8. Increase Efficiency
Reporting Services is now configured and monitored
like other SharePoint shared applications.
Maximum set of SharePoint IT management
capability enabled
Lower TCO on IT who can now leverage existing
SharePoint skillset and experience.

9. SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits
 Unified Administration through the SSRS
SharePoint 2010 Shared service
– SSRS is hosted in SharePoint 2010 Shared Service App
pool
– SSRS catalog DBs are managed as SharePoint Service
App DBs
– Central Admin UI for all SSRS configuration and
administration
– PowerShell Cmdlets

10. SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits
 Improved Communication and
Authentication
– Support for consuming reports cross-farm
– WCF and Claims based communication
 Better Performance for RDL Reports
– Parity with Native mode performance
– Faster than 2008 R2 SharePoint mode by 30-60%

11. SSRS SharePoint Integration Benefits
 Easier Deployment
– SQL Setup option for SSRS SharePoint service
– Built-in Scale-out and Load Balancer
 Self-service BI components (PowerView,
PowerPivot)
 End-User Alerting

12. SSRS “Denali” Architecture

16. Reporting Services 2012 Architecture
• SSRS is now a SharePoint
Service Application
• WFE uses the SA Proxy to
communicate with SSRS SA
machine instances
• You must have C2WTS
running on each machine
instance running SSRS
• In-built Load Balancing
between WFE and SSRS SA

17. SSRS 2012 Installation SharePoint mode – Single Server
• SQL Setup Installs
• SSRS Add-In for SharePoint
• SSRS Shared Service
• After SQL Setup Finishes
• Create SSRS Service
Application
• SharePoint Central Admin is
used to configure and
manage SSRS Application

18. SSRS 2012 Installation SharePoint mode – Multi Tier
• WFE
• RS Add-In for SharePoint
on all WFE computers
• Either SQL Setup or
download add-in
• App server
• RS Shared Service on all
App servers
• SQL setup need to run

19. Upgrade
 SQL 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint 2010 is backwards
compatible
 Works with SQL 2008 or SQL 2008R2 RS Servers
 Upgrade for Single Computer Deployment
 Run SQL Setup and Choose Upgrade
 Upgrade for Multiple Computer Deployment
 Install SQL 2012 RS Add-in for SharePoint 2010 on each SharePoint WFE node
 Run SQL Setup on each Application Tier node and choose upgrade
 Shared Service application is created during upgrade

20. Migration
 Create the new SharePoint environment by installing SharePoint pre-requisite
installer, SharePoint server, SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services SharePoint mode
 Backup SSRS Encryption Key
 Backup SharePoint Content DBs
 Backup SSRS catalog DBs
 Copy rsreportserver.config file if you
there are any customizations to the file
 Restore SharePoint Content DBs
 Restore SSRS Encryption Key
 Restore SSRS Catalog DB
 Copy file rsreportserver.config
 Configure a new Reporting Services
Application using the copied SSRS DB

22. Scale-out Mode
• Built-in Network Load Balancer
• Eliminates need for SW/HW NLB from WFE to App Tier
• Configuration is reused eliminating configuration work
• Need to install SSRS Shared Service on each machine

23. PowerView Architecture
NOTE: NOT SUPPORTED FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SSAS INSTANCE

24. Configure to host BISM (BI Semantic Model) Connection

30. Configure Constrained Delegation
• C2WTS Service needs to be running on all the App
Servers where we need delegation, Identify the
accounts that are using for services.
• Add the service accounts to the Local Security
Policy on Active Directory for these roles:
• Act as part of the operating system
• Impersonate client after authentication
• Logon as service
• Configure delegation – Login to Active Directory
Users & Computers and configure delegation for
these Service accounts for all the data sources

31. Simple Architecture (Development)

32. Scale-out Architecture (PROD/QA)
