Installing RAS Reporting

To install RAS Reporting:

  1. Log in to the server where you have Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services installed. Make sure you use the account with administrative privileges (AD).

    Note: SQL Server 2017 and later allow you to install SQL Server database engine and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) on different servers. You need to be logged in to the server where you have SSRS installed.

  2. Download the latest version of Parallels RAS Reporting from https://www.parallels.com/products/ras/download/links/
  3. Once downloaded, double-click the RASReporting-xxx.msi file to run the installation wizard.
  4. Click Next when prompted. Review and approve the end-user license agreement and click Next.
  5. On the Database connection page, specify the SQL Server database engine location:
    • Location: If the SQL Server database engine is installed on the local server (together with SSRS), select Localhost. If the SQL Server is installed on a different server, select Remote and then specify the server connection properties (see below).
    • Server: If you selected Remote, specify the FQDN or IP address of the server where you have SQL Server installed.
    • Username: Specify the username to log in to SQL Server.
    • Password: Specify the password.
  6. On the same page, specify the SQL Server instance name. The default instance name is RASREPORTING. If you would like to use a different instance, you can specify it on this page. If the instance doesn't exist, you need to create it first.
  7. Click Next.
  8. On the Viewing Reports User page, specify the user account that will be used to view reports. The default preconfigured user in Parallels RAS is RASREPORTINGVIEW. If you would like to use a different user, you can specify it here. If the user doesn't exist, you need to create it first. Please note that if you specify a different user, you will need to change the reporting settings in the RAS Console later.
  9. Click Next.
  10. On the Destination Folder page, specify the target folder for the installation and click Next.
  11. Click Install to begin the installation.
  12. Click Finish when done.
