No, but… http://performancepointblog.com/2008/06/is-performancepoint-sp1-supported-on-sql-2008-no-but/ A Blog about PerformancePoint, SQL Reporting Services and all the nummy BI technologies that interact with them Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:49:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Russell http://performancepointblog.com/2008/06/is-performancepoint-sp1-supported-on-sql-2008-no-but/comment-page-1/#comment-36 Russell Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:37:47 +0000 http://performancepointblog.com/?p=10#comment-36 Well, I have colleagues who have gotten a complete system (PPS, ProClarity Desktop & PAS) up and running using Windows 2008 & SQL 2008 - but I'd never consider this in a production / qa / test environment since you'd be completely unsupported. I began trying this out myself and ran into too many roadblocks - didn't have the time to resolve them all, so I just went back to SQL 2005. Right now I'd recommend you keep running with SQL 2005...unless you do SQL Reporting. There is *SO* much good stuff in SSRS 2008, I'd be tempted to install SSRS 2008 *only* so I could take advantage of Dundas charts and other nice visualizations. If you go this route, you won't be able to use the PPS "SQL Report" report view until SP2 hits - Instead, you'd need to expose the report in your dashboard by using a web report view instead, and using it to point to the URL where your SSRS 2008 report lives.

Or what would you suggest as an installation strategy so that we don't have to do too much uninstall later on... Reply greatly appreciated. Thanks Now that SQL 2008 is out – and PPS SP2 is expected by early next year – do you have any suggested workarounds in the meantime? Or what would you suggest as an installation strategy so that we don’t have to do too much uninstall later on…
