Best Practices SQL Server 2005, SSRS, SSAS, SSIS Setup
Oct 8, 2007
I would like to know best practices for setting up my environment. To date, I've had everything running on a single server. That would include the database engine, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. The box configuration is dual hyperthreaded 3.6GHz Xenon with 4GB of RAM on Windows Server 2003. I just received a much larger server and want to configure it to maximize our environment. The new box contains four 2.6GHz Quad Core processors with 16GB of RAM. I would like to know if I should split the ETL and database engine from SSAS and SSRS, or should this box have enough horse power to house it all and use my other box as a dev environment. Also, we are planning to purchase Performance Point 2007 primarily for PAS and Scorecard Manager so please take that into consideration as well. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi everybody.
I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
Thank you very much!

So, I just downloaded and installed Windows 8 and SQL Server 2014 Developer. I used to have Visual Studio, that seems to be gone now. Can't find it. I can't figure out a way to get to SSIS or SSAS.

Hello,
I am currently creating reports using SSRS 2005 on my local machine.
I think I will have to set up a report server machine so that each time I deploy the created reports from my machine to the report server.
How do I create and setup the report server to hold the reports please?
Thanks

Evening,
I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi all,
I'm sure what I am trying to do is very simple - but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a report based on a SSAS cube (SQL 2005). The report shows sales based on the dates the user selects from the parameter field (the date parameter field comes from a Y-Q-M-D hierarchy). This all works fine.
What I would like to happen is for the members within the last 3 months to be automatically selected so that the report automatically executes for the last 3 months.
Can anyone help or offer any advice. If possible I would like to achieve this using the GUI features so that power users can use the "plug and pray interface".
Many thanks
Matt

Has anyone managed to crack getting multi-select parameters to work from an SSRS 2005 report which is querying an SSAS 2000 cube.
SSRS 2005 does support Multiselect, however SSRS 2000 did not. Given that i am querying an SSAS 2000 cube, i get the impression that i am also limited to SSRS 2000 functionality regarding to multi-select parameters.
Is there anyone out there that ever managed to get a wor around, say by using filters on a table or anything really that coud simulate the same behaviour....

I am very keen to go into the BI area with SQL 2005, somebody suggested me to go more specialized in SSIS and SSAS. I heard there is a certified programme in BI track which was just launched last year by Microsoft, but I couldn't find the info anymore, could anybody here help providing some information for me to get started?
I do not have any MCSE yet. Is there a need to get some basic MCSE before jumping into the BI track?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I€™ve developed a BI system using the SQL Server 2005 Developer€™s Edition.
SSAS, SSIS and SSRS have been added to a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Server in preparation for delivering the developed database to this live environment.
So I am able to connect directly to the Database Engine, SSAS, SSIS and SSRS successfully from the actual SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition box which is sat on a Windows 2003 Server operating system.
However when I launch SQL Server Management Studio from a desk top PC which is connected to the SQL Server Standard Edition box I can€™t connect to either SSIS or SSRS, however I can connect to the Database Engine and it also seems that I can connect to SSAS OK.
I am using Windows Authentication where the I used a SQL Server account which exists with €œsysadmin€? permissions and this SQL Server account has the same login name as the Windows Server 2003 desktop login.
What do I do next please?

Hello all,
I'm finding the documentation online to upgrading from 2000 to 2005 fairly poor.
What are the upgrading options and which one is the best option for a web server database.
Also what are best practices pre-upgrade, during upgrade and post-upgrade.
Cannot find much online.
Also since this question will be asked often might as well make it a sticky.
Thanks

Re: Best Practices (security): Should SQL Server (2005) *not* be installed on the same physical HD as the Windows OS (Server 2003 R2) ?
Hi,
We're setting up some new servers, and today I'm looking into best practices for the SQL Server Setup portion of it.
The servers have include 2 x 250G HD, and from what I've read, where IIS is concerned, it should not be installed on the drive that has the OS on it, for security reasons. I was wondering if the installation of SQL Server should be on the non-OS drive as well ?
Thanx,

Microsoft recommends using Windows authentication instead of SQL Server authentication in SQL Server 2005 for improved security. What are the Microsoft best practices for implementing this? Will be helpful if someone also provides some links that talks about this....

I need to deploy some SSIS packages onto a remote Integration Server machine. Hence
I wrote a VS 2005 Setup with Custom Action (C# Installer class) which uses the
SSIS DTSX Dlls to deploy the Packages onto an Integration Server. I am shipping
all the necessary DLLs in the MSI itself, so that the MSI can run on any client
machine having just .NET 2.0 Framework installed.
When I run the Setup on a Machine having Integration Server, the Setup works
fine and the Packages are deployed.
However, if I try to run the MSI on a machine which just has the .NET 2.0
Framework installed, I get the following error.
SqlServer.DTS.Runtime.Application could not be created. Retrieving the COM
class factory for component with CLSID
{E44847F1-FD8C-4251-B5DA-B04BB22E236E} failed due to the following error.
80040154
I am not sure whether any of the DLLS are COM components. I believe all are
Managed DLLs.I believe SSIS 2005 looks like a pre-requisite but I don't need that.
Please help. I am posting this query here, as I believe ppl writing SSIS Packages may have faced this issue.

