Configuring SQL Server Reporting Services

Written by VidhyaSagar. Posted in DBA, Reporting Services

In my previous article we have covered installing reporting service. The next step in reporting service is to configure them according to your environment.

There are many options are available in reporting service configuration. You need to configure all these values with respect to your environment. There are two ways to configure reporting service a.) Using Reporting service configuration GUI and b.) Reporting service configuration command line utility (RSConfig.exe located @ C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn directory). The reporting service GUI configuration tool is very simple to use and many prefer this. Lets configure reporting service using this GUI too.

Thanks for the script. I had database with space between the names.

I modified to use square brackets:

FROM [?].sys.database_principals a
LEFT OUTER JOIN [?].sys.database_role_members

and

from [?].sys.database_permissions join [?].sys.sysusers U
on grantee_principal_id = uid join [?].sys.sysobjects

Thanks! That helped my a lot. But there’s a little mistake:
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS stands for “Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive [...]” therefore sort order 52.

If you want to set the sort order to 54 the correct collation would be “SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI” ;)

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for such a nice article.

You missed one thing to add in code:
@article = ‘all’,

Hence the script will be like this:
EXEC sp_addsubscription
@publication = ‘mypublication’,
@article = ‘ALL’,
@subscriber = ‘Subscriberservername’,
@destination_db = ‘mydestinationdbname’,
@reserved=’Internal’
