We plan to process our SSAS Cube nightly after our data warehouse is loaded (SSIS package) using an SQL Agent Job.
1. What is the best option to automate the processing of our cube?
2. Can this be added to our SQL Agent Job?
3. As we will only be adding new dimensions and fact records, will be use Process Add?
4. Does the initial load require Process Full?
5. How can we configure a processing option before the automated execution?
I am running this procedure to copy the call data info from oma11wicacct01 to oma11csql5tst01 and to vsql4shared
INSERT INTO [oma11csql5tst01].[rms sql].dbo.WICCallData ( ClientID, ProgramID, Calls, ActSeconds, UsageDate ) SELECT WICCallData.ClientID, WICCallData.ProgramID, Sum(WICCallData.Calls) AS SumOfCalls, Sum(WICCallData.ActSeconds) AS SumOfActSeconds, WICCallData.UsageDate FROM WICCallData GROUP BY WICCallData.ClientID, WICCallData.ProgramID, WICCallData.UsageDate HAVING (Sum(WICCallData.Calls)>0 or Sum(WICCallData.ActSeconds)>0) AND WICCallData.UsageDate>'2/3/2008'
The usage date has to be greater than the max date on the target database!
I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
Hi. I have an Analaysis Services (2005) cube with four dimensions and one fact table (with three partitions - 2006,2007,2008) for which I need to create an SSIS package to process. I only want to process one of the three partitions (2008) - the previous two years should remain unchanged.
This is what I have currently in the Analysis Services Processing Task under Processing configuration: - An object for each of the dimensions with "Process Full." - An object for the 2008 partition with "Process Full."
(Note - Under Process Options, I see only Process Default, Process Full, Unprocess, and Process Data for dimensions and partitions).
Batch settings are: - Processing order: Sequential - Transaction mode: All in one transaction - Dimension errors: Ignore errors - Process affected objects: Do not process
When I execute the package, the cube loses the 2006 and 2007 data.
I am assuming that I have an issue with the Process Option or the Batch Settings, and I would appreciate any guidance!
The last node of my workflow in SSIS is an analysis Services Processing Task, which is supposed to fully reprocess a cube, defined in a different project.
In the configuration, I found the correct cube and setups for it, I thought I wasn't gonna have any problems with it, but it started to complain about user and password information. I thought since the databases configured itself when I added them, the same thing would happen with this Task.
I do have my own user and pass which has permissions to reprocess the cube, although I thought windows authentication would be better then setting up a user and password for the application/task.
I looked in the entire configuration pane and found no information regarding username and password. Where should I set it up, my SSIS solution or the Cube's solution?
This might be a newbie question, I'm not quite sure...
EDIT: Here is the error message: [Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: The following system error occurred: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. .
I am trying to run Olap Cube 2000 inside SSIS project. I am using "Analysis Services Processing Task" Object. The Visual Studio Project is sitting on the machine where the analysis 2000 is running but yet i get an error while establish a connection to the Analysis server.
On that machine also install MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005 .
the error is: A Connection Cannot be made . Ensure that the server is running.
Does Anybody have an idea to why i get this Error.
i have got a SSIS Package, that contains a sequence container with transactionoption "required". Within this sequence I placed different AS processing tasks and different SQL tasks. The transactionoptions of these tasks are set to supported.
My problem: in the case a SQL task fails on execution, all executed tasks are rolled back except the AS processing tasks. The expected and necessary behavior should be, that also the AS processing tasks get rolled back.
Has anyone got a solution or a workaround for this problem?
I am facing issue with partition processing. I am having a SSAS cube which is having 5 partitions. These partitions are processed through a sql server job using SSIS packages. In packages I used SSAS process task to do this.Now problem is, job is running successfully and showing that the step which is having partition process also fine.But data is not updating in the partition. While checking the partition properties, it is not updated with recent date and time.
When I try to manually process the partition, it is getting succeeded and recent data is getting reflected with recent date and time.Package configuration is done in job itself.
