There is a function called "proactive caching" in Analysis services. It can:
----Automatic synchronization with the relational database
----No more explicit "cube processing
But I cannot have the latest data in the cube even I set the proactive mode as "real time"
Do I need SSIS to process cube in this case?
Following is the procedures I have done:
1. test the data
1.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, ensure no new data are there
1.2 process the the cube and browser the data, ensure new data are there
1.3 delete new data from source database and reprocess the cube, ensure no new data are there
1.4 add new data again
2. configure the proactive setting of cube
2.1 use sql server management studio to open the cube and open the properties window
2.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3. configure the proactive setting of cube
3.1 open the patitions view properties window
3.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3.3 in the notification tab, select "sql server " and specifiy tracking tables to the "fact table", which is a view to get data from real fact table.
4. wait a period of time...
5. test the data again
5.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, but no new data are there (even I selected real-time ROLAP later). I even tried the reconnect and refresh options in the tool bar
So my questions are :
1. Did I do the right thing to achieve the target "Automatic synchronization with the relational database "
2. Can I monitor the procedure of synchronization, such as monitoring the log of processing, viewing the schedule setting and status of the process?
Now I have a different constellation: Integration Services run on one server, in version 2014, the Analysis Services instance to process the cube database on runs on another server, version 2012.I tried several different combinations of SSIS version and Analysis Management Objects version, and got several errors while running the process package (e.g. object reference not set to an instance of an object, cannot find AnalyisServices.dll..)
Is this combination 2014/2012 possible at all?I assume the BIDS version has to be for SQL Server 2014, as I want to run SSIS packages on a 2014 server, is that correct? Does it matter at all, can I also deploy 2012 packages?Which version of Analysis Management Objects do I have to use? I assumed I have to use version 11.0 here, because I want to process a 2012 cube?If it is possible to use the "old" 11.0 version of AMO, do I have to do anything so that it can be found by the SSIS package running on the server (it was built on my local computer, there I have all SQL Server versions from 2005 to 2014 installed in parallel), or do I just have to copy it to the appropriate SQL Server folder?
We are using SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005, SSIS, and SSAS. We have built our Dimensional model in SQL 2005, we have build our packages to complete full refresh of Dimensional model using SSIS. We have built SSAS cube using VS 2005. We built source, data source, cube and dimensions using auto build. We processed cube in VS 2005 by right clicking on solution and click process. Cube was built in Analysis Services. We made some schema changes to model then data changes in SSIS packages. We then pulled up cube in VS 2005 right click on solution and process. Cube is being re-built. After completion we check cube using Proclarity and Excel 2007 and notice the schema changes and data changes did not take. We dropped cube, then deleted data source, dimensions, and cube then re-created data source view and cube auto build then process and now have new schema changes and data changes. Why is process not working to re-build schema and data changes when we have process FULL selected, Changes only. We even tried rebuild, deploy, and process. What is it we are missing or not doing correctly?????????
I am unable to call a package with a cube processing task... it will not execute. I have even tried to simply call a package to process foodmart on my own machine and it will not run. The package when run manually executes fine.
I want to make a package in SSIS for automatic process of my data cube providing some log informations (two INSERT statements to my log table with actual date and result of operation succesful/unsuccesful). I tried to set data source to analysis services, I found my cube but I don't where I can add my cube to project and how can I desingn it. Can anybody tell me how to??? Thanks
I'd like to get simple and clear explanation of the cube in data mining, and 3 notions we encounter a lot : Build, Deploy, and Process.
(1) What is the cube that is created when we deploy a mining solution/project? I wonder what type of cubes they are because although the dialog on deploy/process show that cube, after successful deployment we still don't see the cube in Cubes folder of the project.
(2) Why the SQL Server created that cube? Even though we process only one table and only use case-table (without nested table)
(3) Can someone explain these 3 concepts with CLEAR differences between them? (A) Build (B) Deploy (C) Process
As far as I know, the stages are like that : build, then deploy, then process. Also, it seems to me that those operations do not create objects inside 'Relational' database, but create objects (binary and text, with text files usually in XMLA programming language) in the related project's folders and subfolders. Any good explanation is appreciated.
