SQL Server Reporting Services Concepts Topic 6.1 – Introduction to SQL Server Reporting Services Topic 6.2 – SQL Server Reporting Services Supporting Information Topic 6.3 – SQL Server Reporting Services Concepts Summary

SSRS Supporting Information Report Builder 3.0 Client: Used to author and publish new reports Designed to be used by end-users Users don’t need advanced SQL Queries knowledge Microsoft Visual Studio: A specialist report developer tool Requires a dedicated developer Must be knowledgeable on SQL Queries Knows the Project Server 2010 DB schema Specialize in report development

SSRS Supporting Information Shared Data Source: A file with an ‘.rsds’ extension Used to store the connection information SSRS leverages to access the data used in reports Queries used to target the data are not sored in the Shared Data Source (unlike ODC’s) Being shared, can be used by multiple reports to access a target data source

SSRS Supporting Information Report Model: A file with an ‘.smdl’ extension Contains metadata detailing data source and data relationships. Metadata is in the form of the Semantic Model Definition Language (SMDL) An XML based way of presenting model items Provides user friendly predefined entities Allows end-users to generate reports without prior knowledge of data structures. Used in Report Builder 3.0.

SSRS Supporting Information Report Definition Language: A file with an ‘.rdl’ extension Contains the definition of an SSRS report May have been developed either in Visual Studio or Report Builder 3.0. Definition includes all attributes of the report Also includes any queries that are needed to ensure the appropriate data is available to support the report information needs.

SSRS Supporting Information SSRS Architecture

SSRS Supporting Information SSRS is a set of: Processing components Tools Programmatic interfaces Support the development and use of rich reports in a managed environment. Includes: Development tools Configuration tools Administration tools Report viewing tools

SSRS Supporting Information Programmatic interfaces include: Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) URL Endpoints Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Allows for easy integration with new or existing applications and portals

SSRS Supporting Information Processing is distributed across multiple components. Central and specialized processors are used to: Retrieve data Process report layout Render presentation formats Deliver to target destinations

SSRS Supporting Information Presentation processing: Occurs after the data is retrieved Is decoupled from data processing Allows multiple users to review the same report simultaneously Reports can be in formats designed for different devices Viewing format can be changed quickly (HTML, PDF, Excel, XML etc…) with a single click The modular architecture is designed for extensibility.

PerformancePoint Services Concepts Topic 8.1 – Introduction to PerformancePoint Topic 8.2 – PerformancePoint Supporting Information Topic 8.3 – PerformancePoint Concepts Summary

Introduction to PerformancePoint ‘PerformancePoint Service Application’ is the name given in SharePoint to this SharePoint Service Application. Supports: Management of Reports built outside of PerformancePoint (Excel Services, SSRS, Visio Services, Word Automation Services, etc…) Chart creation Dashboard creation The management of those items in the BI Center

PerformancePoint Services Concepts Topic 8.1 – Introduction to PerformancePoint Topic 8.2 – PerformancePoint Supporting Information Topic 8.3 – PerformancePoint Concepts Summary

PerformancePoint Supporting Info The Business Intelligence Center features leverage the PerformancePoint Service Application in SharePoint Server 2010 as the base functionality for supporting the building and ongoing maintenance of both Charts and Dashboards It also can be used to manage reports created using other tools (Excel Services, SSRS, Visio Services, Word Automation Services, etc…), when targeted as content for Dashboards

PerformancePoint Supporting Info PerformancePoint is the mechanism that takes the various report types and combines them for display as Reports and in the Dashboard format Reports that you might use in an EPM Dashboard: Excel Services Reports SQL Server Reporting Services Reports PerformancePoint Analytic Charts and Grids

PerformancePoint Supporting Info The following report types can be implemented as part of an overall Business Intelligence strategy: Visio Services PowerPivot PerformancePoint Scorecard PerformancePoint Strategy Map PerformancePoint KPI Details Reports

PerformancePoint Supporting Info Ten Enterprise Project Management (EPM) default reports in Project Server 2010: Simple Project List Milestones Due This Month Resource Capacity Issues and Risks Deliverables Timesheet Actuals Rejected Projects Top Projects Workflow Chart Workflow Drilldown

PerformancePoint Supporting Info Fourteen Excel Services Templates and OLAP Cubes that are default in Project Server 2010: Assignment Non Timephased Assignment Timephased Deliverables EPM Timesheet Issues MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer MSP_Project_SharePoint MSP_Project_Timesheet Project Non Timephased Resource Non Timephased Resource Timephased Risks Task Non Timephased Timesheet

PerformancePoint Supporting Info Similar to analytic charts and grids, Excel Services reports are typically highly interactive Users can click to see lower levels of detail Users can export these reports to Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel and apply filters to them.

PerformancePoint Supporting Info Users can do the following in Analytic Charts and Grids: Drill down or up to see lower or higher levels of detail. Sort items in ascending or descending order. Filter out empty rows or columns, isolate an item, or remove an item from the report view. Apply top or bottom members in a group. Apply value filters, such as items greater than or less than an amount that you specify. Pivot a grid, or change a grid to an analytic chart. Use Additional Actions, which are defined in the Analysis Services cube. Show or hide information that is included in the chart or grid. Work with pages of grid data (useful when a query returns a large set of results). Launch a Decomposition Tree to view more information about a particular report value.

PerformancePoint Supporting Info SQL Server Reporting Services reports are typically highly interactive Depending on how reports are configured, Dashboard users can explore data by clicking, sorting, and scrolling through pages Users can also: Preview, adjust, and print one or more pages in the report. Apply one or more parameters without having to rerun a query to the database. Parameters are built-in filters that are specific to the report. Export data as image files, Adobe PDF files, Web files, or other formats that Microsoft applications recognize.
