I am a software developer and have basic knowledge in Power BI.
I have following concerns in Power BI Embedded which is PaaS. Can you please have a look and let me know.
I know that using powerBI Embedded, we can embed power BI reports into any web application.I want to use azure Sql DB and Power BI embedded.
Questions:
Other than accessing the embedded power bi reports via my web
application, do we have any other way where i can publish the power
bi reports similar to SSRS report server?
As app.powerbi.com is SaaS, do we have any alternative
deployment type for PaaS for deploying power bi reports which are
embedded in web application?
You can deploy the reports to Power BI Report Server installed on your server on-premise, or in a Windows VM in the cloud, and then embed them in your app. To license this Power BI Report Server you either need to buy Power BI Premium P SKU, or to buy SQL Server Enterprise with Software Assurance.

I'm trying to embed power report in sharepoint, which is done successfully, however, the problem is for the end users. If anyone is trying to view the report it's requesting for a sign up. My organization doesn't allow a direct sign up, it has to go through a IT portal and it's really not feasible to ask hundreds of end users to do that as some of them are senior management folks. Can someone please help me to resolve this
For Embed in SharePoint Online reports to work, the following is required:
1.The Power BI web part for SharePoint Online requires Modern Pages.
2.To consume an embedded report, users must sign in to Power BI service to activate their Power BI license.
3.Users need a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license, unless the report is hosted in a Power BI Premium capacity (EM or P SKU). In that case, users only need a free Power BI license to view reports embedded in Sharepoint Online.

I created a report using Power BI desktop APP. Publishing the report from Desktop application doesn't publish report to PowerBI workspace in azure.
Here is report that I uploaded using Desktop app
I used this article to get my uploaded report [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-get-started-sample/] from my Power BI embedded but the code doesn't return any report
You can not publish a report into power bi embedded with the desktop application. The power bi desktop will publish reports into the "power bi service" not power bi embedded.
You need to use the "Provision Sample" from the application on GitHub here.
When you run the provision sample choose option 6 to "import" your pbix file into the workspace you have created in power bi embedded.
Hope this helps.
The Power BI Embedded team also recently released a Node based command line tool that will allow you to import PBIX files into your Power BI workspace collection in Azure.
https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-Cli
npm install -g powerbi-cli
powerbi import -c <collection> -w <workspaceId> -k <accessKey> -f <file> -n [name]
I've got the task now of installing Cognos BI 10.1.1 on our new Linux environment, but they are requesting it not to have Framework Manager. Is this possible? If so what Cognos BI functions would I use to replace the metadata tool?
Cognos Transformer and Cube Designer can publish it's cubes directly to portal.
You can copy metadata as a deployment package from another Cognos BI server.
And you can install Framework Manager on Windows PC and connect it to your Linux Cognos BI Server.
I have been using Power BI features in Excel 2013 and was wondering what do I need to do to get them working in SharePoint 2013.
It depends what you mean by the "Power BI" features. Power BI is an Office 365-based product which provides what is, in essence, a cloud-based SharePoint-esque environment for all your self-service BI functionality.
A lot of this functionality (but not all of it) is also available in SharePoint 2013 (and part of it in 2010).
SharePoint 2013 Enterprise allows you to make use of the following features:
Sharing of Power Pivot models
Power Pivot scheduled data refresh
SSAS Tabular and multi-dimensional (SQL 2012 SP1 & SQL 2014 only) data sources for Power View
Power View report creation
"Vanilla" SSRS reports
To manage/share your Power Pivot models and create Power View reports, you need to be able to add a Power Pivot Gallery to your SharePoint site. This has several prerequisites, including an instance of SQL Server Analysis Services (2012/2014 BI or Enterprise Edition) in Power Pivot mode, and Reporting Services in SharePoint mode.
To do this, you need to follow the steps outlined in these two articles:
Power Pivot installation
Reporting Services for SharePoint installation
SharePoint 2013 does not support Q&A (the natural language query component of Power BI).
Is it required to have SharePoint server for working with Power View in SSRS? I have SQL Server with MSBI 2012. My client is inclined towards using Power view. Do I need need to install SharePoint (and pay for it) to use Power view in SSRS with SQL Server 2012 ?
Short answer is yes. From Microsoft:
Power View is now a feature of Microsoft Excel 2013, and is part of
the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services add-in for Microsoft
SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 Enterprise Editions.
And:
Power View is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from
SharePoint Server 2010