I'm getting this error during processing one dimension.OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: SQL Server blocked access to STATEMENT 'OpenRowset/ OpenDatasource' of component 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online.; 42000.my dimension contains member from two datasource table.
and in another dimension i get error;Errors in the high-level relational engine. The 'dbo_vicidial_Users' table that is required for a join cannot be reached based on the relationships in the data source view.Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'Staging User', Name of 'DimUsers' was being processed.
ETL Packages are getting failed sometimes(Package Execution Error). Eventhough executing ETL Package again from start, getting the same Error. But after Restarting Sql Service in BI Server, it is working fine. Whether it is the issue from Developer Code side or from server side.
I have designed a cube. It has two fact tables and some dimensions. Fact table to fact table is many to many relationship.
For example
FactMain DataKey(PK), StartDateKey, PostCodeKey, TotalCost FactBridge DataKey(FK), ProductKey(FK), Position - PrimaryKey on DataKey + ProductKey + Position DimProduct ProductKey(PK), ProductCode
Cube is built successfully, processed successfully.When I try to process the cube from agent job, I am getting error "Attribute key not found: tablename, value..." I have added a job step to run AnalysisServices Command. I have taken the command from cube process script(taken from manually process the cube and take script generated). I used ProcessAffectedObjects = "true" in the script. When I checked the tables, the key does exist. Why am I getting this error?
I 'm using 'Analysis Services Processing Task' as part of a SSIS package to refresh the cube. in the property page,
the 'loggingMode' is set 'enabled', but there is no records in the sysdtslog90 table while all other tasks are logged in the table. How to logging into the sysdtslog90 table?
We have an Integration services package that executes a few TSQL tasks, then processes an Analsys Services database. This has been in production for about three weeks now and twice the package has failed with this error from the event log:

I don't think that this error is accurate because the package and Analysis Services are on the same server.
Also, this does not happen in our development environment. Any help is appreciated.
I am getting following errors when i processed Cube in Production.An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'DIM_PARTICIPANT', Name of 'DIM_PARTICIPANT' was being processed. End Error
An error occurred while the 'PARTICIPANT NAME' attribute of the 'DIM_PARTICIPANT' dimension from the 'XL_GCS_SelfServices' database was being processed. End Error
An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'v d Transaction', Name of 'DIM_TRANSACTION' was being processed. End Error
An error occurred while the 'INVOICE NUMBER' attribute of the 'DIM_TRANSACTION' dimension from the 'XL_GCS_SelfServices' database was being processed. End Error.
But i implmented same in Dev and QA server, there is no issues found.
I have an olap database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process all the dimensions and cubes in "A" olap database.
I created "A1" olap database copy of "A" and made copy of "P" SSIS package as "P1" I opened "P1" SSIS package and updated olap connection properties "Initial Catalog = A1". A1 is my new olap database.
When I run package "P1" guess what? it processed "A" olap database's cubes and dimensions. Try it, not in production because I did it in production.
I am working on SQL 2012.We have a SSAS Cube build. On top of it client use Excel to connect to SSAS Cube and See the reports.My Cube process every hour and take almost a 1-2 min to Process.When ever End user/Client See or refresh the Excel report (Which use Cube as Source),WHEN CUBE IS PROCESSING ,they get an error that Source is not available
We Have tried best but cannot bring down the Processing time of the cube to 3-5 Second , so that End user don't face report refresh issue at the moment of cube processing
Requirement :In Case End User see the report while Cube is processing from back end , Instead of Error they should see some customize Msg which we can provide some thing Like "Data is Refreshing , please wait ".
I Have one cube, First time its Processed successfully and browsed fine. Now i was change in the cube Calculations/somewhere, now again process the process failed. I am unable to browse my cube. Is there any option to Rollback this processed cube and Browse with existing cube?What is require is, If cube process is fail, i want to browse the cube with existing cube after modify the cube also(if fails).
I get the following error while processing a SSAS tabular model (2014) on a new server.The SSAS service on this server is running under a login which has access to the SQL server data sources. I tried changing the provider to OLEDB from SQLCLNI11 in the connection string but that doesn't work too. The error message isn't useful to debug further.
