SqlRS: Allow the report server database name to be configured - #2484
Adds an optional DatabaseName property to the SqlRS DSC resource so callers
can select a custom-named Reporting Services catalog.
When the property is omitted, the resource preserves the existing database-name
derivation for all Reporting Services versions and instance types. When an
explicit name is supplied, the resource:
uses it for database and rights script generation and the database connection;
checks whether the catalog already exists and skips the creation script when
attaching to it;
returns the configured name from Get-TargetResource; and
includes it in desired-state comparison without changing historical behavior
for configurations that omit the property.
The corresponding temporary database remains derived by Reporting Services.
Validation:
Windows PowerShell build succeeded.
All 51 focused DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1 tests passed on PowerShell 7.6.9 / Pester
6.0.0. The focused run does not satisfy the repository-wide coverage threshold
because only the affected test file was executed.
Added an entry to the change log under the Unreleased section of the
file CHANGELOG.md. Entry should say what was changed and how that
affects users (if applicable), and reference the issue being resolved
(if applicable).
Resource documentation updated in the resource's README.md.
Resource parameter descriptions updated in schema.mof.
Comment-based help updated, including parameter descriptions.

- Around line 457-462: Update the CanViewAnyDatabase permission check in the
database existence query to treat either VIEW ANY DATABASE or ALTER ANY DATABASE
as sufficient visibility. Preserve the existing DatabaseExists and
IsReportServerDatabase checks and the absent-catalog creation flow.
Review comments at @source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/README.md:
- Around line 15-18: Narrow the README description to state that the resource
checks for the presence of dbo.ConfigurationInfo and dbo.Catalog as marker
tables; do not imply it validates the full catalog schema or detects all partial
or damaged databases.
- Around line 36-39: Update the README guidance for existing catalogs to state
that the login needs metadata visibility for the ConfigurationInfo and Catalog
tables; clarify that VIEW ANY DATABASE alone may be insufficient and document
the required database-scope VIEW DEFINITION permission.
Walkthrough
The DSC_SqlRS resource adds an optional DatabaseName. If omitted, it uses the existing version- and instance-based default. If supplied, the name is used for catalog configuration and desired-state comparison. Set checks existing catalogs and reports when an installation must join a scale-out deployment.

Summary
Expose and resolve the database name source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.schema.mof, source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1, tests/Unit/DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1
The schema and resource functions add the optional DatabaseName property. Get returns the configured name. Set uses the supplied name or derives the existing default. Tests cover returned names and derived defaults.
Configure the selected catalog source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1, source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/en-US/DSC_SqlRS.strings.psd1, tests/Unit/DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1, source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/README.md, CHANGELOG.md, tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1
Set checks whether the selected database exists and contains the Reporting Services catalog tables. It creates a catalog only when absent and rechecks after a creation error. Set also reports when a local installation must join an initialized scale-out deployment. Tests and documentation cover these paths. The integration tests cast $env:APPVEYOR to Boolean for -Skip.
Compare the requested database name source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1, tests/Unit/DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1
Test forwards an explicitly supplied name and reports a case-sensitive mismatch as out of desired state. Tests cover matching, differing, and case-only differing names.
dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc#2482: It changes the same resource function signatures and integration-test lines, although it adds the independent StatementTimeout feature.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to c9ad5
Resolve the unintended URL changes before merging: switching catalogs can replace custom HTTP reservations unless they are supplied explicitly. Hardened SQL logins also face an avoidable provisioning failure, and the catalog permission and recovery documentation needs correction.

