SAP NetWeaver BI with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services using XMLA

I am currently implementing SAP BW and am trying to connect the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services product. I am able to connect to SAP BW but there is one problem when i click on Query Designer after adding a DataSet the screen just displays the dialog prompt saying '' NO CUBES WERE FOUND. VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED A VALID CATALOG''.
The advanced information depicts the following:

Hi Raunak T,
Just a very basic question from my end:
I believe that "Microsoft SQL server Report Builder" is the 3rd party which uses MDX as interface.
Have you set the property using OLE DB for OLAP in your queries?

Share Data Source between multiple report projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

I have a reports solution in 2012 which contains multiple report projects one each for target deployment folder and we use TFS 2012 for report deployment.
We have a template project which has a bunch of template reports and all the datasources used in different reports.
When I develop a report, I cannot "Preview" in TFS but, for deploy this used to work fine util the reports solution was in TFS 2010 & Visual Studio 2008 R2. Since we moved to TFS 2012 & SSRS 2012 not being able to deploy till I create all
the necessary datasources for each project and now all the developers complaining that they cannot develop reports in TFS itself as they cannot preview (this problem was existing previously) and now not being able to deploy as it errors for each report "Could
not find specified rds file". I tried messing around with the .rptproj file DataSources tag that did not help either by modifying it like below.
<DataSources>
<ProjectItem>
<Name>DB.rds</Name>
<FullPath>Template\Data Source\DB.rds</FullPath>
</ProjectItem>
</DataSources>
Is there a way I could share a Data Source between multiple projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services?
Thanks in advance.............
Ione

Hi ione721,
According to your description, you want to create a shared data source which works for multiple projects. Right?
In Reporting Services, A shared data source is a set of data source connection properties that can be referenced by multiple reports, models, and data-driven subscriptions that run on a Reporting Services report server. It must be within one project.
We can't specify one data source working for multple projects. In this scenario, we suggest you put those reports into one project. Otherwise you can only create one data source for each project.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

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.

Hi Sorin,
SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) includes stand-alone and ClickOnce versions of Report Builder. The ClickOnce version can be used with Reporting Services installed in native or SharePoint integrated mode. For more information about how to start
Report Builder, please see:

SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, Report Manager - Page not found

Hi all,
I am working on migrating reports to a new server so we can upgrade to a new machine and to SQL Server 2012 SP2. The machine is up and running on Windows Server 2012 and I have installed SQL Server EE 2012 SP2. I have imported the three databases
from 2008R2
* Report Server
* ReportServer TempDB
* RSSubscribers
I have re-applied the encryption keys and I was thinking that everything was good to go until I went to try and manage the subscriptions on a report. I select a report, use the drop arrow to get to manage
and then try to select any of the options such as subscriptions and I get a "Page Not Found Error"
If I take the URL and paste it in another browser, putting the previous server name in, it works fine. So, the URL works fine... I have no idea as to what I should do to figure out the problem. I am considering rebuilding the whole install
just to see if that would fix it.
Thanks

Hi SqlDude,
According to your description, you have bind SSL to a Reporting Services URL Reservation. Now you find in your Report Manager, the Subscription page still start with "http://". Right?
In this scenario, we need to change setting in rsreportserver.config file. Go to rsreportserver.config in "\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer". Find <Add Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="0"/>.
Change the value into "3".
Acceptable values are:
3 Most secure—Use SSL for absolutely everything.
2 Secure—Use SSL for rendering and methods that pass credentials but don't insist on it for all SOAP calls.
1 Basic Security—Accepts http but rejects any calls that might be involved in the passing of credentials.
0 Least Secure—Don't use SSL at all.
Besides, if you want to submit a feedback to Microsoft, please feel free to submit
your situation on our product to the following link:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
CA Forum: General
Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Post Author: bettername
CA Forum: General
Ditto!
There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Report Manager using non-HTTPS URLs on part of site

For potential ease of understanding, I am seeing the same issue as this person
here.
Currently, my site is successfully using HTTPS in all areas of the /Reports site, with a single exception. If you drill down to a report and go to "Manage", the following links are all http://, not https://:
Parameters
Data Sources
Subscriptions
Processing Options
Cache Refresh Options
Report History
Snapshot Options
Security
These remain regardless of the configuration combinations I enter in Reporting Services Configuration Manager. I'm not sure what makes this part of Report Manager special. Even if I only enable https in the Report Manager URL settings, these links all stay
as http (port 80). I can find no references in config files to this.
Any assistance is welcome. Obviously having non-encrypted links is not acceptable.

