Please help me to Integrate IBM Rational Team Concert and Power bi tool.
Thanks in advance,
Maduraipandian Manivel.
Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence platform that provides nontechnical business users with tools for aggregating, analyzing, visualizing and sharing data.
I don't know of an official integration between that platform and IBM RTC.
You would need to create, as mentioned in this thread, your own RTC reports or queries and automatically export them to a designated directory.
Then, the csv or text files could be ingested into Microsoft Power BI.

I have few business reports in Pentaho and it seems that these should be moved into a different platform altogether. These reports have measures, there's bar representation and look quite complex.
The options available are Power BI and SSRS.
My question is to understand if there are any plugins available in SSRS or PowerBi for me to import the files from Pentaho directly or should have to build these from scratch?
I've read that TFS supports SSRS and VSTS supports Power BI but I have not found any meaningful comparison on the actual reports or their usefulness. Nor about which might have different or better dashboards. Anyone know of any?
A quick Google search shows up with this link for Dashboards and reports for VSTS and TFS. Shows Power BI, SSRS reports, and indicates which ones are exclusive to the platforms.

As for usefulness, that all depends on your organization and is a bit subjective because of how each org uses reports.
Is there any link or zip file where I could get whole MS BI warehouse project (sample) from starting to end? (2008)
Incremental load and even possible creating cubes too. What kind of problems one faced in real time projects, such things.
I could find things on you tube in parts but couldn't link it. Please help.

I think the best reference implementation for the MS BI stack is Project REAL. According to Microsoft:
In Project REAL we are creating a reference implementation of a
business intelligence (BI) system using real large-scale data from a
real customer. The goal is to discover the best practices for creating
BI systems with SQL Server 2005 and to build a system that exhibits as
many of those best practices as we can. This project is not just a
demo —we are creating this system for ongoing operation. It is a
complete system, including daily incremental updates of the data,
large multiuser workloads, and system monitoring.
It contains:
A set of instructions for setting up the environment
Guidance on how to explore the implementation
A sample relational data warehouse database (a subset of the Project REAL data warehouse)
A sample source database (from which we pull incremental updates)
SSIS packages that implement the ETL operations
An SSAS cube definition and scripts for processing the cube from the sample warehouse
Sample SSRS reports
Sample data mining models for predicting out-of-stock
conditions in stores
Sample client views in briefing books for the Proclarity and Panorama BI front-end tools
You can download it here - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=12134
you can get the AdventureWorks database and datawarehouse (with the cube) here: http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/
not sure about the SSIS packages
I need to make a ETL sync to add new data from relational database to the database DW in SSIS. It should take place in every sixth hour.
How do I do it?
What component do I need?
Where can I find more material about it in the Internet?
You'll need to build a SSIS Package using Business Intelligence Development Studio (which is installed as part of the SQL Server Development tools). You'll then need to execute that package on a server, using a scheduling mechanism of some kind (either an enterprise scheduler, cron, or a windows scheduled job).
The Microsoft website has good information about SSIS. I would also suggest reading about ETL & Data Warehousing in books by Ralph Kimball or Bill Inmon.
I am here to get the opinion on Reporting Services vs any other technology suitable for Reports.
Current Environment - BIDS 2005, SQL Server 2005, C# 3.5, VS2008.
requirement -
My Client needs to integrate the huge reports into current existing Web Application.
1) The Technology should be able to handle large number of users.
2) All clients are external, so they can review the reports anytime.
3) Caching of parameters and the report should be possible.
4) The Report Viewer is better or SOAP API is better considering Reporting Services.
5) Charts can be used - good Visualization.
All opinions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
The most honest answer you're going to get is "it depends." What is your familiarity with with SQL Server Reporting Services? What's your familiarity with the other tools? Do you have a DBA who is familiar with SSRS? There are way too many factors that play into this to give you a clear answer.
Admittedly I'm biased but I think you should look at Windward Reports. It's a lot easier and faster than SSRS and you design the report in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint so you can do a lot more.
