 Wait for a moment after clicking on the same, as it will take some time to load the page to update the details. Once page loaded you can see a form page where we need to update the following fields in terms to configure the SSRS service. 

Service Name: Enter the name of service, here we can choose as own. 

Application Pool: We can choose the existing Application pool to user service application or can create a new one, in my case we are creating new Application which will appear under IIS. Under App pool need to select Security account for the application pool, recommend using Farm account. 

SSRS Database: Here we need to select the Database server name and Enter the Database name, over here we can see the database authentic permission to select store procedure or windows, select windows. 

Web Application association: Select the Web Application to be associated to and provisioned for access by this SQL server reporting service Application.  

  

 

 Once all above field is updated, click on ok and wait for completion of the process to create SSRS service. 

 

• Once above process will get complete we will get Successful message on the same page/ 

  

• Click on Ok, will navigate to Manage Service Application page under CA. 
• We can verify this service by checking services under CA page: go to CA>System setting>Manage services on the server and check SSRS service is up and running.
