We have installed SQL Server 2014 on a web server. And we have connected to the SSRS Reporting Services, but we don't see any options (like import report) to upload into the reporting services.
Can anyone plase guide on this one how to get/upload report the reporting services?
You need to go to the Report Manager portal (e.g. http://yourserver/Reports)
and once you're there and you have the appropriate permissions, there will be an Upload File button.
You should see something like this:
You can also deploy a reports project to the server rather than uploading each one, directly from SQL Server Data Tools

I have a requirement to set up SSRS for reporting with one of our web applications.
Just now I have SSRS installed locally and pointing to the local version of the database for development purposes which is fine and works.
The live and test SQL databases are on Azure and I would like to be able to connect to them from the Report Designer locally to create the reports.
Does anyone have advice on how this should be done? For example, should I create a SQL database on Azure and use the SSRS configuration manager to set this as the reporting database, then from within the report designed connect to the live or test database when creating the reports?
thanks in advance
I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 with Integration Services.
Here is the download link I used to download with tools.
File Name : SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU
But when I proceed to feature selection Integration Services is missing ?
What am i doing wrong ?
Any help would be great.
Update
For future readers, Actually Integration Services is not available on sql azure as said by #Nick.McDermaid , and i was trying to export sql query results to excel. I have to try some other options for sql azure. But Integration Services must be available in other sql server products.
This SSIS runtime is not available in any of the Express editions.
From MSDN:
The only extra services that you get with the Advanced Services are Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express
including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
Take a look at this page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx
Under the heading
Integration Services
You'll see Express with Advanced Services has:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
Built-in data source connectors
But it doesn't have
SSIS designer and runtime
So the answer is no: express with advanced services does not have the full SSIS version, therefore you won't see it in the install tick boxes. It does have import/export wizard
SQL Server 2016 Development edition is free and comes with SSIS
To transfer data from Azure to a local excel file I can think of three options off the top of my head:
Manually, run a select query in SQL Server Management Studio, then copy paste the grid into Excel. Or you can right click/Save results as CSV
You should be able to use the import/export wizard on your local install of SQL Express to extract data from the Azure instance. I've never tried it though
If you want to automate it you can use SQLCMD to export a CSV file also
The next question is why do you want to export it? If it's for analysis you might be better served running SQL Queries. If it's for a report, again you might be better served with SQL queries or whatever bits of SSRS are installed with SQL Server Express Advanced
To my believe, to get SSIS you need to install SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe package instead. From the linked documentation ... if you check the Details section; this is what it says:
Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package
contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a
database server including the full version of SQL Server 2014
Management Studio. Choose either LocalDB or Express depending on your
needs above.
Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
I have sql server development studio.I have done a task using it.but now i am asked to use just the sql server 2012 for it.I have googled but have not got satisfactory results.Most of the posts are about ssrs using visual studio.please guide me.
The SSRS development tool in SQL Server 2012 is called SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT).
While installing SQL Server you will get an option to install Reporting Services (This is just the service not Interface for development). To develop SSRS you are required to install SSDT (Visual Studio integrated tool) as report development requires a interface. The Reporting Services can be installed with Native mode and SharePoint mode.
In native mode, You will get 2 things called Report Server and Report Manager, from where you can access your deployed report.
For your knowledge: SSRS report file (.rdl) is nothing but a XML file. If you are expert in writing XML code you can create your RDL file (This is not practically done - not easy).
Search about Report Builder also - It is also client based tool to develop and modify existing SSRS Report.
In one of the ASP .Net site we are currently working we have a bulk load of SSRS reports. We have forms authentication for the site and reports have already been created and deployed in the report server. We are having so many problems with authentication when we set the report viewer control to access the server report.
I just want to know what are the advantages or disadvantages of using Local report vs Server Report
Thanks,
Raja
1- client report don't need to report server for rendering. (advantage)
2- you must make a server report by creating a report server project in BIDS but client reports must create in VS.
3- server reports use stored procedure or text script as data provider but client reports use dataset or xml datasource for this.
4- server reports use report server for rendering of the report but for client reports this work done at report viewer control.
5- client reports don't need SSRS installation but server reports need that.
6- for working with server reports you must deploy reports but in client reports you don't need this work.
7- for enterprise projects, it is better that you use server report but in other projects client reports are better.
I have a SQL box and a web box; the SQL box is close to capacity. I'd like to install reporting services and thought about installing it on a SQL instance i would install on the web box, and only use that instance for reporting services. Is this a good option? What pitfalls will I have if I try to do this?
It's recommended to not mix IIS and SQL on the same box. Because 0f different access patterns and security at least.
The fact your SQL box is close to capacity should set alarm bells ringing and big red flags waving. The Report Server databases are quite small, and I'd lie awake at night if I thought it would overload my your DB server
SO: Should SQL Server be on the same machine as your IIS installation?
If you just install the Reporting Services (SSRS) web piece this should be fine. SSRS comes in 2 sections, the web piece and the database catalog so you could have a web site run on the web server and the catalog database would live on you normal database server. You will need to manually configure SSRS through the SSRS configuration utility and specify the remote server name during the database set up.
The downside of this is that you would be required to purchase an additional SQL license for the web server, since an SSRS installation counts as a SQL instance, but you should be able to use a standard edition license to for both instances.
I didn't find a lot a great resources but the steps would be like this:
--install just SSRS (and Client tools to debug connection issues) on the web server
--run the SSRS configuration tool and configure the app pools, virtual directories
--in the same config tool in the database section just specify the remote SQL server and select "create database" and it will create the database for you and apply the permissions needed to the database instance.
One thing I have found to be kind of quirky about the SQL 2005 SSRS config tool is that you have to "apply" changes when it doesn't seem that intuitive, so beware.
