I have developed SSIS Package to fetch data from SharePoint Lists and importing to the SQL Server Tables. I am going to deploy this package as a Project Deployment Model.
From these SQL Tables, I have built SSRS Reporting Solution including few reports and Deployed it on my Development SharePoint Site.
But now, I have no idea how to send this solution with reports to the Client Side.
I have checked below utilities but not getting the exact idea of what I should do.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162839%28v=sql.110%29.aspx
SQL Server version I am using is SQL Server 2012 and Data tools version is also 2012.
Please guide me here.
Thank you,
Mittal.
To deploy your reporting objects, you right-click on the project in Visual Studio then select deploy and configure the server to deploy to.
If you are trying to get an already deployed package, you can use the import wizard:
e.g.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh270294.aspx
Then the report server can be accessed by the client browser - e.g. in internet explorer, browse to to: http:
//reportserver/reports
Where "reportserver" can either be the server's ip address or reporting server name.
You can also modify these reports using the report builder tool, that will allow you to edit the rdl files on the server - e.g. when you browse to the reports, you can select edit with report builder.
If you are using sharepoint, you can use sharepoint authentication mode or you can set up access based on active directory groups at the folder level, if the client is browsing to the reports using the web browser.

I created a VM using the gallery image, and got SQL server 2014 Standard template and got reporting services working correctly. My questions here are all about the Azure VM image, which I'm sure the community is using as well (no SSRS in Azure other than using a VM)
ReportBuilder however will not start from a remote client (401 unauthorized), and I'm sure I have to open another port or something to get it working but I can't seem to find the right article....
I'm also told that SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is installed on the server, in order to create reports via Visual Studio. However, I can't seem to find the right link on the server (damn this new Server 2014 interface! hard to loose the muscle memory of the previous os) What is the start up procedure for SSDT on the VM?
I've also tried using the Browser directly on the VM, but without JavaScript enabled, that wont' work as well. How do I drop (temp) all the constraints it's under?
In essence, how do you create a report on the Azure VM?
If you can access the report server from a browser in a remote client, for example, yourazurevm.cloudapp.net/reportserver, then you have already configured firewall correctly. Otherwise, refer to this article (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-provision-sql-server/#SSMS) to configure Azure SQL VM.
To create reports using ReportBuilder, install the standalone version of the ReportBuilder 3.0 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6116. After you launch the ReportBuilder, you can configure it to connect to your Azure SQL report server in the lower left corner.
To create reports using Visual Studio and SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), install SSDT-BI (not just SSDT) in the client where Visual Studio is installed. Then create a Report Server Project by going to File->New->Project->Installed->Templates->Business Intelligence->Reporting Services. Open the properties of the project, and set the Target Server URL to your Azure SQL report server.
I am a total newbie in SQL/SQL server stuff, and I am using SSRS to make a new reporting server/service and upload some .rdl files to it
I have a reporting server on a machine, which has a lot of reports and data sources uploaded to it's database.
I created a new reporting server with a fresh database on another machine, and what I want to do is to copy the old database content to the fresh one (the reports and the datasources..etc)
I have no copy of the individual reports to upload them to the new server using localhost/reports
is there's a fast solution to what i am having? please do it in detail because I never worked with SQL before.
Different ways to do this:
Report Server Databases
Use the detach/attach or backup/restore instructions here. Both of these methods require a backup of encryption keys on the existing instance, which are then restored to the new report server instance. Instructions on backup/restore of encryption keys here. Migrating the ReportServer and ReportServerTempdb databases is the easiest way to ensure all content is available on the new server.
Report Object Scripting
Reporting Services Scripter is an older (but still working with SSRS 2008R2, not sure about 2012) tool that can be used to transfer objects (folders, shared data sources, shared data sets, reports, etc) between report servers. Good choice if you want to pick and choose what is migrated.
If you are receiving an error regarding unsupported scale-out deployment, this means you are running Standard edition and need to remove the old report server entry from the database in the new location. It can be done using Reporting Services Configuration Manager, or by using rskeymgmt at command line.
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager and connect to the new report server instance.
Click on Scale-out Deployment to view registered report servers.
Select the old report server instance and click the Remove Server button.
Command line and rskeymgmt
Browse to the Tools\Binn folder of your SQL Server client installation.
Run the following to list registered report servers
rskeymgmt -l -i
Using the installation ID (GUID) of the old report server, remove it
rskeymgmt -r -i
More info on scale-out deployments and rskeymgmt here.
To migrate Reporting Services, use migration manual from MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143724(v=sql.120).aspx). If you encounter "the feature: scale-out deployment is not supported in this edition of reporting services. (rsoperation notsupported)" error, go to ReportServer database and remove the old encryption key from table dbo.Keys.
I am newer to Visual Studio 2012 and MVC4, and have a development project of a website using C# and MVC4 and SQL server 2012.
The Publish using web deploy works for the website portion of the project, but it does not automatically update the database portion (schema). If I right click the database portion of the project in VS2012 and click Publish, then the database schema is updated properly. I am only interested in schema updates. What could be wrong?
I programmed my development system to use Web Deploy 3.0. Here is a summary of my configuration:
Computer running win8 x64
SQL Express 2012 as my database server, running as the default instance (i.e. at localhost, NOT as .\SQLEXPRESS)
IIS Express 8 as my webserver, using the "Default Web Site" site (localhost)
Visual Studio 2012 Pro using MVC4 and C#
Web Deploy 3.0
The latest dates are all applied to the software
I programmed an SQL server user WDeployAdmin for managing the database updates and gave it full permissions over the database being used for the website. I also tried using Integrated Security (my administrator login) but that does not help.
I can correctly update the Default Web Site (views and controllers etc) using the Publish feature in VS2012 which uses Web Deploy 3.0.
When I use the Test Connection feature of the publishing setup options, it correctly connects to the database, and that certainly works fine when I do a separate Publish DB operation (right-click DB project, click Publish, and then pick my profile) for that part of my project.
So why doesn't the standard website Publish feature include the database schema updates? The standard website Publish always shows an empty change to database when the schema changes (e.g. a table or a stored procedure).
I have read through much MS docs but nothing is apparent to me.
Any help is appreciated,

