Installation question

  • From SQL Server 2005 June CTP I have:

    -- Client installed on XP Pro;

    -- Server installed on Windows Server 2003 virtual machine.

    I connect successfully using SQL Server Management Studio.

    I removed Business Intelligence Studio from the client and then installed

    Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite instead, assuming it to be a functional

    superset of BIS.

    Is this correct, or do I need Business Intelligence Studio installed in

    addition to Team Suite?

     

  • My understanding is that you need it installed in addition to Team Suite.  You actually got the VS 2005 install to work properly with the June CTP?

  • In Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite if you say new project one of the choices is "Business Intelligence Projects". Under this you can select:

    Analysis Services Project

    Integration Services Project

    Report Model Project

    Import Analysis Services 9.0 Database Project

    Report Server Project Wizard

    Report Server Project

    Using the Report Server Wizard, I successfully created a trivial report which populated itself with data from the SQL Server 2005 VM.

    So yes, they seem to be working properly together.

    Based on the above, I still suspect that VS 2005 Team Suite is a functional superset of Business Intelligence Studio.

  • It probably is.  The entire toolset for SQL Server 2005 is based on Visual Studio 2005 now, so it wouldn't be surprising.  I just started messing around with the reports also.  The integration of the toolset is nice, from a familiarity perspective.