Explanation
The title names the main change: an optional DatabaseName property lets callers configure the Reporting Services report server database name. The changeset adds DatabaseName to the SqlRS resource's Get, Set, and Test functions, the MOF schema, the README, and the tests. The title is specific and matches the primary change, so it passes.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the purpose: an optional DatabaseName property on the SqlRS DSC resource for a custom-named Reporting Services catalog. It explains default behavior when the property is omitted, the effects when it is supplied (script generation, connection, existence check, Get-TargetResource output, desired-state comparison), and the test results. It relates directly to the changeset, so it passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#2483] Requirements checked: (1) optional DatabaseName write property in DSC_SqlRS.schema.mof; (2) DatabaseName parameter in Get-TargetResource, Set-TargetResource, and Test-TargetResource; (3) default derivation preserved when the property is omitted (ReportServer for SQL 2017+ and default instance, ReportServer$<InstanceName> for named instances); (4) explicit name used for database script, rights script, and database connection; (5) Get-TargetResource returns the configured name; (6) Test-TargetResource compares the name only when DatabaseName is supplied, using a case-sensitive comparison; (7) existing catalogs are detected and the creation script is skipped; (8) no separate TempDB property, so SSRS derives the temporary catalog name; (9) unit tests cover explicit names, omitted-property fallback, existing and missing catalogs, comparison, apostrophe escaping, and idempotence; (10) README, CHANGELOG.md, and strings are updated. The psm1 and test file text at head was not re-read in this review. This assessment relies on the supplied change summaries and the visible head code from the previous review, which both show the behavior above. The new fail-closed, schema-validation, and concurrent-creation paths support the requirement to use an existing initialized catalog without recreating it or editing SSRS internal tables. Scale-out support is limited to an actionable waiting-to-join error. The issue lists scale-out coverage only as a maintainer question, so it is not a coding requirement. No unmet coding requirement is found.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The head commit c9ad5cf ("Fix SqlRSSetup AppVeyor test discovery") changes tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1. Two Context blocks change from -Skip:($env:APPVEYOR) to -Skip:([System.Boolean] $env:APPVEYOR). This edits the integration test of a different resource, SqlRSSetup. It does not implement any requirement of #2483, which concerns the SqlRS resource and its DatabaseName property. The PR objectives also list this change as a separate fix. No link to DatabaseName behavior is shown, so the change is out of scope for this PR. The other changes reviewed, including the schema, psm1, README, unit tests, strings, and the database-existence, schema-validation, concurrency, and scale-out handling, relate to #2483. The CHANGELOG entry mentions adapted resource manifest generation in the build pipeline. The CHANGELOG diff could not be read in this review, so that build-pipeline change is unverified. It is not the basis for this result.
Resolution
Remove the hunks in tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1 from this pull request. Move the AppVeyor test-discovery fix to a separate pull request. Also remove any CHANGELOG entry for the build-pipeline manifest generation change if that change is not part of #2483.

source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1:389-398 Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Default URL reservations now overwrite existing reservations on an initialized instance.
The new condition at Line 381 lets an initialized instance enter this block when only DatabaseName differs. Lines 389-398 then set $ReportServerReservedUrl and $ReportsReservedUrl to @('http://+:80') if the caller did not pass them.
Lines 671 and 685 later check $null -ne $ReportServerReservedUrl and $null -ne $ReportsReservedUrl. Both checks now pass because of the injected default. If the current reservations differ from http://+:80, Set-SqlDscRSUrlReservation replaces them with the default.
The caller changed only the database name, so the resource silently changes the HTTP bindings. Test-TargetResource uses $PSBoundParameters, so it does not report the change. The final test therefore passes.
Previously, only uninitialized instances reached this block. The default is only needed for the uninitialized-instance setup at Lines 407-424. Apply it only when the instance is uninitialized. Add a test for an initialized instance with a changed DatabaseName, no URL parameters, and non-default current reservations. The test must assert that Set-SqlDscRSUrlReservation is not invoked.
Proposed fix
- if ( $null -eq $ReportServerReservedUrl )+ if (-not $isReportingServicesInitialized -and $null -eq $ReportServerReservedUrl)
{
$ReportServerReservedUrl = @('http://+:80')
}
# If no Report Manager/Report Web App reserved URLs have been specified, use the default one.
- if ( $null -eq $ReportsReservedUrl )+ if (-not $isReportingServicesInitialized -and $null -eq $ReportsReservedUrl)
{
$ReportsReservedUrl = @('http://+:80')
}

The database existence check and the database creation are not atomic.
452-453: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
The database existence check and the database creation are not atomic.
The existence check runs at lines 450-453. The CREATE DATABASE script runs at lines 455-461, only when the check returns 0. Two nodes that configure the same report server database can both read 0 before either creates it. The second node then fails with a database-already-exists error. The failure is not caught, so that run stops without attaching to the database. A later run detects the existing database and attaches, so the failure is recoverable.

The database existence check and creation can race when multiple nodes configure
the same database. Update the creation path following `$databaseExistsResult` so
a concurrent database-already-exists failure triggers a fresh existence check
and proceeds to attach when the database now exists; preserve propagation of
unrelated creation errors.
Add a regression test for an apostrophe in DatabaseName.
Add a regression test for an apostrophe in DatabaseName.
The DB_ID mock at tests/Unit/DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1:514-516 returns the same result for any query that contains DB_ID. It does not check the query text. The only escaped-name assertion, at line 686, uses ReportServer and the default instance name. Neither value contains an apostrophe. The tests in this file therefore do not check the escaped query text for an apostrophe name. Removing Replace("'", "''") at source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1:450 would not fail the suite.
Add a test case that sets DatabaseName to a value with an apostrophe, such as O'Brien. Assert that the query contains the doubled apostrophe, DB_ID(N'O''Brien'). The current code produces this query, so the new test documents and protects existing behavior.

