Did you hear that SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence (formerly known as BIDS) has been releases for Visual Studio 2012? It was announced last month, and we’ve seen a lot of downloads so far. The download adds support for the SQL Server 2012 BI projects (Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and Integration Services) to VS 2012, or installs a standalone VS shell if you don’t already have VS 2012 installed.
Also note that the component was renamed – we added “Business Intelligence” to the end to distinguish it from the SQL Server Data Tools (Juneau). We now refer to it as SSDTBI, rather than “SSDT, no, not that one, the other one – you know, the one that comes with the SQL installation media, not the one you download”.
Installation
Download the installer from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843.
When you run the installer, the SQL Server 2012 setup application will show up. Select the Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2012 option, and click Next.
On the next page, select the SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 option.
All online orders are processed quickly and securely, and you can buy the medicine that suits you.
Complete the installation process, and then launch Visual Studio 2012. You’ll now be able to create new SSIS projects in all of VS 2012’s monochrome goodness.
You guys crack me up with the letters and whatnot 🙂
Hi,
I have question on BID. My desktop had studio 2015 where BIDS was not supporting so had to download studio 2012 and could see Business intelligent also started working to make Reports using SRS but now when i am trying to use SSIS selected integration service report and not create a new connection manager cannot find dynamic CRM connection manager.
Can you help me in finding the solution.
Thank you