Hi,
I'm using SSAS 2005 cube as Data Source for my SSRS 2005 report. The report has parameters as well.
The requirement is that I want to pass parameters to the report using my own UI.
My questions are:
1. "How to pass parameters to my report using my UI?" I'm developing the UI using VS2003 (the client's requirement).
2. Is there any ReportViewer control available in Framework 1.x?
3. I'm also using a drilldown sub-report with the same report. I'm passing parameter values to the sub-report selecting the fields of my data. But when the sub-report is opened, it gives an error saying "The parameter 'X' is not assigned a value".
Can anybody help on any or all of these?

Thanks in Advance,

We're setting up a test and development envorinment and would like some advice on the best deployment of the SQL 2005 components.
Some people seem to advise to have
Machine1 SSIS & Database engine
Machine2 SSAS
Machine3 SSRS
Others say it's OK to put SSRS & SSAS on same box.
Others say it's fine to run all on one box.
Anyone have any rule of thumb advice or links to such ?
Cheers,

Have a production server, 12 Enterprise, and we are adding a new app to an existing instance. Â Next app needs SSRS and that was not put in the install request a year ago for the instance. Â
I do not think a reboot is required but have been wrong before. There are no SPs applied to this server and only last week we were given go ahead from one app vendor to apply SPs. Â That would have been done in monthly maintenance cycle next weekend. Â Our test server is doing just fine with all apps on SP1.

Does the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition include both of these:
Reporting Services?
Analysis Services?
( Also -- Anyone know where I can see a list of all the differences between Dev Edition and other SQL Server editions?)

I have a measure in a SSAS cube that uses AggregateFunction "Sum". Dimension usage seems to be right so that it sums correctly.
But when I try to use same measure in SSRS report it comes out all wrong.
TO be precise the measure is called "CalendarDays" and it's the number of days in a month (28,29,30 or 31). Say I have 5 products and 4 years, If I look at this in the cube browser then the CalendarDays column aggregates correctly to 365 or 366 for each year even with the five products and 12 months in the rows.
However if I do a SSRS report by product and month with subtotals of years, then SUM(CalendarDays) adds up all the CalendarDays for each month and each product (ie 5 x 365 or 366). If I leave out "SUM" and just enter =Fields!CalendarDays in the subtotal then it doesn't aggregate at all, it jsut gives the first value (ie 31).
How can I get SSRS to aggregate the same way as the cube?

Hi
I've made my Cube having two language support - Japanese and English. For that I'm keeping two description columns relavent to language and mapping in dimenstion attribute translation. Till that it is fine. In SQL 2005 Analysis Services Browser it working very fine. But when I use this cube with SSRS, I've made Custom parameter for Language. And based on that I'm chaning Report.Language property for the selected language. It is working fine in case of Report Data. It is converting data in Japanese when I select Japanese Language and translating in English when I select English. But Problem is that Parameter's data is not chaning when I change the language. I supposed to that when I'm changing Report.Language to Japanese then Parameter's data should be changed in Japanese. Please help how it can be possible.
Thanks in Advance.

I have a vision of a beautifully interlocked Business Intelligence system in which I load dimensional fact tables through SSIS, build aggregations in SSAS cubes, and quickly and easily generate SSRS reports using the cubes as data marts.
I am now a month into trying to implement this vision and Reality is stomping all over it. Primarily, I am running into issues with the "cube as a data mart" idea. Each cube is taking up an additional gig or two of space, report queries against them seem to take longer than a straight SQL query against my fact tables, and I am running into serious problems trying to pass time-related calculations such as Year-To-Date to my reports.
Has anyone else tried setting up a BI system that uses cubes as the primary drivers for their reports? Have you seen any benefits to doing it that way? Or should I generate most of my reports through the SQL tables?
I'm nearing the point-of-no-return in choosing my final methodology, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am new to SSIS, but done alot of DTS 2000 development.
What is the concensus for developing SSIS packages? Do you just place objects and change the properties of each object, having multiple objects basically doing the same thing, with different properties? Or do you set object's properties and then change properties by code in scripts? Ie Execute SQL, setting connections and SQL Statement by code in a script? Is this even possible? With Microsoft OOP I assume this is possible.
Script> Set properties of ExecuteSQL > set flow to ExecuteSQL.
Thanks!
