How to Install Service Reporting

 

Updated: May 13, 2016

Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Service Reporting, System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator

In System Center 2012 R2, you can install Service Reporting from the initial page of the System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator setup program. Before you install, you should review the system requirements for Service Reporting, as described in System Requirements for Service Reporting.

On the SQL Servers that Service Reporting will use, the Microsoft SQL Server Agent service must be running and its startup type should be set to either Automatic or Automatic (Delayed Start).

The Log On As accounts for the following services must be domain accounts:

  • SQL Server

  • SQL Server Agent

  • SQL Server Analysis Services

  • SQL Server Integration Services

Note

The Service Reporting Setup wizard does not have an option to install or to configure Service Reporting by using credentials that you can specify. Consequently, Setup installs Service Reporting by using the credentials of the logged-on user. After Setup finishes, you can change the SQL Server account credentials that Service Reporting uses to extract Operations Manager data, as described in How to Configure Service Reporting for Windows Azure Pack and System Center.

If you want to install Service Reporting programmatically, you can do so by using a text-based response file from the command prompt. The command-line parameters that Service Reporting setup supports can be queried using the following command:

Setup.exe -?

You can use the –Slient parameter to install silently with a text file that contains required parameters and use the –Uninstall parameter to uninstall Service Reporting.

Note

The Service Reporting Setup wizard can help you prevent installation failure by running a prerequisite checker. Running Setup by using a command prompt does not run the prerequisite checker.

  8. On the Customer Experience Improvement Program page, choose whether you want to participate in the program, and then choose whether you want to use Microsoft Update to update Microsoft software that is installed on the server, including Service Reporting. Then, click Next.

  9. On the Installation Summary page, Setup displays the choices that you have made about the installation folder, details about the data warehouse, and details about analysis services that it will install. Click Install.

  10. On the Install page, Setup displays the progress of the Service Reporting components that it installs. When Setup finishes, the Finished page appears and shows links to Service Reporting documentation. If you have previously chosen to use Microsoft Update, you can check for updates by clicking Initiate machine wide Automatic Update. Click Close to complete Setup.
