Create && Filter AS2005 Local Cube Programmatically
Mar 12, 2008
Although I can create the local cube, the cube that is created is very large because it brings over all accounts for the employee. In AS2K, it filtered automatically and only returned accounts that had revenue, which is what I'm trying to do using AS2005. I've read some of the responses about using XMLA and AMO, but I am not sure how to use these within the VS2005 windows application that I use to create and distribute the local cubes. Does anyone have a good example of how to use XMLA, AMO or anything else that would allow me to programmatically create and filter offline cubes using C#?
For instance, this code DOES create an empty cube. But how would I go about getting data into this cube?
Server server = new Server();
server.Connect(@"Data Source=c:MyLocalCube.cub");
server.Disconnect();

Greetings,
Here's what I need to do. I need to programmatically create offline cubes for multiple customers. Using VS2005 (C#) and SQL Server 2000, I am able to do this using the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command. However, I need to create cubes from SQL Server 2005 as we have upgraded and the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command does not work as it did before. I've search and found examples using AMO, but they create a server cube. I already have a server cube.
I need to be able to create filtered offline cubes from the existing server cube. I've also read much on XMLA, but that doesn't do it for me either. The code below creates an empty offline cube. However, is there a way to use this to create a cube with data?
I am creating this in a windows application.
Server server = new Server();
server.Connect(@"Data Source=C:MyLocalCube.cub");
server.Disconnect();
Can anyone help? This is driving me nuts!

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a RS report that will use an AS2005 cube as a datasource. I did try to use the query wizard from reporting services to build the mdx statement but I'm having a hard time with it... How could I use the following MDX statement in a reporting services report?? Do you have to use the query builder?
Code Snippet
WITH SET [Last 5 Months] AS
{TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(1),
TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(2),
TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(3),
TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(4),
TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(5)}
MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].[AVG 5 months] AS
AVG([Last 5 Months])
MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].[Last Mth Var.] AS
(TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(1) - AVG([Last 5 Months]))
MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].[YTD] AS
AGGREGATE(YTD(TAIL( NONEMPTY( {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].MEMBERS}, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ) ,1).ITEM(0).LAG(1)))
SELECT
{[Last 5 Months],[AVG 5 Months],[Last Mth Var.],[YTD]} ON COLUMNS,
NONEMPTY([Product].[Category].Members) ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
It's probably very simple to acheive but for some reason I can't get this to work properly...
I did a lot of RS against relational DB but reporting out of a cube is new to me.
TIA,
Eric

I have a big problem to solve:
I use MsSqlServer 2000, Analysis service. I have cubes and virtual cubes. I have a dimension of consult, they have a hierarchy that change every month. for example: In june the consult "John" is in D11, in September he is on D14,...
Hierarchie: D10 -> D11, D12, D13 - > C1, C2..
For this reason when i want analysis The consult John in a year(12 months) my result is wrong. With this changes in the hierarchie my analysis become wrong!
I thought in the end of every month store the cube in a local cube, like a picture of every consult, with his sales e others measures. With this i can analysis the consult in a specific month rightly, but i need the anlysis in a year. And in a year i would have 12 local cubes, then i could acess them and do a right analysis. How could i access 12 local cubes? Can i create a virtual cube with this 12 local cubes? Is there another solution for this problem?
Thanks,

Hi:
I have an ASP.NET web application with a pivot table OWC that reads data from a local cube.
Everything works fine when I run it locally but when I run it on machine client the pivot
table Can not open cube 'c:cube.cub'.
i have installed in the client the Version 6.0 of the Microsoft XML library (MSXML, Version
6.0) and Analysis Services 9.0 OLE DB Provider but it's not possible open cube.
i am creating the local cube with SQL Server 2005 SP2, with the Creat Global Cube Command.
maybe is it a problem ?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

:eek:
I want to use the Office Web Components (v10) PivotTable embedded in a web page. The examples and tutorials I've been able to find on MSDN all use the same architecture: The initial pivottable configuration is created by instantiating the object server-side and programmatically configuring it. The XMLDATA property is then read and sent to the client. At the client, script sets the XMLDATA property. So far so good, all makes sense. Then my problem: The PivotTable is then connected to Analysis Server using an http connection string (through IIS). As my users do not have database accounts, only application accounts, I cannot allow database connection information on the client. Trouble is, the PivotTable generates MDX queries when a user reconfigures the view, and there are no hooks (events or other means) to programmatically obtain the generated MDX query - a fact that is explicitly confirmed in MSDN documentation.
This clearly means that the PT must be connected directly to it's data source. So I thought I could just create a local MOLAP cube file and download it to the client (permissible as it runs as a trusted application). But nowhere can I find any example or documention on how to do this.
This is driving me slightly insane and I have little hair left now; if anyone knows how to do it or where to find proper PivotTable documentation (rather than a collection of examples that do something else from what I need to do!) then help is greatly :p appreciated!

