I'm new to datamining and have gather some knowledge by following the tutorial that comes with sql server 2005.
I have following created a association mining model and tested it by using various DMX queries. I works quite satisfactory.
But I would like to use this mining model on a cube. Ie a calculated measure that would show top 1 recommendation for my customer portfolio.
My knowlede reaches to the extent that you need to feed data by using the OpenQuery or OpenRowset queries.
I would like to "stick" my model to the cube on some way and the extract values in the same manner as filtering criterias in stead of manually generating DMX queries.
I have googled a bit and searched MSDN without luck. Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong.
What I can do for obtain the information of a cube OLAP in Analysis Services and obtain in Excel, they are in different machine, The Excel do not have Analysis Service.
I am having a problem creating an Integration Services package which executes an MDX query and place the results in a local DB.
I am using an OLE connection to connect to cube. However when I run the package I get the following error ....
[OLE DB Source [175]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid. AND [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "OLE DB Source" (175) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
Is it possible to use a DMX query as an action in an OLAP cube? So when someone clicked on a product when browsing the cube, it called my DMX query with a product parameter, and the query would return a listing of associated products? I'm not asking how to do the query, I already have that, but just wondering if it's possible to even do that. Thanks!
Is there a way to create an ETL package that gets data from a flat file, puts it in a fact table and then it creates a cube based on the data without user intervention? So the package will generate automatically a cube that can be used in SSAS?
Can the reporing services read the cube definitions (backcolor,forecolor etc.)? the MDX contanins the " CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMATTED_VALUE, CELL_ORDINAL, FORE_COLOR, BACK_COLOR, FONT_FLAGS " clause.
Does anyone know an easy way to automatically (ie each morning) refresh a cube without having to log in to the OLAP manager and use the interface? Ideally I want to be able to schedule a job to run each morning so that the Sales & Marketing people arrive to fresh data in their Excel 2000 Pivot tables that are connected to the cube.
Any suggestions gratefully received. Regards, John Thorpe
I'm looking for a possiblity to schedule the processing of a ms olap services cube in a SQL Server Agent job. Has anyone expericiences with that? Are there any alternatives for scheduling the processing?
hello, Iam trying to build OLAP cubes in MS SQL Server 2000.But all the tutorials/docs mention about fact tables & dimensions. Can I get some good tutorials on how to create fact tables to build OLAP cube ? Also, which OLEDB provider to be used for MS SQL Server while creating OLAP Datasource ?
Thanks in advance & wishing u a prosperous new year too.
Lets say i have one analysis server project on server A . I have made an excel sheet on desktop B in which i have inserted a pivot table which datasource is Server A's cube . I then have save this worksheet as webpage and save it on Server A. When i run this webpage on server A its working fine with but as soon as when i run this webpage on other PC it give me the error
"The query could not be processed:
The data provider didn't supply any further error information."
what could be the reason .. Please help me i am going mad....
I have created a crystal report connecting an OLAP cube .But once itry to view a report it took around 15 minutes and finaly gave anerror like "cannot retrieve data from cube".I want to know why it isand how can i create a crystal report for OLAP CUB.
We have a MS-OLAP cube that has about 11 partitions and I have created a prototype package which processes these partitions conditionally based on expressions that are fed values from a SQL Server control table. It appears that one or more of the partitions seem to fail due to the fact that all of the data for the various partitions come from the same huge fact table. Is there a way to control the level of concurrency within the package itself? If not, I am thinking I should move some of the partitions to process based on other partitions completing their process successfully. Appreciate any help.
I am trying to log the processing time details so that we can identify bottlenecks. My SSIS package has a bunch of OLAP processing tasks. In the Event Handler (onPreExecute and onPostExecute events), I am trying to capture the start and end time for each OLAP processing task by using an "Execute SQL task". In the event handler, I have a conditional expression that checks the following:
@SourceName != @[User::Expression1]
where Expression1 is a variable that contains the value of "Execute SQL Task". This expression I thought would be true only for OLAP processing tasks which btw never fire the OnPreExecute or OnPostExecute events. What am I doing wrong?
I want to connect through a pivot table in excel to an OLAP cube I created in SSAS but it gives connection error. But I can connect to tables, databases in SSMS through pivot tables in excel. Any ideas what might be the problem? Some settings maybe etc
Hi.The situation is:I'm showing OLAP Cube in OWC11. One of Parent-Child dimmensions (for example employees(menager->menager2->employee)) is viewed as Rows. Employees have attribute "City" (where they live). City can be selected from other dimmension. There are so meny of Employees that I have to hide empty rows. The problem is: When I select City in my filter dimmension, Parent members of Employees dimmension from other Cities are hiden even if their leaf members are from selected City. What Can I do to wiew all members of Employee dimmension who are friom selected City no mater in which level they are?? Any Ideas? I'm using Analysis Servicess 2000 SP3. Office web components are docked in web application so I can't programm it. MS Analysis Menager is handling this without problem (showing leaf members next to its parent even if parent is blank). This is realy urgent! Please help! BTW Sorry for my English ;)
I am trying to access Cube through SSIS and have been unable to set SSIS package with the work around provided here (https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=219068). On pasting the MDX query using the openrowset command on the OLEDB source editor, I get a pop up window with error 0x08000405 and the message that says 'syntax used for openrowset is incorrect'
I also tried running this on SQL Management studio but, get the following error.
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "An error was encountered in the transport layer.". OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The peer prematurely closed the connection.". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)".
The server where the cube resides is on 64bit machine and I have 32-bit..could this be the reason for the issue?
