SSRS deployment in Sharepoint 2013 FARM

When I was deploying SSRS in my SP2013 QA environment with 4 servers (2 App and 2 WFE) , I deployed it on 1 Application server (that has CA)  and on completion, the SSRS Site Collection Features  were missing in the farm. Deployed on
the other App server and both WFE and now SSRS Site Collection Features  is available. I have not found any Microsoft document that indicated on which servers to install SSRS in a FARM.
I am now planning PROD SP2013 Farm deployment where I have 2 App servers and 2 WFE. Do I install SSRS on all 4 servers or just the App Servers or just the WFE servers ? Is it needed on all 4 servers in the farm?
SQL server instance supporting the SharePoint Farm is on a SQL server, and  not on any of the servers in the Farm.
Thanks

You only need the SSRS Service installed on a single server in the farm. You do need to deploy the SSRS Add-in that matches your SSRS service to all of the other farm members, though (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492257.aspx).

  • Deploying SSRS Reports to SharePoint 2013 Result in Error

    We are trying to deploy SSRS reports developed in VS 2012 to SharePoint 2013.  Whenever any user deploys the report, they receive the following error. 
    Error 1

    Has anyone received this error and know of a solution?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Hi jbud55,
    According to your description, my understanding is that there is an error when you deployed SSRS via to SharePoint 2013.
    This error displays that there is a column that does not allow duplicate value in the list. So, please check the list columns.
    In addition, as this issue related to SSRS, you can also create a new thread on SQL Reporting Serivces forum, more experts will assist you with SSRS.

  • Deploying Project Server 2013 to an Existing SharePoint 2013 Farm

    We recently deployed the following for our new SharePoint 2013 farm:
    2 SQL server (alwaysOn config)
    2 application servers
    2 WFE
    1 SQL for Dedicated Search
    2 WFE for Dedicated Search
    2 Applications Servers for Dedicated Search.
    After purchasing a company that uses Project 2013 heavily we are now looking at deploying Project 2013 using our new 2013 SharePoint farm.  My question is what is the recommended additional servers that would needed to be deployed to the existing farm?
    Thanks,
    Ric

    Ric,
    It really depends on what your current dataset is, and what the load on your SharePoint Server/Project Server.  Technically, Project Server can just sit on top of your WFE and App Servers for SharePoint. You do not need a complete separate server group
    for Project Server alone, unless there is a special reason to do so.

  • Services Deployment in SharePoint 2013 Decision

    As mentioned in the link, there are 2 ways that we can deploy services in SharePoint 2013 farm, one is traditional approach and other streamlined approach. How do we know which one we should go for?
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219591.aspx
    Thanks, Ram Ch

    For small to medium farms there's not that much practical difference. It's only in large farms or farms with abnormal workloads that they vary notably. Compare the 10k user models in both and play spot the difference.
    The traditional design was never that sensible in its purest form, it was based on an overly stylised view of the classic three tier architecture model. It worked but was frequently shifting into the Streamlined approach anyway when you actually came down
    to it.
    Go with Streamlined, it's not going to be a materially different design to a traditional approach but it gets you there faster.

  • Using AD EmployeeID in a SSRS query in SharePoint 2013

    I have successfully installed SSRS 2012 in SharePoint 2013 and have used it to query a SQL database and build a report. Now, I'd like to query only for the data associated only with to the currently logged-in SharePoint user's EmployeeID. The database
    holds a field called EmpID, which I have exported into the EmployeeID field in Active Directory, and sync'd into SharePoint through the User Profile service. The SQL database being queried has no other connections to Active Directory.
    If the query is simple, i.e., Select * from Emp where EmpID=<user's EmployeeID> , how do I pass EmployeeID into the query from the SharePoint User Profile?
    This is my first SSRS project, so please be descriptive!

    Hi AltonBay, Not sure, I understood your query. If your empid is the logon is to windows login, I think samAccountName should be the one you need to map.
    Please refer the below link for mapping:

  • Deploying simple SharePoint 2013 feature causing error: "Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': An unknown exception occurred while executing a sandboxed code solution request in the worker process."

