7. Upgrade Impacts Existing reports continue to work
8/9/2019 9:18 PM
Upgrade Impacts
Existing reports continue to work
Existing applications continue to work
Existing data sources can be used for reports
RS 2005 can use SQL Server 2000 data sources (AS & SQL)
3rd party data sources do not need to change
WMI provider is changed
New namespace, much richer
Old namespace is not supported in RS 2005
Changed location on disk
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Reporting Services\ReportServer

8. Upgrade Impacts: Existing Reports
2000 RDL (Report Definition Language)
Can be published to RS 2005
RDL is not changed when setting/getting from server
Published Reports
Snapshot format is upgraded on the fly at first access
Report Designer
2000
Requires Visual Studio .Net 2003
Does not work on Visual Studio 2005
VS .Net 2003 and VS 2005 run side-by-side
2005
Requires Visual Studio 2005 IDE – included in SQL Server 2005 box
Upgrades RS 2000 RDLs on first load
Does not output RS 2000 RDLs

9. Upgrading Relational Engine
8/9/2019 9:18 PM
Upgrading Relational Engine
NOT REQUIRED to upgrade Reporting Services
Relational Engine upgrade changes:-
Files on disk
Database format
Does not affect RSDB contents nor schema
If Report Server and SQL Relational Engine are in different instances:
You can upgrade Report Server without upgrading RE
You can upgrade RE without upgrading Report Server
If Report Server and SQL Relational Engine are in the same instance (Default):
Either upgrade RS and RE at same time
Or migrate RS to another computer/instance

10. Upgrading SQL Server Analysis Services

11. Analysis Services Upgrade Options
Just run the installation and chose to upgrade the existing instance.
Runs the migration process under the hood
Reuse of existing hardware and IP addresses etc
Migration
Supports migrating individual databases
Enables customer to move databases one by one through migrate  process  verify  production
Side by side comparison with AS2000 possible
Easier to troubleshoot upgrade issues
AS2000 data is available to user during migration procedure
Redesign
Makes best use of new features
Takes resources to redeploy

12. Upgrade Advisor Known Upgrade Issues
8/9/2019 9:18 PM
Upgrade Advisor Known Upgrade Issues
Run Upgrade Advisor before any Migration or Upgrade!
Discontinued:
Virtual cubes, virtual dimension, custom level formulas
Mostly replaced by other features
Linked measure groups, multiple hierarchies, MDX scripts
Deprecated:
ie may be discontinued in next release (after SQL2005)
Calculated cells, cell evaluation list…
Behavioral changes in some features
Check Books Online for all upgrade issues and mitigations

13. Upgrade/Migration logic
8/9/2019 9:18 PM
Upgrade/Migration logic
Upgrade/migration logic does best possible job while preserving compatibility with AS2000 database
Query results, schema rowsets, unique names, etc.
Some objects/features are not migrated:
Drill through
Linked cubes and dependant objects
Remote partitions
However migrated database is not best practice for AS2005
Different from database redesigned using AS2005 tools
