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'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?
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.
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.
All, I am using SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition on Windows XP Home Edition.
With the microsoft provided sample database AdventureWorksBI.msi comes with an analysis services solution called "Adventure Works DW"
Processing this solution should to produce the "Adventure Works DW" Analysis Services database.
This processing never finishes. It hangs on Processing Cube 'Customer Clusters ~MC. Specifically it hangs on Processing Partition 'Internet ~1 ~MG'. This looks like something having to do with Business Intelligence.
I am wondering if my installation "Operating System" is correct or allowable for "SQL Server 2005 Developer's Editon?
I wonder if I need to set any special security for Data Mining? As anyone had any experience with 'never finishing' Analysis Services processing.
All, opinions are welcome. I would 'like' to hear all 'possible' solutions.
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.
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.
I have some problem: Evryday I autmoaticaly run SqlAgent job with DTS task that run tasks: 1. SQL Task: Shrink tempdb database 2. Analysis services task: Process ALL Database
From some time the job fails to run. I have error indicating that tempdb is full The error string is: "The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space"
The size of temdb file growth to 20GB. When I process Databse manually in Analysis Manager the database process correctly (because Analysis Manager do not use tempdb but temp folder)
What I should do in this case? I shrink tempdb before every processing so back up of transaction log will not help me. Any sugestions?
I'am using SBS 2000 Standard Edition ENG with installed components: Active Directory Exchange 2000 SQL 2000
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
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.
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
I have 3 cubes in a single SSAS database and these cubes should be processed using the following schedule
Cube 1 - Every Day Cube 2 - Every Week Cube 3 - Every Month Cube 4 - Every Day
The issue that I face is that these cubes share the dimensions and so I cant do a FULL process of these SHARED Dimensions as it will affec other cubes.
I can expect additions and deletions to my dimension data , but the structure remains the same. It would be great if someone can suggest how to go about processing the dimensions. I am confused with the number of options(Process Incremental, Process Update etc.,) available for processing the dimensions.
I will creating a SSIS package to automate the processing. One more question is say, if Cube 2 fails during a day and Cube 1 has succesfully processed on the same day earlier, how do I revert back to the old state of Cube 2? Does this mean that I need to do a back up of the SSAS database before processing each cube?
I have created a DTS package which should process an Incremental Update OLAP Cube ... however it is generating the following error message ... HELP has anyone seen this before ?
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?
When I process a new cube I recieve an error "Error (211): Unknown dimension member ' 8'; Time: 8/11/00 1:09:45 PM". Any ideas about what this error is about ?
I have a cube which can be processed in our development server. However, when it is deployed to the UAT server, the cube processing was hanged. What I have done then:
Checking sys.sysprocesses found that there are 8 threads suspended with waittype=CXPACKET. The threads are all reading the transactional database.
We then searched from web that CXPACKET is related to parallel query processing. So we have done the following:
Select 'Sequential' option in processing -> result is the same with CXPACKET.
Select 'Parallel' with parallel thread set to 1 -> result in one thread with ASYNC IO wait type
Select 'Parallel' with parallel thread set to 2 -> result in CXPACKET.
Change the number of CPUs SQL Server use from 8 to 1 -> result in one thread with ASYNC IO wait type
Change the number of CPUs SQL Server use from 8 to 2 -> result in CXPACKET.
Change 'Maximum parallel query' in SQL server = 4 -> result in CXPACKET. All the trials result in hanged status
Difference between development server and UAT server: 1. CPU : dev = 2, UAT = 8 2. SQL Server Version : dev = 2005 SP1, UAT = 2005 SP2 3. database size : dev > UAT
Anyone has the problem and solution before? Please share. Thanks.
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the 'WeightRecieved' column in the 'dbo_factPurchases' table or view.
The problem is WeightReceived IS defined in my DSV so I don't know what to do about this error.