The cube processing succeeds on a different server. I scripted out the cube DB and ran it on the new server and am trying to process full but it fails with the following error.

I've got an SSRS report that is set up using a data-driven subscription to supply input parameters to the stored procedure that is called to generate the report results.
I was wondering if there is any way to specify the execution processing method (running the reports in parallel or serially). The subscription that we have set up appears to be running all of the reports in parallel which is causing massive load on our servers.
I am trying to create a Adventure Works Tabular cube in my developing machine and im having problems deploying the tabular cube (the DW database was firstly attached without problems)
So I'm having problems processing Adventure Works Tabular Cube, the problems are somewhere between SSAS project configuration and running privileges, i think. I'll describe exactly where i am:
- in SSMS 2012, connections, tables and roles and roles are empty, i only have the full name of the database when I try to process i get an error "the table with id of "product category 92583829......", Name of Product Category refereced by the model Cube, does not exist. An error ocurred when loading the model cube, '?c:program filesmicrosoft sql serverMSAS11.MSSQLSERVEROLAPDataAdventureWorks Tabular model SQL 2012.0.dbModel.21.cub.xml'. (Microsoft AnalysisServices.)"
- in SQL Server configuration Manager, I have Sql Server (MSSQLSERVER) running with account NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER Sql Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) running with account .L.ABCDE , which is my account, i've changed because i've read somewhere that i could have problems with privileges.
(Note: it's strange because SSAS is tabular, i can see a blue rectangle (sort of) in SSMS but in configurator manager seems to be a cube.)
- in SSAS Project i unzip a clean copy of the project and the first error is that BIM file can't be found, it try's to find server TOSHIBA_S50_BTAB, but as i have only tabular SSAS running, i replace for TOSHIBA_S50... And some time ago it worked, now it doesn't even found TOSHIBA_S50_B?!!!!
We have set up an IS package to process an AS 2005 database (comprising cube & dimensions, etc) daily, via a SQL Server Agent job on both development and production systems. This has been working fine for months.
A new dimension was added to the cube on the development system - automatic processing via the IS package continued without issue. However, when the new dimension was added to the production system the IS package no longer processes the cube correctly. Although all appears ok (and all is present and correct in the logs), no data updates to the cube are made. Only when the cube is manually processed does the cube get updated.
Anyone got any ideas about how to get around this issue? We have created a new IS package, with a single Analysis Services Processing Task, and tried this but get the same outcome.
I'm facing an issue while processing OLAP. I have enabled BitLocker for dirve encryption and OLAP services uses this drive for db storage. OLAP is executing though SSIS package and I'm getting below error in Package. When debugging the script, it says Drive is encrypted using BitLocker.
My client requires TDE for all databases, for OLAP we decided to use BitLocker: [URL] ....
SQL server is installed on C Drive & D Drive is the storage location for OLAP DB. When locking D Drive, OLAP processing failed. When I tried to restart SQL Server Analysis service in Services.msc it is not starting. Service restarted only when D Drive is unlocked. Is there any way we can process OLAP even when the drive is locked?
Error message is given below:
"The following system error occurred: This drive is locked by BitLocker Drive Encryption. You must unlock this drive from Control Panel. "
I have deployed my SSAS project to an Analysis services database on a SQL 2014 server instance using the "Development" build configration in Visual Studio. In order to avoid users accessing the development instance of the cube, I've created an additional "Release" build configuration and deployed my project to a different database on the same server. I've also created a production copy of the data source and changed the data source configuration of the production cube to point to this one.
I've provided the same domain service account on the "Impersonation information" tab of the data source for both the development as well as the production instance of the cube. This account has also been granted identical permissions for both data sources. While everything works fine with the development database, processing the production database fails with an error message saying that it cannot connect to its respective data source.
I am trying to execute an SSIS package from a client that contains an Analysis Services Processing Task in the package. The client that does not have SSIS and SSAS installed. We are getting an error
The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. The same package runs from a server that has both SSIS and SSAS installed. Let me know if someone has come across the same problem.
