SQL Database. Is it five 9’s ?
VS: It's 4 nines (99.99) The 99.99% uptime SLA applies to Basic, Standard, and Premium service tiers only.
SQL Database Web and Business Editions have an established uptime SLA of 99.9%.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/
What is the "MAX Worker Threads” performance measure as mentioned here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn741336.aspx
VS: SQL Database governs the limit on the number of concurrent worker threads (requests) to a database.
Any database with more than the allowed limit of concurrent requests will receive error 10928, and further requests on this database can be denied.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn338078.aspx
Does “MAX session” correspond to maximum number simultaneous of DB JDBC connections.
VS: Yes, SQL Database governs the limit on the number of concurrent sessions that can be established to a database. When concurrent session limit for a database is reached, new connections to the database are denied and user will receive error
code 10928. However, the existing sessions to the database are not terminated.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn338078.aspx
Is it tenant based service where multiple tenants are hosted on the Azure database.
VS: Yes and No, Yes because its offered as SAAS, yes multiple tenants are hosted on Azure DB, but they are isolated and also depends on the tier you choose. SQL Azure is designed for Massive scaling, so if you were worried about slowness due
to multi tenant hosting, trust me that should last thing to be worried about.
No, because you can choose to go all the way to premium (now that does not mean you are the only db on the server but its super high performing database out there)
What is the architecture of Azure SQL database, Is it centralized on a single server or over a cluster of machines ?
VS: Its hosted in Microsoft Datacenters and offered as a service, although we can go in detail of architecture of SQL Azure but for this set of questions its irrelevant. Performance is massive on SQL Azure, it can be scaled out or scaled down
on demand.
What is the high level architecture of the VMs and SQL DB.
VS: Not following your question here, what is meant by architecture of VM?
What is the nature, bandwidth and reliability of connectivity between Azure VMs and Azure SQL DB.
VS: The connectivity in general is great unless you decide to host one service in part of the world and other totally other corner, in that case also I have seen good connectivity between the two given normal latency.
Is this network capacity between VMs and SQL DB shared between multiple tenants.
VS: Not following your question in entirty, do you mean network capacity in terms of GB/Sec? if your vm and sql are in same Data Center its the fastest connectivity you can get out there in market on any cloud or for that matter on prem :)
they apparantely have a faster network in their DC than many giant companies have on prem.
How are the SLAs guaranteed (ensured) and throttled/enforced (to curb over-utilization).
VS: MS have protection against many threats, DOS being one of them, Microsoft has done the best job among all the cloud providers out there to inform thier customers about outages, in a recent summit this was also discussed in detail and suggestions
were made to improve on the portal feature.
Each time an service goes down its reported on the portal on service health page, they are improving on the SLA breach report, at this moment its part of your invoice. I have personally not seen a single breach on my services, I am actively using Azure for
last 5+ years.
If we horizontly scale Azure VMs to twice number of current VMs, will the temporal locality of the new VMs has lower network performance in terms of latency or bandwidth than the existing VMs.
VS: number of VMs have nothing to do with network performance, keep in mind the fabric underneath is build for massive scale, network performance and latency will vary (they keep improving) if you choose to create your VMs in a different DCs
then you would come across some latency and that's normal.
Are there any per Azure VM limits on access to Azure SQL DB.
VS: these are not per VM limits, they are driven by MAx_THREAD and MAX_SESSION, please refer to the link above in the question for Max worker thread
If for some reason SQL DB crashes experiences, Is the Data recoverable.
VS: I would be careful to answer this, if you choose to use SQL Azure (which is offered as SAAS) then yes MS takes care of data replication to ensure SLA. if you choose to host your own SQL DB on your VM in Azure, MS is not responsible for
the data recovery, you will have to take care of it (because now you are not talking about PAAS, instead you are going for IAAS)
Can the Azure SQL DB be backed up in Azure Cloud/ or Amazon S3
VS: Ofcourse, I am not very familiar with Amazon S3 but i see no reason why it can't be done.
hope this helps
Please mark as answered if it helped

Best size for VM SQL Server for a start or maybe Azure SQL Database?

Hello Everyone,
My question is quite general but some of You may have already considered similar issues. Let's say or assume I have the website and mobile application - social kind - used by:
1. 10 K users
2. 100 K users
3. 1 K K users
4. 20 K K users MAX
I am strongly considering use of VM SQL Server mostly because of its PARTITIONING functionality, some advantages in the context of INDEXING compared to Azure SQL Database and JOBs availibility.
Question: what would be the best size and count of VMs related to SQL Server for the start and later?
Question 2 - I am able to move JOBs functionality to my Worker role if I wanted to consider use of Azure SQL Database. SQL Server still has at least those 2 advantages (Partitioning, better Indexing) - is it worth considering Azure SQL Database service for
100 K users and more?
Regards,

