  • Per Microsoft you need at least the relational engine installed with SSRS or it will not run because the SSRS service is initialized by the relational engine. There is some docs I will post it when I find it.

  • I want to generate reports without any database engine installed in the machine

  • But is it possible through Business Intelligence Developement Studio

  • You cannot run production SSRS without the relational engine. BIDs is a development tool build to test code you cannot compare that to production deployment.

  • Thanks.......So you are telling that without any database engine the reporting services will not work.Am i correct

  • That is correct because if you look you will find upgrade and migration not running with SSRS not inintialized error because the Master database does not know the SSRS database and tempdb in the new server. I will find the requirement doc and post it.
