Working with Report Manager
In the previous chapter we looked comprehensively at the features of SQL Server
Reporting Services 2012, both old and new. Authoring, viewing and administering
are some of the important features. Report Manager for Native mode installation
and SharePoint Site for SharePoint Integrated site are the Web-based frontend for
viewing and administering reports. Even reports on Native mode can be viewed
and managed using SharePoint Web parts.
Report Manager is a Web facing, frontend application for administering a single
Report Server instance installed in Native mode from a remote location over HTTP.
It is a Soap Client for the Reporting Services Web Service. Report Manager can also
be used for viewing reports with its Report Viewer and navigational features. You
need Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher with scripting enabled. Examples illustrated in
the topic use IE 9.0.
Report Manager works in Quirks mode (more for
backward compatibility) and not standard mode
(W3C and IETF standard). You may run into view
window problems if you use standard mode.
Reports can be viewed on Report Manager as well as by accessing the URL. While
URL access is supported on surface devices such as iPad, accessing Report Manager
from an iPad is not supported. Also, Report Manager is not supported on a reporting
services server installed with SharePoint Server integration, you need to use
SharePoint Server tools.
Most of the reporting services tasks can be accomplished if you are using Enterprise
or Business Intelligence editions of SQL Server 2012. Standard edition may also be
used but without support for some of the features.
