I have installed SQL Server Data Tools in standalone mode (SSDT 2012 11.0.3000.0) i.e. without it being part of any SQL Server or Visual Studio Package. All I'm seeing now in SSCM is Integration Services running. There is no SSRS, SSAS or for that matter not even Database Engine and Agent services running. Even when I create any analysis or reporting service projects, all I see is SSIS toolbox over there. I haven't done this kind of standalone installation before and don't know if I might be missing something. Really appreciate some help here
Thanks,
Pratik

We have assumed maintenance of a legacy 32bit application. I installed TFS 2008 to use in maintaining the project.
We will never use reporting or sharepoint. I cant create a project because of issues with SSRS.
(The Project Creation Wizard encountered a problem while creating reports on the SQL Server Reporting Services on OHSENSS801. The reason for the failure cannot be determined at this time. Because the operation failed, the wizard was not able to finish creating the SQL Server Reporting Services site. )
How can I disable reporting and sharepoint in TFS 2008?
Thank you.
Unlike TFS 2010 and above version, you have to install the SharePoint components for TF2008.
TFS2008 is a very old server version and out of support for a long time. You could use TFS2010 instead, the SharePoint is no longer a prerequisite when you install TFS2010. You can go for TFS2010 Basic Configuration which is the most compact TFS installation possible.
In Basic Configuration, SharePoint and Reporting Integration will not be possible. It will install and configure Source Control, Work Item tracking and Build Services only.
Highly recommend you to move to a newly versioned TFS server. If you insist on using TFS2008, you could try to troubleshoot the configuration of SQL Server Reporting Services. Details please refer this thread in MSDN: SQL Server Reporting Services is not configured correctly
About how to remove Sharepoint and Reporting Services from TFS, you could go through this question. However, afraid removing these components, you will still not able to create team project. After all, if it will work, there is no need to be a prerequisite for installing TFS2008.
I have a server running SQL Server 2008 R2, and the Analysis and Integration services are running on that server.
I have on my Windows XP PC Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
In Visual Studio, when I go to open a new Analysis Services project, it lets me. However, if I try to open a new Integration Services project it doesn't let me and at the end it tells me that:
To install Integration Services, run SQL Server Setup and select
Integration Services.
So I locate the install media and run Setup and chose this option:
New installation or add features to an existing installation.
However, through the steps, it looks as if it's going to install the server engine on my PC, so I hesitated and stopped the process.
I looked around and found this one How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only that refers to being able to
install just the Client/Workstation Components
but I didn't see that so far.
I also found this: http://www.codefrenzy.net/2011/06/03/how-to-install-sql-server-2008-management-studio/ and she says to
Run the SQL Server Management Studio installer
What is she referring to? I don't see that in my media.
I wonder, wouldn't it be logical to start the install process with asking Client components or Server components or both?
please uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Management Studio(Client/Workstation Components) on client PC, in order to work with SSIS.
I have installed Buisness Inteligence Studio, does this mean my machine has ssis engine installed? I just drove analogy from the fact that if I install Visual Studio then .Net framework gets installed by default.
not exactly. BIDS is a plug-ig for Visual Studio that allows you to build BI solutions (SSIS, SSAS and SSRS). You conld have BIDS installed because you have a Reporting Service intance installed for example.
Usually if you have Integration Services or an instance of SSAS or SSRS intalled, you would have BIDS too. But that not mandatory, It wouldnt be true on a PROD server for example where you can have SSIS but wouldnt have BIDS.
Best way yo know if you have SSIS is to go to the "SQL Server Configuration Manager". It will list all instances of the 3 products you have intalled
On my development machine I have Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 Express. On our production server we have SQL Server 2008 Standard. I am going to create a WCF service that will reside on the production SQL server that will fire my SSIS package when called.
Because I have SQL Express on my development machine, I do not have access to create SSIS packages from this machine at all. This is needed so I can write the WCF service in the first place.
So, I could simply download SQL Server 2008 Standard from our msdn subscription to my development machine, but for reasons I cannot get into, this is not immediately possible. It will be in the near future but not soon enough.
