One HUGE problem I have run into while messing with SharePoint Services and Reporting Services is lack of 3.0 information.
I have been working the last 2 days on getting SSRS and WSS 3.0
both working and getting them to work together. I am now a bit closer
to this with the addition of adding the Reporting Services WebParts to
SharePoint then getting a list of reports. Here are the steps I
followed to get it all working. (note: yours could be different)
1) Install SQL Server 2005 and with Reporting Services (Advanced SQL Server Express)
2) Install SQL Server Toolkit ( with Business Intelligence Developer Studio, just a good idea)
3) Run the Report Services Configuration Tool and set the web application to be under the SharePoint. Pay attention to this post when doing this step.
4) Create a new Reporting Services Database. (Look at this post)
5) I found the .cab file for the Reporting Services Web Parts to add to
SharePoint on my machine here: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Reporting Services\SharePoint”
6) With the cab file I run this command using stsadm.exe from this folder “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN”
7) Once that is complete open up SharePoint in your browser and add the Report Explorer WebPart.
Click edit web part -> modify shared web part on the Report Explorer web part.
9) added the following URL to “Report Manager URL” http://localhost/Reports
10) hit ok button.
11) See a list of available reports.
What
I don’t have figured out yet is viewing these reports in the report
viewer web part. I also don’t know if that is even possible. yet. So
stay tuned.