Hello Jambor,
Considering the number of users i wouldnt recommend an Azure SQL database, because of certain limitations like Max worker threads, Max sessions, etc. Also the maximum size of the database can be 500GB.
Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn741336.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn369873.aspx for the Azure SQL database options and limitations.
If your application needs to scale-out, Azure SQL Databases are recommended. If it needs scaling-up - then the choice is SQL Server on Azure VM. Please refer http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2012/06/26/data-series-sql-server-in-windows-azure-virtual-machine-vs-sql-database/
and http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-management-azure-sql-database-and-sql-server-iaas/ for comparison.
If you already have your application running successfully on your on-premise server, you could use a similar machine on Azure for hosting your SQL server instance. The options are at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/. You could
start with a SQL Server enterprise edition on an A3 VM and then scale-up as needed.

Problem in Azure SQL Database Basic Tier

I have a WinForms Application was using Azure SQL Database (Web)
It was working fine with web version (for last 2.5 years).
After Microsfot's new offerings of New Tiers of Azure SQL Database,
I tried Basic Tier.
Observation for last 24 hours according to Azure Portal when Database in
BASIC state :::
Successful Connections : 2 (Max), 1.5(Avg), 3(Total)
Failed Connections : 0 (Max), 0 (Avg), 0 (Total)
Throttled Connections : 0 (Max), 0 (Avg), 0 (Total)
Deadlocks : 0 (Max), 0 (Avg), 0 (Total)
Storage : 23.38MB (Min), 23.75MB (Max), 23.47MB (Avg)
CPU Percentage : 0 (Min), 3.34 (Max), 1.14 (Avg)
Log Writes Percentage : 0 (Min), 0.05 (Max), 0.02 (Avg)
Physical Data Reads Percentage : 0 (Min), 0.01 (Max), 0 (Avg)
The WinForm Application working fine but there is some problem:
When a Report is generated (local .rdlc), the connection gives "Timeout Expired"
This problem occurs only in 25% cases (in 75% cases works fine)with same data.
If I upgrade database to Standard (S1) it works fine.
QUESTION IS :
Resource Stats show it is using very low resources.
like CPU percentage 3.34 (Max), Log Writes Percentage 0.05 (Max)
and Physical Data Reads Percentage 0.01 (Max)
Why the report not works in 25% cases in BASIC state but works in STANDARD S1 state ?
The price of Standard S1 is 8 timeshigher then BASIC
Thanks

Hello Fanny,
Thanks for reply.
I know it and that's why I mentioned different resource stats.
My database (BASIC) using only :
CPU Percentage : 3.34
(Max)
Log Writes Percentage :
0.05 (Max)
Physical Data Reads Percentage :
0.01 (Max)
While Microsoft says if any parameter goes beyond 80% usage then you need to upgrade tier

Alias, DB and Reporting Services

Hi
I am new to SQL server and Reporting Services.
Problem I face is this. We got report in Reporting Services. It shows
table name,
field name,
field alias
I want to either find out what is underlying query behind that report
OR
I want to know how to find Field Alias data within SQL Server Database which i could not locate so far.
All I got is appropriate Table appropriate Field Name but data as shows on Reporting services as Field Alias is not in there it seems.
Any idea ?
Regards
Dominik
P.S.
Person who created report is not with company any more.
I using now script
select
o.name as tableName,
c.name as ColumnName,
o.type as ObjectType,
u.name as SchemaName
from syscolumns c
inner join sysobjects o
on o.id=c.id
inner join sysusers u
on u.uid= o.uid
where
c.name like ‘%alias%’
Yes it works/
I found relevant data

Hi Nick_1988,
As per my understanding, you can preview report from report manager, but you want to know the query and corresponding fields of the report in SQL Server database.
It seems that you have found the query. If you would like to, you can post a reply to share your solution and mark it as answer. That way, other community members could benefit from your sharing.
If not, we can check the query of reports deployed to report manager by following steps:
Open Report Manager, and locate the report you want to check the query.
Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
In the drop-down menu, click Download.
Click the drop-down arrow next to Save, click Save as, select a location, then click Save.
Create a report server project.
Right-click Report, click Add, then Click Existing Item.
Navigate to the location of the .rdl file, select it, and then click Add.
Right-click the report you added, then click Open.
In Report Data pane, expand Data Sources node.
Right-click the data source and open Data Source Properties dialog box.
Make sure data source type and connection string are correct.
Expand DataSets node, right-click the dataset and open Dataset Properties dialog box.
In Query pane, the query used to retrieve data will be displayed in Query text box.
For detail information about Creating a Report Server Project, please refer to the following document:

Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

Hi
I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

Concerns over switching between new Azure SQL Database Service Tiers

Windows Azure's new SQL Database
service tier pricing model will be put into effect in less than 12 months. We currently have SQL Databases on the Business and Web Edition pricing models.
We recently asked Azure Support a number of questions around the scalability and ability to switch between these tiers. The responses so far have been far from encouraging:
Q: If we exceed the criteria for a given tier (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn741336.aspx), how will Azure respond? For example, if we are on the S1 service tier, and we exceed the maximum number of sessions (200), will any new sessions be
blocked until we manually increase the service tier? Or will you automatically move (and bill) us to/for the next tier level?
A: If you exceed the criteria of the existing tier, you shall be notified of performance issue like throttling. Users may experience slowness and blocking. There will not be any automatic upgrade.
Q: So to confirm, if we suddenly experience increased, unanticipated client activity overnight due to our web site becoming more popular, you will be blocking any user sessions over and above our performance level limit, until we manually make the transition
to the next level? Is there no “overdraft” facility/scalability in this respect? If this scenario took place within a short space of time, how would we have time to react? Simply blocking new sessions and preventing customers from using our site is not acceptable.
A: I’m sure you understand that SQL Azure database is a shared resource and hence we cap the resources for individual subscription so that a fair service is provided to all the concurrent users. If you feel that you cannot compromise on the user experience
then you shall think of an edition that best suits you. Please refer to the following document to best understand the throttling and its impact. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1541.windows-azure-sql-database-connection-management.aspx#Throttling_Limits
Q: Since the changing of the performance level could take several minutes/hours depending on the size of the database, would we experience any downtime/degradation of performance of the database during this period?
A: You might
Q: If downtime/degradation of performance are a possibility whilst we switch service tiers, what do Microsoft recommend we do to safeguard against this? Should we create a second database on a higher tier level and then export the data from the lower tier and
import to the higher, before switching over? How do Microsoft recommend we switch tiers in a production environment with minimal disruption?
A: If you want to upgrade the tiers due to degradation of performance, you will have to create another database on a higher tier and import the data.
One of our key reasons for moving to Azure hosting was the seamless scalability it appeared to offered. As you can imagine, the responses above are a major concern for our production environment. Does anyone else have any thoughts or concerns in this respect?

James,
I reviewed the support incident you referred to and believe that the questions you asked may have been answered later in the interaction you had with the engineer. For the benefit of others viewing this forum I want to reiterate the answers
to your key questions here as well.
Q. What is the behavior when you reach the limits for the service tier?
A. Each service tier currently has limits on 4 different dimensions (CPU, physical reads, log writes and memory) of resource consumption. When you reach one of the limits, the behavior depends on which resource limit you are hitting, but
generally speaking is consistent with the behavior you would see with a similar hardware limit in the SQL Server box product. For example, when you reach the CPU limit your queries will start showing more SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD waits,
the memory limit will cause a higher percentage of pages to be read from disk instead of the buffer cache (PAGEIOLATCH_xx waits), etc. This set of limits does not directly abort any of your queries--they just run longer as they
vie for the fixed set of resources made available to your database. In a system where the load greatly exceeds the resources, queries may start to time out.
The new service tiers continue with the Web/Business edition behavior of limiting the number of sessions and concurrent requests (worker threads) you can have. When you exceed these limits you'll get error 10928. Note that
each tier in Basic/Standard/Premium have different values for these limits (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn369873.aspx) than Web/Business and thus may encounter the errors at different usage levels. The key is choosing the appropriate
service level for the application, and to facilitate that the sys.resource_stats view shows historical usage information so you know where you stand as far as reaching any of the limits. This resource consumption data is also available in the portal.
Q. Is it possible to switch service tiers, and is there any disruption when you do so?
A. Yes, you can change between service tiers as described in this MSDN documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn369872.aspx). This can be done through the portal, powershell, or REST APIs. [The preview currently has a restriction
where legacy servers don't support switching to Basic/Standard which is expected to be removed in the near future.] The link above outlines the limits on the number of tier changes you can do in a 24 hour period, expected time to perform the change, and
the client disconnect that occurs.
If you have further questions, feel free to re-engage on the support incident or reply to this forum thread.

SQL SERVER 2000 - REPORTING SERVICES DATABASE ?

Hi!
A very basic question, how to know where reporting services points to the database and server ?
miga

For versions above than SQL 2000, you can refer to sql reporting services configuration tool.
For SQL server 2000, reporting services view the database deatils as mentioned in below thread
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/e4263367-600d-4bb1-94e7-6b66e5df295d/how-do-i-find-configuration-details-on-sql-server-2000-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
To find the SQL Server name that host the report server database, please check the server name of the “ReportServerURL” in the RSWebApplication configuration file. The configuration file is located in the following folder:
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportManager
By default, the report server database name is ReportServerDB, and the report server temporary database name is ReportServerTempDB. To check the report server database name the SSRS 2000 uses currently, we can try to join a report server
instance to a Web farm by using different database. If the target database is not validated during the setup, it cannot be the report server database. Besides, we can also expand the tables of the databases; a report server database has different tables with
common databases.

Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

Hi,
I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get
Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:
