Hi,
I have used MIcrosoft Sql Server 2000 for a while, namely analysis services. What I want to know is if Sql Server Express Edition 2008 has also tools to handle with datawarehouses, olap and data mining, that is, which are the limitations of SQLServer 2008 Express Edition, they are related with that tools?
if it provides that tools, do you know good documentation related with these issues?? And books??
Thanx for your help

I have noticed that analysis services has stopped on two instance on my server.For the first instance, I go to configuration manager and try to start the service I get the standard service did not respond in a timely fashion error, if I change the account that runs it from the domain user account to local system it starts up fine, but try changing it back I get the following WMI error: The server threw an exception. [0x80010105], I see this error in google but it always refers to the agent and not analysis services. In the application log, I see the following error...The service cannot be started: Message-Handling subsystem: The message manager for the defaul locale cannot be found. The locale will be changed to US English. File system error: The following error occurred during a file operation: Access is denied. But access denited to what? The services had been up and running for a while and nothing on the server has changed.
As on the second instance gives me the following error in the application log...The file <path>CryptKey.bin' could nor be opened. Please check the file for permissions or see if other applications locked it.
Then further up...The service cannot be started: Message-Handling subsystem: The message manager for the defaul locale cannot be found. The locale will be changed to US English. File system error: The following error occurred while opening the file <path>CryptKey.bin.
I should say the <path> part is me, saving typing not part of the error. And again, if I change the account running the service to local system if all changes and starts fine, but if I try to change it back I get WMI Error: The process terminated unexpectedly [0x8007042b]. If I hit 'apply' a second time I get another WMI Error, except this time it says 'The server threw an exception. [0x80010105].
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 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.
Hi all,
Can I use C# express edition 2008 with Reporting Services.
and i add 2008 report viewer component in my tool box list
while viewing the report in my solution ...i was getting the error as given below..
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace

Is there a way that I could work around this?

Hello!
Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7.
I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for help,
Jan
There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?

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.
Downloading and installing VS 2008 Express also created a Miscrosoft SQL Server folder. How do I install the SQL Server 2005 Express?The following is what I found from the HELP menu bar of the VS 2008 Express. Where can I find the sqlexpr.exe?
TIA,Jeffrey
To install SQL Server Express To begin installation, double-click sqlexpr.exe. Note: SQL Server Express is available as a self-extracting executable file (sqlexpr.exe) from both the Visual Studio 2005 CD and the SQL Server Express Web site. SQLEXPR.EXE installs on x86-based computers and to the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64). For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements (SQL Server Express)
I installed VS 2008 Express with an option to download SQL Server 2005 Express. I noticed there is a '90' folder under my Microsoft SQL Server folder. I assumed this the folder for SQL Server 2005 Express.
How do I set up my SQL Server2005 Express, so that I can use some sample databases for my VS 2008 Express? Any difference for SQL Server 2005 Express between VS 2008 Expressdownload and SQL Server 2005 Express download?
TIA,Jeffrey
Hi
What is the diff between the above 2?
Thanks.
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?

Hi
I installed Analysis Services yesterday and was building some test cubes from our receipts data, today, when I tried opening my cubes, it appears that my Analysis Server (on local machine - laptop) is not available giving the error message of :
"Unable to connect to the registry on the server FJKILKEN-MOBL, or you are not a member of the OLAP Administrators group on this server"
I have shut-down/restarted, and then checked that all appropriate services (SQL server, OLAP server etc) are running which they are any idea on what the issue could be?
Thanks a lot

what is SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 ??
thank you
Hi,
I am able to archive the Analysis Services db's using the msmdarch on one server but not the other server. (It is working in the Test environment but not the Production environment.) Here are the details:
Both servers are SQL Server 2000 sp1.
I compared sp_configure and both servers have the same settings.
The Production server is clustered and the Test Server is not clustered.
I can archive in TEST using the following:
- From Analysis Manager
- Using the msmdarch command from a command prompt
- From a scheduled job using the "Operating System Command" Type from a job step entering the msmdarch command in the Command box.
- Using the msmdarch command with xp_cmdshell within Query Analyzer and from a Stored Procedure.
I can archive in PRODUCTION only using:
- From Analysis Manager
- Using the msmdarch command from a command prompt
** It does not work from a job or from Query Analyzer
I have checked the permissions of the SQL Server Agent account on both servers and they are identical with sa rights and a member of the OLAP Administrators group.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this?
Thank You
Michael
Hi,
When I try to register a server in Analysis Services I get a error saying 'Automation error' and I also get a message saying Unable to open Registry Key 'SOFTWAREMICROSOFTOLAP ServerOLAP Manager'
Can someone please help.
Hmm.. where to start? Well, I have installed proj serv 2007 and have it up and running fine. I was recently asked to get the data analysis portion of the proj server working. After much digging for some guides, I found a few helpful and got sql analysis server installed with everything else it need to operate. (as far as I know). One of the guides that I have encountered and using asks me to use sql studio management to access the analysis server. Problem is, I dont have the option to choose a server type. (Its greyed out) Which only has the option for "Database Engine". Furthermore, I cannont complete the steps required without this option. Could someone please, please, point me in the right direction and possibly tell me what Ive done wrong. Project server 2007 documentation is horrible. Just to be able to use the server has been a process.

Hi to all
I have a complex scenario , so first I want to ask out the feasibility of it . I think its better if I state the scenario and some one on this forum reply to it , I need to build an application (e.g credit card application , Loan Application etc ) that requires some approval from expert , what I firstly want is that I apply datamining on this data so that next time when I enter the data the result (approval or reject ) should be given by datamining tool , this I gather is poosible by using Analysis Services in SQL 2005 , but I also want the bases of that decision ( I mean the rules/some thing else that the Datamining created agaisnt the data entered ) , So can any one do any help on this , you can also reach me at razi_rais@yahoo.com . its preety much urgent so your prompt response is higly appreciated.

What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.
Is it possible to have Analysis Services in both modes or are they mutually exclusive?I have a machine setup with Multidimensional AS and would like to know if it's possible to add a Service in Tabular mode.

Hey,
I have a 3 node cluster running 6 instances of SQL Server, I want to install Analysis Services along side of one of the SQL 2005 instances. Thus one of the cluster instances would host SQL Server DB, Analysis Services and SQL Agent. Is this possible or does Analysis Services need it's own Cluster Instance.
Thanks!
I was wondering if this is normal. I am creating a website in VS 2008. I created a SQL db and am using SQL server express.
I can go into SQL server managment studio express and open the DB when I start my PC. I can still access the DB when I start VS 2008 and my project but when I run the project I can not access the DB any longer even when the project is not longer running and I'm in design mode. Even if I close VS 2008 I still cannot access DB through SQL server managment. The only way I can access the DB again is if I restart my PC.
Is this normal?
I am running Vista Ultimate.
Thanks,

I am quite curious about SQL Server 2005 Express, since I am conducting an XQuery implementation survey for my thesis study.
Yet I still got some questions and may need your help:
1. Does SQL Server 2005 Express support XQuery static type analysis (from http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-semantics/)?
2. If so, since the W3C standard is still changing, how do you keep up
with the change efficiently?
Your help will be appreciated.
Happy New Year and Thank you,
