Install SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in For SharePoint 2010 and Sharepoint 2013

Reporting Service Add-in for SharePoint needs to be installed on all web front end servers and application servers in a SharePoint farm. This installation will deploy the necessary reporting service feature components in the server to support the following:

  • PowerView
  • Report Builder Integration with SharePoint Library
  • Report Viewer Web part
  • Features necessary for Report subscription, scheduling and data source management
  • SharePoint Security Integration with Reporting Server Content
  • Reporting Service Data Alert Integration with SharePoint.

You could take two approaches to install Reporting Service Add-In for SharePoint. The reporting service Add-In is part of the SQL Server installation package so you could use SQL Server installation package to install the Add-In or you could download the Reporting Service Add-In for SharePoint as a separate package and install it.

If you are installing in a Windows 2008 Server R2 then ensure Service Pack 1 is installed.
