HI,
How can we upgrade SSRS from SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2019?
We understand Microsoft has decoupled SSRS from SQL Server installer set up and we need to download and install SSRS separately. If we upgrade SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2019, followings steps are involved.
- Upgrade SSAS, SSIS and Database Engine services in one shot
- backup encryption key and Uninstall SSRS 2014
- Install SSRS 2019
- Restore encryption key
- Perform all the reports related configuration and point to old ReportServer database
In this way we need to do minimal changes and all reports and their configuration would be retained.
My questions are:
- Is there is a way to upgrade SSRS seamlessly ? I meant avoid all the changes in configuration, just uninstall old SSRS and install new SSRS
- Is there a better way to do SSRS upgrade, other then above mentioned steps?
As always, Appreciate your insights and valuable help.
Thank you.
