HEAVY METAL POWERPIVOT
New SQL Server 2012
Was Project Crescent Now Power View
Was Project Juneau SQL Server Data Tools
What’s new in SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
• Builds upon V1 release in SQL Server 2008 R2
• New administrative capabilities
● Lots of bug fixing, failover capabilities and scalability
enhancements
● Default allocation algorithm changed to health-based rather than
round-robin (means we are more responsive to low memory
situations
● More administrative controls:
• Manage the amount of database caching done on the app
servers
• database caching cleanup (based on inactivity)
• Disable data refresh jobs if they are constantly failing, or if
they succeed but are not being viewed
SQL Server Denali PowerPivot
SQL Server Denali PowerPivot
(cont.)
• A new setup experience
• Rather than installing and configuring SharePoint directly, setup now
just lays down the bits and there is a new standalone configuration
wizard
• Capabilities:
● Wizard has both a one-click “GO” option as well as a
step-by-step experience
● Existing farm steps integrated with the wizard
● Individual steps can be scripted
● History is directly integrated into the tool
● Able to uninstall, upgrade, repair and patch separately

• Important note:
SharePoint SP1 is required for CTP3, RC0, and RTM
• SQL Setup will issue a warning if SharePoint SP1 has
not been installed when the PowerPivot bits are laid
down. This gives you some time to upgrade to SP SP1.
• However, if you still haven’t upgraded to SP1, by the
time you get to run the PowerPivot configuration wizard,
we will throw a fatal error and you will be blocked from
configuring your SharePoint farm until you upgrade to
SP1.
Gotchas! The multi-server hiccup
CTP3 comes with TCP\IP disabled
Until you enable this, no off server
communication will happen to SQL
Gotchas! The single-server hiccup
Can’t log in to SharePoint locally?
Check your Loopback settings!
