• SharePoint 2010 Central Admin -> "Application Management" -> "Manage Services on Server" OR
• SharePoint 2010 Central Admin -> "Application Management" -> "Manages Service Applications" -> Click on "New" menu

Then it is likely the SSRS Shared Service did not get registered with SharePoint correctly at the time of installation. This state is also expected behavior if SSRS SharePoint mode was installed before the SharePoint installation.

Work Around

To register and start the SSRS SharPoint Service, complete the following:

1. On the computer that runs SharePoint 2010 Central Administration:
1. Open a PowerShell command prompt with administrator privileges. Right click the icon  and click, "Run As Administrator". Run the following cmdlets from the shell:
1. Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
2. Install-SPRSService
3. Install-SPRSServiceProxy
4. Get-SPServiceInstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like "SQL Server Reporting*"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
2. Verify the SQL Server Reporting Services Service Instance shows status as "Started" on the SharePoint 2010 Central Admin -> "Application Management" -> "Manage Services on Server" page.

In the SQL Server Denali CTP3 of SSRS Reporting Services for SharePoint 2010 we have improved our integration with SharePoint 2010 which truly improves performance. This entailed changes and optimizations for the end-to-end full-page report viewing / rendering scenario starting with the SSRS Report Viewer SharePoint web part’s behavior such as in its toolbar, followed by communication between the web part and the back end server, and the interaction between SSRS components and SharePoint itself. As a result of this, in SharePoint mode full-page report rendering is either at par if not very close at par (differ by fractions of a second) with Native mode.

Hence, how do you get this performance improvement?

• For maximum benefit of this performance improvement use the CTP3 (or later) SSRS Denali CTP Add-in for SharePoint 2010 with the SSRS Denali CTP3 (or later) report server.
• For SSRS 2008 or SSRS 2008 R2 report server in SharePoint mode scenarios, the recommendation is to upgrade to the SSRS Denali CTP3 (or later) Add-in for SharePoint 2010 from the SSRS 2008 R2 Add-in for SharePoint 2010. SSRS Denali CTP3 (or later) Add-in for SharePoint 2010 supports full backward compatibility with SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2008 R2 report server in SharePoint mode.

Visit the SQL Server Code name Denali CTP3 site and to download. Send feedback via https://connect.microsoft.com as well.

SSRS migration (with backup and restore) needs to be step-by-step with SharePoint configuration / content DB migration. Hence the best practice / supported means:

• When the entire SharePoint farm with its content DBs as well is migrated to a new SharePoint Farm then you should consider migrating the SSRS catalog DBs as well via steps identified at SSRS migration (with backup and restore).
• When only SSRS DBs are being migrated from one SharePoint farm to a completely different farm without also migrating all the SharePoint content DBs, then RS catalog DB migration is not the recommended nor supported means. The right means in this case is migrate the SSRS data using tools like rs.exe utility in SSRS 2008 R2.

Happy Kerberos configuration in RS SharePoint integration mode!

• If you need to in-place Upgrade to SharePoint 2010 then here are the recommended sequence of steps to take with  
  Starting state: SharePoint 2007, SQL Server 2008 Add-in and SQL Server 2008 Report Server
  
  1. Run SSRS 2008 SP1 CU8 (or higher) installer on all SSRS in SharePoint mode machines, details and download of SP1 CU8 @  https://support.microsoft.com/kb/981052
  2. Run the SharePoint 2010 pre-requisite installer on all SharePoint 2007 WFEs. This should install SSRS 2008 R2 Add-in for SharePoint 2010 which should perform an in-place upgrade from the previous Add-in,
  3. Run SharePoint 2010 setup on all SharePoint 2007 WFEs and Report Server machine(s).

   Ending state: SharePoint 2010, SSRS 2008 R2 Add-in, SSRS 2008 Sp1 + CU#8 Report Server

• If you need to in-place Upgrade to SharePoint 2010 and SSRS 2008 R2 Report Server then here are the recommended sequence of steps to take with
  Starting state(s): SharePoint 2007, SQL Server 2008 Add-in and SQL Server 2008 Report Server   
  1. Run SSRS 2008 R2 setup on existing SSRS Report Server instances. This should perform an in-place upgrade of the existing report server instance to SSRS 2008 R2.
  2. Run the SharePoint 2010 pre-requisite installer on all SharePoint 2007 WFEs. This should install SSRS 2008 R2 Add-in for SharePoint 2010 which should perform an in-place upgrade from the previous Add-in,
  3. Run SharePoint 2010 setup on all SharePoint 2007 WFEs and Report Server machine(s). 

