Course Description
This
course introduces Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services 2017
(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.
The
student will gain experience with the new Report Services Web
portal, which enables publishing content other than paginated
reports, such as Excel and Power BI. 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 2017 Business Intelligence Application
Development (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) course. The SQL Server 2017 Business Intelligence Application
Development (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) course covers
everything in the SQL Server 2017 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 2017 Reporting Services course followed
by the 5-day SQL Server 2017 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 $3,690.
Course Prerequisites
Familiarity with database
concepts, Windows desktop navigation and software installation
techniques. Attendance at the SQL
Programming course
or Microsoft
Transact-SQL Programming course is highly
recommended although not required.
