Hi,
Can anybody tell me How to access Analysis Service 2005 cubes through normal Stored Procedure.
Basically can write a stored procedure that we normally write in database service and use it access the Analysis Service 2005 cubes.
Is it possible
Regards,

I have two cube and i would like to get data from both cube and combine the results from both cubes to get final result to display result in SSRS reports like we can do in Stored procedure using temporary tables/Joins.Is there any way in SSAS to combine the data from multiple cubes? Data needs to be retrieved from the cubes based on the user inputs.

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.
Hi there
I have two machines one 64bit machine with SQl 2005 on it and another 32 bit machine which I use as my web server both running win2003. I have followed the knowledgebase article from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpasws.mspx) and also researched postings on this site but can't seem to access the cubes remotely. I have changed to msmdpump.ini file to have the <ServerName>mycomputername</ServerName> which points to the SQL box.
I can connect to the cubes from the 32 bit machine using somethign like crystal reports and connecting directly to the server name but can't connect to https://localhost/olap/msmdpump.dll I get an error about could not connect to the computer name or the computer is not runing analysis services.
Any ideas?

I need to create a stored procedure (SQL 2005). I did it in C# (Visual Studio). The .dll file (inside) uses web services of Project Server 2007 (I just need to log on, create a project and log out). I prepared 2 files (exactly the same code): dll an exe. the .exe works fine. the problem is with .dll file (stored procedure in SQL)...
by the way: I created serialization file with sgen tool.
the problems start when I am trying to register these 2 .dlls in SQL server. I can do that in unsafe mode only. when I am trying to register them in externall access (normal dll) and safe mode (serialization .dll) I am getting errors:
CREATE ASSEMBLY failed because method "add_QueueCheckInProjectCompleted" on type "ConsoleApplication11.ProjectWebSvc.Project" in external_access assembly "ConsoleApplication11" has a synchronized attribute. Explicit synchronization is not allowed in external_access assemblies
thus I did it in unsafe mode (both of them). than I created the procedure.
Now, I tried to call that procedure. I am getting error:
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'Main':
System.Net.WebException: The request failed with the error message:
--

at ConsoleApplication11.Program.Main()
That means "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". the problem occurs when calling QueueCreateProject method
I dont understand that error. I wrote the same code for .dll and .exe. the .exe file is working ok (no errors) but .dll (as a stored procedure) shows this error
my code in C#:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Net;
using PSLibrary = Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library;
namespace ConsoleApplication11

public static void Main()
{
const string LOGINWINDOWS = "_vti_bin/PSI/LoginWindows.asmx";
string baseUrl = "http://localhost:22278/projectserver/";
CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
LoginWindowsWebSvc.LoginWindows loginWindows = new LoginWindowsWebSvc.LoginWindows();
loginWindows.Url = baseUrl + LOGINWINDOWS;
loginWindows.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
loginWindows.Login();
ProjectWebSvc.Project project = new ProjectWebSvc.Project();
project.Credentials = loginWindows.Credentials;
project.Url = baseUrl + "_vti_bin/psi/project.asmx";

ProjectWebSvc.ProjectDataSet.ProjectRow projectRow = dsProject.Project.NewProjectRow();
Guid projectGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
projectRow.PROJ_UID = projectGuid;
projectRow.PROJ_TYPE = 0;
projectRow.PROJ_NAME = "Jakis";
projectRow.PROJ_SESSION_UID = Guid.NewGuid();
dsProject.Project.AddProjectRow(projectRow);
Guid jobGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
project.QueueCreateProject(jobGuid, dsProject, false);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
loginWindows.Logoff();
project.Credentials = null;
}
}
}

