SSRS Hosting

  • Hello,

    I developed SSRS reports using Microsoft Visual Studio.

    I need help with the hosting concept and setup. Do I need a server to host the reports ? Do I need to install any thing on this server ?

    Thank you

  • You need to have the reporting services service running on a server somewhere, this can be the same server as your SQL server or a different server, that is up to you but if you install it somewhere other than your SQL server you will need to purchase the nessesary licenses to make yourself compliant.

  • Hi,

    When I run the reports from my local machine they work fine.

    Why I need a server to host them...

    Thank you

  • Accessability, scaleability, security.

    1 - how will your users access your machine to run the reports?

    2 - is your machine powerful enough to handle your daily work load and all of your users reporting requirements?

    3 - do you really want all your users on your local machine access to VS and the solution so that they can go in and modify the reports and change queries and report layouts?