I want to process my cube using Process Data and Process Index instead of the Process Full. However, after configuring the 2 Analysis Services Processing Tasks (one for process data and the other for process index) and were executed sequentially (process data first then process index), I got this error:
Errors in the metadata manager. The process type specified for the CASES cube is not valid since it is not processed
Have I done the right thing?
The reason why I prefer using the Process Data and then Process Index, it's because it is much faster than the latter.
Our company is in the retail business, thus, the window for processing cubes is very small during Christmas season (only 4 hours each day).
To speed things up, we have partitioned our cube at monthly level so, potentially, 12 threads can be run simultantsly. However, when I looked at DTS, I am not so sure whether or how it can accomplish that task. Has anyone tried this before or is aware of another third party tool can do the trick?
I made a cube with time dimension with hieracly year/month/date/hour the problem is that dimension is growin to fast. In older version of MSSQL (2000) the same dimension doesn't grew so much. Any ideas? The table is big (may be around 1 500 000 rows per month) now it contains around 4 500 000 rows.
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.
I am currently using SSIS ,MS Sql Server 2000 database and 2000 Analysis Services for the cube. I am creating a new table everyday and giving name like day_20080504, day_20080505 etc... So then I go to Analysis Services and process dimensions(incremental) AND Create a new partition using old partition as a template.
My first question is how to create a new partition everday and use old partition as template...(Almost same except database table) My Second question : Can I do this on 2000 Analysis services or Should I convert my cube into SSAS?
I have a scenerio where i need to run the scheduled package for every 10 minutes. Let me give some examples. Say once my ETL process is done, my SS_Batch table gets inserted once. Here i have two columns like SS_Batch_cd and SS_Create_TS respectively. Once the ETL process runs successfully this SS_Batch_CD column will have values as 'C' which means 'Completed'. Similarly when ETL process fails this SS_Batch_CD column will have values as 'F' which means 'Failed'. And Similary when ETL process is in progress this SS_Batch_CD column will have values as 'P' which means it is in 'Progress'. In SS_Create_TS column, it will have date like 2008-04-15'.
Note : This SS_Batch table will get inserted only once when ETL job is over (whether the job is runned sucessfully or not or in Progress) along with the date.
Actually i need to run the package for every 10 minutes because i dont know when the last cube was processed. If i get this last processed cube date then i can check this processed cube date with SS_Create_TS column and SS_Batch_cd in SS_Batch table. Say if Last processed cube date is greater than SS_Create_TS then i can refresh or process the cube. This validation i need to do to achieve my goal.
What are all the control flows should we need to have in SSIS to achieve this scenerio? Please give me briefly to solve this problem.
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
Hi All, I have some clarifications on stopping my package once cube is refreshed or processed.
Below i have given steps for the transformation in my package
Let me give you what are all the dataflow transformations that i had given in my package.
1. Data Flow Task
2. Script Task 1- I have written code for getting the last processed cube (global variable has been declared for Last processed cube date - lastProcessedCube)
3. Script Task 2 - I have written code for SS_Batch table where i can get Create_Ts date that is assigned to another global variable - create_ts.
4. Analysis Processing Task.
In between Script Task 2 and Analysis Processing Task i have given @lastProcessedCube > @create_ts for Expression and Constraint under Precedence Constraint Editor
Actually i need to run package for every 10 minutes which i can do it in Job Schedule and need to refresh or process the cube daily. Is there any way to stop the package once when my cube is processed on that day. Again start the package for the next day.... Is it possible to do this? Please let me know.
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?
how can I connect to a cube (on a SQL 2005 server) and get (fact) data to process with SSIS? I looked at the toolbox but I see no applicable tool. It would be fine if somebody can provide a link to an article or example.
