What is reporting services




















A shared dataset is published on a report server and can be used by multiple reports. A shared dataset must be based on a shared data source. A shared dataset can be cached and scheduled by creating a cache refresh plan.

Embedded datasets. Embedded datasets are defined in and used by a single report. Report parameters are a part of a report definition. You can add parameters to Reporting Services paginated and mobile reports to link related reports, to control the report appearance, to filter report data, or to narrow the scope of a report to specific users or locations.

When a paginated report is published to a native report server or SharePoint site, report parameters are saved as a separate report server item. Parameters can be managed independently from the report definition. To create multiple sets of parameters for the same report, create linked reports. A report item is an internal but basic concept in a Reporting Services paginated report definition.

Properties of a report item apply to data regions, maps, text boxes, images, and other design elements that you add to a report. Understanding the properties of a report item can help you to design customized report content and appearance. For example, all report items have a Hidden property to control visibility. A data region is a layout element that displays data from a single dataset in a Reporting Services paginated report. Data region types include tablix, chart, gauge, and indicator. Map is a special type of data region because it can display data from two datasets: one that contains spatial data and one that contains analytical data.

Use data regions to enable common data visualizations: numbers and text in a table, matrix, or list; graphical displays in a chart or gauge; and geographic displays against a map. Tables, matrices, and lists are all based on the tablix data region, which expands as needed to display all the data from the dataset.

A tablix data region supports multiple row and column groups and both static and dynamic rows and columns. A chart displays multiple series and category groups in a variety of chart formats. A gauge displays a single value or an aggregated value for a dataset. A map displays spatial data as map elements that can vary in appearance based on aggregated data from a dataset. A table is a data region that presents data row by row.

Table columns are static: you determine the number of columns when you design your report. Table rows are dynamic: they expand downwards to accommodate the data. You can add groups to tables, which organize data by selected fields or expressions. A matrix is also known as a crosstab. A matrix data region contains both dynamic columns and rows: they expand to accommodate the data.

A matrix can have dynamic columns and rows and static columns and rows. Columns or rows can contain other columns or rows, and can be used to group data.

A list is a data region that presents data arranged in a freeform fashion. You can arrange report items to create a form with text boxes, images, and other data regions placed anywhere within the list. A chart presents data graphically. Examples of charts include bar, pie, and line charts, but many more styles are supported. A gauge presents data as a range with an indicator pointing to a specific value within the range.

Gauges are used to display key performance indicators KPIs and other metrics. Examples of gauges include linear and circular. A map enables you to present data against a geographical background. Spatial data consists of sets of coordinates that define polygons that represent shapes or areas, lines that represent routes or paths, and points represented by markers.

You can associate aggregate data with map elements to automatically vary their color and size. For example, you can vary the marker type for a store based on sales amount or the color for a road based on speed limit. You can also include values from datasets that are not linked to the data region in the following ways:. Value, "AnnualSales". A report part definition. You create report parts by creating a report definition, and then selecting report items in the report to publish separately as report parts.

Report parts include data regions, rectangles and their contained items, and images. You can save a report part with its dependent datasets and shared data source references so it can be reused in other reports. A data alert is an item stored internally in an alerting database.

A data alert definition includes which data to use from existing report data feeds, the conditions to be met, a schedule, and recipients for the alert. Data alerts are available only on reports published to a report server integrated with SharePoint Server. Data alerts are not available on a native report server installation. Tag your favorites reports for quick access.

Those with appropriate permissions are able to manage and administer SSRS content. And you can still schedule report processing, access reports on demand, and subscribe to published reports in the new web portal.

More about the Web portal. You publish reports to Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode. You can schedule report processing, access reports on demand, subscribe to published reports, and export reports to other applications such as Microsoft Excel. Create data alerts on reports published to a SharePoint site and receive email messages when report data changes.

Take advantage of Reporting Services programming features so you can extend and customize your reporting functionality. More Reporting Services Developer Documentation. Install Reporting Services. The following screen will be displayed: Once the installation is completed, the following screen will be displayed Restart the system.

In Report Server Configuration Manager, select the report server database in the Database menu, and restore the backup of the encryption key in the Encryption keys menu. One moment please If you already have this tool in place, you can skip to the next section. Microsoft is now releasing new versions of SSMS on a frequent basis, so it is no longer installed during the database engine installation. You can also find a link on the Installation page of the SQL Server Installation Center, if you used this to install your instance.

You can launch it again from the Windows Start menu. Figure 12 shows where you can find the link. Once you have downloaded the media for SSMS, just run the installation wizard accepting the defaults. Previous versions of SQL Server allowed you to include SSRS during the installation of the database engine, but that is no longer the case beginning with Installing them together was quite convenient since the installation took care of the SSRS configuration for you automatically.

Now, you must download the media separately and configure SSRS yourself. Save and run the downloaded file. To get the installation started, click Install Reporting Services shown in Figure Click through the installation wizard.

The most important question for you to answer is to specify the edition. Make sure that you select the Developer edition. If you are required to restart, do that first.

After you restart, you will need to launch the Report Server Configuration Manager. Either way you launch Report Server Configuration Manager, you will need to connect as shown in Figure Leave Create a new report server database selected and click Next as shown in Figure On the following screen, make sure that the local computer name is filled in. On the next page, you will specify the SSRS database name.

The default database name is ReportServer. Figure 20 shows that you can leave it at the default and click Next. Complete the wizard to create the database. Again, leave the defaults in place and click Apply as shown in Figure Make a note of the URL. Once done, exit out of the Report Server Configuration Manager. Now that the SSRS service is in place, the next step is installing the development tool. The instructions in this section cover the instructions. You will need to scroll down the web page to find the link for SSDT standalone installer as shown in Figure Once downloaded, run the file.

You may have trouble connecting to your local SQL Server instance for a couple of reasons.
