Moving On
SSRS is a fantastic tool for creating reports. It provides multiple ways to develop, view, and store reports. It
also provides flexibility in the dispersal of the different components of SSRS across one or more machines and
provides an administrator with opportunities to tune the reporting performance. You now have an idea of how
the different components work together to provide a complete reporting solution.
We recommend you try your hand at creating your own reports for the Northwind database in the following
“Learn by Doing” exercise.
LearN BY DOING
In this “Learn by Doing” exercise, you create an SSRS project similar to the one defined in this chapter using
the northwind database. We have included an outline of the steps you performed in this chapter and an
example of how this can be completed in two Word documents. These documents are found in the folder
C:\_BISolutionsBookFiles\_LearnByDoing\Chapter16Files
. Please see the
ReadMe.doc
file for detailed
instructions.
