This document provides an overview of configuring SharePoint for business intelligence (BI) by discussing the requirements, architecture, installation, and setup of various Microsoft BI tools when integrated with SharePoint, including Analysis Services, PowerPivot for SharePoint, Reporting Services, and PerformancePoint. It also covers scaling the BI solution and some tips for configuration.
Configuring SharePoint 2013 for BI scenariosSPC Adriatics
Configuring SharePoint 2013 for BI is not just clicking next in the configuration wizard but it needs some special attention with configuring service applications and of course we cannot forget about configuring Kerberos delegation.
We take a look at configuring PerformancePoint, PowerPivot, Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode and everything you need to know to successfully configure BI services.
Starting in May 2010, with SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft began talking more and more about "Personal BI". The focus of this discussion was a paradigm shift moving business intelligence from being something a few BI professionals do with a data warehouse to a practice done by Information Workers every day in familiar tools like Microsoft Excel and SharePoint. Over the course of this session we will show you the improvements that Microsoft has made in the 2013 stack to take this new focus from being a “nice idea” to a truly powerful reality. We will explore the improvements made to Excel, PowerPivot & Power View, & Reporting Services. We will explain the underlying technology that makes the new features possible and walk through demos of some of the shinier toys. At the end of the session you will walk away with a better understanding of what is new in 2013 for business intelligence and an extreme desire to build reusable data model that will undoubtedly bring real value to your business.

TechEd Africa 2011 - OFC307: Architecting a Disaster Tolerant and Highly Avai...Michael Noel
Many organizations are finding that their SharePoint environments are becoming as or more mission-critical as email or phone currently are. They are subsequently expecting that SharePoint be both highly available and disaster tolerant at all times. Because the Service Application architecture model in SharePoint 2010 is relatively complex, it’s not surprising that there is confusion about how to architect a SharePoint environment to be able to survive hardware, software, and site outages. This session focuses on a deep dive into the specifics of how to architect the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 to be both highly available and disaster tolerant. Topics such as SQL Database mirroring, clustering, Network Load Balancing, Virtualization HA and Service Application failover are discussed. In addition, real world models of various farm failover techniques for environments of all different sizes are presented and compared. • Learn how to build in high availability and disaster tolerance into the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 Architecture. • Examine real world designs for SharePoint 2010 that are built to allow for full functionality in the event of various failure scenarios. • Examine how to take advantage of several ‘out of the box’ technologies with SharePoint, SQL, and Windows to provide for HA, as well as understanding when a third-party option may be required.
In this presentation we review the main topics about BI Dashboards with SQL Server 2008 R2.

Operational dashboarding and reporting with Microsoft Business IntelligenceJohn White
A great looking, relevant, informative dashboard for the executive is the ultimate end goal for most Business Intelligence projects. Microsoft has all of the tools that are necessary to get data from your transactional systems into an effective dashboard. What is less clear is to how to go about achieving it. Which tools should you use? As with most things, we have different tools for different requirements, and it isn't always clear as to how they match up.
This session will focus on what the various reporting and dashboarding tools from Microsoft can do for you, where you should use them, and how to get them working for you. Both on premises and cloud based scenarios will be discussed. At the conclusion of this session, you should have a fundamental understanding of the Microsoft products in this space fit together, including Excel, Reporting Services, SharePoint, Power View, and PerformancePoint.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Here’s a little demonstration of what you can do when you have it all working together…The GSAF is a loose collection of all reported shark incidents
Org BI has been with us forever – Decision Support Systems – Reliable and curated, but unresponsivePersonal BI evolved to plug the performance gap – problem is that it’s unreliable and out of controlAllow users to share, with oversight in a team scenario – that’s what SharePoint provides. A platform for reliable BI collaboration
The products stack up much as expected, with SQL Server SKUs filling the Enterprise spaceOffice apps as expected cover much of the Personal BI space – with add-ins from the SQL teamThe team area is a mixture, with products from both teamsIt’s worth noting that the second most requested feature of any 3rd party BI application is export to Excel. Using SharePoint, Excel can actually be a client, meaning it can stop being a part of the problem and become a part of the solution.
Another way to look at the tools – through their uses
Big change is that xVelocity is included, as have PowerPivot and PowerViewParalleling that on the server, what was once simply PowerPivot for SharePoint has been segmented into its two constituent parts. It was always Analysis Services + automation, but it was tightly coupled. Now it can be scaled separately, and Excel Services handles the load balancingA number of other new features are available that may affect architecture, including per-user authentication
Covering 3 Major AreasExcel ServicesReporting ServicesPerformancePoint
Excel the client enables the personal BI.Office Pro Plus means NOT Home and Student, or RT – no model for surface… In 2013 xVelocity is built in, and PowerPivot and PowerView are included and must be enabled (show)To share workbooks, Excel services is necessary. Interaction with the data model requires Analysis Services SharePoint modeTo refresh automatically and use the Gallery, you need PowerPivot for SharePoint
Although PowerPivot and Power View are included, they are disabled by default, and need to be enabled if you want to work with them. This is done easily enough – (Demo in Excel). Also, if you click the Power View button, it’ll offer to do it for you. In addition, the xVelocity engine isn’t used by default, it must be activated on a workbook by workbook basis. There are ample opportunities to do this – when importing data, when inserting imported data into the workbook, or when working with the data. Finally, if PowerPivot is enabled, using it will also create the model.
