We are migrating/upgrading from one SharePoint 2010 farm with a SQL Server 2008 R2 backend and SSRS integrated instance to a new SHarePoint 2013 farm with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 backend.
According to this Technet guidance under the Restore section (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh759331.aspx) these are the steps:
- Restore SharePoint Content databases to the new farm.
- Restore the Reporting Services encryption keys.
- Restore the SQL database that is the Reporting Services catalog database (ReportServer).
- Restore Reporting Services configuration files.
- Create a new Reporting Services service application.
Anyone else see the issue here? How can I restore the keys in step 2 if the SSRS database isn't yet restored (step 3) and the SSRS service application isn't created (step 5)?
