When I try to modify a OLAp Cube, suddenly appears a Error message
"Unknow Error. Restart the Application"
And this break my cube down
This is not always, just some time, for example when I proof the cube on Microsoft Excel or After I backed up the databes of analysis
What can I do?
I'll thanks your quick answer
NOTE: My cube use MOLAP aggregations
I'm looking into adding OLAP Cubes as part of our software to be distributed with our OLTP and eventually OLAP databases.
Is there any books that deal with distributing OLAP Cubes and or security.
Our clients will have SQL Server with our databases.
Thanks
Is there a way to script your OLAP cubes created in OLAP Manager to e.g. text files with CREATE CUBE and SELECT INTO statements.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to find a group where this question would fit so I amposting it here. I have what I believe is a unique situation. I amusing SQL Server Analysis Server to build a cube of "snapshot"month-end type of data. This data is from an instance of MicrosoftNavision and I have successfully used SQL-DMO and DTSPackage Libraryobjects to allow the user to rebuild the cube through Navision. Thisis accounting data and as such, the accountants want to be able toarchive this data by month. I know through Analysis Server Managerinterface I can copy the cube and save it to a different name.I would like to know if there is a way to programmatically save a cubeto a different name with some type of automation object?Thanks

Hello All,
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.

How can we allow users to access a MS SQL Server OLAP cube but restrict the level of data that he might see?
I mean, if there is a cube with data for three different countries. How can one user be restricted to see data pertaining to
only one of the countries and not the other two countries?
Does anyone know the best way to set up filters against the Cube data.
Ex. The Cube was built with data for 1998,1999, 2000.
The totals and the rollups will include the value for all years.
Client A want to access the Cube Data through Excel 2000 but only wants to see the values for 1999 - with the correct totals and rollups...
I know you can uncheck the other years in the filters in excel, but the totals and rollups will still include the values summing for all years.
Is there away to pass in a query on the fly?
Thanks.
Can someone tell me how you can automate the refresh of OLAP Cubes? I just inhereted a data warehouse running on SQL7 and the idea of having to go in and manually refresh the cubes everyday is, well... stupid. I can't believe that they've been doing this for a year. Unfortunately, I'm not familar enough with MSOLAP yet and I can't figure this out. Any tips?

i want to know whether it is possible to develop ADHOC reports using SSRS 2005 and OLAP Cubes. the requirement is the user should be able to select the columns he wants to see in the report.
I think this requires Dynamic RDL generation. It is very urgent. i have to give POC to the client on this. Any help in this regad is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am having a question on the SSAS2005 OLAP Cubes storage modes. We know SSAS2005 supports 3 different storage modes: ROLAP, MOLAP, HOLAP.
Do all these three storage modes of cubes store data in another physica analysis services databases which are inrelative from their data warehouse (in case they are built on top of the data warehouse)? (so it does not matter at all even we remove the data warehouse?)
Thank you very much in advance for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Hi all,
Does anyone know if its possible to set up OLAP Cubes in a Winform?
Thanks,

I am attempting to create som OLAP cubes using the NAV 2009 SP1 database. I am using Jet Enterprise with TimeXtender4 to build the cubes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn the subject of Data Warehouses, Data Cubes & OLAP….I would like to speak frankly about Data Warehouses, Data Cubes andOLAP (on-line analytical processing). Has it dawned on anyone elsethat these buzz words were created by some geek who decided to take astab at marketing? Knowing that to the backwoods manager who knowslittle of technology that new innovative names for old concepts wouldhelp to sale their products.I mean seriously, what is the story here? In a nut shell, and pleasestop me if you disagree, but isn’t a data warehouse simply adatabase? Can’t you do everything on a conventional databaselike SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 that you can do on these newproprietary Data Warehouse constructs? I mean who are they trying tofool?Take a look, for instance, at Data Cubes. Who hasn’t noticedthe striking similarity between data cubes and views used in all themore robust databases? Also, what about OLAP? OLAP is nothing morethan a report generator. There’s nothing you can do with thesemillion dollar price tagged Data Warehouse total solution packagesthat I can’t do with SQL Server, Oracle or DB2…for thatmatter Microsoft Access.As an example some sales people for Metadata Corporation has the VicePresident of I.T. in Nashville, for Healthspring, sold on their totalsolution data respository which is such a scam. All they had to dowas throw a couple of buzzwords at him and they have him hypnotized.Personally, I feel that these kinds of marketing practices undermineour industry. It helps to unravel what little standards orconsistency we have. What do you guys think?Stuart
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was working with an OLAP Services Processing Task when I ran
into some difficulties. I was prompted with a message which told
me that the object could not be found.
When I went back to the OLAP Manager I was not able to see the
databases for that server.
Does anyone know why I can no longer see these databases i have
tried refreshing/rebooting......??

