Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services provides a complete server-based platform that is designed to support a wide variety of reporting needs including managed enterprise reporting, ad-hoc reporting, embedded reporting, and web based reporting to enable organizations to deliver relevant information where needed across the entire enterprise. Reporting Services 2008 provides the tools and features necessary to author a variety of richly formatted reports from a wide range of data sources and provides a comprehensive set of familiar tools used to manage and secure an enterprise reporting solution. Reports are processed and delivered quickly and effectively, enabling users to either receive reports automatically through subscriptions, to access reports from a central report repository on an ad-hoc basis, or to consume reports in context of their business processes through reports directly embedded into their business or web applications.

Managed Reporting. Also often referred to as enterprise reporting - supports the creation of reports that span all aspects of the business and delivers them across the enterprise to provide every employee real time access to information relevant for their business area and enable better decision making Ad-Hoc Reporting. Enables users to create their own reports on an ad-hoc basis and provides them with the flexibility to quickly get the information that they need, in the format that they need it without submitting a request and waiting for a report developer to create the report for them. Embedded Reporting. Enables organizations to embed reports directly into business applications and web portals, enabling users to consume reports within the context of their business process. Deep integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 also enables organizations to deliver reports through a central report library or to use new web parts for thin rendering of reports directly within SharePoint enabling easy creation of dashboards. In this way organizations are able to bring all business critical data, structured as well as unstructured, from across the company together in one central location providing one common experience for information access so that users can see key business performance information at a glance.

- Read/Write Report Variable Combining Data from More Than One Dataset Conditional Rendering Expressions Let’s say that you want to simplify the report layout when a user exports a report to Microsoft Excel. Sometimes other report items in the report can cause a text box in a data region to render as a set of merged cells when you are unable to get everything to align perfectly. The usual reason that users export a report to Excel is to filter and sort the data, and they are not very interested in the information contained in the other report items. Rather than fussing with the report layout to get each report item positioned and aligned just right, you can use an expression in the Hidden property to keep those report items visible in every export format except Excel. Simply reference the name of the extension as found in the RSReportServer.config file in an expression like this: =iif(RenderFormat.Name="EXCEL", True, False) 11/19/11 14:41 © 2004 Microsoft Corporation.

- The single server deployment configuration is recommended in the following circumstances: For small to moderate report volumes where demand for report processing is evenly spaced throughout the day and the number of concurrent sessions is easily handled by the processing capability of the computer. When you are a developer and need to develop custom solutions that integrate with Reporting Services. When you are evaluating the software. A scale-out server deployment configuration is recommended in the following circumstances: For high-volume reporting, where activity is measured in concurrent users or in the complexity of reports that take a long time to process or render. For high-availability scenarios, where it is important that the reporting environment does not encounter unplanned downtime or become unavailable. When you want to improve the performance of scheduled operations and subscription delivery. 11/19/11 14:41 © 2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
