Description

This course introduces Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services 2019 (SSRS) utility. All reports are developed utilizing SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), however Report Designer is also introduced. Students will complete hands-on exercises creating a number of reports including table-based, cross tabular and forms based designs. Reports utilizing charts, gauges, KPIs, spark lines, data bars and tree maps will be built. Exercises will incorporate the use of report parameters and features such as drill down, interactive sorting, hyperlinks, book marks and report maps.

Consuming data from relational, multi-dimensional and tabular data sources will be incorporated into report designs. Students will become familiar with report deployment to the new Reporting Service Web Portal and learn how to use portal the management tools to configure report caches, snapshots and subscriptions. Instruction and practice in designing report security to insure protection of enterprise data will be provided.

Students will gain experience with the new Report Services Web portal, which enables publishing content other than paginated reports, such as Excel and Power BI visualizations. Students will also learn how to include KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) directly from a shared data set.

Students who wish to attend 2-day coverage of SSIS and SSAS in addition to 3 days of SSRS coverage, should instead sign up for the 5-day SQL Server 2019 Business Intelligence Application Development (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) course. The SQL Server 2019 Business Intelligence Application Development (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) course covers everything in the SQL Server 2019 Reporting Services course, plus a 1-day overview each for Integration Services and Analysis Services.

Students requiring more in-depth coverage of SSIS and SSAS, as well as SSRS coverage should attend the 3-day SQL Server 2019 Reporting Services course followed by the 5-day SQL Server 2019 Business Intelligence: Integration Services and Analysis Services course, which provides 5-days of coverage for SSIS and SSAS capabilities. An 8-day training pass is available for $3,290 USD.