I have an Analysis Services Processing Task in my SSIS package. I run the SSIS package using SQL Server job, the running of the package is a job step.
When I process manually the analysis services objects (in practise cubes) using dtexec utility I get a lot of log. In case the processing fails I get error messages that quite well describe the error. But when I run the job the only information I get in the job log is that the job step failed. I know the failure happens in the Analysis Services Processing Task.
Is there any way in SSIS to get a) the log of the Analysis Services processing or b) the error messages of the Analysis Services processing? Or should the processing be done some other way than I've been doing?
I'm fairly new to the SSAS/SSIS world (though not new on databases, etc.) and I'm having some problems with the SSIS packages in our Cube environment.
Currently in our SSAS/SSIS project, we have two major connection managers, one to the database we use for loading the Cube, and the other connector for the cube itself. To load the data from the database to the cube, we wrote some SSIS packages and used the Analysis Service Processing tasks to process all the dimensions and measures. This works pretty good, so no problems here.
The real problem starts, when I try to change the connection parameters, e.g. because the server changed, or the database has been renamed. As soon as the connection managers points to another (existing) cube, regardless if the structure is exactly the same as the one of the old cube, the tasks lose all the assigned objects from their lists. It is really annoying to add all these exactly same objects to the task again. I tried experimenting with the DelayValidation attribute so the Development Studio doesn't destroy my work every time, but when I deploy the package the Cube breaks. Obviously some kind of deeper connection is destroyed when I change the connection string.
Is there a way to prevent the package from breaking/losing objects, without me having to sacrifice 15 minutes every time I change the connection parameters?
I'm facing a strange problem.. I've developed few reports. they are working fine in develop environment. after successfull testing they were published on web. in web version, all reports are executing for first time.. if I change any of parameters values or without chaning also.. if I press "View Report" following error occurs..
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set 'dsMLGDB2Odbc'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
please suggest any alternative ways to overcome this issue thanks in adv.
I 've read that there is a workaround for this issue by customizing errors at processing time but I am not glad to have to ignore errors, also the cube process is scheduled so ignore errors is not a choice at least a good one.
This is part of my cube where the error is thrown.
DimTime PK (int)MyMonth (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.) Another Columns FactBudget PK (int)Month (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.)
I set the relation between DimTime and FactBudget doing DimTime MyMonth as Primary Key and FactBudget Month as Foreign Key. The cube built without problem, when processing the errror: The attribute key cannot be found when processingwas thrown.
It was thrown due to FactBudget has some Month values (201510, 201511, 201512 in example) which DimTime don't, so the integrity is broken.
My actual question: is there a way or pattern to redesign this DWH to correctly deploy and process?
I am creating an SSIS Script Task that will be used to process SSAS dimensions and partitions and ideally log the details of each in a table. Any info on the benefits or drawbacks of using the built-in SSAS parallel processing as opposed to doing it manually in a multi-threaded "Parallel.Foreach" loop using the .NET AMO library.
In my testing, when I use a Parallel.foreach loop, I am able to obtain and log information about the object such as end time and time to process immediately after each object is processed. This allows me to keep a history of processing time for each object:
public void processDimensions(Server Server, Database Database, ProcessType processType) { Parallel.ForEach(Database.Dimensions.OfType<Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Dimension>(), d => { DateTime beginTime = DateTime.Now; try { d.Process(processType);
[code]....
If circumventing the built-in SSAS parallel processing is not best practice I'd like to know in advance before I go too far down that path.
I am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.
I am trying to schedule the below XMLA query in Sql server agent Job and schedule it to run every 15mins or even less (if possible). However it seems to be not working and keep throwing all sorts of errors.
DECLARE @LastMeasureId AS INT, @myXMLA nvarchar(max) SELECT @LastMeasureId = "[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]" FROM OpenRowset( 'MSOLAP', 'DATA SOURCE=L68F728326574; Initial Catalog=GMDR;', 'SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]} ON COLUMNS FROM [GMDR]');
