MS SSRS Setup with MS SQL Server


Setting Up MS SQL and MS SSRS: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction:

When embarking on the journey of setting up MS SQL Server and MS SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), meticulous planning is paramount. In this guide, we will delve into the design considerations and step-by-step instructions for a robust and scalable system.

Design Architecture: A Crucial Foundation

At the core of our setup lies the design architecture. This blueprint not only dictates the efficiency but also shapes the effectiveness of the entire system.














System Segmentation: Two-Tier to Three-Tier

Our design aims to accommodate the application on different network segments. To achieve this, a fundamental segregation of the Application (APP) and Database (DB) layers is employed, supported seamlessly by MS SQL Server and MS SSRS.

  • Two-Tier Architecture (DB-APP Layer): Ensures optimal performance, security, and manageability.

  • Three-Tier Architecture (Rendering Portal - Web Layer): Post report rendering, the architecture evolves into a three-tier structure, enhancing user experience through the Web Layer.

Setup Prerequisites:

  1. MS SQL Server and SSRS Versions:

    • For optimal performance, consider using SQL Server 2019 and above. Download links for the Developer Edition are provided here.

  2. SSRS Application:

    • Align the SSRS version with the SQL Server version (e.g., SSRS 2019 for SQL Server 2019). Download SSRS 2019 here.

  3. System Requirements:

    • Before proceeding, check the system requirements and additional details on this page.

  4. Report Builder:

    • Customize reports or create shared data sources using the latest Report Builder edition, downloadable here.

Installation Steps:

  1. SQL Server Installation:

    • Follow the installation steps for SQL Server, ensuring compatibility with the chosen version.

  2. SSRS Installation:

    • During the SSRS installation, input the default Report Server value as follows:
      arduino
      http://ReportServerIP:Port/ReportServer
      This step is crucial for configuring the Report Server and establishing a connection between the application and database layers.

  3. Verification:

    • Confirm the successful installation by checking system requirements and testing report rendering on the Rendering Portal.

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you are well on your way to setting up a comprehensive MS SQL and MS SSRS environment. Ensure meticulous attention to detail during each installation step to guarantee a seamless and effective deployment.

Feel free to customize this guide based on your specific requirements and preferences. Happy configuring!

Working with OAuth Tokens in .NET Framework 4.8

  Working with OAuth Tokens in .NET Framework 4.8 OAuth (Open Authorization) is a widely used protocol for token-based authentication and authorization. If you're working with .NET Framework 4.8 and need to integrate OAuth authentication, this guide will walk you through the process of obtaining and using an OAuth token to make secure API requests. Step 1: Understanding OAuth Flow OAuth 2.0 typically follows these steps: The client requests authorization from the OAuth provider. The user grants permission. The client receives an authorization code. The client exchanges the code for an access token. The client uses the token to access protected resources. Depending on your use case, you may be implementing: Authorization Code Flow (for web applications) Client Credentials Flow (for machine-to-machine communication) Step 2: Install Required Packages For handling HTTP requests, install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client via NuGet: powershell Copy Edit Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.W...

Changing the Default SSH Port on Windows Server 2019: A Step-by-Step Guide

Changing the Default SSH Port on Windows Server 2019: A Step-by-Step Guide By default, SSH uses port 22 for all connections. However, for enhanced security or due to policy requirements, it may be necessary to change this default port. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to change the SSH port on Windows Server 2019 . Changing the default port not only reduces the chances of brute-force attacks but also minimizes exposure to potential vulnerabilities. Let's get started! Why Change the Default SSH Port? Changing the default SSH port can offer several advantages: Security : Automated scripts often target the default SSH port (22). Changing it can prevent many basic attacks. Compliance : Certain compliance regulations or internal policies may require the use of non-standard ports. Segregation : If multiple services are running on the same server, different ports can be used for easier management and separation. Prerequisites Before proceeding, ensure that you: Have administ...

Understanding Microservices: What They Are and How They Differ from Traditional Services and APIs

  Understanding Microservices: What They Are and How They Differ from Traditional Services and APIs In recent years, microservices have become one of the most popular architectural styles for building modern applications. But what exactly are they, and how do they differ from traditional services or APIs? In this blog, we’ll break down what microservices are, their key features, and how they differ from the more traditional service-oriented architectures (SOA) or simple APIs. What Are Microservices? In the simplest terms, a microservice is a way of designing software as a collection of small, independent services that each handle a specific task or business function. Imagine you're building an online shopping application. Rather than having a massive, monolithic (one big block of) application that handles everything—user management, product catalog, payment processing, etc.—you can break it down into smaller services. For example: User Service : Manages user accounts, login...
