Let’s talk a little about the architecture of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services
– SSRS can be anything from a small “plaything” on one machine to a mission-critical enterprise reporting platform
p. 13 13
13
There are three components in play:
– The client • The one requesting the report
– The report server • SSRS
– The underlying data that the reports will be built from • SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, etc
p. 14 14

p. 15 15
15
This is traditional client-server architecture
– The client makes a request (via a url) of the report server
– The report server responds with the report data (or error/info)
p. 16 16
16
However, when the report server makes the request to the data source, it is also client-server
– The client is the report server
– The server is the data source
– The report author/administrator can specify how to authenticate to the data source
p. 17 17
17
p. 18 18
18
All client requests to the report server are made via URL
– Typically, users are working with applications that feature links to reports or have the reports embedded
• This way, users do not need to know URLs
– SSRS has it’s own web server baked in
p. 19 19
19
The report server does much more than “just” connecting to the data source and creating the report
– It also manages secure access to the reports, can schedule delivery for later times, can render the report in multiple ways, and more
