These installation page describe the installation steps that are required to
install IFS specific components of the External Report Integration.
Refer to standard Microsoft documentation for installation of
Microsoft SQL Server.
For the list of supported versions of Microsoft products, see the IFS Supported Platform page.
1. Microsoft Visual Studio.
2. BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) for Microsoft Visual Studio (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173767%28v=sql.105%29.aspx)
3. Using the IFS SSRS Operational Reporting Visual Studio Extension Installer install the IFS Report Data Service Extension to Microsoft Visual Studio.
Due to SQL Server Reporting Services limitations, Up to Microsoft .NET 3.5 is supported by the extensions. But due to the IFS Applications requirement to use TLS 1.1+, TLS should be enabled for .NET 3.5 in the SQL Server Reporting Services server.
Please view KB article 3154520 for more information about enabling TLS support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2.
This extension is present only when IFS provided SQL Server Reporting Services Operational Reporting (SSRSOR) is available and it is required in using SQL Server Reporting Services Operational Reports. This is supported by the Oracle DB authentication mechanisms used by IFS Applications.
Note: The installer will install/configure the required extensions based on the IFS Applications authentication method. Selection of individual extensions is not supported. The installer should run by the same user as Logon User of the SQL Server Reporting Services service and it should run on the server machine which has reporting services installed.