I've been trying to use Analysis Services 2005 Cube as a data source, query it via MDX and then use the data returned elsewhere in SSIS.
However, I've been unable to get this working and can't find any information regarding how this can be done. Surely it should be possible when I can get this working even in Excel?
I've looked in December edition of BOL and no luck - have also sent a feedback to BOL regarding this and have been told that "it should be possible, since there is a way to send SQL queries to AS." However the person I was speaking with knew of no one who had actually tried this scenario and to try posting here.
Any help as to how to get this done would be greatly appreciated.
All I get back is an error message of "Analysis Services Processing Task Error: A Connection cannot be made. Ensure the Server is running" The server is running, I can process the cube by connecting to the AS instance and right-click processing it.
I can process the cube by running the SSIS task inside of SSDT Just when I deploy the SSIS package (in Project mode) and then execute it do I get the error message.
SQL Server, SSAS, and SSIS processes are all running under the same account. SSAS is on a separate server from SSIS and SQL if that matters.
I have an SSAS 2005 database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process full "A" olap database. SSAS SERVER connection string is based on a variable read from XML configuration file.
It works well in BIDS, but when i deployed, the package failed at the step connecting SSAS, the message is "a connection cannot be made, please ensure the server is running"
In the connnecting string, i am using server name like servera.xx.com, if I change it to IP address, it works. if I change it to Localhost(happens to be on the same server), it works.
But I need the server name solution as IP may be changed.
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 would like to have a SSIS package which loops through each xml file (.xml files) in a folder on the network. And then for each file pull out the data and insert into a sql server table. Please kindly guide me through this i.e. What task(s) are required, etc. Thanks
OK, I just want to know if I can use SSIS to open one text file create a table with the info in SQL Server. Then open another fixed length file and insert rows in this table. I want to do this from an application in .Net. for e.g. I have a file that says "Col1 String 20, Col2 String 20,". This will create a table "Table1" in database DB1. then it will open a text file that has 200 rows for Col1 and Col2 with fixed length as 20. The table will be filled with the rows in the second text file. I want to give the user the ability to select the above files and when he clicks submit, the table will be filled. Is it possible?
I am just starting out using CUBEMEMBER/CUBEVALUE formulas in excel linked into a sql olap db - using this method for some custom reports where pivot tables are not suitable. The time dimension values include Months, Quarters and Years and the CUBEMEMBER formulas like
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1].&[1]") work fine - 1st quarter 1st month etc.
Is there a straightforward notation to aggregate months or do I need to use a plus sign to add a number of CUBEMEMBER formulas together.In other words - Is there an easier way of for say jan to july 2015 totals than
I'm working with SSIS and I would add the Integration Service project to the daily build process but I need to know how to generate the <name>.SSISDeploymentManifest other then invoking the devenv.exe.
I have a command to decrypt a file that I can run from the command line and it works beautifully. However, when I stuff it into an execute process task, it errors out every time or does nothing.
Here is the command I can run from the command line:
I've pointed the execute process task object to the gpg.exe executable on my system and am stuffing the remainder in the arguments line. I have also tried changing around all the timeout settings and sucess values. I have found I can change the success value to 2 and it will show up as being green when complete, but the file doesn't decrypt. It just in turn will throw an error on the next piece because the required file is not there.
I will probably end up writing a script to get this to work and use a script task but I really want to know why this will not work.
Anyone seen this SSIS error when importing data? I have a 64bit quad processor with 8gb and am importing from Oracle 9 using 32bit DTExec.exe from the command line.

I have a ETL ( SSIS ) Process in which i am loading around 150 tables in each run. ( Truncate and Insert ). I have four packages each from different sources. ( Each package loads different tables and different numbers )These are run on weekly basis one after the other. Each package is taking around 60 to 90 minutes each. Now i want to track the progress of the ETL on my front End application.
We want this in two ways.
First Way : I need to show the user how much percent of ETL Process is completed
Second Way : I need to show the No of tables completed and how many rows have been completed in the ongoing table ( which is in process )