How can I get this done? Are there tools to download? Where? I have researched this at length but there appears to be 5 different ways that lead to no where.
Since you have a licensed Edition of SQL Server on your network you can install the full suite of tools on your development server or your own desktop if you wish. This will give you access to BIDS software that SliverNinja mentioned.
I would say since you are limited to what can be done you only option would be to deploy a simple/basic package to your production server. If your development server can communicate with that server, I would say create your WCF service on the development box and have it simply call the package on your production server. The package does not have to do anything fancy to simply verify that you can call it correctly. Just have the package import a simple file and output it to a different file; or just export some catalog data from a database.
I do not see, since you are limited by not being able to duplicate your production environment on your dev server, that this would be unreasonable to do in this situation. If it has to get done, it has to get done.
So you want to create a package without BIDS?
Feel free to create one using plain text, there you go :)
<DTS:Executable xmlns:DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" DTS:ExecutableType="MSDTS.Package.1">
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="PackageFormatVersion">2</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="CreationDate" DTS:DataType="7">5/18/2012 1:21:47 PM</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="ProtectionLevel">1</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="DisableEventHandlers">0</DTS:Property>
.....a lot more properties.....
</DTS:Executable>
I'm joking, of course. My points are:
dtsx packages are merely XML files created by BIDS
you can create your package anywere, if you cant use your local box,
use what you have, even if that means to use your server (if that's
your only option, do it)
you dont need BIDS or even the SSIS service to run pacakges. DTEXEC,
DTEXECUI and SQl Server Agent are capable of running packages by
themselves (unless the packages are deployed to the package store)
I am not aware of any tool that builds packages other than BIDS. It
wouldn't make much sense, is like asking if there is a tool where you
can build C# application other than visual studio
You need BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) to create the DTSX packages and SSIS which isn't available with SQL Express.
You also need Visual Studio to create WCF services, which it sounds like you already have.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed on my workstation. I’m in the process of learning Entity Framework, and wanted to use the Management Studio Profiler to help understand the SQL commands generated by EF.
Since the Express version does not include the Profiler, I installed SQL Server 2008-R2 Developer side-by-side with Express. The installation went perfectly and I had no problem adding my databases to the full Server installation.
The problem is that Management Studio – Complete was not installed with the full SQL Server so I still don’t have access to the profiler. I re-ran the installer so I could install the Complete version, but it is greyed out and I cannot select it for installation.
Can someone help me get Management Studio – Complete installed?
If I have to uninstall the Express version, will that hurt anything (I have VS2010 Ultimate installed as well)?
Thanks!
I ran into this and had the hardest time getting the Management Tools - Complete to install. I finally got it working by running the upgrade. Even though it was already Enterprise edition with nothing obvious to upgrade I went through the update wizard. After that I was able to do the install of the complete tools.
Steps:
Run the installer -> Maintenance -> Edition Upgrade -> follow the wizard.
Then -> Run the installer -> Installation -> New SQL Server stand-alone ... -> ... "Add features to existing install" -> Management Tools - Complete.
To solve the problem I uninstalled SQL express and the Basic version of Server Management Studio.
Uninstalling SQL Express is not intuitive as it does not appear as a separate item in the “Programs and Features” window.
To uninstall it, I right-clicked on “Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)” and selected Uninstall/Change”. This opened a dialog, from which I selected ‘Remove’. I navigated though the process until I arrived at a screen which allowed me to elect to remove the Express version (all items with 'Express' in the name). I also elected to remove Management Studio Basic.
After SQL Server Express and Management Studio Basic were uninstalled, I started the SQL Server 2008 R2 installer; this time I was able to select Management Studio Complete for installation.
The installation process executed normally; when it finished the Complete version of Management Studio was available and I was able to execute the Profiler.
Uninstalling SQL Server Express appears to have done no harm to my system; I was able to modify the Server Explorer data connection in VS2010 to connect to my database in the full version of SQL Explorer.
This process outlined above worked for me; YMMV.
In my case I was trying to install instance features, while SQL Management Studio is a Shared feature.
Another way of installing SQL Management Studio is to install another instance using SQL With Tools or the Advance Services issue. Do not look into another instance that is already installed.