   Ending state: SharePoint 2010, SSRS 2008 R2 Add-in, SSRS 2008 R2 Report Server

For SQL Server 2005 SP2 / SP3 report server in SharePoint mode versions, step 1 (from above scenarios) comprises upgrading to SSRS 2008 SP1 + CU8 OR SSRS 2008 R2 followed by steps 2 and 3( from above scenarios) when upgrading to SharePoint 2010.

• Supported configuration: SSRS 2008 R2 is supported on SharePoint 2007 with the SSRS 2008 RS Add-in for SharePoint version SP2 onwards. This can now be downloaded from : https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=35c3a13f-4b5e-4d4a-86e4-07ee307b9638&displaylang=en. Additionally, details on SP2 can be found @ https://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2010/09/29/sql-server-2008-sp2-is-available-for-download-today.aspx 
  (outdated information: The timeline for SP2 is no earlier than Sept. 2010, having said that you can consider trying out the functionality / this configuration using the latest SSRS 2008 SP2 CTP version of this Add-in available @ https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=65606fdd-093f-4c70-91f6-dc1f24520e8f&displaylang=en )
• Features available:  In this configuration features available include Alternate Access Mapping, SharePoint List Reporting extension in connected mode, Report Builder 3.0 with Report Parts, ATOM Renderer, RS.EXE enabled to script against SharePoint mode, etc.
• Features not available: Key features not avilable include Out-of-the-box (OOTB) Local mode reporting, AJAX ReportViewer, ULS logging, etc. 

For details on features supported by SSRS 2008 R2 Report Server with SharePoint 2007 refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326290(v=SQL.105).aspx

• Out-of-the-box (OOTB) Local mode reporting: In this case, SSRS 2008 R2 introduces the ability to render reports without an integrated Report server. Details on local mode reporting with SharePoint integration can be found @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487969(v=SQL.105).aspx. From an install prespective you only need to install SSRS 2008 R2 RTM Add-in for SharePoint 2010 on SharePoint 2010 RTM Web-front-end(s) to have the ability to render uploaded / canned reports (.rdl files) for:
  
  1. SharePoint Lists reports: available in SharePoint 2010 Foundation Editions or higher. 
  2. Access reports: available in SharePoint 2010 Editions that Access Services is supported in. 
  Point to note: You need to turn on ASP.Net Session state as well, by opening the SharePoint Management Shell and entering the command - Enable-SPSessionStateService. Next, the command will ask for a DatabaseName value that you can provide say "MySessionDB". Finally, perform an IIS reset. 
• Connected mode Reporting: This form of reporting is allowed when you have an SSRS Report Server integrated into the SharePoint farm as well to enable full end-to-end reporting that existed in prior versions and is now available in SharePoint 2010 with the SSRS R2 RTM Add-in for SharePoint 2010. Details on configuring connected mode @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326213(v=SQL.105).aspx. There are 2 report server major versions that can be used in this form of reporting for SharePoint 2010: 
  1. SSRS 2008 R2 RTM report server: In this case, with SSRS 2008 R2 RTM Add-in for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2010 refer to the what's new in SSRS R2 functionality for information on what all is supported @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210710(v=SQL.105).aspx 
  2. SSRS 2008 Report Server: A patch is needed for SSRS 2008 Report Server SP1 CU8 (planned for released in May, 2010 @ https://support.microsoft.com/kb/981702/en-us) to enable its support with SharePoint 2010 and SSRS R2 RTM Add-in for SharePoint 2010. Additionally, in this configuration existing SSRS 2008 in SharePoint mode functionality that SharePoint 2010 supports via backward compatiblity with SharePoint 2007 is available / supported . New SSRS 2008 R2 in SharePoint mode functionality like Alternate Access mapping, Access Reporting, SharePoint List reporting, etc. OR new SharePoint 2010 functionality like Claims etc. is not supported in this configuration.

Having said that, in multi-machine scenarios you may run into an error along the lines “Insufficient SQL database permissions for user ‘SYSTEM’ in database Sharepoint_AdminContent_<guid>….". The root cause, is on Windows 2008 or higher version OS's rsSharePoint.msi run its custom action (rscustomaction.exe) to install and active the RS feature in SharePoint as SYSTEM, which is known to fail in multi-machine scenarios.

