Background

The SQL Server 2014  Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products integrates a Reporting Services report server with a deployment of Microsoft  SharePoint products ®. The Reporting Services Add-in provides the following functionality:

  • Ad-hoc data exploration and visualization with Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server Enterprise Edition.

  • Open reports in Report Builder from a SharePoint library, and save reports to SharePoint libraries.

  • A Report Viewer Web Part, which provides report-viewing, exports to multiple rendering formats, page navigation, search report content, print, and zoom.

  • Web pages so that in SharePoint you can: create Reporting Services subscriptions and schedules, and manage reports and data sources.

  • Use of report server content types with standard SharePoint features that include: document management, collaboration, security, and deployment.

  • A Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part you can add to any page or dashboard on a SharePoint site and customize its appearance.

  • Control access to report server content through SharePoint permission levels and roles. You can also use SharePoint forms authentication to support access over internet connections.

  • A delivery extension that you can use with Reporting Services subscriptions to deliver reports to SharePoint libraries.

  • Publish reports from Report Designer to a SharePoint library.

  • A Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) endpoint to manage report server content in SharePoint integrated mode.

Requirements and Supported Combinations

To Install the Reporting Services Add-in

To install the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint products, you must be an administrator on the computer and a member of the SharePoint Farm Administrators group. In a SharePoint farm deployment, the add-in must be installed on each web front-end server (WFE).

The add-in can be installed using one of the following methods.

For more information, see Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=301853).

Upgrade

If you have an existing installation of the Reporting Services Add-in, you can upgrade to the current version. Setup removes the older version of the add-in and then the new version is installed.

The Reporting Services Add-in is not instance-aware. You can only have one instance of the add-in on a computer.

Installation Order

The exact steps that you take to install and configure the Reporting Services Add-in vary depending on your requirements and the order that you install the different technologies.

Note: The add-in can be installed before installing a SharePoint product or after SharePoint installation. The advantage of installing the add-in before the SharePoint product is that as new servers are added to the farm, the Reporting Services Add-in is configured and activated by the SharePoint farm.

Existing SharePoint farm

To install and configure Reporting Services on an existing SharePoint farm, do the following step-by-step procedures in this order:

  1. Install the SharePoint add-in on all web front-end (WFE) computers.

  2. Install SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services.

  3. Create at least one Reporting Services service application and configure service application association.

  4. Add Reporting Services content types to your document library.

  5. Verify SQL Server Agent is running and provisioned. For more information, see Provision Subscriptions and Alerts for SSRS Service Applications (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=302099).

  6. Configure e-mail settings for your service application.

  7. For reports with data external to the SharePoint farm and requiring Windows Integrated credentials, ensure the SharePoint Claims to Windows Token shared service (C2WTS) is configured to allow access to the external data sources. For more information on C2WTS, see Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=302100).
