Sheesh, take a day off from reading mail and you miss the chance to blog about one of the most important products on the day it RTMs. I’m a day late and a dollar short, but SQL 2008 released yesterday. It is build 1600.22, and I see it is already out on MSDN. It also appears to be available on connect.microsoft.com for TAP customers.
My next project is to install on PPS on a Windows 2008 VPC runing SQL 2008 and see what happens. I know neither of those are supported yet, but it appears that I should be able to get it to work using a couple of tricks.
I’ll post more details later!
I install Performance Point Server 2007 x64 on a Windows 2008 DataCenter Edition and SQL Server 2008 across two server. From my installation it appears that SQL server 2005 has been hard coded in the application? I’m unable to configure anything. Have you seen this problem?
Thanks
Louis
Hi,
Has anyone got this working yet? I am really keen to get SSAS2008 and PPS on the same VPC.
Cheers,
John
Hey John -
A couple of co-workers have taken the plunge now that PPS SP2 is available. The “gotchas” are that you need to install SQL 2005 CU9 on all the appropriate boxes to get planning working (documented), and that installing the Ajax redist multuple times is necessary to get M&A up and going (not so documented).
