Viewing report in Secondary server - ssrs-2008

Is it possible to view reports using SSRS on the secondary server configured for log shipping.
Thanks,

You can in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and up. If you are using the Express Edition, then you're better off replicating the database you want to report on.

Crystal Reports and TLS 1.2

We have an ASP.Net web application containing a number of Crystal reports that connects to our MS SQL Server 2012 instance. To increase security we intend to disable old ciphers (< TLS 1.2) on our database and web servers. Before I do that I need to make sure our Crystal Reports on our web server are able to connect to the DB server using a TLS 1.2 compliant connection. In order to do that I understand I need to install the newly released (2018) MSOLEDBSQL driver. I've now done that on my Dev environment and would expect to see a new type of connection in VS2013, Menu:Crystal Reports, 'Set Data source location...', 'Replace with:'.
But I DON'T. How am I to change the reports to use the new MSOLEDBSQL driver?
OR perhaps I don't need to install the new MSOLEDBSQL at all and can set the reports to use SqlNativeClient11 that should be TLS 1.2 compliant.
After installing the MSOLEDBSQL driver, you have a new "choice" for new connections. So, in the "Replace with", you need to set up a new connection using "Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server" - what you'd been using before for OLEDB, and which also still shows up in the list, is the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server".
It's also possible to change a report's connection info programmatically at runtime. See this SAP article.

icCube connecting to Excel 2016

I get the following warning when I open a xlsx spreadsheet, connected to iccube, in Excel 2016. It works in Excel 2013 but not 2016.
Excel cannot connect to your database with the driver you specified in your data source. The driver does not support OLAP-provider capabilities required by Excel.
Consult your system administrator or contact your OLAP database vendor.
Is there an odc connection option that needs to be flagged or do I need to install a previous OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services driver?
It's an issue - entry - , Excel changed a bit the way they use XMLA. We've fixed the issue and it will be available in the next release that is planned shortly.
No workaround other than upgrading icCube to 5.1.3 or above.

Use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 on my computer and I want to use data mining with this version of SQL Server. My question is how can I do this? Because I've read some where that I can use data mining in SQL Server evaluation edition. I can use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2?.
And I have one other problem when I want to use SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-Ins I can't connect to SQL Server and displays this error message.
Unable to connect to server 'localhost'. Please make sure user '' has at least read permission to some database on the server.
First you should get SQL Server Data Tools which runs in Visual Studio.
You will need Analysis Services installed; if you don't have it just run the SQL Server installer again and look for the option to install it.
After that you can take a look at this post I wrote a few months ago:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic480010-147-1.aspx
I wrote it specifically targeting the Neural Network models, but it contains details on several background steps you will need to do.
Finally - since you're using an evaluation version, you may want to just go for SQL Server 2012 (that's what I use, so I know it works).

How can I create & edit database of Sql Azure using SQL Server 2008 - R2

I have sql azure database and to create and edit database using portal is very boring task due to it' user interface, when i will connect it with my local sql server R2 then i can not able to edit , create table from there.
Is there any way to make it possible , Please give me some solution for that
At this time, the two options available are the web user interface (which will be improved over time) and SQL Server Mgmt Studio (using queries; no user interface) for which SQL Azure support will also improve over time.
After all i found one 3rd party client to manage SQL Azure and that is RazorSQL- Awesome tool! I have write down about it in my blog, see here
Navicat is a commercial application that offers access.

Personally I vastly prefer it to the Microsoft web interface

migrate Old reports to new SSRS 2008 R2

I have configured new Server with reporting services 2008 R2,
I have 2 more reporting servers with SQL 2005 and SQL 2008.
How can I move my old reports (with all Subscriptions) to new server?
I used RSScripter application, and transferred all of my reports to new server
http://weblogs.asp.net/akjoshi/archive/2009/01/29/using-rs-scripter-to-create-deployment-script-for-reporting-services.aspx
Please see this post.
Since you are merging reports from 2 servers into the new one, you can either copy reports from source control or use SSRS scripter.