We are using a SSAS Server in order to analyse financial data. To create forecast scenarios, we would like to use the "what-if-analysis"-feature of Excel. With this feature, data that was changed in Excel can be written back into the cube.
There are several data analyists who should be able to create scenarios on their own, that's why, each of them gets his own offline cube (a .cub file that is stored in the file system) whose data is extracted from the SSAS Server.
Unfortunately, we found no way to write back data in these offline cubes. Due to the error message, Excel failed to establish a connection to the external data source. Is there a way to writeback data to a local cube?

Hi all,
I need to be able to create a DSN through code that connects to SQL Server using SQL Native Client. I have found the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184608/. This demonstrates most of what I need, but it does not show how to set the username and password, which is something that I need to do.
Any ideas how I can do this?

Hello,
What we'd like to do is programmatically generate and maintain a report model based on how the individual install is configured. I've found some documentation that makes me believe this is possible, but I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction. The ReportingServices2005 class has several model related methods (CreateModel) and I found the .xsd for the semantic model XML file
(http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling/SemanticModeling.xsd),
but no real documentation on how to put together a Report Model document from scratch. Looking at the files generated from BIDS is somewhat overwhelming and I have no idea where I'd pull most of the information.
Finally, I want to create Report Model(.smdl) file without Report Model Designer.
I want to Implement CreateModel Method to create new model, any source code sample..??
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I am working on modifying a VB6 app that dynamically creates DTS packages to copy data from one database to another depending on the selections made in UI. The project currently uses DTSPackage object library and DTSDataDump Scripting object library.
We are in the process of upgrading the server to SQL 2005. I am exploring the possibility of replacing code that generates DTS packages on the fly with SSIS packages.
Is it feasible to do this in VB6 ? I have referred to similar posts which focus mainly on VB.NET or C#.
Any help with white paper or sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am creating a web application that uses a using a web service to get data for my reports. Since the webservice only accepts 1 parameter called "sql" (the sql select statement), I am using the report's query string to get the data.
Here is the data source and dataset info I am using:
DataSource
Name: WebService
Type: XML
Connection string: http://localhost/myWeb/myWebService.asmx
Credentials: No credentials
DataSet
Query tab:
Name: WebService
Data source: WebService
Command type: Text
Query String: <Query><SoapAction>......</SoapAction></Query>
Here is a sample of the <Query> string that I use when I first build the report:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/GetDataset</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/" Name="GetDataset">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="sql" Type="String">
<DefaultValue>Select * From Customers</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetDatasetResponse{}/GetDatasetResult{}/diffgram{}/NewDataSet{}/Results</ElementPath>
</Query>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the user selects a report in the web application, they are prompted for information about the sql statement, and then I can rebuild the <Query> xml fragment, substituting the new sql statemet for the default one. for example, the statement "Select * From Reports" would be replaced with "Select * From Customers where LN = 'Smith'".
Then I want to attach that new <Query> statement to the report and run it. How can I set this information in the report? I can't find anything that talks about it, but there must be some way!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
I'm working on custom report manager. It manages "report entities" and
"report templates" (actually, RDLs uploaded on the server) and stores
one-to-many relation between them. The task is to store
"MasterEntityID" report parameter in every RDL and keep it up in actual
state whether RDL is being assigned to another entity or new RDL is
being uploaded and assigned. I've covered the first issue with
SetReportParameters() web method, but how should I deal with the second
one? Uploaded RDL may be short of the param, so I have to add it
programmatically while uploading.
Thanks,
Anatoly

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"
conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."
' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.
Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"
' Create the design-time instance of the source.
Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate
srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.
srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)
srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()
srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()

Hi,
To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -
exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
TIA,
Sam.

Hello,
does anyone know of a good example of how to programmatically add a Data Conversion Transformation to a package? I have come so far that I have the component in my dataflow task, but I don't know how to set the properties of it. That is, how to determine the columns that should be converted and to what data type etc.
I (as far as I understand) need a data conversion transformation since I have not managed to create (via the designer) a package that reads data from an AS400 via DB2OLEDB and stores it in a SQL Server 2005 Database. I keep getting the error "string cannot be converted from unicode to non-unicode" (or something like that) and by searching this forum I learned that the data conversion component might do the trick.
I added this conversion to a manually designed package and it solved the error, but I don't know how to re-create this package programmatically. I would really appreciate some help on this.
Also, if someone has managed to import data from AS400 to SQL server 2005 via OLEDB and NOT got the string conversion error, please let me know!
Regards,
Annika

I need to programmatically create a SQL 2005 maintenance plan at hundreds of customer sites. Each plan will be a little different because of path names, database names, etc., so I can't use one canned plan without modifications. I know that SQL 2005 maintenance plans are XML packages and SQL jobs, so scripting isn't an option. I've seen mention of using the .Net API to create the plans, but I can't find any examples. SMO doesn't seem to have any objects for managing maintenance plans. Can someone point me to an example of using the API to perform this task?
Thanks,
