I have a TEST database which contains 1 cube.
I have created another cube and I want to add this cube to the TEST database also.
However when I deploy the cube it overwrites the database with the new cube and the old cube is gone.
How can I have the 2 cubes within the TEST database.
I have a data dictionary report that is driven by measure and dimension description attributes in the SSAS project. Is there a way to generate some XMLA or something that allows me to update this "metadata" only without overwriting the database or requiring a full reprocess?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making my first attempt at creating a cube using Analysis Services based on my exisiting datamart. Datasource, views, and dimensions have been defined. But comes deploying the cube, it's giving the error saying "A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running." The Deploy Target server and database are the same where my datamart is. Or, maybe I don't know what I'm doing.
Would appreciate any suggestion for my enlightenment. Thanks
I've created a simple cube following the below link, but when I try to deploy the cube I am getting the below error.

I tried to connect from SSMS to analysis service, (Connect - > Analysis Services ) I am still getting the below error. I saw the SQL browser is running.
One more strange thing I noticed is, in the services I do not see the Analysis Services ( Screen attached below)....
Is it possible to have more than one cube under one SSAS database? For example I have a database "Test" and in this the cube exist is "TestCube", is iit possible to deploy another cube "TestCube2" under the Test databse?
If yes then what is the process to do that, the reason I am asing is there are some common dimensions used n both the cubes and I am not sure what is the best way so that I can use the shared dimension?
We have an application that takes an existing cube, clones it and then updates it in C#.
Database dbTarget = dbSource.Clone();
dbTarget.Name = databaseName_Target;
dbTarget.ID = databaseName_Target;
dbTarget.DataSourceImpersonationInfo = new ImpersonationInfo(ImpersonationMode.ImpersonateServiceAccount);
sSAS_CalculationServer.Databases.Add(dbTarget);
dbTarget.Update(UpdateOptions.ExpandFull);
We are receiving the following error when trying to Update the cube (the last line of code)Cannot update the 'Database' object 'DB Cube_Temp', it needs to be part of a connected Server object.
I am very new to SSAS. I have two queries:
1) As per my project requirement, if the changes in SSAS cube are approved, they should be committed back to the actual SQL Server 2012 tables. Is that possible, if yes how?
2) For rolling back to original data I truncate the relevant writeback table and process the cube.
I have problems creating a cube with AMO.
I can add the cube to the database object and fill it with dimensions and a measuregroup (see code below).
If I call cube.Update() it says something like "Error in meta data manager. Cube has no measuregroups." (getting the message in german language)
The error in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.OperationException.Results.Messages is -1055653629
I can't find any documentation about this (or any other) error code in Microsoft documentation.

CubeDimension dim = newCube.Dimensions.Add("dim1","dim1","dim1");
CubeAttribute attrib = dim.Attributes.Find("dim1Attr1");

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,
Dear all,
I'd like to get simple and clear explanation of the cube in data mining, and 3 notions we encounter a lot : Build, Deploy, and Process.
(1) What is the cube that is created when we deploy a mining solution/project?
I wonder what type of cubes they are because although the dialog on deploy/process
show that cube, after successful deployment we still don't see the cube in Cubes folder
of the project.
(2) Why the SQL Server created that cube? Even though we process only one table
and only use case-table (without nested table)
(3) Can someone explain these 3 concepts with CLEAR differences between them?
(A) Build
(B) Deploy
(C) Process
As far as I know, the stages are like that : build, then deploy, then process. Also, it seems
to me that those operations do not create objects inside 'Relational' database, but create
objects (binary and text, with text files usually in XMLA programming language) in the
related project's folders and subfolders. Any good explanation is appreciated.

I am very new to SQL, but I am now receiving a updates on a database from an online HD. My idea was that I could download the updated database and paste over the existing database in my SQL folder. For some reason that is not working. How should this database be updated. I would prefer not to have to drop and add everyday.
Possibly I could make a database that is not in any folder and then make an update to it from the newly recieved database, but I am not sure how that would be done.
Hello,
I'm trying to create installer that installs database from empty backed up database.
The SQL script executed by installer:
RESTORE DATABASE [DU] FROM DISK = N'$TARGETDIR$DuTempDU.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'DU' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU.mdf', MOVE N'DU_log' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
There $TARGETDIR$ and $DATABASE_DIR$ are MSI variables set on runtime. The REPLACE flag is not set, but DU database (non empty )still gets overwritten with empty database. Do I need to check manually if database exists before trying to restore it?
I am tring to figure out how to simplify the process of populating a database created by an application with the same database, only with data already in it. So far i have created a backup of the database and used that backup file with SQL server management express to overwrite the existing database with that backup file on a new computer so the program will have data when initally installed for Demonstration purposes. I was hoping there was an executable script that i could use, so that when someone wants a demonstration of our product, they can see its options and functionallity with data available. Maby i am going about this the wrong way, i need to know if there is a way that when our program is installed an executable can simply be run to populate our database with a backup of our sample database. Any imput would be helpful.
Thanks.

