SITUATION IN PREVIOUS VERSION

Providing Reporting capability in SharePoint require separate configuration and sometime challenging integration tasks

Only a limited set of SharePoint IT management capability was available

Different skills are required from IT to build reporting capability and SharePoint farm

SHAREPOINT INTEGRATION REDEFINED

Reporting Services is now configured and monitored like other SharePoint shared applications.

Maximum set of SharePoint IT management capability enabled

Lower TCO on IT who can now leverage existing SharePoint skillset and experience.

SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits

Unified Administration through the SSRS SharePoint 2010 Shared service

– SSRS is hosted in SharePoint 2010 Shared Service App pool

– SSRS catalog DBs are managed as SharePoint Service App DBs

– Central Admin UI for all SSRS configuration and administration

– PowerShell Cmdlets

SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits

Improved Communication and Authentication– Support for consuming reports cross-farm

– WCF and Claims based communication

Better Performance for RDL Reports– Parity with Native mode performance

– Faster than 2008 R2 SharePoint mode by 30-60%

SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits

Easier Deployment

– SQL Setup option for SSRS SharePoint service

– Built-in Scale-out and Load Balancer

Self-service BI components (PowerView, PowerPivot)

Reporting Services 2012 Architecture

• SSRS is now a SharePoint Service Application

• WFE uses the SA Proxy to communicate with SSRS SA machine instances

• You must have C2WTS running on each machine instance running SSRS

• In-built Load Balancing between WFE and SSRS SA

SSRS 2012 Installation SharePoint mode – Single Server

• SQL Setup Installs• SSRS Add-In for SharePoint• SSRS Shared Service

• After SQL Setup Finishes• Create SSRS Service

Application

• SharePoint Central Admin is used to configure and manage SSRS Application

SSRS 2012 Installation SharePoint mode – Multi Tier

• WFE• RS Add-In for SharePoint on

all WFE computers• Either SQL Setup or

download add-in

• App server• RS Shared Service on all

App servers• SQL setup need to run

Upgrade

SQL 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint 2010 is backwards

compatible Works with SQL 2008 or SQL 2008R2 RS Servers

Upgrade for Single Computer Deployment Run SQL Setup and Choose Upgrade

Upgrade for Multiple Computer Deployment Install SQL 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint 2010 on each SharePoint WFE node

Run SQL Setup on each Application Tier node and choose upgrade

Shared Service application is created during upgrade

Migration Create the new SharePoint environment by installing SharePoint pre-requisite installer,

SharePoint server, SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services SharePoint mode Backup SSRS Encryption Key Backup SharePoint Content DBs Backup SSRS catalog DBs Copy rsreportserver.config file if you

there are any customizations to the file

Restore SharePoint Content DBs Restore SSRS Encryption Key Restore SSRS Catalog DB Copy file rsreportserver.config Configure a new Reporting Services

Application using the copied SSRS DB

Scale-out Mode

• Built-in Network Load Balancer• Eliminates need for SW/HW NLB from WFE to App Tier

• Configuration is reused eliminating configuration work• Need to install SSRS Shared Service on each machine

Configure Constrained Delegation

• C2WTS Service needs to be running on all the App Servers where we need delegation, Identify the accounts that are using for services.

• Add the service accounts to the Local Security Policy on Active Directory for these roles:• Act as part of the operating system• Impersonate client after authentication• Logon as service

• Configure delegation – Login to Active Directory Users & Computers and configure delegation for these Service accounts for all the data sources
