I've installed SQL7.0 and OLAP service on my PC(windows 95), but I cannot find the OLAP Manager. Can an OLAP Manager be installed on Windows 95? If it cannot, can I create an OLAP database (or application) on my PC?
In order to install OLAP Services (the Client for the OLAP Manager specifically), do you need to have NT 4.0 or should you be able to install the client on Win95?
I have Win95 at my desktop and when I install OLAP Service, I only get the "MDX Sample Application" and the "Readme" file to install. During the setup, these are the only two options available for installation.
I'm trying to register a remote OLAP server under OLAP Manager. After I enter the machine name I get the following:
Errors occurred while connecting to <server>. Cannot open the following registry key on the server computer (<server>): SoftwareMicrosoftOLAP ServerServer Connection Info Do you still want to register this server?
The noticeable thing about this error message is that the registry key is missing the first level (HKEY_....). Has anyone been able to register a remote server? I can run OLAP Manager on the server without a problem. I just uninstalled and reinstalled OLAP services on the server and my desktop. There is a registry key with this path under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on the server.
I have SQL Server and OLAP Server running on an NT Server box, and a pc running NT Workstation which has OLAP Manager installed on it. I can register the OLAP Server just fine in OLAP Manager, but it takes about 30sec to a minute for the pc to actually connect to the server.
We've also installed SQL Server and OLAP Server on a Win 2000 machine, and the OLAP connection is faster.
Could this be related to a network routing issue, OLAP or SQL server install issue?
I can't get the OLAP Manager to install on my client PC running Windows95. It does install on the server running NT4.0. I want to remotely administer the OLAP, just like I do with the Enterprise Manager on the client. Anyone have any suggestions? Do you have to have NT on the client?
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.

A user was created with a limited privilege under the USERS group. Once this user loged in the Report Manager he is acting like an Admin and Content Manager, though he is not given even a browser role.
What do u think that this guy is acting like a Super User evenif he is restricted to a browser role on the Report Manager ????????????
On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How do I use vba string functions in MDX queries? The on-line help says that the functions can be used but I can't figure out the right syntax for it. PLEASE HELP! I want to take the first letter from a level i.e.([NET INCOME] in the e.g. below) and display it.
For eg. WITH MEMBER [DIMENSION].[NET INCOME].A AS 'LEFT({[DIMENSION].[NET INCOME].MEMBERS,1})' SELECT measures ON COLUMNS, [DIMENSION].MEMBERS ON ROWS FROM CUBE a.
I have install OLAP srvice on SQL Server 7.0 server. When I try to connect to OLAP server I get the following error: 'cannot connect to the registry on the server computer'
Has anyone tried installing an OLAP Manager 2000 instance on a server that already supports SQL 7.0 and OLAP 7.0? We will not be using the OLAP 7.0 instance so we would like to either upgrage OLAP 7.0 to OLAP 2000 or unistall OLAP 7.0 altogether. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks. James.
I 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......??
Analysis services is installed on a Windows 2000 server (call it computer A) in Domain A. SQL 2000 has been installed on the server using mixed security. All of the SQL services are running under an account in Domain A (not local system). The problem is the computer (call it computer B) I wish to run Analysis Manager on and use to administer the Analysis services on Computer A is in Domain B. There are no trusts between Domain A and Domain B. Can Analysis services be administered by a computer in a domain not trusting the domain that the server running Analysis server is in? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, Can anyone tell me where to fine some good help on designing Date type dimensions in an OLAP cube. This particular thing has been a pain for me.. I have a Time dimension in my CUBE which has year-week-day as levels. I want the week to start from Monday and span seven days ( naturally !! ). But OLAP surprises and entertains me by showing different number of days in every week. Whatever I do, it never starts a week on Monday and spans it for next 7 days consistently.
I have installed OLAP services along with SQL Server 7.0. I want to use the sample MDX application supplied with the CD. When I try to use the dsample application, it comes up with a dialog to enter the server name and gives me an error unable to connect to the OLAP server. My computer is Windows 98. Do I need to install OLAP Server ? If so how ?
So I am starting to look at an OLAP problem having been an OLTP DB wonk for several years.
All very nice. Am bending my head aorund cubes and the dimensions trciks and learing to choose them more carefully.
Have wokred through the various chapters of various SQL books (OLTP books with a couple of chapters of OLAP I admit) and am starting to feel if not comfortable with it at leats not compleetly terrified.
Now the Analysis manager in SQL is all well and good but I'm not about to hand it to the accounting monkeys that work here.
Does anyone have any suggetsions of some good OLAP specific books and any Cube viewing tools/suites/utilities that I can give to the computer-illiterate bean counters I work for?
I'm new to this forum and as well as new to OLAP testing . I would like to know OLAP testing and guidance for SQL server anlaysis services .
I have been trying install SQL server 2000 in my system but it not going through, Can anybody send information how to install SQL server and how to play with sample database.
I'm trying to retrieve calculated members from a cube using the OPENQUERY function and a OLAP linked server, the results from MDX Queries are then stored to a SQL Server DB Table.
below is the error message I get:
Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSOLAP' IRowset::GetData returned 0x80040e21: Data status returned from the provider: [COLUMN_NAME=[Measures].[first column] STATUS=DBSTATUS_E_UNAVAILABLE], [COLUMN_NAME=[Measures].[second column] STATUS=DBSTATUS_E_UNAVAILABLE]]
When I run the same query in MDX Sample Application it works fine!
