Q: System Center Service Manager 2012 Management Server is connected to my Data Warehouse server but no reports are showing in the Service Manager console--how can I make them display?

A: When installing the System Center Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse, several steps have to be taken on the SQL Reporting Services server. These steps consist of copying the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Code.dll file from the Service Manager 2012 Prerequisites folder to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVERReporting ServicesReportServerbin folder (for SQL Server 2008 R2), and then editing the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVERReporting ServicesReportServerrssrvpolicy.xml file and adding the security required to use the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Code.dll file.

If the security hasn't been correctly configured when the management packs from Service Manager try to deploy to the Data Warehouse server, errors will be logged in the Operations Manager event log on the Data Warehouse server. They look like the following:

Notice the reference to the DLL file copied and the permissions issue. After you confirm you copied the DLL to the right location, open the rssrvpolicy.xml and ensure the code block documented at Microsoft's website has been correctly pasted at the bottom of the file.

The most common problem is that the code block isn't correctly pasted in and is therefore not used. Below is a correctly pasted block at the bottom of the file. Fix the file and save, and the change will take immediate effect. Make sure the preceeding CodeGroup block has its in place still or the new entry will not be used.
