  • Reply To: Upgrading SSRS 2016 to SSRS 2019 in place

    Personally, I would test. If you to to your SSRS instance, can you "export" or "download" a folder? I cannot, but I'm also not on 2016 (I'm on 2012... I...

    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

    My advice - check the docs first. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check the official docs as things MAY change between versions. Link to 2022 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/security/integration-services-roles-ssis-service?view=sql-server-ver16

  • Reply To: upgrading SQL Server 2019 Reporting Services: Standard to Enterprise Edition

    My understanding is upgrading from standard to enterprise is something that can be done without issue.

  • Reply To: create cluster fails Win2016.

    My best guess is permissions or firewall. I imagine there is another log somewhere (windows event log for example) that contains more information about why it failed.

  • Reply To: extracting cloud based netsuite data from the cloud in ssis

    If writing your own stuff is not what you are looking to do, then the next best bet is a 3rd party tool. SSIS doesn't natively connect to NetSuite. But...
