As per this link BIDS has been renamed to SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence (SSDT-BI).
‘SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence (SSDT-BI), previously known as Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), is used to create Analysis Services models, Reporting Services reports, and Integration Services packages.‘
SSDT-BI is not included with the SQL Server media, and at the time of this blog, the following SSDT-BI versions can be downloaded:
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013 (32bit). (The download is 1GB in size.)
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 (32bit). (This download is 784MB in size.)
A catch during the install of SSDT-BI is that you are asked to either perform a new installation or use an existing instance.
Unless you have SQL Server 2014 32bit installed, it’s best to select ‘Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2014‘ or you’ll likely get the following error if you have an existing 64bit install.
You may also be prompted to restart your computer, post install.
