Hi,
We are trying to install just the BIDS in a user machine to be able to develop reports remotely. I have a couple of questions.
1. In my current scenario, SQL server 2008 R2 is already setup with the reporting services in say, Machine1. Can it be reconfigured so that a user in Machine2, trying to develop a report, access report server DB in Machine1?
2. Can this be done in such a way that, first we want to point BIDS to a sample database (like Adventureworks etc.) in Machine1, before trying to develop reports with the actual database?
Could anyone help with the detailed steps involved.
I have done development of reports with an SQL server installation and configuration in the same machine sometime before, but not remote. I looked for manuals, there is help available, but for this scenario, I want to confirm with the steps involved.Any input in this regard would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
SK