    When trying to deploy a sandboxed solution containing only a feature with a simple associated event receiver from VS 2013, I'm getting the following error:
    Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': An unknown exception occurred while executing a sandboxed code solution request in the worker process.\r\n|0
    I'm working in Visual Studio 2013, deploying to SharePoint 2013.
    The SharePoint project is very basic. I've only added a feature and an associated event receiver. It works without the event receiver. Then after I simply add the event receiver I get the error.
    I've tried deploying directly from VS 2013 as well as publishing to a .WSP and uploading via web interface. Same error reported using both methods. I'm doing this using an Administrator account that I've confirmed is a site collection administrator.
    Additionally, I've found that if I change Sandboxed Solution to False, deploy it, retract it, then change Sandboxed Solution back to True, then I can successfully deploy it. But this doesn't seem to be a permanent solution as the error will resurface a day
    or two later...

  • What are the best practices for audit report for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

    Hello,
    I am looking for the best practices for audit reporting in SharePoint 2013 farm.Can anyone please provide me checklist/tools/guidelines on same ?
    your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dipti Chhatrapati

    This is quite open ended question. A sharepoint farm should be well maintained as per :
    1. Microsoft's recommendations on : Topology, Hardware and Software requirements, Operational procedures and most important Capacity guidelines:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758645(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx
    2. Organisation's IT policies and procedures : Farm Configuration, Workload and monitoring
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758658(v=office.15).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748651(v=office.15).aspx
    3. Industry best practices
    I would suggest to start thinking over these lines and create a plan for your Sharepoint farm.
    You can then create powershell scripts to run these reports at certain frequency to find the changes, any deviation from the standard and health of the entire farm.
    Hope this helps!!
    I LOVE MS..... Thanks and Regards, Kshitiz (Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.)

  • NLB for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

    Hello All,
    I have a very simple three-tier SharePoint 2013 farm which its architecture consists of: (1 DB Server, 1 Application Server, and 1 Web Front-End Server) which all are running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    I now need to add another (Second) Web Front End server.
    Steps that I know:
    A) Following the installation instructions on: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx), especially: Connect to a server farm page: Connect to an existing server farm.
    B) Question-1: After completing the installation steps, Should I run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on the Application server (The server that hosts Central Administration)? Or, No need to do so?
    After that, I will have 2 Web Front-End servers, and I will need to configure load balancing. I found some articles to set up load balancing on a SharePoint farm using the OOTB Windows Server network load balancing (NLB) feature.
    Question-2: Is this adequate and powerful enough? Or, Do you recommend any other third NLB solutions (Reasonable price)?
    Thank you !

    You do not need to run the Config Wizard on the App server. Windows NLB isn't great. It doesn't know about service status (e.g. if IIS is up or not), but it will 'do the job' for a few hundred to low thousands of users. Load balancer appliances are not
    necessarily cheap, but BigIP products are popular.

  • Automatic Deployment between SharePoint 2013 systems

    Hello,
    I would like to ask about the possibility of an automated deployment between a local (development) SharePoint, a test server and a productive server. Is there such a tool or do I have to do all customizations and installations separately on each of the systems?
    Thank you very much for your hints.
    Regards,
    Radek

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to automatic Deployment between SharePoint 2013 systems.
    Per my knowledge, you can move content between environments. Please refer to:

    Copy SharePoint production data to a test environment
    In addition, if you want to Automatic Deploy SharePoint, you can refer to:

  • Need to Setup Project Server in existing SharePoint 2013 farm

    Hi 
    I have already SharePoint 2013 farm having  4-WFE Servers, 2-Application Servers, 3-dedicated Search Servers, 2-DB servers (Clustering enabled). Now I want to add one more App server having Project Server 2013 in this existing farm environment so Please
    check the below steps. Please let me know If I am wrong in the approach.
    Need to install PS 2013 on all the WFE, Applications and Search Servers.
    Need to Run Sharepoint wizard on all the servers one by one. (Is it mandatory to run wizard on each server or should run only on application servers only)
    The project Server service should run only on application servers.
    Regards, Pankaj Waghmare - MCTS | Consultant

    Hello,
    Those steps are correct for high level :) One thing you might need to do is after installing Project Server on all the servers is apply the same CU / SP to Project Server as SharePoint (using the Project Server equivalent patch) so Project Server and SharePoint
    are patched at the same level. I would do this after installing PS2013 and before you run the wizard on each server.
    I would ensure you test this on a non prod farm first and ensure you have a roll back plan in place.

