SQL SERVER 2012 POWERPIVOT
Builds upon 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 ‘knobs’ to control:
Amount of database caching done on the app servers
Cleanup of database caching (based on inactivity)
Disable data refresh jobs if they are constantly failing, or if they succeed but are not being viewed
New capacity planning health rules for CPU, memory and disk space (you will start to see
warnings if you are running out of resources)
Support for transparent connectivity (.bism files)
New midtier minidump facility

TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS AND RESOURCES
SQL SERVER 2012 POWERPIVOT A new setup experience
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
Rather than installing and configuring SharePoint directly,
setup now just lays down the bits and there is a new
standalone configuration wizard.
