I would like to get some advice on Visual Studio and Business Intelligence products. I currently work with SQL Server 2005 and I created an export package which I turned into an SSIS package. I would like to be able to change the SSIS package when I need to and I read that I needed Business Intelligence to modify the package. I installed the Business Intelligence software through our SQL Server install disks and still didn't see the Business Intelligence app in my program files. We have another server running SQL 2005 and I can modify SSIS packages there with BI but it has Visual Studio loaded on it. Do I need Visual Studio to use BI?
I have SQL 2005 reporting services installed and running, however I do not have the BI dev studio installed and cannot figure out how to get it installed.
The report server is operating correctly since I have developed reports on another pc using VS 2005 and uploaded them to the server.
How do I get the BI dev studio installed on the server?
I recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?
I downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Installs completed successfully, and I can launch the SS Management Studio, but when I launch SS Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get message saying "Windows is searching for devenv.exe". When I search for this file I don't find it on my hard drive.
I thought I'd reinstall the SS Express Edition Toolkit, but I can't find this application in the Control Panel Installed Programs list, so I can't uninstall it.
Any ideas as to how I can get SS Business Intelligence Studio working?
I have recently started working in a SQL 2005 (Enterprise Edition) clustered environment. I neeed to start using the Business Intelligence Development Studio but it is not installed.
I have tried re-running the setup but there is no component option for BIDS. At which point during installation does it get installed or what do I need to run to install it?
And if I do run setup again will it affect other installed components?
MSSQL 2005 Enterprise Edition version 9.00.3042.00 Windows 64 bit OS
I have started working on SQL server 2005 and realised that BIDS has not been installed, I tried to re-run setup again for integration services but I get an error saying that the version that is being installed is older than that already installed. I assuming that SP 2 has been installed (judging by the logs) Does anyone know how to install the BIDS application from the above scenario?
i have just installed the SQL Server 2005 eval version to try the Business Intelligence. However, when i click on the Business Intelligence Studio link it starts looking for a file devenv.exe and reports that the file is not found. I have searched for the file and it does not exisits. I have made sure that I selected ALL the components at the time of installation. So although the link to Business Intelligence appears, it is not there. My question is that do i need to install Visual Studio to make this work? I already had Visual Studio 6 - VSS only on the machine.
In what install kit or kits (I have a full MSDN license) do I find the BI Development Studio? I need SSIS.
I downloaded and tried the Developer version but something must have gone wrong during the install because not only did I not get the BI Development Studio, I don't even see the Mgmt Studio.
I've installed SQL Express with advanced services and the BIDS software from the SQL Toolkit using the vs_setup.msi extracted from the toolkit installer (Why not include it in the advanced services?).
Now I'm trying to start BIDS and am asked to log into the Report Server. I use my username and password for ASPNET. The login fails saying that the web application is not available on the web server and to look in the application event log for more information.
There are a bunch of errors listed (and more every 30 seconds are so). The error message is:
aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.
Also, when I start Visual Web Developer Express I get a message that says there is a Package Load Failure for the Report Designer.
I installed SQL Server Express Advanced Edition and Toolkit. According to the documentation, I should be able to create reports using Business Intelligence Development Studio, but I can't find it. There is only a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 menu instead. I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with my installation, or is BIDS inside Microsoft Visual Studio 2005?
MSSQL 2005 Enterprise Edition version 9.00.3042.00 Windows 64 bit OS

Hello,I am learning SQLServer 2005 Express Edition. I wanted to learn ReportDesigner which - according to my tutorial book - is part of BusinessIntelligence Development Studio. I can't find it in Internet. Couldyou help me plase?Thank you very much!/RAM/
I installed all the software that comes with sql server 2005 express including: sqlexpr.exe, sqlexpr_adv.exe, sqlexpr_toolkit.exe. All the installations were successful. However, Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio could not be found from start menu. I am not sure whether it got installed. I need it to develop reports. What could the problem be? Any solutions?
I have a database with thousands of records that contain personal details of customers. Some of these records pertain to the same customer - however, they have been submitted by different people, so they differ slightly in detail.
I've been looking to see if any of the data mining tools provided by Business Intelligence Studio in SQL Server 2005 will enable me to achieve a high degree of accuracy in matching records that pertain to the same customer. From what I can see, these tools seem more suited to making general predictions based on large groupings rather than the kind of precise prediction I am looking for.
So I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me if there is any way I could use Business Intelligence Studio to match these 'duplicate' records together, or whether I will have to create a more SQL-based solution which attempts to match the customer records using SELECT statements and making assumptions about the data.
I just got through uninsalling the express verions of SQL2005,VB,C#&VWEB and .NET in preparation of a clean install of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I installed the developer edition of SQL Server 2005 and let it install it's own verions of .NET BI, etc. Now I see that in the install instructions for VB & C# Express requires that all verions of SQL server and .NET need to be uninstalled.
"Before installing, you must uninstall any previous Beta, CTP or Tech Preview versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0."
So, does that mean I can't use any express editions of Visual Studio 2005 components with the Developer version of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (AKA - Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 RTM.050727-4200)?
