Architecture Slightly Confusing…
Architecture SQL 2005 • Service Pack 2 • Only works with SharePoint 2007 SQL 2008 • RTM+ works with SharePoint 2007 • Service Pack 1 + CU #8 works with SharePoint 2010 • Needs 2008 R2 Add-In SQL 2008 R2 • Works with SharePoint 2007 & 2010 SQL 2012 • Works with SharePoint 2010 • Deployed as a Service Application Application Dependencies
Architecture SQL installation ON SharePoint server • Same SharePoint product installation • Does NOT need to be on ALL farm servers Authentication • Windows Authentication • NTLM • Kerberos • SQL Authentication DNS for report server URL Architecture Dependencies
Architecture SQL Enterprise (or SQL 2012 BI Edition) • Scaled out deployments • Data driven subscriptions • PowerPivot for SharePoint • Power View SharePoint Enterprise • Excel Services • PerformancePoint • Power View SQL Virtualization • License the host or individual virtual machine • http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/3/C/73CAD4E0-D0B5-4BE5-AB49-D5B886A5AE00/SQL_Server_2012_Licensing_Guide_Apr2012.pdf Licensing Dependencies
Visual Studio vs. Report Builder Report Builder can be accessed from SharePoint • Launches from the server instead of needing a full install Report Builder is geared toward the Business Power-User • Microsoft Office Ribbon Bar for many settings • Many built-in wizards for quickly starting reports and adding different types of content Business Intelligence Development Studio is an expansion on Visual Studio which comes with SQL • Adds new project templates: SSAS, SSIS, SSRS, etc. Allows developers to leverage full Project/Solution management capabilities • Enables TFS integration • Allows grouping/nesting of related content: multiple reports in a project, multiple projects in a solution, etc.
