Goal:
Install Developer SQL Server 2012+ Business intelligence and its SSIS, SSRS and SSAS in my computer.
Problem:
Can't find the settings or something similar in the install selection to install SSIS, SSRS and SSAS in my computer.
Before doing the installation, a screen was displayed with selection of feature. Look at the picture.
It is in the Developer Ed of VS 2012. You just have to look for it now because they separated it out into a different place. Look for SQL Server Data Tools 2012 in your start menus and launch it; however, if it does not come up, then navigate to find your VS 2010 and start it up and load up your Integration Services project in there. This is what I had to do.
What you are looking for is Sql Server Data Tools. Bear in mind that there are 2 versions of the Data Tools - someone called them data tools - db and data tools - BI for lack of a better term.
Data Tools - BI are the compact version of Visual Studio 2010 with all the required project types for ssrs ssis and ssas.
Data Tools - db that you can get here provide connectivity to sql server via the Data Tools - (BIDS in sql server 2008).
The selection is disabled as Aaron said due to the fact that Intergration Services (SSIS), Analysis Services(SSAS) and reporting Services (SSRS) are already installed.
You want 2012, since others provided that information here is instead for you and OTHERS to get 2014 Data Tools and 2008 BIDS :
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for SQL Server 2014
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/jj650015
OLD 2008 for some of you still wanting it / using sql server 2008....
For getting BIDS With SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, you simply want to search for
"SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio"
This will open the Visual Studio 2008 Shell of which you then click on Create - Project
Now you have all your options. This is right next to Microsoft SQL Server (SSMS)

SQL Server Management Studio 18
Visual Studio 2019
The image above shows my desktop of the programs.
I installed all the required installments for SSMS 18:
SQL Server, including: SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)•
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT): is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL Databases, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS) packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports, which comes integrated with Visual Studio.
but I still can not make an analysis services multidimensional and data mining project, Analysis tabular project, etc.
Please someone please tell me what to do to fix this issue? If possible, please tell a better way to install these programs in order for SSMS to have the extensions from Visual Studio 2019
I still can not make an analysis services multidimensional and data mining project, Analysis tabular project, etc.
These have never been available in SSMS, only in Visual Studio.
I have installed sql server 2014 Enterprise, as wellas Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise on my Windows 2012 Server Data Center Edition. I am unable to find any menu options under either Windows OS, Sql Server, or Visual Studio, which would help create an Analysis type project.
The goal is to create a Data Warehouse, and an OLAP cube - to learn and practice ms sql server based analysis.
When I look at the sql server 2014 installation summary, I can clearly see the analysis services installed.
What is the common starting point to create such analysis project?
The BI project templates are a separate install. You need to download SSDT-BI.
Are there any tools to convert SQL Server 2014 database to 2012?
I tried Generate Script but the generated script with data is too large and SQL Server Management Studio did not execute it, I need to have both schema and data.
To my knowledge, there are basically three two options for migrating a database to a lower version of SQL Server, without using 3rd party tools:
Generate Scripts (not really suitable for large amounts of data)
Custom Scripting and BCP or Import/Export Wizard
SQL Server Integration Services (Transfer Database Task)
First option is not suitable in your case, as noted.
Second option is to simply script the structure of the database, and then use the Import/Export Wizard to copy the data, one table at a time. Note, that if you have foreign key constraints in your database, you might want to disable the constraints until after you have populated all your tables with data. This blog post explains in details how this can be done.
Third option uses the SISS Transfer Database Task which basically uses SMO to create the objects on the destination server and then transfers the data. This is the recommended way of migrating a database between SQL Server instances of different versions. SSIS requires that you have installed SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence (SSDT-BI) for Visual Studio. Before SQL Server 2012, this was called Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). You can download these here:
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
If you don't have Visual Studio, SSDT-BI / BIDS is included in the SQL Server installation.
Use the script, but instead of executing it trough Management Studio, use the lightweight sqlcmd utility.

Oh well, Dan's second option does not work: after installing SSDT-BI for VS2013 and configuring the Database Transfer Task it says that the version of the source database instance has to be lower or equal to the version of the destination database instance: so, a migration from 2014 to 2012 (or in my case 2008R2) is not possible.
This project I'm working on has me using SQL Server 2008 R2 which I'm pretty new to. I have the full version of SQL Server and, SSIS, SSAS etc. What I don't know anything about is reporting services. I can connect to the report server but I don't see anyway to actually build reports. This is all in management studio, by the way. Is there a GUI interface for building reports? I have to assume that this software is distinct from SSMS?
You have to install BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio). It's in your SQL Server setup. Maybe you already did, have a look in your Visual Studio directory in your start menu.
yes its possible to install that way.
Business Intelligence Development Studio is a must to USE SSIS feature.
We have a large real-estate of existing SSRS 2008 reports that we are still maintain in production.
However we are evaluating SSRS 2008r2 and would like to start developing reports that take advantage of the new features such as shared datasets etc.
The problem is that AFAIK installing the tools for 2008R2 upgrades the Visual Studio 2008 tools from 2008 to 2008R2. This means that when you open a 2008 report and make any changes that it thinks need a new feature it upgrades the schema to R2 making it incompatible with our production servers.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any tips? I don't want to RDP to a VM or anything nasty like that really.
Some things get upgraded, others remain specific to the instance. For example, Business Intelligence Design Studio gets upgraded, but Reporting Services remains independent. See this link for a complete discussion: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210714.aspx
I've just realised it's possible to install Report Builder 2.0 alongside Report Builder 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008 with SQL 2008r2 tools in it. Thus I can at least edit the old .RDLs using Report Builder 2.0.
From Technet - "Business Intelligence Development Studio supports working with both SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 reports, and with Report Server projects in the SQL Server 2008 R2 version of Business Intelligence Development Studio. You can open, save, preview, and deploy either version of reports or Report Server projects. You set Report Server project properties to specify the version of the report server to deploy reports to and how to handle warnings and errors which might occur when up either upgrade a report from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2, or revert a report from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2008"
The result is that with 2008r2 tools installed you have no choice but to upgrade the project file to 2008R2, however within the project you specify the target SQL Server version. This determines whether .RDLs get upgraded or not.