Our SSAS database has been deployed and we are currently working on our mining models.
Are we able to deploy these mining models individually using scripts and have them included in the already deployed database?
Hi,
I was talking to my boss to day and our report request are not very consistant. We always having someone coming back to change something in our report. We were thinking of useing something called the Cube Analysis. Then it give our employees the raw data for them to run any standard query for themself. We have folks that want a report one way, but then they changed their minds and we are creating yet another report 4 or 5 times. what are your thoughts about this type of database?
I setup Hiarchy in the dimentions of my cube, however when I go and look at it via proclarity, I can't see the hiearchy there.
I have one table that has:
Category
Subcategory
Partnumber
And I have the hiearchy set from Subcategory to partnumber.
Then I go into proclarity and limit the category by "my catname" and I still see the 8000 partnumbers in the list.
Any ideas?
I have a (hopefully typical) problem when it comes to cube design. Westore millions of product records every year, broken down bymonth/quarter. Each product can be assigned to various heirarchialclassification groups etc. The data in an OLTP DB occupies roughly100G for a typical year.We're looking at breaking this out into OLAP to provide faster accessto the data in various configurations and groupings. This is not aproblem, as this is the intended use for Analysis Services.The problem is that we apply projection factors on the product pricesand quantities. This would be ok if it only happened once, however,this happens every quarter (don't ask why). The projection factorschange 4 times a year, and they affect all historical product records.This presents a challenge because to aggregate the data into a usefulconfiguration in the cubes, you throw out the detail data, but thismeans throwing out the price and quantities which are needed to applythe projection.So if you have Product A at $10 and Product B at $20, and roll both upinto Category X, you'll have $30, but you'll lose the ability to applya projection factor of .5 to Product A and .78 to Product B. They'rerolled up.I don't want to regenerate the cubes every 3 months. That's absurd.But we can't live without the ability of projection theprices/quantities on a product level (detail level). So how can thisbe achieved when the other cubes are created at a higher level withless details and sums of the detail data?My initial guess is that we have to update the product data, and thenreaggregate all the other data that is built upon that product data.Is there any other way to apply math to the data on the way out?Thanks in advance!Regards,Zach

I know where the data files are etc, but what is the physical structure of a cube like on disk?
Logically we see the data as a star. Is the physical file akin to a star also? Or is a single file a measure group containing all the required member and measure data - thereby eliminating the need for physical join operators.

Is it correct to say that for each cube you can have only one Fact Table? I am having a funny dispute just now.
According my experience I never built cubes with more than one fact table, if I want take data from more than one table I write a view and I use it as Fact table...but a cube with two or three fact tables? Never tried..
i am currently trying to build a distinct count on my cube (mssql2005 analysis services).But after i added the discount count on the field i want to and start the processing, the following errors appear.Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect.

If there are any AS gurus out there, I could use some help. I've been having some problems with particular AS dimension and cubes and it's driving me crazy! It doesn't matter what I do, nothing seems to work.
Anyway, here's what I'm trying to do. I've got a fairly simple dimension. There is a date stored in the dimension that is formatted as an int. The dimension needs to only display AGE, so I cast the int as a date and do a datediff to get AGE. The dimension builds just fine and I get the results I want. My problem is when I add the dimension to the cube. The cube fails to build and I get an error message - "Data source provider error: The column prefix 'MY TABLE' does not match with a table name or alias used in the query." Basically, AS is telling me that the table that is used for the dimension doesn't exist, even though the fact and the dimension are joined properly and I've validated the structure.
I've run a number of queries in QA on the two tables and everything works fine. No funky data issues. I've run the service packs a few times, but that didn't work either. I've tried making a cube that only has the just fact table and the one dimension table, and it still fails.
Basically, I'm out of ideas. Any help that anyone has is greatly appreciated.
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 have been trying to get the ValueR column of the following query through the MDX but instead getting ValueW as output of the MDX
select
exp(Log(sum(MTMROR)+ 1 ))-1 as ValueW,
exp(sum(Log(MTMROR + 1)))-1 as ValueR
from
Temp_Performance
where Rundate in ('2015-03-01','2015-03-02')
MDX written for the above query is
With
Member [Measures].[LogValuePre]
as ([Measures].[MTMROR] + 1)
Member [Measures].[LogValuePre1]
as VBA
[Code] ...
[MTMROR] measure has the aggregate function Sum. What i can get from this behavior is MDX is first aggregating the result and default aggregation function is Sum. When i try to see the value with more granular data by having the date dimensions on the row (un-commenting the date dimension) i get the correct log and exp log values. Its showing the correct value as date dimension is most granular level in the fact table. While trying to get the data at less granular level(Fund level), getting the sum function applied automatically.
If i set AggregateFunction to none in the cube structure, i get null as the output.
How could i apply the log function before the sum function in the [MTMROR] measure?
