I am using SharePoint 2013 and Windows 8 application.
Is it possible to connect to a PerformancePoint dashboard via the application and display items like the dashboard, graphs with drill to/drill down options?
I have no real experience with SP 2013 and PerformancePoint, the dashboard will be created by others. I need to connect to it and retrieve items.
Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial?
Thanks,
Andrew
Not knowing your Windows 8 application it hard to answer this. To truly use PerformancePoint for what it is intended, the Windows 8 application would need to expose the data thought an SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Data Cube.
If it does you can build a PerformancePoint dashboard based on the cube's data. If you do not have an SSAS Cube, PerformancePoint may not be the solution for you.
I recommend reading this article on MSDN to get an overview of PerformancePoint, PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint 2013.

I have a Development Project in motion where the end user interacts with an MVC Application to input data into it, then it gets submitted to SQL Server. Straightforward as it is really. Then the data is used to produce a PDF Report.
I want to use SharePoint to pull the data from SQL Server to create a .DOCX and integrate Microsoft office word 2010 to edit the document and publish as a .PDF
The MVC Application, Not a problem. ITs SharePoint Integration with Microsoft Word I'm not familiar with. SharePoint itself yes. Integration and Automation with Office Business Applications, no really.
Can anybody point me into the direction of good solid resources online into Office Integration?
Im using Sharepoint Server standard 2010 so One Word Automation is out...

First you need to make sure you have Enterprise Version of SharePoint. Then you need to configure SharePoint BI features. Activate BI features requires set of configurations on SQL/SharePoint, Possibly Kerberos configuration etc. You will get an overview of how to install/configure BI features at:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231671.aspx. You will also get an step by step instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx.
I am using CRM Online 2013 and I have to do reporting with custom code and there are reports that just cannot be done with Fetch XML. So my question is.
Can I use Azure integration with CRM Online 2013 to extract CRM data of entities into SQL Azure through some ETL tool like SSIS or any other (recommend please) and do the reporting through SSRS from SQL Azure?
If yes, then we come to our second step. Is there a way to call these reports from CRM Online? I know we can't upload the .rdl files with custom code to CRM Online. So I am thinking of calling the reports from CRM even though the reports may reside on Azure server.
Its the second step I am most worried about as being impractical. Suggestions?
I was wondering if you can have a single SSRS 2008 server be used for two different sharepoint farms? I have a SSRS 2008 box and would like to have two different reporting instances, one for each farm. We're in the middle of a transition from WSS --> MOSS, and I need to be able to support reporting on both.
It seems when you run the sharepoint configuration on the reporting box, it asks for the farm to connect to.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,

Reporting Services contains 2 parts, the SQL instance and the front-end.
If you want to use Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, you need to create an instance for each farm. However, both SQL instances can be in the same SQL box.
However, the reporting service front-end will need to be part of your SharePoint farm, so this part will need to be separated.
If you're planning to use the old RS webparts (iframe) or access RS webservices through code, you can do anything you want.
What are my options? I'm researching a 3rd party called QueryVision, but would like to explore other alternatives.
Cognos 8 can integrate with SharePoint 2003 directly. Check your Administration and Security guide - in recent versions there is a section dedicated to setting this integration up entitled "Deploying Cognos Portlets to Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and 2007."
One way you can integrate Cognos content directly into 3rd party portals and apps is to use parameterized URLs. Here's a link to the best practices document on the IBM site. Performing Tasks using Parameterized URLs in IBM Cognos 8 On page 15, it shows an example of integrating Cognos 8 into Sharepoint.