We are looking for some guidance with an issue we have picked up with our implementation of Service Broker here on the ABSA Capital project and I am hoping you can help or point us in the direction of someone.
The architecture we have implemented for service broker is to make use of an Activation stored procedure on two queues (1 SP per queue) to process the messages received. What we have found is that the activation stored procedure runs on a background session and its CPU time and memory just grows to the point where it brought one of our UAT servers to a grinding halt.
Is there anyway we can reduce the memory consumption of the activation stored procedure or is this one of those things that still need to be ironed out in Service Broker?
Hello,
I am trying to access the Return Value provided by a stored procedure executed on SQL Server 2005. The stored procedure has already been tested and it returns the required value. However, I do not know how to access this value. I have tried appending a parameter to the command object using "adParamReturnValue" but that only returns an error. The code works fine without appending this parameter. I have tested it by grabbing the recordset and returning the first field.
To avoid any confusion, I'm not talking about adding an "output" parameter to the stored procedure. I just want to be able to access the return value provided when the procedure is executed. Below is some of the code I am using.
try{
pCmd.CreateInstance((__uuidof(Command)));
pCmd->ActiveConnection = m_pConnection;
pCmd->CommandType = adCmdStoredProc;
pCmd->CommandText = _bstr_t("dbo.GetFlightPlan");
............................ code here ........................................
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("AircraftID"),adChar,adParamInput,7,vAcId));
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("DepartureAerodome"),adChar,adParamInput,4,vDepAero));
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("DestinationAerodome"),adChar,adParamInput,4,vDestAero));
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("DepartureHour"),adInteger,adParamInput,2,vDepHour));
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("DepartureMin"),adInteger,adParamInput,2,vDepMin));
VARIANT returnVal;
returnVal.vt = VT_I2;
returnVal.intVal = NULL;
pCmd->Parameters->Append(pCmd->CreateParameter(_bstr_t("RETURNVALUE"),adInteger,adParamReturnValue,sizeof(_variant_t),returnVal));
//Get Return value by executing the command
//The return value should be the DB unique ID.
pCmd->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdStoredProc);
int uniqueId = returnVal.intVal;
//pRst = pCmd->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdStoredProc);
//GetFieldValue(0,pRst,uniqueId);
printf("The DB unique ID is: %i",uniqueId);
return uniqueId;
}

Goodday.
I have finally been able to create a connection from Access to the SQL 2005 Server and was able to call a stored proc (in Server) in the following way
Code Block
Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
cnn.ConnectionString = "Provider='sqloledb'; Data Source='Private';" & _
"Initial Catalog='DBName';Integrated Security='SSPI';"
cnn.Open
cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn
cmd.CommandText = "sp_DefaultEntityData"
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
Set rst = cmd.Execute
rst.MoveFirst
Do While Not rst.EOF
lstEntity.AddItem (rst.Fields(0)), 0
'lstEntity.AddItem (rst.Fields(1)), 1
rst.MoveNext
Loop
The Stored Proc is as follow:
Code Block
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_DefaultEntityData]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT tblEntities.[Name], tblEntities.PrimaryKey
FROM tblEntities
ORDER BY tblEntities.PrimaryKey;
END
The table contains 24 entries
As you can see in the VB code, I am trying to read the returned "table" into an Access ListBox. The listbox should display the entities Name but not the Primary key, but the primary key should still be "stored" in the to so that it can be used to access other data.
I have moved the tables from Access to SQL Server 2005, and would also like to port all the sql queries to sp's in SQL Server. The old way for populating the listbox was a direct SQL query in the RowSource property field. I have tried to set the lstEntity.RowSource = rst but it did not work.
Here are my Q's:
1) As what does the SP return when it is called and is there a better way to catch it than I am doing at the moment?
2) How do I read the values into the listbox, without displaying the primary key in die box?
Thank you in advance!
Any help is very much appreciated.
I have a initiator and a target service broker peer.
Both are controlled by a C# unit test. The initiator uses the Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer class. The target service uses stored procedure activation.
Sending a message from the initiator to the target, saves the content of the message, along with its conversation handle in the target's database specific table.
The unit test needs - at a later time - to instruct the target to send a message back on the same conversation handle to the initiator service.
For this the C# unit test creates a Conversation off of the saved conversation handle:
Service client = new Service("cleintservicename", conn, tran);
Conversation dialog = null;
dialog = new Conversation(client, convHandle);
Sending the message on this dialog generates an error "Message body: <Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8495</Code><Description>The conversation has already been acknowledged by another instance of this service.</Description></Error>".
Is the error due to the fact that a service - using the activated stored procedure already picked up the conversation, so that a new reference to the service can not be created through the Service class in CLR?
If so, I might need then to skip the activated stored procedure in favor or a CLR service, alltogether?
Any help - greatly appreciated.