Add a regression test using an apostrophe-containing DatabaseName such as
O'Brien, and assert that the query passed to the DB_ID mock contains the
correctly doubled apostrophe. Update the DB_ID mock’s query verification so the
test fails if the escaped query text changes.
Addressed both follow-up findings from the CodeRabbit review:
Non-atomic database existence check and creation — fixed in 97ed54cf. If creation fails, the resource now performs a fresh catalog check and continues only when another node has concurrently created a complete report server catalog. If the database is absent, incomplete, or cannot be rechecked, the original creation error is preserved.
Apostrophe escaping regression coverage — added in b032b9aa. The test uses DatabaseName = "O'Brien" and verifies that the existence query contains DB_ID(N'O''Brien').
Validation: clean,build succeeded, and the focused DSC_SqlRS.Tests.ps1 suite passed 82/82 tests.
Assert that the existence query selects HAS_PERMS_BY_NAME.
The default Invoke-SqlDscQuery mock returns CanViewAnyDatabase = 1 for any query that matches DB_ID. If the HAS_PERMS_BY_NAME expression is removed from databaseExistsQuery, the unit tests still pass. Add an assertion on the query text that requires HAS_PERMS_BY_NAME in the existence query, so that this regression fails the unit tests.
Example assertion

The database existence test does not verify that its query checks permissions.

Assert that the catalog check requires both marker tables.
The invalid-catalog test mocks Invoke-SqlDscQuery and returns IsReportServerDatabase = 0. The mock ignores the query text, so the AND condition at source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlRS/DSC_SqlRS.psm1:451 does not run in this test. If AND changed to OR, a database that has only dbo.Catalog would return 1. The guard at lines 468-477 would not fire, and setup would continue to the rights script and database connection.
Checking that the query text contains both table names does not detect this change, because the OR form contains both names too. Check the conjunction instead. Add this assertion to the It block that covers the invalid-catalog case:
Should -Invoke -CommandName 'Invoke-SqlDscQuery'-Exactly -Times 1-Scope It -ParameterFilter {
$PassThru-and$Query-match'ConfigurationInfo.*IS NOT NULL AND OBJECT_ID\(.*Catalog.*IS NOT NULL'
}
Alternatively, add an integration test that runs against a database that has only dbo.Catalog. That test should assert that setup fails with ExistingDatabaseIsNotReportServerCatalog.

Accept ALTER ANY DATABASE in the catalog visibility check.
A login with ALTER ANY DATABASE can see database rows through DB_ID. The absence guard checks only VIEW ANY DATABASE, so such a login stops with DatabaseExistenceCannotBeDetermined before it creates an absent catalog. Include ALTER ANY DATABASE in the CanViewAnyDatabase check.

The README says the resource "verifies core Reporting Services catalog tables" and stops for "partial, damaged" databases. The code checks only that dbo.ConfigurationInfo and dbo.Catalog exist. A catalog that keeps those two tables but lacks another required object passes this check. The resource then runs the rights script and connection step. Describe the check as a marker-table check, or add a full schema validation before the rights script runs.

Narrow the README description to state that the resource checks for the presence
of dbo.ConfigurationInfo and dbo.Catalog as marker tables; do not imply it
validates the full catalog schema or detects all partial or damaged databases.

Document the metadata visibility needed for an existing catalog.
The absence check needs visibility of the database itself. An existing catalog needs more. The resource reads ConfigurationInfo and Catalog metadata before it connects, and VIEW ANY DATABASE alone can leave those objects hidden. When the login cannot see them, the check fails with "the catalog schema could not be verified." That message advises repairing or restoring the database, even when the database is intact.

Update the README guidance for existing catalogs to state that the login needs
metadata visibility for the ConfigurationInfo and Catalog tables; clarify that
VIEW ANY DATABASE alone may be insufficient and document the required
database-scope VIEW DEFINITION permission.

Pull Request (PR) description
Adds an optional
DatabaseNameproperty to theSqlRSDSC resource so callerscan select a custom-named Reporting Services catalog.
When the property is omitted, the resource preserves the existing database-name
derivation for all Reporting Services versions and instance types. When an
explicit name is supplied, the resource:
attaching to it;
Get-TargetResource; andfor configurations that omit the property.
The corresponding temporary database remains derived by Reporting Services.
Validation:
