I recently installed SQL Express advanced and came across something thats confusing me. When i look at my running services i see the advanced features like SQL Server Full Text Search and the like ,but cant seem to find the reporting service. Is there a chance i skipped over it in the insall? I had assumed i would have a service running that would say something along the lines of SQL Reporting Services. I havent come across directions on how to turn it on, so i assume that i missed it during installation?
I definitely messed up the first install. I went back and re-ran the SQL express advanced install file and got the reporting services to show up. It walked me through setup options for the reporting services that i didnt recall from the first time, so hope this reply helps anyone that has a missing feature after their first run...
|||Have you installed Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) from the 2005 express tool kit? If so, were you able to start the application? When I try, I get what seems to be sucessful install except when I select BIDS it complains about not being able to find devenv.exe. I even tried to point the short cut to the file in my VS 2003 install but that didi nothing. I understand that BIDS is required to use report services in sql 2005 express. Have yoou had any luck with this?|||funny you mention that problem. Firing up that was what first got me rolling onto looking for my reporting services.. I have installed the toolkit twice now and have the same result in it looking for the .exe file. Im going to dig into this issue and maybe start a new thread when i come up with a solution.... Also i think its worth pointing out that i used the sql express toolkit executable to do the install and not the sql express advanced as i mentioned above...
