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
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.

"Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right"
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says: Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Is there any possibility to schedule SQL job execution as Windows Security Group? I need to run powershell script through SQL job with one of this group member's permissions.
I have Sql Server Express installed on Vista (service pack 2)
I have Visual Studio 2005 with an application that I'm trying to access it with within a WCF service.
The login ID of the service is added to the database.
The database has remote access turned on.
The ID is granted access to all databases within the server.
The thread is being set with WindowsProvider and the services set their thread to WindowsProvider.
The dataserver is set with using Windows Authentication for security.
When I open my connection to the database, though, it reports the typically useless message that the connection is not allowed and that the server may not allow remote connections.
How to I get past this? I've done everything right.
I want to use an Active Directory security group that is a Distribution List for a new role assignment for an existing report. Can someone tell me if this is possible? I get an error each time I try:
The user or group name <DLName> is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)"
I am looking for a way to log all security related events for SQL in Windows Security Log. I am trying to use SCOM for monitoring SQL and I am looking at ways to generate alerts in my SCOM Console for specific events in SQL e.g. A table is deleted, user is modified, deleted, etc. Is this possible and if yes how do I achieve the same?
In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?
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......??
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'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?
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!
