Where is BIDS in Visual Studio 2015 or Blend for Visual Studio 2015

I was totally confused when i was finding my favorite BIDS or you can say Visual Studio for SSIS/SSRS/SSAS even when i successfully installed SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition with SP1 along with Blend for Visual Studio Community 2015 and Visual Studio Community 2015 both .

However when i tried to create my new project in SSIS , I was unable to find an option there.Microsoft no longer provides BIDS with SQL Server Installation after 2012 Version. They wants us to do some extra efforts I guess.:P . So what should we do to get our BI features?


Finally i have find out..there is SSDT missing.Its SQL Server Data Tools...So i looked for an independent version for that.I have got it from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501 or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt .


 

 Download the installer from there and install English Version on your machine. SSDT will add BIDS in Visual Studio Community 2015.

 That's all we need and it will take
 some minutes.   
Hopefully at least with next release of SQL Server , we will get all necessary tools in one one setup












Just finish your install and then you might need to 
Restart your machine or re-open Visual Studio
 2015 once again and then our favorite BIDS 
will be there .
