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 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 know the Azure instance supports .Net Frameworks, I'm trying to figure out if it supports Microsoft Frameoworks. Basically I have an SSIS package with Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client reference.
I found this link:

You can install SharePoint Client Components SDK on an Azure SQL VM that has already SSIS installed. You can also install the SharePoint Online client components.
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 have a web site running in an Azure Cloud Services Web Role, which uses an Azure SQL Database. For development, I use SQL Server LocalDb, which was installed with Visual Studio 2013.
Now that SQL Server 2014 is released, should I switch to its version of LocalDb? Does the new LocalDb provide a more realistic emulation of Azure than the LocalDb that ships with VS2013? If I should switch, what should I uninstall and what should I install? Any other configuration changes?
Microsoft has released an update to SQL Server Data Tools which includes an update to LocalDb. The built-in Visual Studio 2013 Product Updates now includes the SQL Server Data Tools update.
I'm looking at the ssrs deployment guide on the Azure site and it says to specify a 2008 r2 target? is ssrs on Azure not 2012? can I deploy 2012 SSRS reports? Also it suggest I download report builder 3.0, do i need that if I plan to install 2012 BI ? Is there even a 2012 BI install for Visual Studio 2012? Ideally I'd like to build and deploy SSRS 2012 reports.
Also, Can SSRS2012 consume SharePoint Online List Sources? Any plans for SP Integrated SSRS in o365/SharePoint 2013 Online?
And finally, we are looking for way to move from SP 2007 On prem, but we have 500 SSRS 2005 reports in SharePoint we need to somehow deliver through SharePoint.. any good shorterm option while MS catches up with this critical integration need? Right now we have SharePoint clients that don't want to go to the Cloud without their SSRS Reports.
thanks.
Regarding SQL 2012 compatibility I can't find anything that explicitly confirms 2012 compatibility, but based on the "Guidelines and Limitations" info Azure SQL Reporting is compatible with SQL Server Data Tools, which are the new version of SQL tools released with SQL Server 2012. That page also contains a link to download Report Builder, which links to the 2012 version.

Note that Azure SQL Reporting only supports Native Mode report server (not Sharepoint Integrated) and also only supports Windows Azure SQL databases as a data source.
