Connect Report Designer with BI CE Server 6.0 - pentaho

I have installed a BI server community edition and create a DataSource. This DataSource connect with a PostgreSQL database in another server (JDBC). Now, I have the Report Designer and I want to use the DataSource created in BI CE Server.
I can connect with PostgreSQL database from Report Designer creating a JDBC Datasource, but I want to connect with the DataSource created in BI Server.
How could i do that?
Best regards.

You can do that creating a JNDI connection in Pentaho BI Server and Pentaho Report Designer (PRD). I leave this links of my blog where I have instructions of how to do it:
Configure JNDI Connection Pentaho BI Server
Configure JNDI Connection Pentaho Report Designer
Also, when you create a report using PRD you have to Publish it to Pentaho BI Server. I hope it helps you.

Add catalog to remote ssis

First of all I am new to ssis so sorry if this question is simple to answer.
I open sql management studio 2014, and connect to my sqlserver.
Secondly I connect to my integration services.
Now I have an .ispac file that needs a catalog in my integration services. However I do not have a catalog in my integration services all I have is the following:
How do I add a catalog and deploy my .ispac file to this catalog?
Clarification:
I have 2 servers: 1 crm server and 1 sql server. I have no direct access to the sql server, to connect to the database I use sql management studio 2012.
On the crm server the integration services are installed. I add these to the sql management studio using the connect button (see picture)
I have a deployment file (.ispac) but in order to deploy this I need a catalog. However on the Integration Services that have been added in the sql studio it is not possible to add a catalog. It only has MSDB and I need SSISDB.
How can I deploy my deployment file?
The catalog is part of the Database Engine, not Integration Services.
Create the SSIS Catalog
If you already have a catalog then you just need to connect to the Database Engine. You should find it under a folder named Integration Services Catalogs.

Spring Tool Suite - Setting up Database Connection to MS SQL Server 2012

I am trying to create a new connection profile from within the Database Development perspective in Spring Tool Suite version 3.7.0. I need to connect to SQL Server 2012. In the dialog box where I need to specify the driver and connection details, I do not have an option of adding a driver jar and connection URL for MS Sql server 2012. The list goes only upto sql server 2008. Any thoughts on how I could connect to sql server 2012?
Thanks!

SSAS Tabular on Azure?

I'm attempting to deploy an ssas tabular model (I don't know what I'm doing )
I have made multidimensional on SQL Server 2008 R2 with VS2013. I wanted to try Tabular in conjunction with power BI.
So I set up a SQL Azure DB, I have Azure SQL database and Visual Studio 2013 Pro
I can get the connection to the Azure DB in VS2013 and write T-SQL against it but when I try and create a tabular model and select the Azure database as the SQL Server workspace it fails to make a connection.
Is it something to do with the compatibility module or do I need to create a Azure VM? Thank you for your help ... p.s. this is my fist question ever I'm excited
Azure SQL DB is a relational SQL database. It is not Analysis Services. You can't deploy an Analysis Services database to Azure SQL DB. You will need to create a virtual machine in Azure from a SQL Server Enterprise Edition image and install a Tabular instance and open ports and deploy your tabular model to that VM.
Update as of October 2016: They just announced Azure Analysis Services. While it is completely separate from Azure SQL Database, it does provide a PaaS offering for Analysis Services tabular models which means you don't have to deploy a VM for this functionality. Currently it supports 1200 and above compatibility level tabular models, not multidimensional models.
Analysis Services is now available as a service that can be provisioned directly inside the Azure Portal (no VM needed):

Cannot see tables when linking to AZURE SQL database

I am attempting to link to tables in an AZURE SQL database via ODBC that I created using Visual Studio 2013 Lightswitch. I am able to attach to the database using SQL Server Native Client 10.0 and see all of the tables EXCEPT for the tables/entities I created with VS 2013 Lightswitch and published to Azure. I am trying to link the tables in Microsoft Access via ODBC.
I created the ODBC connector within Access rather than the ODBCAD32.exe in the Windows Control Panel and the tables/entities that were previously not present did appear. Not sure why.

How to Get SQL Server Reporting Services to Install so that it Works

I found this link for SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
In this they said go to SQL Server data tools and when I search I can't find so what I do for that?
And when I try to do that when I go to configuration tools in SQL Server 2008 R2 and click on
Reporting Services configuration manager then it show me error when I connect it show me error
Unable to connect to the Report Server HOME-PC
So here anybody can tell me how do I start using SQL Server Reporting Services?
You did not install SSRS correctly I am guessing as parts are missing. You can install SSRS through the SQL Server insall in a few different versions:
SSRS 2012 where and how to download
The download for Express(the free version) is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Once you get a successful install there is a more SSRS centric tool than the services configuration. It is under All Programs>SQL Server (version)>Configuration Tools>Reporting Services Configuration Manager. You need to ensure that SSRS is fully working before developing for it. I wrote an article on deployment here that covers the bases:
How SSRS deployment works?
Checking that SSRS is actually up and working with correct permissions is half the fun of SSRS! ;)
