Hi,
Can anybody tell me How to access Analysis Service 2005 cubes through normal Stored Procedure.
Basically can write a stored procedure that we normally write in database service and use it access the Analysis Service 2005 cubes.
Is it possible

Hi,
I would like to process an AS 2000 cube in SSIS.
I'm using the 'Analysis Services Processing Task', but I just get the error 'A connection cannot be made. Ensure the server is running'.
It would be an unfortunate limitation if you can only process 2005 cubes in SISS. Does anyone know if its possible to process 2000 cubes in SSIS?
Many thanks

I need to design an SSIS package that processes three cubes within a SSAS database and all their related dimensions.
I also need to ensure this SSIS task is transactional (i.e users are able to browse and query the cube continuously throughout the day...even while the cubes are being processed).
I have noticed that simply adding an Analysis Services Processing Task, and having that task process the 3 cubes with the process options set to "Process Update" and the "Process affected Objects" (visible after clicking change settings) selected DOES NOT force the processing of the dependent dimensions of the cubes.
I have also tried changing the Process Options of the 3 cubes to "Process Full"
I also get errors implying that attribute keys in the fact table are not found in the dimension indicating that the cube is being re-processed before the dimensions have or the dimensions were not re-processed. I came to that conclusion because..If I manually (via management studio) process the dimensions and then the cubes immediately after this error...there are no errors.
I have worked around this by creating two tasks. The first processes the dimensions and the second processes the cubes. This however will not work for jobs run in the day..since it means the cubes may be in an invalid state when the dimensions are being processed.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advice or standards that might help?
Hi all,
I am working on datawarehouse
using sql server analysis manager.
I created a cube ..that is working fine
but now i have to distribute to end users
so how to do it and how many ways we can do that
1)can we make that .cub file
2)how can give access to endusers
without giving access to database
3)how to host a cube and access from
excel or any other software

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of my client requires TDS for all databases. My BI product has reports with OLAP Cube as data source.
How about using BitLocker for the HDD where the abf is physically located.
I work with 2 cubes on live and one for development. I've set the roles in the live cube (using SQL Server management studio). If i go to the design mode of the cube the new roles are not there, so deploying the cube will not update the development cube with the roles. How one can easily copy roles between cubes. (adding them manually would be a lot of work because there are quite a lot of different roles).

I tried to put the name of the Cube as parameter:

