CSR - SQL Database - Partitioning: Not supported by database ?

[lubomir_cerny]

Hello.

I am trying install new fresh ePO5.10 Update4 +.CSR2.6 with external MS SQL Server 2016 Standard SP2 CU10.

CSR still reports Partitioning: Not supported by database.

I can not found any documentation specific about CSR and partitioning.

Any idea where to check SQL partitioning option on SQL side? Based on SQL doc, partitioning should be available in MSSQL2016Std from SP1 by default and CSR should configure partition during DB schema deployment.

thx for any help/idea.

It's enabled in CSR.  I've already done it, and I believe these are the steps...

In CSR go to Report Server Settings.  Then click Database.  Then click edit.

Click Advanced, then there's an option to partition the database.  It should be supposed on all versions MSSQL2016.

Hi,

The partitioning option will be available only on Enterprise edition. Make sure DB server has enough space

Go to Report server Settings - database tab - edit -  Advance  -- Check whether partition option is available ?

Hi aloksard. DB partitioning is part of SQL2016 Standard from SP1. Enterprise edition is not needed anymore.

Tested on SQL2016 Std with SP2 using sample from https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2888/how-to-partition-an-existing-sql-server-table/

Works on SQL side, but ePo reports partitioning is not supported.

Could there be (in CSR) some SQL version check for "Enterprise" when connecting to external DB ?

Now I tested using SQL2012 Enterprise but CSR still reports no partitinioning supported.
So fresh SQL install with 600GB disk free space:
SQL2016Std SP2:
- not supported in CSR
- OK in SQL Studio (via sql query)
SQL2012 Ent:
- not supported in CSR
- OK in SQL Studio (via sql query)

Escalated to support as SR-4-20441246661

Hi AaronT

Strange, but Advanced options still displays Partitioning not supported.

SQL server itself supports such feature as I can use SQL Wizard to partition. So I guess there must be some DB or ePO settings.
