Agenda Intros What’s old for BI in SharePoint
Changes to Excel Services Changes to PerformancePoint Changes to SQL Server Reporting Services Upgrading Q&A How many people work with BI in SharePoint. Specifically Excel, PP4SP, SSRS, PerformancePoint Cover a little history first to spot the trends URL at bottom links to the deck
5
SharePoint 2007 BI was one of the 6 core pillars
6
SharePoint 2007 BI Office Group SQL Group Excel Services
SharePoint Filters SharePoint KPIs Business Connectivity Services Visio Services SQL Group SQL Server Reporting Services PerformancePoint SharePoint had a lot of BI “like” features, but real feature was Excel Specifically, Excel connected to SQL Server and SSAS
7
SharePoint 2010 BI Office Group SQL Group Excel Services
SharePoint Filters SharePoint KPIs Business Connectivity Services Visio Services SQL Group SQL Server Reporting Services PerformancePoint The SP2010 Wheel renamed a few workloads but no fundamental changes
8
SharePoint 2010 BI Office Group SQL Group Excel Services
PerformancePoint Services SharePoint Filters Chart Web Part SharePoint KPIs Business Data Connectivity Access Services Visio Services SQL Group SQL Server Reporting Services Power Pivot for SharePoint - The big change was that PerformancePoint moved into the Office group - How much innovation has been seen in PerformancePoint since this change?
9
SharePoint 2013 BI Office Team SQL Team
Excel Services PerformancePoint Services SharePoint Filters Business Data Connectivity Access Services Visio Services SQL Server Reporting Services Power Pivot for SharePoint In 2013 the pie disappeared for marketing but the fundamental distribution of features remained the same Incremental improvements to scalability and manageability in 2013,
10
SharePoint 2013 BI Workhorses
Office Team SQL Team Excel Services PerformancePoint SharePoint Filters SQL Server Reporting Services Power Pivot for SharePoint - Here are the real BI features, the workhorses
11
SharePoint 2013 BI Core Pillars
Office Team SQL Team Excel Services PerformancePoint SQL Server Reporting Services Power Pivot for SharePoint Filters however perform a supporting role We are left with the 4 major pillars 2 are part of the product, and 2 are not Remainder of talk looks at what’s new for these 4 pillars
12
Excel Services and PowerPivot for SharePoint
- We’ll take Excel Services and PowerPivot for SharePoint together
13
Excel Services vs Office Web Apps
Office Web App Server Renders Excel files in a browser Read-Only Connects to back end data Excel Web Access Web Part Render Power View reports* Interact with PowerPivot models* Calculation engine via SOAP based web services API SharePoint Enterprise CAL required Renders Excel, Word, PowerPoint files in a browser Read/Write Limited back end data connections REST based web service No separate license required Fundamental difference between Excel Services and Office Web Apps Required the “choice” be made Excel Services has been around a long time
14
The Big News Summer announcement cereated a lot of confusion
16
Excel in SharePoint 2013 Excel Services Sharepoint 2013
SQL DB SSAS Tabular SSAS OLAP Other Data Sources Refresh workbook OLAP/Tabular interactivity SSAS Server 2012/2014 PP4SP Mode PP4SP View workbook with data model Use data model Use Power View Refresh data model Office Web Apps Server Refresh workbook (with limitations) OLAP/Tabular interactivity View/Edit workbook without data model
17
Excel in SharePoint 2016 Sharepoint 2016 Office Online Server
PP4SP Refresh data model Office Online Server View/Edit workbook with or without data model SQL DB SSAS Tabular SSAS OLAP Other Data Sources Refresh workbook OLAP/Tabular interactivity SSAS Server 2016 PowerPivot Mode Use data model Use Power View
18
Benefits Single architecture/feature set for Excel rendering
Excel Services no longer impacts SharePoint performance Licensing Available to Exchange, Skype Future Excel updates not locked to SharePoint No end user impact
19
Implications Complexity of setup (One more hop)
No GUI for configuration – use PowerShell only Office Online Server requires separate server and is mandatory Some deprecated features Excel Web Parts/Web Services must be added manually Power View requires SSRS Integrated mode
20
Deprecated/Changed Features
Shared Data Connection Library Unattended Service Account File Access Method Throttling/restrictions Cross Domain Access Max sessions per user Load balancing scheme Data Connections Libraries now optional UDF Assemblies deployed to OOS ODC files require Server to Server Auth (S2S) IT Management Dashboard not in CA IT Management Dashboard requires S2S Workbook as data source requires Kerberos(KCD) between OOS and SharePoint WFEs C2WTS Runs on OOS machine SSAS must trust OOS for EffectiveUserName Requires SSMS 2016
21
New Features Power Query refresh in PowerPivot for SharePoint *
Excel 2016 Data model support Data model editing support Excel JavaScript API support Closer parity with Excel 2016 client Search in filters, value field settings, Comments, print selection *Not there yet in SQL Server 2016 RTM
22
Excel Services Authentication Settings
23
Enable Excel Services Functions
$Farm = Get-SPFarm $Farm.Properties.Add("WopiLegacySoapSupport", " $Farm.Update()
24
Installation Changes (PP4SP)
Service application and SSAS PP4SP now separate installation SSAS Instance now referred to as Power Pivot mode
25
Power View Silverlight Dependency
Don’t forget – Power View actually requires SSRS be set up!
26
Changes to Excel 2016 client
PowerPivot = Power Pivot (or “Manage Data Model”) Power Query = “Get & Transform” Power View = Power View (if you can find it) Power Map = 3D Maps
27
Power View Future Added to Excel 2013 Silverlight dependency
Hidden from the ribbon by default in 2016 Requires both PowerPivot for Sharepoint and SSRS Integrated mode in SharePoint 2016
29
PerformancePoint Services

Native Mode Integrated Mode Separate storage system Separate security model No SharePoint requirement New features supported Hybrid options Document Library Containers SharePoint security model SharePoint Service application Easy administration Easy Scaling Licensing burden Power View support Native Mode FTW
44
SSRS Native Mode in SharePoint
Native mode web parts ship with SQL Server Unchanged from SSRS 2008 R2 Native SP Integrated
45
Future options?

54
Key Takeaways Changes to Excel/PowerPivot primarily architectural
Office Online Server required Increased reliance on Kerberos Changes to SSRS primarily features based Use Power Query for all Excel data models (soon) De-emphasize PerformancePoint Explore Power BI
