I am trying to test a connection in Reporting Services to an Analysis Services 2000 database. I get a Test Connection Succeeded from one machine and I can't even select the databases in the connection properties on another machine. What can I look at that might be preventing one machine from seeing the Analysis Services Server?
Thanks.
Hi,
I created a shared datasoure to point to a remote AS server, when I clicked "Test Connection" it succeeds.
I used the query builder to create an MDX query by dragging items from the cube, the results appear in the right hand paine when I do this which tells me that I am connecting to the cube successfully. I then finish the wizard which creates my report.
The problem comes when I click "Preview", I get the following error message:
An error occurred during local report processing.
An error occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'SalesMartCube'
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Why would I be able to see the query results in query builder but not when I preview the report?
Thanks,
Lachlan
I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
Let me know if you have any ideas - thanks.
Hello everybody.
I want to perform a Analysis Services Processing Task using a connection manager created from a Analysis Services data source. I create the data source using the Oledb provider for Analysis Services 9.0, and it works fine. Then I create a connection manager using the "New connection from data source" option, and it seems to create it ok.
The problem is that I can't then asign this connection to the Analysis Services processing task. I get the error:
"Connection Manager MyConectionManagerFromDataSource is not a Analysis Services Connection Manager"
However, if I create directly a connection manager using "New Analysis Services Connection" it works fine.
Is it at all possible to create a Analysis services connection from a Data Source to perform a Analysis Services Processing Task?
Thanks in advance,
I use Sql server 2005 standard edition in a 64 bit machine.I tried to create a SSIS project with an Analysis Services Processing Task. In connection Manager, the test connection succeeds but when I try to add the analysis services connection manager it gives following error.-The new connection manager could not be created,Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap). This is a production server and we cannot reproduce this in other servers , so troubleshooting is difficult. This error appears when connecting to other sources like MS excel in Export task of Enteerprise Manager as well. Cubes can be processed manually without any problem.Pls give me a solution.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe find that if we deploy the OLAP database with a different name on the test server, then regardless of how we change the connection string provided to the SSIS package that processes the cube, then the package fails to connect to the database. To clarify:
In development the OLAP database is called MyOlapDB and the source database is called MySqlDB. Both are on the same machine. When the the application is built and released for test, the test team install the databases on a replica of the production environment (i.e. web app on one machine, OLAP DB on another and SQL database on yet another). They also, quite rightly, implement the new test databases so they incorporate the build version number. So, MyOlapDB123 and MySqlDB123 are both from build 123.
This is when the problems start. Regardless of how the connection string is specified in the job that processes the cube, the SSIS integration package fails with the error:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with the ID of 'MyOlapDB' does not exist in the server with the ID of 'OurTestServer', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
We have tried config files and job properties, but neither work. Also, simply attempting to run the package using the DTEXECUI does not work either.
Looking inside the XML of the package, we clearly see the ConnectionManager object which has the original connection string, which is
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyOlapDB;Provider=MSOLAP.3;Integrated Security=SSPI;Impersonation Level=Impersonate;
However, editing the initial catalog here still does not solve the problem. Searching the XML for the string MyOlapDB reveals the OLAP database name in two other places - both within the object data of the two Analysis Services Execute DDL tasks.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without having to hack the XML of the package?
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.
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
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,
How to right choose key column in"Mining Structure" for Microsoft Analysis Services?
I have table:

View 5 Replies View RelatedHello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine
" No specific cube it fails on
" Have created a Dimension only package, same problem
" Changed the maxmemorylimit
" Changed the connections to localhost
" Memory DOES NOT max out on server

Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2
4GM ram, 2GB paging file
SQL Server 2005 + Service Pack 2
Can anyone help?

I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension..
Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT
{ [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] ,
[Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00]
} on COLUMNS,
{
[Measures].[Unique Users],
[Measures].[UU Pct 1],
[Measures].[UU Pct 2],
} ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?

Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you

Hi all,
Till now all the reports for our application was created in Reporting Services 2005 with SQL Server Database(OLTP) stored procedures.
Most of the reports take 10 to 15 report Parameters and all are multi valued.
Now because of the slow response time,we have decided to use OLAP cubes data source. We have created the OLAP cube in Microsoft Analysis Services.
Can someone tell me how to use the report parameters to query the Cube.
Any links,books for reference would be of great help..
Thanks,
Looking forward to your replies
Hi
What is the diff between the above 2?
Thanks.
Setup: Reporting Services and Analysis Services are on the same server. Active Directory User. Default configuration of Reporting Services.
Problem: Reporting Server does not apply Analysis Services Role after login.
Details:
I have created a report that retreives data from the Analysis Service. I created a role and added my user company/myUserName to the role.
On the Reporting Server I set the data source to :
* Credentials supplied by the user running the report
and
Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source
Internally when I connect devsql2005/Reports/ReportName I get the user and password fields. When I fill them in I get the report but I can see all the data while my role was restricted to see only few results.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Any articles or tutorials on how to setup and deploy solutions where Report Server is talking to Analysis Services and NOT Sql Server.
Thank You,
Pavel Hlobil
I have Reporting Services on one server and SQL and Analysis Services on another Server. I can develop a report using Analysis Services as the source from my local machine and it works fine. When I deploy it to the Reporting Services Server, it gives the following error:

Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'.
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I have been working on reporting services fetching data out of Sql Server. I want to know,if there are any sites than have information on working with MS.Services and Analysis Services together.
Analysis Services is something I have no knowledge about.

I have an important question and I've been roaming on MSDN and the internet to find a CLEAR answer. I'm really stuck here.
Is there a way to build a DYNAMIC Report with Visual Studio 2005 (SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio) and having a Cube (SQL Server 2005) as datasource?
I want a report that will act as the interface of the Cube browser in Analysis Services. I don't want to give access to the Cube Browser to users, but I want them to be able to drill-through the cube.
Thanks a lot.

I am new to bi project.my client want user activities to be captured into chart and cube.Into this context i just started reading analysis services.i read some document and implemented one simple analysis service project using adventureworksdw database.
My question is this like i have to work on analysis services using my own db.so directly can i use clint db(ie user table) or i need to write some script to change this db into a db which can produce cube and dimention.
Thanks in advance
I installed MS Analysis Services in my Windows XP (with SP1) desktop. When I try to expand the "+" sign beside the server, I got the following error message: "Unable to connect to the registry on the server, or you are not a member of the OLAP Administrators group on this server."
It is very weird that occasionally I can connect to the server without the above problem. But most of time, I cannot connect to the server and will get the above the error message.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot!
A lot of job postings these days for SQL DBA's list the requirement of Analysis Services. Not having any experience with it I'm wondering what exactly is meant? Of course its going to vary from company to company, but I really have no clue what they mean in general? Is it cube design? MDX query writing? Simply backing up? To be clear, Im asking in regards specificically for a DBA, not a Developer.
TIA, ChrisR
I have been looking at Microsoft Business Intelligence tools. SQL Server 2005. I see great potential with Analysis server, and creating data cubes for reporting. This will offload much processing from my transactional servers.
I just haven't been able to identify the process for automatically updating my cubes over night. The documentation leaves me baffled.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Hi.
I have a problem with the caculation of the dimensions in the Analysis
Services and I need help.
In a certain dimension I make some calculations with the "personalized member formulas". Some cells are modified after this calculations. After this, in another dimension, other calculations are made using again the "personalized member formulas". With this operations some cells that were modified in the previous dimension should be modified again, but they aren't. Is there a way to fix the sequence of the calculation of the dimensions? Do they get calculated at the same time or some get done before others? Once one of this cells are modified using those formulas is it possible to modify them again? In the Hyperion's Essbase software ther is an option to calculate some dimensions before others. Does Analysis Services has that option or something similar?.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much.
Hi, all experts,
I am looking for some high level resource for comparing SQL server 2005 Analysis Services to SAS.
Some thing of a white paper or independent study nature will be grateful.

Does anyone know if the analysis services CD is seperate from the SQL 2k5 enterprise CD's? We are trying to install it on a server and when we go to add / remove programs to check if analysis services is installed it is not listed. To add it it tries to go to the setup process but asks for the analysis services cd..which I cannot find anywhere! Is this a seperate CD install ?
Thanks,
Jon
Weblog -- http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jhermiz
Suppose I have a dimensional data warehouse in a relational SQL Server2K5 database. What's the primary benefit of moving to SSAS? What does it buy me? My understanding is that when creating a SSAS cube, analysis services will slice and dice the data on all dimensions that fact is tied to, and calculate all the possible aggregates and intersections. Is that true? If so, is SSAS really only useful to support heavy ad-hoc reporting needs?
Thanks,
