The Reports setup program installs and runs the Reports Installer utility. The Reports Installer utility allows you to specify the proxy user account credentials and select which built-in SQLsafe reports you want to deploy.
Users with 64-bit installations must follow different steps to install reports. For more information, see Idera solution 3891: Where do I find the SQLsafe reports? in our knowledge base wiki.
The following procedure guides you through a local installation of Reports. However, you can also deploy Reports remotely.
To install reports:
- Log on with an administrator account to the Report Server computer.
- Run
Setup.exe
in the root of the installation kit. - Read the Welcome window, and then click Next.
- Review and accept the license agreement by selecting I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
- Accept the default folder for your Reports installation, or click Change to specify a different folder, and then click Next.
- Click Install.
- On the Idera SQLsafe Reports Installer window, specify the following configuration settings, and then click Next.
- Report Server Web Service URL. SQLsafe will display the default Reporting Services URL.
- Name of the computer that hosts the Report Server
- Name and location of the target SQLsafe Repository
- Credentials of the Windows account the Report Server should use to connect to the repository database. The specified account should have read permissions on this database.
- Select which SQLsafe reports you want to deploy to this Report Server, and then click Next.

To successfully deploy reports using this utility, your logon account must have Content Manager rights on the Report Server. For more information, see the Reporting Services Books Online.
