Procedure
1. On the left, click Prerequisites.
2. In SQL Server Reporting Services Web Service URL, type the address for the SSRS server.
The default is: http://{server-name}:80/ReportServer
3. Click Validate.
4. Click OK.
If you do not have an SSRS server, install one by running the SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012, Standard or
Enterprise installer. Follow the prompts to add SSRS.
Alternatively, run the SQL Server evaluation installer to add an evaluation version of SSRS.
What to do next
Add SQLXML as a prerequisite before starting the VCM installation.
See "Add SQLXML" on the next page.
About SSRS
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) provides server-based reports for VCM. You install the SSRS feature
by selecting it when you run the SQL Server Installer.
NOTE Installing SSRS on a different system from your SQL Server database might require an additional
SQL Server license.
To support VCM reporting, you must install SSRS in one of the following locations:
n
VCM SQL Server database server
n
VCM Web server
In split VCM configurations, to authenticate users and client applications that connect to SSRS on the
Web server, configure Windows Basic authentication.
Configure Basic Authentication for the Report Server
When SSRS is installed on a system other than the VCM database server, that system must authenticate
users and client applications that connect to SSRS.
In split VCM configurations, configure Windows Basic authentication for SSRS when SSRS is installed on
the VCM Web server.
Procedure
1. On the Web server, stop the SSRS service.
2. Navigate to the rsreportserver.config file.
By default: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\{reporting-services-instance}
\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config
3. Open rsreportserver.config in a text editor.
4. Locate the <AuthenticationTypes> XMLī ±code.
