What’s new in SQL Server 2012 for PowerPivot
SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot• Builds upon V1 release in SQL Server 2008 R2
• New administrative capabilities– Lots of bug fixes– Default allocation algorithm changed to
health-based rather than round-robin – Manage the amount of database caching done
on the app servers– Database caching cleanup (based on
inactivity)– Disable data refresh jobs if they are
constantly failing, or if they succeed but are not being viewed
SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot• A new setup experience
– Rather than installing and configuring SharePoint directly, setup now just lays down the bits and there is a new standalone configuration wizard
• Capabilities:– Wizard has both a one-click “GO” option as well as a
step-by-step experience– Existing farm steps integrated with the wizard– Individual steps can be scripted– History is directly integrated into the tool– Able to uninstall, upgrade, repair and patch separately
SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
• Important note: SharePoint SP1 is required – SQL Setup will issue a warning if SharePoint SP1 has
not been installed when the PowerPivot bits are laid down. This gives you some time to upgrade to SP SP1.
– However, if you still haven’t upgraded to SP1, by the time you get to run the PowerPivot configuration wizard, we will throw a fatal error and you will be blocked from configuring your SharePoint farm until you upgrade to SP1.
DEMO
• Some cool examples of PowerPivot in action.
Enabling PowerPivot & Power View
Issues using PowerPivot & oData Feeds• Make sure to store your OData Feed in a
location that PowerPivot has rights & access to get to itSuch as:
• SharePoint Document Library• Network\File Share
• Not on your local desktop!• Ensure that all of your SharePoint Web Services
are started
• Excel must be running in the context of an authorized user to the data
Scaling out PowerPivot Installations
• Installation at the App tier– Requires SQL Server media
• Install SQL PowerPivot for SharePoint• Requires separate install of SSRS
• Installation at the Web tier– Does not require SQL Server media
• Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products is shipped as a web downloadable add-in

Gotchas!The multi-server hiccup
CTP3 cames with TCP\IP disabled
Until you enable this, no off server communication will happen to SQL
Gotchas! The single-server hiccup
Can’t log in to SharePoint locally?
Check your Loopback settings!
