I recently successfully implemented one-way log shipping from a production SQL 2005 database to a new SQL 2012 database in the hopes that I can use the 2012 database to run SSRS 2012 on it.
Unfortunately, the 2012 database is kept offline since log shipping between two DIFFERENT SQL versions can only be done in a NO RECOVERY mode. (Standby mode is NOT available which would make the SQL 2012 read only and therefore workable for SSRS 2012.)
Does anyone have any suggestions on if there is another method on how to achieve this?