Perhaps this was asked before but I can't find a whole lot on this, so I would appreciate some help.
Our architecture is as follows: Win 7 desktop on a domain with VS 2010. MS Sql server R2 on Win Server 2008 R2 Ent; SharePoint 2007 on Win 2003; SharePoint 2010 on Win 2008 R2 Ent; Visual Sourcesafe on yet another separate Win Server 2008 R2 Ent server. On this server I have just installed TFS and was running Advanced Config Wizard.
As I'm new to TFS all my selected options are based on intuition and perhaps common sense but Reporting Services and SharePoint aren't working. With reporting services after I add my sql server name (and I've tried IP address and dns name) neither the Report Server URL nor Report Manager URL is populated. (Note: What do I need reporting services for anyway?)
So I've opted not to use reporting services, which as I said, I don't know what is the benefit of it.
Next, in the SharePoint configuration, I wanted to use the existing SharePoint farm which is installed on a separate servers. Testing the Site and Administration URLs would throw an error: "The following site could not be accessed. ... Either ... not installed the Team Foundation Server Extensions, or Firewall... "
I suspect it is not the firewall so then the TFS Extensions. Having search that topic as well seems to point back to the TFS's configuration, so I'm a completely at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Risho

Edited: I was looking at this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd631915.aspx but I don't have the options listed in the step-by-step solution. TFS Admin Console has this: Top tear - server name, below is Application Tear then Proxy Server, build Configuration and Logs. Expanding Application Tear shows Team Project Collections, SharePoint Web Applications, Reporting, and Lab Management.
You have to configure the SharePoint extensions on each SharePoint machine you wish to connect to TFS. Install TFS on whichever SharePoint machine (or both, if you plan to use both). In the configuration wizard, you should have the option to configure SharePoint Extensions. Once done, you should be able to re-run the readiness checks in the Advanced Wizard on your Application Tier machine.
I have written an asp.net mvc application that is connected to a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio database and I want to deploy the application to the webhosting server now. I have managed to get the published code onto the server easily. However, I want to ftp the database I created in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to the server. Where are these created databases saved and is it possible to ftp the database to the server. The other issue is the web hosting server is using MS SQL Server Express is that a problem?
Normally shared hosts expect you to place the database in the App_Data folder and use it directly from there.
Here is a page to explain connecting to the database
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247257.aspx
To find the database on your system open sql management studio right click the Database and click Properties on the Properties windows click on the Files section to show all associated files with your database.
I would recommend checking your providers documentaion though they might have specific requirments for database deployments