I've created a web application with Visual Studio 2003. Uploading my application to the server is easy enough. I use the Copy Project utility from the Project selection on the menu bar.
I'm using a remote server-- and hosting account that supports ASP.NET and ms SQL. But now I want to copy my ms SQL database and can't find any way to copy my DB to the server.
What do the best way to to this?

What is the best way to move the databases to a new hard drive connected to the system? We added a new larger hard drive and I would like to move just the databases to the new hard drive.

Hi,
Iam trying to move the database from one server to the other server.I know it can be done in the following 3 ways i.e
Copy .mdf and .ldf files to the other server and attach them.
or
restore the databses from the backups
or
use data transformation services.
Now let me know which is the fastest way of doing this.
and also what are advantages and disadvantages of above methods if possible.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I move SQL databases quite often from one server to another. What is the most efficient way to do this? I normally perform a log dump then a
database dump and then copy the backup DAT file over to the new server and then perform a restore. This is OK except that the User accounts
permissions usually get messed up in the process and I have to redo them. It's OK for a few user accounts but some databases I work with have
many user accounts. The version of MS SQL I use is 6.5 (sp4). Thanks in advance. JLS
hi i am trying to move my databases from one drive to another..sometimes could be into different network. i know how to do this through management studio. but how easy it could be doing it from query analyzer or may be using batch file. if you have experience please drop some words.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.
I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(
We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again
Susan
how can I easily move my whole SQL Server 7 installation to another different machine as the current one is going down for maintenance during one week?
Thanks.
I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.

Hi Experts, I need an advice on this documentation. What are the things i missed. Can you please help me.1.Make a full backup of all databases from server 1 (for our safety)
2.Copy all logins , Jobs , DTS packages, folders from server 1 to server 2
3.Copy any folders or files from the server 1 to the new server 2 that will be accessed by Jobs, DTS packages, stored procedures etc.
4.Change all databases to Single user mode so no one can access the server( Downtime)
5.Detach all databases from server1 ( There will be downtime)
6.Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent Services on server 1
7.Attach all databases to server 2 since both servers are in the same Datacenter.
8.Connect to the server 2, using Enterprise Manager and make sure all the databases are displayed and that there is no suspect databases. Scan through the SQL Server error logs, SQL Agent error logs, and System and Application event logs, to make sure there are no errors. If we find any errors, fix them before you proceed any further.
9.Once we are happy with the new server’s server 2 state, shutdown the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services.
10. Rename the alias on server 1
11.Rename the alias on server 2 so all the applications will point towards it and reboot the server.
12.Start the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services on server 2.
13. After we have completed these steps, server 2 is ready to go.
Hi all,I am pretty new to dB programming and a have a few questions which I willput in separate threads. I have only coded as a hobby and some limited workprojects. I have recently been asked if I could help implement a simple helpdesk for work. This has only been running for a few weeks and the data iscurrently being stored in excel (I know...I know!! :-)I have installed a copy of MSDE on my development machine and plan on doingthe same on my office 'server'....in fact it may well already be on there. Ialso have another testbed to act as the client.My first question (in no particular order) is how to move the sql db fromthe development machine to the server? I don't have any sql/db tools otherthan anything that is included with MSDE (which I don't think is much).I will be posting other Q's for any experts out there!Thanks in advance.Phil
