SSAS, SSRS, SSIS connection instances are missing!!

  • Hi Guys,

    I am new to BI!! Please help me here.

    I am using SQL 2005 Standard Ed, and I clearly remember that I have included all the components of SSAS, SSIS, SSRS while installing SQL 2005 on my standalone Vista laptop.

    But when I open SQL Server Mgmt Studio, instances of SSAS, SSIS, SSRS are all missing, only the Database Engine instance available for me to connect.

    The "Server Name" drop down box is available for Database Engine only.

    Do you know why SSAS, SSIS, SSRS instances are all missing? Can I create or install them so that I can connect???

    many thanks

  • Are you sure everything was properly installed and is running properly? You might want to verify the log output from your installation - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG.

    I would also check your services to see if they are setup and running for SQL Server Reporting Services and Integration services. For SSRS you would type in http:///reportserver to connect. From the sounds of it this might not have installed and you would need to make sure you had IIS installed and running along with the .NET 2.0 framework I believe.

  • thanks Dan,

    I am not 100% sure I have install SQL 2005 - BI component properly.

    Let us assume it's not.

    Can you please list things I need to re-install? only IIS-7 needed to be re-installed?

    Anything else??

  • Take a look at the following reference - Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005. If you are just getting started though with SQL Server I would highly recommend looking at SQL Server 2008 instead at this point.

    You might also want to check out this information since you mentioned IIS 7 - Considerations for Running SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista and How to install SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on a Windows Vista-based computer.

  • Sounds good. Just an FYI, SP1 for SQL 2008 was recently made available and you will want to get that loaded up - SQL Server 2008 SP1 Available and Install Experience – build 2531.

    You might find this reference informational also:

    SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Technical Reference Guide - This 490-page document covers the essential phases and steps to upgrade existing instances of SQL Server 2000 and 2005 to SQL Server 2008 by using best practices. These include preparation tasks, upgrade tasks, and post-upgrade tasks. It is intended to be a supplement to SQL Server 2008 Books Online.
