Hi there,

I am running MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on an instance. We applied SP2 and checked the box to include the Reporting Services.

Now for completion, is there a way to prove that SP2 was indeed applied to the Reporting Services for that instance.

Go to the report server website (not report manager)

http://<server>/reportserver (by default)

At the bottom there should be a version string.

My SP2 site version is: Version 9.00.3054.00

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the response, the plot thickens...

My own shows that it is at "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.3042.00"

More History:
===============
* This instance that has reporting services is one of 6 instances over a 2-node cluster
* 3 instances per node
* Two of the instances on this particular node has reporting services apart of it.

Question:
=============
Can you advise how I can go to both of their "http://<server>/reportserver (by default)" pages please?

Further to which, I am gathering, from MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, that there is only one reporting server per node.

Is this the case? or am I doing something wrong?

Please advise.

seethem,

I've not run SSRS in a cluster to date, but this may help:

1. Reporting Services Configuration Tool can show you the available SSRS instances. The tool is off your Program Files / MIcrosoft SQL Server 2005 / Configuration Tools menu. For machine name, I would image you would use the SQL virtual instance name(s), the same as your DB virtual instance names: <VirtualServer>/<Instance>. This will tell you the available SQL instances for that name. For example, I have several instances (not clustered) on a machine, and I reference them as: http://<server>/reportserverDEV, http://<server>/reportserverQAand so on.


Note: I think my terminology here is old: Virtual Server used to be what we called the clustered SQL instance... I think MS is calling it something different now.

2. Version 3042 was the base SP2, if I remember. There is a good up-to-date SQL build list at [url]www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administration/2960[/url] (registration required, I think). Sorry, I coundn't find a similar list at sqlteam.com.


Hope this helps,

Scott

Hi Scott,

Thank you very much once more for your continued help.

I believe we still refer to them as <VirutalServer>. I have found the necessary Reporting Service using the Reporting Services Configuration Tool.

More Background Info
=======================

Node 1:
Hostname = tt-app52

Node 2: (this is the node where I am having some issues)
Hostname = tt-app53

The following database instances have been installed on Node 2 in the <VirtualServer>\<InstanceName> order:

* sqlcluster00\LZONE
* sqlcluster02\SAREA
* sqlcluster04\CRECON

The following reporting services instances have been installed on Node 2:
* tt-app53\lzone
* tt-app53\sarea

If I go to Reporting Services Configuration Tool and I try to FIND - "tt-app53\sarea", it is not present. Interestingly, it is found on NODE 1 --> I.e. I can FIND - "tt-app52\sarea" when using Reporting Services Configuration Tool off of Node1.

Now, when I connect to Reporting Services Configuration Tool and connect to "tt-app53\lzone"
The following have been CONFIGURED (green) --> Server Status, Report Server Virtual Directory, Report Manager Virtual Directory, Windows Service Identity, Web Service Identity, Database Setup, Initialization.

The following are OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION (blue) --> Sharepoint Integration, Encryption Keys

The following are RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION (yellow) --> Email Settings, Execution account


ISSUE @ HAND
===============
* Whenever I go to the Internet Explorer and I execute "http://tt-app53/reportserver" I get through and see the version mentioned above.

* My concern is, what report server I am accessing? I want it to be the LZONE. How can I be certain?

* Every permutation of that "http://tt-app53/LZONE/reportserver" or "http://tt-app53/reportserver$LZONE" do not work!

* I think that somethings messed up because when ever I launch the site, "http://tt-app53/reportserver" , I am not able to UPLOAD any files.

This last matter is the subject of another issue, currently active in this forum.


Many thanks for your time and consideration,
Regards,
