Database migration to the cloud Possible techniques Using the “Script database” task in SSMS with “script data” Only for relatively small databases Using SSIS packages: Dataflow Tasks ADO.NET & ODBC only Use bulk insert Using bcp (bulk copy program) Script schema like before Create a format file for every table Export data into file Import data into SQL Azure SQL Azure Migration Wizard (Codeplex) 3rd party tool (Wizard or command line)

8. Creating a report for the cloud Change data source from on premise to the cloud Add a new data source pointing to your SQL Azure account Change the data source in the dataset(s) Make your report ready for deployment in the cloud Project properties: change the target url Remove any local data sources Deploy Go to report server using SQL Azure credentials

9. Demo moving report to the cloud

10. Modifying the ASP.NET application Modify the reportUrl in the report viewer from on premise to SQL Azure Reporting Services Result? A strange error telling that the content has moved… Cause SQL Azure Reporting Services uses a custom forms authentication extension Solution Supply the SQL Azure Reporting credentials in the way supported by the forms authentication extension. Save the authentication cookie from the authentication attempt with the report server