It didnt work too.. Is it Possible at all make the Cube-name dynamic?!
Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
How can I UNION two MDX query results which are deriving from 2 cubes?MDX queries will return same ROW information and only Measure names will be different.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to extract data from SSAS' cubes into a SQL Server table.
I already read examples using Linked server (with openquery), SSIS, etc. However, the result always return as many columns per dimension as levels. I need to extract all members of a dimension in a column. E.g., when excecuting the following MDX query in Adventure Works 2014:
select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns,
Non Empty [Date].[Calendar].members on rows
from [Adventure Works]
I would like to get this result (MDX query in SSMS), but with keys displayed intead of names:
But I get this (MDX thru openquery or SSIS):
I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running into a problem where Excel 2010 is freezing when I try to work with data coming from a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 pre-built cube.
What is happening is that when I go to add a second dimension to my pivot table, excel locks up and becomes completely unresponsive for at least 2 hours. If I add the dimension to the table before the measure though, everything is fine.
For Example, I am trying to build a sales report with the product name and customer name as dimensions, and Sales as the measure. If I add the product name to my pivot table as a column and then sales as a measure, Excel will freeze when I try to add the customer dimension. However, if I add both dimensions to the pivot table first and then the measure, Excel seems to work fine.
My Power view reports do not show the grand totals correctly. I think my issue relates perfectly to [URL]. However we have updated service pack 2 on both the sql data warehouse and the ssas box. They are 2012. However the power view is still incorrect. Pivot tables seem to work just fine. In AS I have a 2 separate measure groups that has a total count. I then use mdx to bring those two together. Something I have done many times in past with as 2008. My mdx looks like this below. I then hide Total Count EC (from measure group 1) and Total Count SF (from measure group 2). This way I have 1 total count value and they can use another dimension to see the two separate if needed.
CREATE
MEMBERCURRENTCUBE.MEASURES.[Total
Count New] AS
//
([Measures].[Total Count] + [Measures].[Total Count SF]),
DISPLAY_FOLDER
=
'Totals',
ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP=
'Report',
FORMAT_STRING
=
"#,#0",
VISIBLE=
1;
The measure Total Count EC works just fine but the Total Count (MDX) does not . All in Power Pivot works fine but in Power View the grand totals are not correct.
Is there any way to track the information about the connections to SSAS cubes through local Excel files (BI usage).
OPreviously, we are tracing the information about the BI usage through the BI SharePoint site. Now we want track the users who are using through local excel files .
Can applications connect to SSAS Tabular mode cubes through ODBC drivers? I have been asked the question specifically regarding SAS, and I can see (for example) SAS Enterprise Guide has the ability to connect to sources via ODBC, so I now need to find out if there are such things as ODBC divers for SSAS (specifically Tabular).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using
SSAS: version 2008
Excel: version 2013
I am connecting to SSAS cube from Excel and I have date dimension with 4 fields (I have others but I don't use it for this case). I created 4 fields in order to test all possible scenarios that I could think of:
DateKey:
- Type: System.Integer
- Value: yyyyMMdd
Date:
- Type: System.DateTime
DateStr0:
- Type: System.String
- Value: dd/MM/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)
- Example: 01/11/2015
DateStr1:
- Type: System.String
- Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)
- Example: 1/11/2015
Filtering on date is working fine:
Initially, in excel, filtering on date was not working. But after changing dimensional type to time, and setting DataType to Date, as mentioned in [URL] filter is working fine as you can see in the picture.Grouping on date is not working:
I have hierarchy in my Date dimension and I can group based on hierarchy, no problem. But user is used to pre-build grouping function of excel, and he wants to use that. Pre-build functions of Excel, Group and ungroup seems to be available as you can see in following picture:
But when user clicks 'Group', excel groups it as if it is a string, and that is the problem. User wants to group using pre-build grouping function available in Pivot table. I also find out that Power Pivot Table does not support this excel grouping functionality. And if I understood well, this pre-build grouping functionality of excel, needs to do calculation at run time, and that is not viable solution if you have millions of rows. So Power pivot table does not support pre-build grouping functionality of excel and hence we need to use dimension hierarchy to do the grouping. But I am not using Power Pivot table, I am using simple Pivot Table. So I expect grouping functionality to be working fine. Then I tried to do simple test. I created a simple data source in excel itself. And use it as source of my Pivot table. Then grouping is working fine. The only difference that I can see is (When double click the Measure value in Excel),For date values of my simple test, excel consider them as 'Date'.
For date values of my data coming from cube, excel consider them as 'General'
2.1. But value here is same as it was in simple test.
2.2. 'Date Filter' works just fine.
2.3. If I just select this cell and unselect it, then excel change type to 'Date' though for that cell.
2.4. I have created 4 different types of fields in my date dimension thinking that values of attribute of my dimension might be the problem, but excel consider 'General' for all of them.
2.5 This value (that can be seen when double clicking on measure) comes from 'Name Column' of the attribute. And the DataType defined is WChar. And I thought that might be the reason of issue. And I changed it to 'Date'. But SSAS does not allow it to change to 'Date' giving error : The 'Date' data type is not allowed for the 'NameColumn' property; 'WChar' should be used.
So, I don't know, what is the puzzle piece that I am missing.
1. Date filter works, group does not work
2. Excel consider it as 'General' string.
3. SSAS does not allow to change 'NameColumn' to Date.
I would like to know the best practice for running analysis service in terms of port usage. Is it better to run on a specific port or have dynamic ports ? We have clustered servers that run default on 2383 but not sure with non clustered what's the best way to get performance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Annie
we are using ASMCD to sync our cubes from a Cubebuild Server to a Reporting Server. We migrated some days ago from 2012 to 2014. We are also using rel. Engine with StoredProcs for calling and executing xp_cmdshell for the Ascmd.Actually all works fine for our smaller cubes. For the bigger one we got the following issue. The cube is being synced but the proc delivers error.In the log we found this entry:

Does Sql server have any in built functions to accomadate this type of analysis.
Is there any information on the net that I could be referred to. I have SQL Server 7.0 Enterprise Edition.

I'm building a cube for sales team , to test out I'm trying to process just one dimension called DimCalandar , when I try to process this dimension I get the following error ,

I want to display my problem. I have a cube that connected to hive DB through views. There are some changes that apply to some related tables on hive. This changes reflect on the cube so i make full process for the cube. I want to process only partitions that have been changed without full process. I detect changes on this table on another table on the local database.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI trying to update my Aggregation Design for a partition using BIDS Helper. The current aggregation design contains about 60 aggregations and the new aggregation I am trying to add is across 5 dimension attributes, the product of which is about 500,000 unique values. The fact table is about 13,000,000 rows.
When I deploy the aggregation and run ProcessIndex, I get the follow error:
