Planning Critical design points
PowerPivot embedded data is a copy from the original sources; data moves with the workbook
Document-centric view of the data – meaning that approval workflow, check-in/out, document retention, moving and deleting the file also moves the data
Permissions are set against the file and embedded data inherits them

PowerPivot embedded data is a copy from the original sources; data moves with the workbook
Clicking on a slicer, taking snapshots for Gallery, etc. is done against the embedded data (copy)
How to update the embedded data?
(1) Pull the data down to client, update and republish to SP
(2) Use the build-in scheduled data refresh facility

Focus is on personal and team BI
100’s of fairly large workbooks (by Excel standards) used by hundreds of users
Not one workbook used by 100’s of users For example, in V1, we only load a workbook on one server (all users use this single copy)

“Existing Server”:
First, why run it at all? Why not just use “New Server” all of the time?
You might already have a SharePoint Farm up and running
You may have multiple machines with their own configuration
You might desire a dedicated SQL RDBMS (a well-known SharePoint best practice)

Planning Capacity planning (long term)
“New Server”
(1)
‘alias’ the SharePoint RDBMS physically moves the database, but the SharePoint configuration remains intact
Single Server
(2)
‘migrate’ the SharePoint RDBMS so that the SharePoint configuration sees the database server in its true location
Single Server
(3)
Single Server
Multiple Servers
Scale-out the farm by adding servers – all servers in NLB; all servers providing all services
(4)
Specialize the farm; add app servers which are tied to various services (size, scale and configure)
WFE

1/17/2019 1:16 AM
Deployment Tips and Tricks
If you can, start with ‘New Server’
Read BOL for setup instructions
To get full features, you will most likely have post-setup products to install
Don’t bother to get error msgs from user
Just ask them date/time and go directly to ULS
Key validations:
In Excel Services, <click> on a slicer and render new data

31. Managing PowerPivot for SharePoint
PowerPivot is managed as a service in SharePoint
SharePoint Central Administration is where you perform all of the configuration and management
Create and manage service applications
Start/stop services
Manage timer jobs

32. PowerPivot Management Dashboard
Key Questions
What are the mission-critical self-service BI applications?
Is our infrastructure properly supporting self-service?
Are user’s workbooks being refreshed properly?
Which self-service BI applications are built on top of our key source systems?
