Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 SP2 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint®

The SQL Server 2014 SP2 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint technologies deploys the Reporting Services user interface pages and features on a SharePoint web front-end server.

• The SQL Server 2014 SP2 version of the Reporting Services add-in supports SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
• To use connected mode features of Reporting Services with the 2014 SP2 add-in, the report server version must also be 2014 version.
• For more information on supported versions, see “Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Components”.

After you install the Reporting Services Add-in and configure your servers for integration, you can publish Reporting Services content to a SharePoint library and then view and manage those documents directly from a SharePoint site. The Reporting Services Add-in provides the following functionality:

• Power View, a feature of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP2 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience. It provides drag-and-drop ad hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers. Power View reports are in a new file format, RDLX.
• Open reports in Report Builder from a SharePoint library, and save reports to SharePoint libraries.
• A Report Viewer Web Part, which provides report-viewing capability, export to multiple rendering formats, page navigation, search, print, and zoom.
• SharePoint web pages so that you can create subscriptions and schedules, and manage reports and data sources.
• Support for standard SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server features including document management, collaboration, security, and deployment with report server content types.
• The ability to add the Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part to any page or dashboard on a SharePoint site and customize its appearance.
• The ability to use SharePoint permission levels and roles to control access to report server content. You can also use SharePoint forms authentication to support access over Internet connections.
• Reporting Services data alerts, a data-driven alerting solution for SharePoint Server Enterprise Edition that informs you about changes in report data that are of interest to you, and at a relevant time.
