Editing AX 2012 reports using SQL 2012

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Can anyone confirm the installation requirements regarding report development in relation to SQL 2012?  My issue is that the report projects require BIDS which is a component in previous versions of SQL, and the new Data Tools in 2012 do not seem to fulfill the requirement.

Is it recommended to install BIDS from SQL 2008 R2 media, or possibly Visual Studio 2008 alongside VS 2010?  If the former, is there a stand-alone installation package available?  If the latter, do both VS 2008 and VS 2010 require licenses?

    As for BIDS, I haven't played with SQL 2012 much at all. As i understand it there are "sql server data tools" available which replace BIDS. Again, don't know much about this and not sure if it works with Dynamics AX at all. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that.

    You can install VS 2008 and 2010 side-by-side. There are many versions of Visual Studio, some require a license, others don't. I would personally use the one from the 2008 R2 media, since you have an implicit license for that one (it only contains the BIDS tools).

    I know AX 2012 R2 (which is being worked on) will have more extensive support for SQL 2012.