I had installed SQL Server 2005 Standard on my machine . but due to some reasons it seems Business Intelligence Devlopment Studio got corrupt. when ever I try to create any type of project it throw a error message-
"The Operation Could not be completed , No such interface supported "
Hi Guys I create some reports by connecting the SQL database using Business Intelligence. I do these reports each fortnight so I want to automate these tasks using a macro. How do I create or record a macro in BI??
I will need to have input parameters in it as well
When I click 'Tools' menu, I cant see any 'macro' submenu in it.
This is a numpty question if you know the answer, but I'm not sure how to find the information I want!!!
What I would like to know is: What happens when you drag and drop a package within the SSIS Packages section of the solution explorer?
I was trying to reorder the package.dtsx files in the SSIS Packages folder but couldn't find a way to alphabetise them. I tried to drag and drop the file to the right location in the list instead, but it dissapeared from the folder display completely. What happened?
I can't see it's contents copied in the file it was dropped onto, nor did it replace the file. The package itself can still be added from the physical folder structure on the PC but it gets added at the bottom of the list.
I'm just intrigued as to what is going on. It just doesn't seem logical (something that can be said of much of my limited experience of the interface).
Hello I'm sorry if this post doesn't belong here. I need to run a number of packages from Business Intelligence Studio but I keep getting a validation error. They work when the creator of the package runs it. I'm the only person that needs to be able to run this package. What must I do? The encryption level is encryptsensitivewithUserKey
I am using SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on Windows 2003 Server with SP1
I am getting the following error when try to execute SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to create/configure Report Model:
"Microsoft Visual Studio
The Beta period is over Thank you for your participation
You can remove Microsoft Visual Studio from your computer
OK"
Where this is installed from Visual studio installation or SQL server installation? Because only vss is installed as visual studio 2005 installation in this computer(server)
I had SQL Server 2005 Express with all the management features installed on a box running Vista Ultimate. I need to do some SSIS work on the box and installed SQL Server 2005 Developer€™s edition in parallel. During the installation process it indicated that the development tools was already installed. I uninstalled SQL Management Studio Express and the VS Partner Edition. When I try to install the Management and Development tools the installer tells me that they are already installed and that there is nothing to install. Now I€™m left without any development or management software. How can I get SQL Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio installed?
Recently we puchased the sql2005, and had it installed on our server.
However, I dont have the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development in my sql2005 intallation. when I read this forum and other websites, about SSIS packages I see that I need this tool. Where can I download it?
Is it possible I have another sql2005 version that don't have this tool?
We're trying to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (from 2000), but we're having consistent problems getting BIDS to install correctly.
The BIDS installation has failed on four of seven machines we've tried installing the SQL Server 2005 tools on. Not very good odds. Note that the rest of the SQL Server tools installed correctly; only BIDS is hosed. Two of the three machines where BIDS installed correctly were fresh Window's XP installs; one, however, wasn't a fresh install, so it's a mild enigma.
On the other four machines we've had the following issues with BIDS:
the shortcut created in the Start menu tries to load 'devenv.exe', but it's missing. BIDS doesn't start. 'devenv.exe' is on the system, however upon starting BIDS we're greeting with a generic pop-up that says, "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.". Reinstalling the application does not help.
To start Business Intelligence Development Studio, We need to go to the Start menu > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Business Intelligence Development Studio.
But when I go thru the procedure mentioned above, it gives me the following message. "Missing ShortCut, Windows is searching for devenv.exe. Please locate if u know the location".
Hello, I have installed SQL 2005 dev version. All the installations were successful. However, I can't find Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from the VS 2005 IDE. I can see Integration Services Project, Analysis Services Project, Integration Services Project, etc except BIDS. I tried to run sqlexpr_toolkit.exe by itself and it tells me BIDS already installed. Any idea?
I am trying to use the Foreach Loop Container. When I open the container for edit on the Collection page, the Foreach Item and Foreach File enumerators are not listed in the drop down.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. If there something else I need to install?
Does anyone know if the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) that comes with SQL 2005 has a memory leak or a service pack that might address a memory leak?
When I'm trying to render previews for a report, my CPU is 100% consumed. I have 1 GB Ram and a Pentium 4 3.6 GHz CPU. Is there perhaps a setting within the BIDS environment that I can changes so as not to utilize all of my CPU or to release it after a certain amount of time?
Thanks in advance for advice and/or help about what to do in order to be able to use BIDS.
I first installed Visual Studio Express Edition which also installs SQL Server Express. I then installed Sql Server Management Studio Express. Subsequently I wanted to create reports, so I installed SQL Server Express with Advanced services which installs reporting services. But afte installing all these things I found that I am unable to create reports . To do that I would need Business Intelligence Development Studio . so I downloaded the install file for SQL Express toolkit which also includes installing BIDS. However when I tried to run the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE it gives me teh message that all the components have already been installed. I cannot see BIDS anywhere (from start->programs->microsoft sql server 2005 or in control panel). Am i missing something? How do I determine if BIDS is installed or not
I have installed the evaluation version of SQL Server. When i click on the Intelligence Development Studio link it starts looking for the file devenv.exe. The file is not on the pc. Repeated installation twice making sure that all components are selected. What is causing this file not to be available?