I found this article on microsoft support website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947512 ) which describes the possible symptoms and causes for connectivity issues But, couldn't find a work around for it.
Here is the syntax of the query I am using in SSIS and query analyser
1. SQL Server Data Warehouse 2. OLAP CUBE in Analysis Services
My question is - If my SQL Server Data Warehouse is changed (Having Append Data) - Is that My OLAP Cube will have the Append Data?
It's possible, my OLAP Cube always having Append Data if my Data Warehouse is changed? If yes, how to do it without re-deploy and re-process my Analysis Services Project.
It runs SSIS packages, stored procedures fine. But when it comes to execute a command, reprocessing a Analysis Services cube it fails, saying the cube either not exists or the account has no rights. The cube does exist. If it's the account, how can I choose a different one or permit the one which is being used to execute reprocessing?

Please tell me how to create Data Source and Data Source View in Report Model Project for OLAP Cube.Whats the provider to use while creating Data Source in Report Model Project to make connection to OLAP Cube.
I am using a 2005 SSAS cube as a datasource for 2005 SSRS report with multivalue parameters. I use the design mode query builder to generate my MDX. I then add my parameter to my parameter field in the filters section. The name and value of the parameter in the dataset editor is as follows:
I then proceed to layout mode and then open up report parameters. I then check the multivalue box and select non-queried available values. I choose non-queried radio button because I want my asp page to be passing in the parameters, not a dropdown list.
The problem is that when I try and preview the report and I type in just one parameter I get the following: "Query (1, 437) The restrictions imposed by the CONTRAINED flag in the STROSET function were violoated"
After looking through a couple of forums I found that adding the following Parameter value in the data tab and dataset editor would help me out a bit: "[Facility].[Facility Number].&["+Parameters!FacilityFacilityNumber.Value+"]"
Ok so now (in layout mode) I type in one parameter and I get a report back, BUT when I try to type in a second or more parameter I get the same error as before: "Query (1, 437) The restrictions imposed by the CONTRAINED flag in the STROSET function were violoated"
Here is the MDX query that I am using for this report:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Claim Count], [Measures].[Item Reasons Count], [Measures].[Charged Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Facility].[Facility Number].[Facility Number].ALLMEMBERS * [Claim Status Codes].[CLaim Status Code].[CLaim Status Code].ALLMEMBERS * [Claim Status Codes].[Claim Status Description].[Claim Status Description].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@FacilityFacilityNumber, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Claims Remittance]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Please, if anybody know's what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it.......I have to have my report accept non-queried multivalued parameters. Thanks
We are getting symptoms of a 30 second timeout irrespective of what we do, but only on certain machines. Can anyone shed any light on how the connection timeout can be set, as there seems to be a factor overiding any settings we set?
We are working in Excel (2003) connecting to an Analysis Services 2005 cube through a website https://Datasource connection. When we edit the connection string that the file is using (either by forcing use of an exterior .ODC file and editing the settings in there, or by converting the xls spreadsheet into an xml spreadsheet and manually editing the connection string in there) we get no joy: after 30 seconds the error appears:
"Either a connection cannot be made to the [my server address], or Analysis services is not running on the computer specified".
This error is itself rubbish: If a smaller query (one that takes < 30 seconds) is run in the same Excel file and Pivot Table, it connects fine. What really doesn't make sense is that the exact same file works on some machines and not others. These machines are all inside the same network (and the machines that work have been proven to work on a number of other networks). What's more there is no pattern to the machine capabilities - some newer / faster machines get the error. These machines (that work and do not) have excel 2003 SP3. (Another of the ones that works has Excel 2007).
Changing the connection string to include "Timeout=300" or "Connect Timeout=300" makes no difference, and "Command Timeout" causes a different error so that it wont even attempt to run the query (as opposed to collapsing after 30 seconds of normal progress). Similarly in the .ODV the tags <ODC:CommandTimeout>, <CommandTimeout>, <ODC:Connect Timeout>, <ODC:Command Timeout>, <meta name=CommandTimeout content=1000> etc. have no effect (the file still gets the 30 seconds error rather than just giving up so no way of working out correct syntax)
The only pattern we can see, and we can't fix this, is that the machines that work have Retail versions of excel, and the ones that do not have corporately licensed versions of excel. We cannot see any difference between them in the Help >Abouts, but thought it might be worth mentioning.
Any help would be fantastically appreciated, we are out of ideas. Thanks kindly
Errors and Warnings from Response Internal error: The operation terminated unsuccessfully. The following system error occurred: Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'DB LAB2', Name of 'DB LAB2'.
I have created database and OLAP cube in Analysis services using SSAS.In SSAS I have used a datasource which is using SQL tables to populate OLAP cube.Now when I added some more data to my SQL tables and trying to deploy cube,the newly added is not getting populated in the cube.So i want run SSIS package which will import data from SQL tables to this OLAP cube.
Can you please help me how to write this SSIS package to import data from SQL tables to OLAP cube.(Very urgent issue)
I'm trying to get empty cells from an OLAP cube to display in a report designed using the Report Builder. Of the three report types, only the Table report shows the empty cells. Is there any option/setting that I need to enable to get this to work for the Matrix or Chart reports? Something like the "Show Empty Cells" option that is available in the pivot table used by BI Dev Studio?
Our OLAP environment involves an ETL/Data Warehouse/Data Mart server and a cube publisher server. We would like to learn how to automate the Archival/Restore of OLAP databases. We are currently doing it manually though OLAP Manager. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. James.
