Business Intelligence (BI) with Reporting Services in SharePoint 2010

This is the sixth and last article of a series to review the
following five BI vehicles in SharePoint 2010:

 

 

Business reports back in mainframe and early PC days used to
be tedious to generate, ill to read, and painful to share. The administration
and skills needed to organize, develop, and distribute data and reports are not
trivial. I can still remember my consultant days working on JCLs and COBOL for
customizing business reports in various mainframe shops. Today with some key
integrations and tools, it is much easier to generate reports using web services
and report generator.

 

In SharePoint 2010, a report server can be configured as
part of a SharePoint deployment.
The integration is provided through
SQL Server and the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products.
This integration provides benefits in storage, security, and document access.
Once configured, opening a report in SharePoint will behind the scene establish
a session with the associated Report Server which retrieves and processes the
data followed by displaying the results in Report Viewer Web Part in SharePoint. Essentially
the reporting services can now be consumed directly from SharePoint document
libraries with SharePoint content management and security models. The following
depicts the architecture and the steps to enable this integration:

 

 

  1. Install SharePoint 2010.
  2. Install SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services and
    specify that the report server uses SharePoint Integrated mode. See below.
  3. Configure Reporting Services.
  4. Install the Reporting Services Add-in and configure the report server on the
    SharePoint including security and content type.
  5. Verify the installation.

In addition, SQL Reporting Services is also integrated with Report
Builder 3.0
which is a feature-rich report authoring tools for end users. Sparklines and
data bars
, maps, and indicators
are some of the new features to enhance data visualization of KPIs in a
report
. For those who would like to learn more, there is much
information readily available for mastering Report Builder 3.0
