Hardware and Software Requirements for Reporting Services in SharePoint Mode

This topic describes prerequisites, hardware requirements, and installation considerations for [!INCLUDEssCurrent] [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] running in SharePoint mode. Because [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] SharePoint mode requires a SharePoint server, most of the requirements are based on the SharePoint environment. For native mode report servers, your hardware should meet minimum hardware and software requirements for running [!INCLUDEssCurrent]. For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014.

• Prerequisites

• Report Server Database Requirements

• Power View Requirements

• More Information

Prerequisites

• For local installations, the account logged in during installation of SharePoint and [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] needs to be a member of the administrators group in the local operating system. The setup account does not need to be a member of the SharePoint farm administrators group.

  For more information, see Account permissions and security settings in SharePoint 2013.

• [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] running in SharePoint mode requires SharePoint Server. For more information about SharePoint requirements and configurations, see the following:

  • Hardware and software requirements (SharePoint 2013) (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=256365)

  • Capacity management and sizing for SharePoint Server 2013

  • Software requirements for business intelligence (SharePoint 2013)

  • Hardware and software requirements (SharePoint Server 2010)

  • Capacity management and sizing for SharePoint Server 2010

• If you want to upgrade or update existing [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] SharePoint installation with [!INCLUDEssCurrent], see Upgrade and Migrate Reporting Services.

• Verify the SharePoint 2013 Administration service is started in Windows Server Manager.

Report Server Database Requirements

• Both [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] and SharePoint products and technologies use SQL Server relational databases to store application data.

• [!INCLUDEssRSCurrent] requires an instance of the [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] of a compatible SQL Server edition. For more information on hardware and software requirements, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014.

• SharePoint products can use an existing database instance. If an instance of [!INCLUDEssDE] is not installed, the SharePoint Products Setup program installs SQL Server Express Edition for the SharePoint application databases.

• The report server instance cannot use the SQL Server Express Edition for its database. However, the SQL Server Express Edition instance installed by the SharePoint product can exist side-by-side with other Database Engine editions.

[!INCLUDEssCrescent] Requirements

Review the most up-to-date Power View documentation on Office.Microsoft.com. [!INCLUDEssCrescent] is a feature of Microsoft Excel 2013, and is part of the [!INCLUDEssCurrent] Reporting Services add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 Enterprise Editions.