One of my client requires TDS for all databases. My BI product has reports with OLAP Cube as data source.
How about using BitLocker for the HDD where the abf is physically located.
I work with 2 cubes on live and one for development. I've set the roles in the live cube (using SQL Server management studio). If i go to the design mode of the cube the new roles are not there, so deploying the cube will not update the development cube with the roles. How one can easily copy roles between cubes. (adding them manually would be a lot of work because there are quite a lot of different roles).

I have created a cube with Analysis Service 2005. I then publish the pivot table (generated in Microsoft Excel 2003) as a web page. When I view the web page on the domain the LAN everything is working properly. But when the web page I view on Internet I get the error.
The query could not be processed:
* An error was encounted in the transport layer
* The peer prematurely closed the connection.
The web page is publish on the Internet Information Server, I changed the security directory of the website, but the error persists.
The firewall of the machine is disabled.
The port 2382 and 2883 are allowed.
The components needed to consult the cube are installed in the machine on which you are viewing the cube.
On the Rol of Analysis Service are allowed all users.
What other type of restriction may be?
Thanks...!!!
Hi,
I am trying to set up a SQL 2005 analysis server cluster in our two servers, AS02 and AS04. The server cluster is built up on Majority Node Set (MNS). During the installation of the analysis service, I don't see the available cluster groups. In the cluster admin, the cluster is up and running fine. The MNS cluster has no shared disk, and it has two nodes.
Any thoughts or suggestions? or is it possible to built the SQL 2005 analysis service cluster with MNS?
Thanks.
I need to extract data from SSAS' cubes into a SQL Server table.
I already read examples using Linked server (with openquery), SSIS, etc. However, the result always return as many columns per dimension as levels. I need to extract all members of a dimension in a column. E.g., when excecuting the following MDX query in Adventure Works 2014:
select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns,
Non Empty [Date].[Calendar].members on rows
from [Adventure Works]
I would like to get this result (MDX query in SSMS), but with keys displayed intead of names:
But I get this (MDX thru openquery or SSIS):
I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?

Hi there,
i'm new to this forum .. Maybe my way of expression is not very good, but I hope to be understandable.
I've a sql server 2005 database with 90 columns and more or less 185 thousands records. I've to run microsoft associations rules on my laptop (sony vaio sz3, core 2 duo, 2gb ram).
The problems is that the amount of ram seems not to be enough [it starts to swap when it's reading 240th case)
Because of this, i decided to sample my data by extracting 10thousands records randomnly ... it lasts 25minutes (more or less) now, but it's still to much...
Does a better way exists? What's the problem: column or row numbers?
hope you guys can help me.
I am running into a problem where Excel 2010 is freezing when I try to work with data coming from a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 pre-built cube.
What is happening is that when I go to add a second dimension to my pivot table, excel locks up and becomes completely unresponsive for at least 2 hours. If I add the dimension to the table before the measure though, everything is fine.
For Example, I am trying to build a sales report with the product name and customer name as dimensions, and Sales as the measure. If I add the product name to my pivot table as a column and then sales as a measure, Excel will freeze when I try to add the customer dimension. However, if I add both dimensions to the pivot table first and then the measure, Excel seems to work fine.
My Power view reports do not show the grand totals correctly. I think my issue relates perfectly to [URL]. However we have updated service pack 2 on both the sql data warehouse and the ssas box. They are 2012. However the power view is still incorrect. Pivot tables seem to work just fine. In AS I have a 2 separate measure groups that has a total count. I then use mdx to bring those two together. Something I have done many times in past with as 2008. My mdx looks like this below. I then hide Total Count EC (from measure group 1) and Total Count SF (from measure group 2). This way I have 1 total count value and they can use another dimension to see the two separate if needed.
CREATE
MEMBERCURRENTCUBE.MEASURES.[Total
Count New] AS
//
([Measures].[Total Count] + [Measures].[Total Count SF]),
DISPLAY_FOLDER
=
'Totals',
ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP=
'Report',
FORMAT_STRING
=
"#,#0",
VISIBLE=
1;
The measure Total Count EC works just fine but the Total Count (MDX) does not . All in Power Pivot works fine but in Power View the grand totals are not correct.

Can applications connect to SSAS Tabular mode cubes through ODBC drivers? I have been asked the question specifically regarding SAS, and I can see (for example) SAS Enterprise Guide has the ability to connect to sources via ODBC, so I now need to find out if there are such things as ODBC divers for SSAS (specifically Tabular).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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:

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.
