Reporting Services Upgrade Issues (Upgrade Advisor)

The following topics describe the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] issues that might affect your upgrade to [!INCLUDEssCurrent]. The topics describe actions that you can take to mitigate the effect of these changes on your environment.

Upgrade Advisor analyzes a report server installation. If only client components are installed (for example, if Report Designer is the only [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] component installed on the computer), no issues will be reported.

Depending on how you configured your installation, you may encounter additional issues that are not reported by Upgrade Advisor. These issues do not prevent a [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] upgrade from succeeding, but they may affect how reports and applications run after an upgrade is finished. To learn about these issues, see "Reporting Services Backward Compatibility" in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online.

If you cannot use Setup to upgrade a [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] installation, you can install a new [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] instance and migrate your existing installation to the new instance. For more information, see "Upgrade and Migrate Reporting Services" in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online, Upgrade and Migrate Reporting Services.

The following topics describe known issues that are reported by Upgrade Advisor, and explain how you can modify your existing installation to allow an upgrade to occur.

Important

Upgrade Advisor must be installed on the report server to analyze an instance of [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion]. [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] does not support remote analysis.

For more information, see Installing Upgrade Advisor.