Hi SteveKSM,
According to your description, you specify the report manager URL as https://. When you open the child items on report manager, the URL change to the http://.
In your scenario, since you want to set SSRS to require all SSL connections, you need to change the SecureConnectionLevel value to 3 in RSReportServer.config file (located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer).
It means that all communication must use secure connections. So please specify this attribute like below:
<Add Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="3"/>

Course 10778 Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I recently imported the virtual machines for the above-mentioned course. I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard edition on my pc. When I tried the first lab exercise, I could
not open the report in MS Sharepoint Server. The error was to do with the following: "cannot impersonate user for data source 'AdventureWorksDW' ", and also "cannot convert claims identity to windows token sharepoint". I followed all the
steps in the setup guide.
Please assist me with this regard,
Many thanks.

Hi Zimiso,
Based on the error message, it seems that the issue is caused by the incorrect configuration of Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) that it was not running under a domain account.
The domain account used by the Claims to Windows Token Service needs to be granted the following rights through the Local Security Policy:
Act as part of the operating system
Impersonate a client after authentication
Log on as a service
We can find these settings under Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. Please note that we should add the service account to the local Administrators Groups ahead.

How to present SAP R/3 data in SQL Server 2005 Reporting service?

Our company is using SharePoint Portal Server 2003 as our intranet. We are also using SAP R/3 4.6C to run their business. There are huge amount of important data in SAP database. There ere are business needs to present SAP data on SharePoint pages which are easier and more friendly to be accessed by users.
The top concern for IT people to meet this challenge is DO NOT CHANGE/UPGRADE THE EXISTING SAP SYSTEM which is so far run smoothly and stably. We cannot accept any risk to make big changes on SAP. and now we want to adopt the Microsoft SQLServer 2005 BI Solution. the most challenge is the ETL part.how to extract the data from SAP R/3 Data base to the SQL Server Data warehouse?
any suggestion or comments is welcome!

Hi
1.if you use web templates you can post the URL in share
point very easily.
any web developer will do that for you in 2 min.
2.this is a more chalanging issue.
the main issue is exacly as you defined it - the ETL.
the main advantage of BW over most BI tools is its
connectivity to SAP R3 and CRM.
But still there are many way's to extract data out
of any SAP sys and in R3 the data model makes it quite
easy.
In CRM its much more complicated because of the much
more complex Data Model.
Here are a few way's to extract data from SAP:

SQL Server 2012 - reporting services - scale-out-deployment

I am facing an issue which is related to a scale out deployment. I am deploying a FIM reporting based on System Center and I have 2 sql servers in this scenario.
Now the problem is that Reporting services configuration manager (from sql1) says that the scale out deployment has been established. Sql1 is joined and sql2 is waiting to join. I don't know why the servers has been appeared under the scale out deployment
because I don't want to create the scale out deployment.
So how can I remove the scale out deployment without breaking anything?
Also if I look at the Reporting services configuration manager from sql2 the scale out deployment panel is empty like it should be.

Hi 2xTsei,
According to your description, two report server instances have been configured to a scale-out deployment, while you haven’t performed this configuration.
In Reporting Services, a report server scale-out deployment is two or more report server instances that share a single report server database. To finish this configuration, we should use Reporting Services Configuration tool to connect to each report server
to the shared database and join a new report server instance. So the scale-out deployment shouldn’t be configured automatically. It’s likely that someone has configured this deployment who can access those two instances.
Reference:
How to: Configure a Report Server Scale-Out Deployment (Reporting Services Configuration)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
That is a little bit weird because I am 100% sure that we didn't manually configured scale out deployment. I need to inspect this more.

Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Is there any limitations in regards of CAL with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 developer edition?

From the SQL Server 2014 Licensing Guide:
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition is a full-function version of SQL Server software—including all of the features and capabilities of Enterprise Edition—licensed under the Developer Tools model, which is a “per user” model. One license is required
for each person that accesses or uses the software.
You can download it
here
So there are no CAL limitations per se.
