3 AGENDA SQL Server 2016 BI Analysis Services SCCM Data Warehouse (Servicing Point) Reporting Services Power BI Hybrid BI MS IT - Live Reporting examples!

4 SQL SERVER 2016 BI

5 SQL SERVER 2016 BI CAPABILITIES BI capabilities Think of these as built-in SQL Server 2016 delivers the following: On-premises, enterprise-ready BI platform that helps transform data into actionable insights: Analysis Services (multidimensional and data mining mode, and tabular mode) Reporting Services These services can be installed on-premises, or hosted inside a virtual machine (IaaS) Hybrid BI scenarios support delivering data and analytics to the cloud

6 SQL Server 2016 BI Capabilities Comprehensive, Enterprise-Ready BI Platform Pin paginated report items to Power BI dashboards Visualization Mobile and paginated reports Modeling Power BI Tabular Multidimensional Access on-premises data ON-PREMISES CLOUD

7 SQL Server 2016 BI Capabilities Core Investment Areas in Analysis Services and Reporting Services Modern reports Mobile reports Enhanced analysis Rich tools Hybrid BI SharePoint 2016 support

8 ANALYSIS SERVICES

9 ANALYSIS SERVICES SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is an online analytical data engine used in decision support and business analytics SSAS supports two modelling modes multidimensional and tabular The multidimensional mode also includes a data mining engine It provides analytical data for business reports and client applications such as: Reporting Services reports, Power BI, Excel, and other third-party data visualization tools

10 ANALYSIS SERVICES ONE SEMANTIC MODEL TWO WAYS TO DEVELOP Tabular models Multidimensional models Tables and relationships Fast by design with in-memory Easy to get started and simple Dimensions and measure groups Highly scalable and mature Feature rich and complex

11 ANALYSIS SERVICES CLIENT TOOLS BI SEMANTIC MODEL Queries Data model Business logic Use SSDT to create BI semantic models Data access DATA SOURCES

12 ANALYSIS SERVICES SQL SERVER 2016 NEW FEATURES SQL Server 2016 SSAS includes many new features: New tabular features: Parallel processing of multiple table partitions New DAX functions, and DAX variables New tabular compatibility level (1200) Calculated tables Bi-directional cross filters Display folders, to organize model elements into logical groups Translations, to view models in a preferred language DirectQuery enhancements Improved SSDT modeling performance, thanks to TMSL (introduced later) Several enhancements for multidimensional models And many more

13 ANALYSIS SERVICES SQL SERVER 2016 SUPPORT BY EDITION SSAS 2016 is supported by Enterprise and Standard editions For non-production use, it is also supported by Developer and Evaluation editions Compute and memory capacities are limited in Standard edition Standard edition does not support specific features

14 SCCM DATA WAREHOUSE

15 SCCM DATA WAREHOUSE What / How Data Flow Internal Details Reporting Customization

16 SCCM DATA WAREHOUSE What is a data warehouse? A central repository storing current and historical data Why have a data warehouse? Historical trending reports Integrating multiple sources of data for richer analysis What is the SCCM data warehouse service point? Role created on site server Stores historical data from specific tables

17 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

18 INTERNAL DETAILS Design / Achitecture Data copied from site database server to DW server (bulk copy/insert) If CT enabled: get data from last sync only If CT not enabled: get the entire table Processing performed on the DW server Insert/Update/Delete records inserted based on deltas Schema changes handled dynamically Each table has a timeout of 6 hours and 3 retries Records stored for 3 years (in 1706) Clusters and Availability Groups are supported (in 1706)

19 INTERNAL DETAILS Security Requirements ConfigMgr DB Permissions DW SP Account: db_datareader & EXECUTE (or db_owner) DW DB Permissions DW SP Account: db_owner Reporting Services Point Account: db_datareader Constrained Delegation (double hop) A self-signed certificate (fix in 1706?)

21 REPORTS Seven out of box reports More on the way!

22 REPORTS Fix Coming in 1706!

23 CUSTOMIZATION Adding/Removing tables Managed via site control Forcing a Sync Managed via Registry Custom Reports Up to your imagination

30 REPORTING SERVICES SQL SERVER 2016 SUPPORT BY EDITION SSRS is supported by all editions Web and Express editions continue to support only basic reporting For non-production use, it is also supported by Developer and Evaluation editions Supported only by Enterprise edition: Mobile reports and KPIs 1 Data-driven subscriptions Scale-out deployment Alerting 2 Power View 2 1 Native mode only 2 SharePoint mode only

31 SSRS Demo

32 SCCM Inventory Challenges How do we identify new computers added daily? How do we identify computers deleted daily? Inventory lost when maintenance clean-up tasks is run Solution cannot make changes to SCCM DB Leverage existing CMMonitor DB Steps: 1. In CMMonitor, load new SystemArchive table with SCCM v_r_system data 2. SystemArchive table has two additional fields: i. InsertedDate ii. DeletedDate 3. Process runs daily to add new records, check to see what was removed!
