Reporting Services in SQL Server 2012 is now configured as a SharePoint 2010 service application:
- Reporting Services (RS) is hosted in the SharePoint 2010 shared service application pool. The RS catalog databases are managed as SharePoint service application databases.
- Administration of RS is now through the SharePoint Central Administration user interface, including configuration, monitoring and management of the RS service application.
- Integration with SharePoint provides improved communication, authentication, deployment and a more unified administration experience for RS compared to previous versions.
