But thing is everyday the backup file is getting created with the same name "SalesAnalysis.abf", and it is overwriting the previous days file.
So I want to create a Backup file with Timestamp in its name.
I hope some of you can point me in the right direction. I am new to all this and working on a project using Cubes.
The cubes need to be generated in a dynamic fashion as the contents (that means field) in the fact tables change change every quarter and are based off of a external application.
The base strucutre stays the same though. So we thought we would export the XMLA representation of the cube and then munge (word for alter) the data in the XMLA file and send it someplace to create the new cube on a SQL 2005 server. This seemed easy enough but I have found no real information on how to run some piece of code that would create the cube based on this XMLA code.
On another note is there a parsing object for the XMLA so i dont have to right one from scratch?
We want to synchronize one database in two instances of Analysis Services. We are using XMLA synchronize command.Our script is correct.
Account, which is executing the script has server role in source SSAS. I cannot find anywhere what other permissions must have the user which is executing the script and what permissions must have SSAS account(on the destination) in source server and database.
We are in a similar situation at my client... we wish to issue the CREATE and DELETE XMLA scripts for a specific cube via SSIS, however are unsure as to the control object to use...
More info regarding our processes:
OUR SSIS flow is designed to: 1.) backup an existing cube 2.) create a new cube leaving the original in place for users to use while the new one is building 3.) once the newly built cube has been validated, drop the orignal cube, and rename the newly built cube back to the original cube's name
We used DDL code files (DDL Task Objects within SSIS) which contain the XMLA query code for each CREATE, DELETE, ALTER statements used for each specific task:
The flow: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.) BACKUP Original_Cube 2.) CREATE New_Cube 3.) PROCESS New Cube 4.) DELETE Original Cube 5.) ALTER New_Cube to Original Cube ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to execute each DDL Task code set for a specific task, it is necessary to specify a connection to a given catalogue... however, in our case, and in the general case of using CREATE/DELETE/ALTER ddls, a given database & catalogue may or may not always be available...
it would be ideal for there to be a way to issue an XMLA script to CREATE a DUMMY CUBE (outline and model only) for all other DDLs to use as a basis (at the beginning of our SSIS Flow), and then issue another XMLA script to DELETE the DUMMY cube when it is no longer needed (at the end of our SSIS Flow)
Currently, the flow does work fine, however, the DUMMY CUBE must exist on the Server in order to provide a connection for each DDL Task... at this point, the creation of this DUMMY CUBE has to be a manual process, we are looking to automate this....
the "Script Task" object bumps you into a VB window asking you to provide a VB script... is there a way to have VB issue an XMLA command...? Or, is there an easier way around this...?
I have a very simple SSIS package with one connection and one Execute SQL Task.
The connection is a Native OLE DB for Analysis Services 9.0
The execute SQL task fires off this XMLA query created through the syncronize database wizard from MSAS2005.
All I want to do is dynmaicaly replace the Source on the connection String in this script to a local variable. I have tried the @variable and the ? syntax as I found some good info in BOL. However neither of these work.
I supposed I could use scripting to handle this but I didn't want to add that layer and feel that SSIS should be able to handle this.
Here is the raw script which works fine withing SSIS:
I am working on SSAS project and now i am looking for a way to generate some documentation from XMLA code ?I have seen that it's possible to do it with XML, so i think it is possible too in XMLA !
I am a R data miner who is new to SQL and SSIS and would appreciate any help.
I wanted to automate the process of creating and processing decision tree models for every county in the Country. I wanted to use the foreach loop for iterate through all the counties. I wanted the foreach enumerator to be used by the XMLA code that creates the model so it would append it to the name of the model and i would get a different model for every county. I am not sure how to have the XMLA code accept foreach loop enumerator.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you could direct me to a previously done example that would greatly benefit me.
I am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.
I am trying to schedule the below XMLA query in Sql server agent Job and schedule it to run every 15mins or even less (if possible). However it seems to be not working and keep throwing all sorts of errors.
DECLARE @LastMeasureId AS INT, @myXMLA nvarchar(max) SELECT @LastMeasureId = "[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]" FROM OpenRowset( 'MSOLAP', 'DATA SOURCE=L68F728326574; Initial Catalog=GMDR;', 'SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]} ON COLUMNS FROM [GMDR]');
-- Get the new Customer Identifier, return as OUTPUT param SELECT @NoteID = @@IDENTITY
-- Insert new notes for all the users that the note pertains to, in this case this will be by the assigned -- users. IF @FK_UserIDList IS NOT NULL EXECUTE spInsertNotesByAssignedUsers @NoteID, @FK_UserIDList
-- Insert New Address record -- Retrieve Address reference into @AddressId -- EXEC spInsertForUserNote -- @FK_UserID, --@NoteID, -- @BeenRead -- @Fax, -- @PKId, -- @AddressId OUTPUT
COMMIT TRANSACTION

ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1 FROM testsupplierSCNCR I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page. Entered some test variables, everything works as it should do. Try to get it to show in a datagrid on a webpage - nothing. No data shows.

However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

We have a issue with a MDS server that have been over us for a couple of days, the original error msg from SQL Server Engine is the one "The query processor could not produce a query plan" but the ones we get on the Excel-Addin are "Sequece contains no elements" or "The value cannot be null" T
• Using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3393.0 (X64) for 6months on this server without issues
• Two weeks ago we started to have 2 errors: "Sequence Contains No Elements" | "The Value Cannot Be Null"
• We are using the last version of Excel Add-in
• We try to reinstall the MDS feature
• If I backup/restore MDS database to other server it works
• We updated to SQL 2012 SP2 + CU4 but the error persisted ...
Looking at the MDSTraceLog we are routed to the this msg

how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!! -- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on go if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1 if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name FROM... WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