Here is the means to workaround this issue:

1. Open a command prompt with “Run as Administrator…”
2. Run rsSharePoint.msi SKIPCA=1.
3. Locate rsCustomAction.exe file on the file system. This file is copied to your computer by rsSharePoint.msi and is generally located in the %Temp% directory.
4. Run rsCustomAction.exe /i

We are currently working on fixing this issue in rsSharePoint.msi within the SSRS 2008 R2 timeline.

1. Enabling SSRS 2008 report server to load SharePoint 2010 Beta1 (Ignore this step for SharePoint 2010 Beta 2, because it is expected to support ASP .Net assembly binding redirect out-of-the box): Use ASP.Net assembly binding redirect to ensure an existing SSRS 2008 can load SharePoint 14 assemblies, details @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2fc472t2(VS.80).aspx. Here is the entry to add under <System.data> element tags in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config 
   <runtime>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
             <dependentAssembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
                  <assemblyIdentity xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" name="Microsoft.SharePoint" publicKeyToken="71e9bce111e9429c" culture="neutral" />
                  <bindingRedirect xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" oldVersion="12.0.0.0" newVersion="14.0.0.0" />

2. Integrating SSRS Add-in with SharePoint 2010 Beta2: SSRS 208 R2 November CTP ships an SSRS 2008 R2 November CTP Add-in for SharePoint 2010 @ https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=16bb10f9-3acc-4551-bacc-bdd266da1d45&displaylang=en. This the only SSRS Add-in supported with SharePoint 2010 Beta2 and can be installed prior to installing SharePoint 2010 Beta 2. It also supportsinstalling after SharePoint 2010 is installed. Having said that, the recommended means to
• Installing SSRS 2008 R2 Nov. CTP Add-in before installing SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 WFEs
• Install rsSharePoint.msi (ships starting with SSRS 2008 R2 November CTP) 
• Install SharePoint 2010 Beta 2  
• Run SharePoint 2010 Beta 2  configuration wizard
• After this will activate the feature in the Central Admin site, however not in the SharePoint 2010 content sites  because no Report Server has been integrated into SharePoint 2010. In this state (called as Local mode) SSRS supports out-of-the-box rendering only of 2 types of reports - Access and SharePoint List reports.
• After successfull installation, configuring an integrated SSRS instance with SharePoint 2010 Beta2 entails:
• Goto the "Reporting Services Integration" web page in the "Application Management" in Central Administration,
• Provide the Report Server URL, Authentication Type and credentails and Press Apply.
• For additional instances of Reportings Services when you ahve configured SSRS in Scale-out configuration use the "Add an SSRS instance to the Integration" web page.
3. Integrating SSRS Add-in that ships in MOSS 2010 Beta1: (Note: SSRS Add-in is not supported with WSS 2010 Beta1.) Just like in prior versions of the SSRS Add-in for SharePoint you need to belong to the SharePoint Farm Administrator group to perform the following steps and step 1 also requires local admin credentials for the SSRS machine.  
1. Provision SSRS 2008 to access MOSS 2010 Beta1:
• Browse to "SharePoint Central Administration" -> "General Application Settings" -> "Add a Report Server to the integration" pages,
• Provide the machine name, instance name and press "OK", and
• Provide credentials in the credentials dialog box and press "OK".
2. Update Report Server URL and Authentication mode by running the powershell code below:
   echo "Loading Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration..."
   [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration”)
   $services = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local.Services
   foreach ($service in $services) {
            if ([string]::Compare($service.Name, "ReportingService", $True) -eq 0) { 
               ##### Set Report Server Web Service URL
               $service.RSServerUrl = "https://<RS_Server_Name>:<RS_Server_port>/<RS_Web_Service_VDir>"; 
               ##### Set Authentication mode to "Windows" or "Trusted"
               $service.AuthenticationType ="Windows"; 
               $service.Update();
               echo $service;
           }
   }
3. Activate the RS feature in all of MOSS 2010 Beta 1's content sites (Ignore for with SharePoint 2010 Beta2 and SSRS 2008 R2 November CTP Add-in for SharePoint 2010):
• Copy the attached RSIntegrationResults.aspx page into the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ReportServer folder. ***
• Browse to "SharePoint Central Administration" -> "General Application Settings" -> "Reporting Services Integration" page, and
• Press OK,
• *** Note: This is a bug, wherein RSIntegrationResults.aspx page was not included amongst the SSRS Add-in for SharePoint files in MOSS 2010 Beta1. Hence, if you press OK without copying this page you will notice a generic SharePoint error page being shown on successful completion of activating the RS feature.
