Self Service Alerting – User Benefits

• Users create alerts directly on the data they see

in reports

• Report authors control which data is available for

alerting

• Supports reports created in Report Builder or BI

Development Studio (BIDS)

Create data alerts from within reports

• Intuitive Alert Rules (greater than, before/after)

• Easy to use scheduling (weekly, daily, monthly)

• Relevant data included in Alert Message

Detect important data changes

Source: Data.gov - Data.gov and the Federal Government cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from Data.gov.


Self Service Alerting – IT Benefits

• Per site administration reduces IT burden

• Fine grained authorization

• Self-managed through SharePoint

• IT Visibility & Control of user-defined alerts

Managed through SharePoint


• SSRS SharePoint 2010 Shared Service – Hosted in SharePoint Shared Service App pool – SSRS catalog DBs are SharePoint Service App DBs – WCF and Claims based communication – PowerShell Cmdlets – Central Admin UI for all RS administration – ULS Logging integration – Built-in scale-out and load balancer

• Report Performance Improvements – For reports in AJAX Viewer – Parity with Denali Native mode performance

• Top SharePoint mode pain point • Small reports used to be 2-3 times slower: Fixed

– Faster than 2008 R2 SharePoint mode ~ 30-60% • SQL Setup option for SSRS SharePoint service

• Upgrades existing installation

– On same machine and platform

– Instance name remains

– Old instance is removed

– New shared components are installed

• User data and configuration is preserved

• Mostly automated process through Setup

• Existing instance is intact as long as possible

• Can upgrade to same edition or higher

In-Place Upgrade – Overview


In-Place Upgrade – Matrix


• CTP3 <> RTM!!!! • Infrastructure

– NOT FOR PRODUCTION!!!! – Must run SP2010 SP1 – Upgrade to PowerPivot v2 Excel – Incompatible with Project Server

2010 (for now!) SSAS Cubes • Alerts

– Not intended for real-time notification

– Structured Data Feeds • Power View

– Requires PowerPivot v2 • Always On

– Not click-click-OK!
