SQL SERVER REPORTING SERVICES
2012 (POWER VIEW))
WHAT’S NEW IN SSRS 2012?
SQL Server 2008 R2 was an exciting release for Reporting Services. It gave us features
such as:
- Shared Data Sets
- Report Parts
- New Visualization, including spatial visualizations
There’s are also significant changes and new features to SSRS 2012 – but a some of these
can only be materialized if you are using SSRS 2012 integrated in SharePoint 2010.
Nonetheless these are still pretty exciting changes, and can change the landscape of
reporting for our end users (read: more Self Service BI):
Power View
Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization,
and presentation experience. It provides drag-and-drop ad hoc reporting for business users
such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers. Power View
reports are in a new file format, RDLX.
Power View expands on the self-service BI capabilities delivered with PowerPivot for
Excel and PowerPivot for SharePoint by enabling customers to visualize and interact with
modeled data in a meaningful way, using interactive visualizations, animations, and smart
querying. It is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from within SharePoint
Server 2010 that enables users to present and share insights with others in their organization
through interactive presentations.
Based on Tabular Models
With Power View, customers start from an SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS)
tabular model to build their reports. Tabular models use metadata to present an underlying
data source to end users, with predefined relationships and behaviors, in terms they
understand.

Coexists with Report Builder
Power View does not replace Report Builder, the report authoring tool for richly designed
operational reports. Power View addresses the need for Web-based, ad hoc reporting. It co-
exists with the latest version of Report Builder, which also ships in SQL Server 2012.
SharePoint Mode
SharePoint integration has been re-architected to greatly improve the SharePoint IT
administrator experience, the end user experience, and supportability. The new architecture
is implemented as a SharePoint 2010 shared service. The shared service architecture allows
Reporting Services to leverage many of the IT features of SharePoint products. The
following is a list of some of the benefits from this release:
Configuration of Reporting Services SharePoint mode is now completely supported
through SharePoint Central Administration using management pages for Reporting
Services service applications or using Reporting Services SharePoint mode
PowerShell cmdlets.
Important
Reporting Services Configuration Manager no longer supports Reporting Services
SharePoint mode. Configuration of SharePoint mode is completed using SharePoint
Central Administration.
Leverage SharePoint scale-out functionality for Reporting Services Service
Applications.
The new Reporting Services shared service is hosted in SharePoint Shared Service
Application pool.
The new Reporting Services service applications support Claims based
authentication.
SharePoint cross-farm support for viewing reports.
Support for SharePoint backup and recovery and end-to-end SharePoint ULS
logging.
Data Alerts
Reporting Services data alerts are a data-driven alerting solution that informs you about
changes in report data that are of interest to you, and at a relevant time.
Imagine a sales report that contains information such as year-to-day sales, average monthly
sales, and sales targets for sales persons by territory. As a sales person, you would like to
know how you are doing. By creating a data alert on the sales report, you can receive
messages whenever year-to-date sales exceed or fall below a specified value or contain data

that you consider noteworthy. Rules in the data alert definition specify the data values to
trigger the data alert. By using AND, OR operators in the rules you can combine many
clauses into complex rules that define precisely the report data values you want to be
notified of.
In some cases, the presence of any data in a report is of interest. For example, a report that
lists cancelled orders becomes interesting when the first cancellation occurs. You can create
data alerts on reports in which the presence of data, rather than specific data values, is
important.
Data alerts messages are sent by email. Depending on the importance of the information,
you can choose to send alert messages more or less frequently and only when results
change. You can specify multiple recipients for the alert messages and this way keep others
informed and enhance efficiency and collaboration. If you want to send alert messages
immediately, you can run data alerts directly instead of waiting for them to run
automatically at the scheduled time.
The following summarizes the key areas of data alerting:
Define and save data alert definitions—User views a report, adds a data alert,
creates rules that identify interesting data values, defines recurrence patterns for
sending the alert, and specifies the recipients of the data alert message.
Run data alert definitions—Alerting service runs data alert definitions at a
scheduled time, retrieves report data, and triggers data alerts based on the rules in
the alert definition.
Deliver data alert messages to recipients—Alerting service creates an alert instance
and sends data alert messages by email to recipients.
Data alerts provide the following tools for creating and managing data alert instances and
definitions:
Data Alert Designer—Users create and edit data alert definitions.
Data Alert Manager for users—Users view information about their data alerts,
delete their data alert definitions, or open alert definitions for editing.
Data Alert Manager for alerting administrators—Alerting administrators view a list
of data alerts created by all users on the SharePoint site and delete alerts.
Report Server Projects in SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio
In SQL Server 2012, SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is an add-in to Visual Studio. Report
server projects created in SQL Server 2008 R2 can be opened directly into SQL Server
Data Tools (SSDT). Projects created in SQL Server 2008 are automatically upgraded when
opened in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). For ease of managing your existing and new
report server projects, you can continue to add projects created in SQL Server 2008 R2 and
SQL Server 2008 to a SQL Server 2012 business intelligence solution.

You can also continue to open and edit reports that use the 2005 and 2008 RDL schemas in
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). However, if you add a report item that is not compatible
with the schema used by a report, the report will be automatically upgraded to the 2010
RDL schema.
Excel Renderer for Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 and Microsoft Excel 2003
The Reporting Services Excel rendering extension, new in SQL Server 2012, renders a
report as an Excel document that is compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 as well as
Microsoft Excel 2003 with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint installed. The format is Office Open XML and the file extension is XLSX.
This Excel-rendering extension removes limitations of the earlier version, compatible with
Excel 2003. The following lists the improvement in the rendering extension:
Maximum rows per worksheet is 1,048,576.
Maximum columns per worksheet is 16,384.
Number of colors allowed in a worksheet is approximately 16 million (24-bit color).
ZIP compression provides smaller files sizes.
Word Renderer for Microsoft Word 2007-2010 and Microsoft Word 2003
The Reporting Services Word rendering extension, new in SQL Server 2012, renders a
report as a Word document that is compatible with Microsoft Word 2007-2010 as well as
Microsoft Word 2003 with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint installed. The format is Office Open XML and the file extension is DOCX.
In addition to making the features that are new in Word 2007-2010 available to exported
reports, *.docx files of exported reports tend to be smaller. Reports exported by using the
Word renderer are typically significantly smaller than the same reports exported by using
the Word 2003 renderer.

attach this file to the power point also for presentation purpose .
Note: This installation and configuration steps are bit lengthy and tricky but once you are complete with
the configuration you can create numerous users in your site and create BI Dash-Board were user can
create, edit, update reports in a very simple and easy manners and it just takes minutes to generate
reports using power view tools .