  • Replace FE and APP server in SharePoint 2013 farm

    Hello,
    We have to replace the front-end web and app server from a SharePoint 2013 farm.  The farm only has 1 FE, 1 APP and 1 SQL server.  As the FE and APP were wrongly patched and have unsupported software installed there's no way of getting all servers
    at same version level and to succesfully run the Product Configuration Wizard.  The database server is ok but we have to replace the 2 other servers.
    Is there any documented procedure to perform this migration/reinstall?
    Thanks!
    Martin

    for first approach.
    1- go to central admin and add all roles you need for the server that will stay
    2- log into the server you will remove then run configuration wizard and choose disconnect from farm
    you will have now one server, you can clean it up and keep it or later remove it when u have the new one
    3- to add new server

  • Single SharePoint 2013 Farm for two geographical locations

    Dear All,
    I want your expert advise and suggestion on an "Architecture" for Deploying SharePoint 2013 in multiple geographical locations. I have read every line in article:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg441255%28v=office.15%29.aspx before posting
    this question, for the following scenario:
    Scenario:
    Two locations, say, Loc1 and Loc2.
    SharePoint Farm = Collection of SharePoint servers connected to the same Configuration DB.
    WFE1 will be in Loc1 and WFE2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    App1 will be in Loc1 and App2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    Users from Loc1 will be directed to WFE1 and Users from Loc2 will be directed to WFE2.
    App1 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc1.
    App2 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc2.
    I can implement all of the above.
    Now question is "How to provide local flavor for back end SQL?"
    suppose, I configure "Active-Active" SQL clustering SQLNode1 at Loc1 and SQLNode2 at Loc2, how do I specify that web applications meant for Loc1 are fetched from SQLNode1 and web applications meant for Loc2 are fetched from SQLNode2.
    Users in Loc1 are not interested in web applications meant for Loc2 and vice-versa. Currently we are having Two (2) different farms at each location, but going forward we want to consolidate so that "Infrastructure maintenance" is minimized and
    investment in third party solutions can be leveraged by both locations.
    Naveed.DG MCITP, MCTS -SharePoint 2010 Administrator "Vote As Helpful" If it helps!!

    How far away are these SharePoint servers away from each other? Remember that regardless of where a SharePoint server is, it must be able to write to the active instance of the Configuration database, and must have that 1ms timing.
    Active-Active SQL clusters has never been mentioned, as far as I'm aware, in TechNet documentation. I'd consider this scenario unsupported unless you talked to PSS otherwise.

  • SSRS 2014 with SharePoint 2013 - Integrated Mode vs Native Mode Questions

    Hi,
    We are using SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014.
    We are building a number of SSRS Reports that pull data from SQL Databases. (Pl note, we are not pulling any data from SharePoint Lists) 
    We have to make a choice between running the Reports in Native Mode or SharePoint Integrated Mode.
    We saw this link: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326290(v=sql.105).aspx - but it has no updated version for SQL 2014. 
    We have questions on which one to choose - based on what criteria, based on performance (which will be faster), other benefits, pros and cons and also on things that work only on SharePoint Integrated Mode and things that work only on Native Mode.
    Would appreciate guidance on the above.
    Thanks
    Karthick S
    Karthick S

    Hi Karthick S,
    If you had install Sharepoint server, then configure the Reporting Services in Sharepoint mode to take advantage of the Sharepoint. However, when you run a report in the SharePoint integrated mode in SQL Server Reporting Services, the report may run noticeably
    slower than when you run the same report in native mode.More details information please reference to:General overhead performance differences when you view reports in SharePoint integrated mode versus in SharePoint
    native mode
    For more information about the features supported by Reporting Services in Sharepoint Integrated Mode(SSRS 2014), please see below article:
    Reporting Services Report Server (SharePoint Mode)
    Similar thread for your reference:
    SSRS naitive Mode VS Share Point Integrated Mode
    SQL Server Reporting Services - Native Mode or SharePoint Integrated Mode?
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
