Hi All,
I would like take MCTS exam in Business Intelligence(Dataware Housing).For this
I want to know about the MCTS Certification Business Intelligence (SQL Server 2005 ).
Any one can suggest how to prepare for this exam and what is the CODE for this Exam?
And also is SQL Server 2008 has been released or not???
Please respond to this mail and thanks in advance.
Thanks& Regards,
Maruthi
Hi
I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance.
I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system.
I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version?
I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer.
According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system
(NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
Thanks

Hi,
I understand from previous threads that installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on the desktop client can speed up the response rate of the Visual Studio 2005 Business Intelligence Tools.
However after logging on as an administrator and installing Service Pack 2, Service Pack 2 returned no errors. However after launching Visual Studio and clicking on the about dialog box the version reported was still €œRTM.050727-4200€? where I was expecting to see €œSP.050727-7600€?.
I understood that I applied the same service pack to my copy of SQL Server on my laptop and the upgrade worked successfully.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.
I installed sql server 2005 sp2 including business intelligence development suite , however I got a message
some client components not compablitable .This morning I searched my programs and found that I have new
visual studio 2005 on my computer (before I just had vs 2008) as well as business intelligence
developer (which does not work) It seems I I would like to get rid of vs 2005 also
fix business intelligence studio . Previously I deleted vs 2005 express off my computer........(I have vista
and I would only like to keep tools meant for sql standard 2005 reporting services etc
here is a list of my sql sp2 install package
By the way I doubled clicked sql_tools.msi and did not run as administrator
Does that make a difference? I wonder if this is a problem with vs 2008 and sql 2005......

I have SQL 2005 reporting services installed and running, however I do not have the BI dev studio installed and cannot figure out how to get it installed.
The report server is operating correctly since I have developed reports on another pc using VS 2005 and uploaded them to the server.
How do I get the BI dev studio installed on the server?

I am attempting to create the "Classification - Children at Home" Data Mining Model as described in Larson's book.
Each time that I create it.. ONLY the ALL LEVEL is shown and it is impossible to expand the model to look at the Decision Tree, Neural Network, or the Clustering model etc. Drill down is enabled (tried it with and without enabling the drill down).
The Children at Home field has been populated with values from 0 - 4.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
regards Steve

Hello,I am learning SQLServer 2005 Express Edition. I wanted to learn ReportDesigner which - according to my tutorial book - is part of BusinessIntelligence Development Studio. I can't find it in Internet. Couldyou help me plase?Thank you very much!/RAM/
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?
Hello,
I'm trying to install the Business Intelligence Component ONLY of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. We are interested in only giving the BI Development Studio to a User to allow to create reports. The documentation makes it seems as if this is possible - am I wrong?
It allows me to walk through and select this component, and then it fails and I receive the following error:
There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.1399.06&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=packageengine%5cinstallpackageaction.cpp%40InstallToolsAction.11%40sqls%3a%3aInstallPackageAction%3a%3aperform%400x643
When I followed the link and received "Sorry no additional information".
The System Requirements all meet - with the exception of the min. hardware I receive a warning message. Would this hault the execution?
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Thank you
I am trying to create a report using BI Development Studio.In Pivot Table, I can change the presentation of the data area to align with row or column, just like this:http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/2055/untitledsi4.pngHowever, I can't seem to do that in BI Development Studio while designing the report. Does any of you know how to change the presentation of the data area of a report?This is how it looks like now, the data area is sticking to the COLUMN, but I need them to stick with ROW so that I can handle more columns....http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/4066/untitlednc8.png
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Installs completed successfully, and I can launch the SS Management Studio, but when I launch SS Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get message saying "Windows is searching for devenv.exe". When I search for this file I don't find it on my hard drive.
I thought I'd reinstall the SS Express Edition Toolkit, but I can't find this application in the Control Panel Installed Programs list, so I can't uninstall it.
Any ideas as to how I can get SS Business Intelligence Studio working?

I installed all the software that comes with sql server 2005 express including: sqlexpr.exe, sqlexpr_adv.exe, sqlexpr_toolkit.exe. All the installations were successful. However, Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio could not be found from start menu. I am not sure whether it got installed. I need it to develop reports. What could the problem be? Any solutions?

I just got through uninsalling the express verions of SQL2005,VB,C#&VWEB and .NET in preparation of a clean install of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I installed the developer edition of SQL Server 2005 and let it install it's own verions of .NET BI, etc. Now I see that in the install instructions for VB & C# Express requires that all verions of SQL server and .NET need to be uninstalled.
"Before installing, you must uninstall any previous Beta, CTP or Tech Preview versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0."
So, does that mean I can't use any express editions of Visual Studio 2005 components with the Developer version of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (AKA - Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 RTM.050727-4200)?
TIA,

This is a numpty question if you know the answer, but I'm not sure how to find the information I want!!!
What I would like to know is: What happens when you drag and drop a package within the SSIS Packages section of the solution explorer?
I was trying to reorder the package.dtsx files in the SSIS Packages folder but couldn't find a way to alphabetise them. I tried to drag and drop the file to the right location in the list instead, but it dissapeared from the folder display completely. What happened?
I can't see it's contents copied in the file it was dropped onto, nor did it replace the file. The package itself can still be added from the physical folder structure on the PC but it gets added at the bottom of the list.
I'm just intrigued as to what is going on. It just doesn't seem logical (something that can be said of much of my limited experience of the interface).
Any ideas?
I am using SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on Windows 2003 Server with SP1
I am getting the following error when try to execute SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to create/configure Report Model:
"Microsoft Visual Studio
The Beta period is over
Thank you for your participation
You can remove Microsoft Visual Studio from your computer
OK"
Where this is installed from Visual studio installation or SQL server installation?
Because only vss is installed as visual studio 2005 installation in this computer(server)
Please help to sort out this problem

Hello,
I have installed SQL 2005 dev version. All the installations were successful. However, I can't find Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from the VS 2005 IDE. I can see Integration Services Project, Analysis Services Project, Integration Services Project, etc except BIDS.
I tried to run sqlexpr_toolkit.exe by itself and it tells me BIDS already installed. Any idea?
I have installed the evaluation version of SQL Server. When i click on the Intelligence Development Studio link it starts looking for the file devenv.exe. The file is not on the pc. Repeated installation twice making sure that all components are selected. What is causing this file not to be available?

hello,
I am working with an instance of SQL Server express. I have to create some reports and understand that I can use BI Developer studio to do this. I went through all of the installs, but BI Developer studio doesn't seem to have installed. I rerun the install program (From the sql express toolkit download on the MS web site). When I choose the option to install the BI Dev Studio, it says that it cannot install b/c it has already been installed on the server.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I really need to get this up and running to continue with the project.
Thanks for any thoughts.
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard & need to develop a backward-compatible DTS Package for a VB6 Application in Business Intelligence Studio, but cannot find it from the Start Menu or any Toolbar Buttons or Menus in either SQL Configuration Manager or SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Hello All,
I am working on a report using SQL server Business Intelligence development studio in which I need to count the total number of saleslines that either has a status : Delivered or Invoiced.
I am using the inbuilt count function under the calcuations, as: Count(Fields!SalesStatus.Value, scope). I am not sure what scope means here however, I read that scope refers to some dataset, dataregion or grouping. I dont know what that means. I shall be really thankful if someone can help me with this.