4 client versions, 3 server versions. SQL Server 2012 SP1 brings new features to the table – required for the new models
What works with what? Essentially, you’re looking at good downward compatibilityOf note – Excel 2013 models won’t work with pre 2013 SharePoint farms. Just sayin’Upgrade your farm before your Office apps
SSRS is comparatively generous – doesn’t even need a SharePoint licenseSharePoint mode does need at least a standard license (there’s an Express…)The really cool features need BI or EnterprisePowerView needs Tabular models
PerformancePoint is an aggregatorRequires SP EnterpriseAS needs to be available for analytics charts or grids (either mode)
Some pieces are built by the Office team, some by the SQL Server teamCan lead to confusion – consider ta common misunderstanding
This is a very common small farm architecture. All the SQL bits on one server, all the SharePoint bits on anotherReporting Services and PowerPivot for SharePoint are on the SQL server mediaBoth require Farm joined servers to operate
Far too often, this is what results. SharePoint gets laid down on the SQL boxSQL performance is impactedManagement headaches increase
Correct approach is to put the SQL bits on the SharePoint server not the other way around
Let’s walk through the setup of the 3 major groups, starting with Analysis Services SharePoint mode/PowerPivot
These screens look the same for installation on Standalone or on SharePoint“SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint” is ConfusingNeed BI or Enterprise license to see this option
- This is the only place where we see the terminology “Analysis Services”
Must install into a named instanceLeaving it as PowerPivot not required, but recommended
Must use a domain account – shouldn’t be a managed one
- Accounts used to connect through BISM MUST be AdministratorsFarm account should be administratorNext up – Go to Excel Services Application settings and show the data model settings
- At this point, we can register the engine with Excel Services, and we’re good
From here only applies to installation on a SharePoint ServerRequired for scheduled refreshes, PowerPivot galleryDo NOT need to have the Analysis Services instance on the same server (but you can (classic mode))
Already configured in this farm, so we’ll use screenshots. Starting with 2012, the configuration tool was added. When you run it, you get the option of configuring, repairing or removing PowerPivot for SharePointIf you want to remove it – use this tool
The tool analyzes the system to determine what is necessary for configurationWhere input is needed, you see an alert
I recommend changing the name of the application and the databaseDefault PowerPivot is a bad name, and GUIDs are evil
- The tool will deploy assets to a single site collection. If you have multiple, this must be done manually
When Ready, use the validate button, and all indicators should turn greenThere are a couple of post configuration steps that need to be doneChange the Excel Services default sizeAdd the Central Administration address into trusted pathsChange the prompting optionsGrant spServices correct permissions in the Administration databaseCheck the data model settings
Setting Up:Service ApplicationSubscriptions and AlertsReport Library – Report Builder/Data Tools for ContentBISM Connection – Power View Report
We’re not doing PowerPivot, so we select SQL Server feature installation.
- RS – SharePoint is the Service Application- RS Add-in for SharePoint is the old fashioned add –in MUST be deployed on all front end servers!
PerformancePoint is straightforwardCan be done by the “white wizard”
As with any SharePoint service application, BI features can be scaled out nowA few differencesWorth walking through a growth scenario
Start with an all in one SharePoint farm (NOT a standalone!)
Let’s add or BI services to our SharePoint box. Simple enough
Now lets move the server that the users interact with (the FE server) onto its own box. We can also separate out the model processing onto a standalone (non farm joined) server. This way, services execution doesn’t impact user requests.
Another approach is to segment by functionNot strictly role basedLong running processes separated from user interacting processes
- Obviously all of these services can themselves be scaled out and load balanced
For SSRSService app needs to be installed on “application server” roles – Responsible for processing and rendering the reportAdd in must be installed on FE server – unlike the past where it was automatic. Connects to service appFor xVelocityAdd “PowerPivot for SharePoint” to standalone serversAdd “PowerPivot for SharePoint” add in to at least one “application server” roleBoth can be on one – will impact SP performance
A non-comprehensive collection of things to be aware or “notes from the field”
Explain Double hop problem Kerberos constrained delegation allows token passing, but hard to set upReporting Services has supported this for a long time via SetUser() – nobody understood itBISM implicitly supports EFFECTIVEUSERNAMEPerformancePoint and Excel Services now support EFFECTIVEUSERNAME against multidimensional sources
Quick demo using SSRS on how this works
- Connection account needs very elevated permissions to use (dbOwner or SysAdmin) Keep in mind the the service account for the services in question need Admin access to the Analysis Services server (makes a connection)EXCEL Services and PerformancePoint for AS, SSRS for SQL (except PowerView, which is BISM)
Real value of SP as a platform is its integration capability. Whole > sum of partsDashboarding is obvious – pull together assets from all of the different tools using the web part framework.To consider – leverage other SharePoint assets – like the filter parts, in particular the current user filter. To use this filter effectively, your user profile subsystem must be healthy. Many people are unaware of it, or its extensible powerOld import system available in SP2013
