I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I need to migrate an old VSS 2005 source control database and I have downloaded & installed Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Express 2015.
But I still have to use Visual Studio 2012 Professional (Reinstalled Team Explorer 2012 and then update 5). Trying to create a new project on TFS server throws error:
TF30172: You are trying to create a team project either without
required permission or with an older version of Team Explorer.
As I have added my account as TFS administrator I suppose the problem is with older version? Note that I have almost no experience with TFS, because I never needed it before. I cannot find any other means how to create a new project. (I planned to use this wizard).
Can I use TFS 2015 Express with Visual Studio 2012 Professional and if yes, how do I create a first empty project?
Yes, you are correct, only the latest version has "full" compatibility with the latest Team Foundation Server. You have to use the same Visual Studio of visual studio as the version of TFS that you're connecting to to create a team project.
If you're using TFS 2015 Update 2 or later then you can create a team project from the web as well.

We are working on a data warehouse project using SQL Server 2008 R2 and it's related BI tools (Entity Data Model, DLL, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS). Soon my team is going to need source control. We have Visual Studio 2012 set up. When we open project files in Visual Studio 2012 to check them in, they are updated from Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 format to 2012 format and no longer run correctly against our 2008 environment.
Has anyone had any issues like this? Does anyone have a good solution?
If you are using TFS, you could use Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Explorer, which will add the TFS plug-ins you need (Source Control Explorer) to check in your items. You could also use TFS Power Tools to check in items from Windows Explorer.
I'm getting this Message when trying to create a new project:
TFS 2012 Express and Visual Studio 2012 is installed in a separate Machines. All machines are members of the Active Directory, behind proxy and comes with Kaspersky EndPoint 10 MR.
Also I'm a TFS Console Administrator and have the highest rights available.
Visual Studio 2012 Machine Setup:
Professional Version with Update 4;
Windows 7 Pro SP1;
TFS Machine Setup:
TFS 2013 Express (TFS 12.0.21005.1 Tfs2013.RTM);
Windows 7 Pro SP1
Sounds like you need an updated version of Team Explorer (the connector between VS and TFS) since you are using TFS 2013 and VS 2012. VS 2012 ships with Team Explorer 2012 which can connect to TFS 2012 and earlier versions.
Take a look at the compatibility charts: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx
Perhaps you need Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30661
I figured out that the reason this throws the error message because the Team Explorer and TFS should be aligned with same version. In my context, I was using Team Explorer 2012 which ships with VS 2012 against a TFS Express 2013.
Team Explorer Version and the TFS Version should be the same to avoid this error appearing.
There were few things you could do,
As #madannes mentioned in his post above to use Team Explorer Everywhere
and
As Vivek Bansod explains in the MSDN Forum, I used the Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 (The shell version of VS 2013), to create a Team Project and then continued to Add Solution, Check-In and Check-Out operation against TFS Express 2013.
Download Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 from this link and create a project there. These projects can be connected to from VS 2012.
I'm going crazy, trying to use SSDT in Visual Studio 2012. I created a database but I can't add tables etc. because of this error.
I installed:
Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate
SQL Server 2012 Express x64 with Advanced Services, plus WinUpdates
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 x86 (couldn't find a specific x64 version)
SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier Application Framework (August 2013 both x86-x64 versions)
Basically I followed this MSDN piece of advice, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/04ee07bf-31d9-4a60-90ad-bf48c16eb4d1/ssdt-vs2012-error-dac-framework-compatibility?forum=ssdt
but without results
Is there something I have to do, or follow a particular order?
Really this stuff is driving me crazy
Thx evbdy
You need to download the latest version of SSDT from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027. Or you should be able to get it inside Visual Studio by choosing "SQL-> Check for Updates" from the top menu bar. This will install the latest SSDT and DacFx bits, and fix this error.
Unfortunately SSDT and SSDT-BI have confusingly similar names but are separate downloads with different functionality. That's why your installation of the SSDT-BI tool didn't fix this error.
I got SQL Server 2012 installed on my machine and I have SSDT to create BI projects.
Today i installed Visual Studio 2012; but i cannot create any of BI projects in Visual Studio 2012. Is there a way I can open BI (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS) projects in VS 2012 or should i have to always go back to SSDT to open them.
SSRS development functionality became available for Visual Studio 2012 in March 2013. And Microsoft started to distinguish between SSDT and SSDT-BI (which contains the BI tools). They are complementary installations, and both must be installed for Visual Studio to be happy working with SSRS reports.
The components needed for SSRS development are as follows:
Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2012
Download SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012
Download Data-Tier Application Framework (March 2013)
Check out this blog post. Basically, there are two versions of SSDT (even though Microsoft doesn't ever explicitly state this), and depending on how you installed SSDT, you get one or the other version. As a further note, SSDT will only work with BIDS in SQL Server 2012, not 2008R2.
In addition to this, only SQL Server Data Tools 2010/VS2010 has access to the entire BI suite. This is not yet available for VS2012/SQL Server Data Tools 2012, which only has access to the SQL Database project. Fortunately (or maybe not), both can be installed to the same system without systemic conflict. As to your mental conflict, your mileage may vary.
It is available now as an additional download at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843
