Hello SQL World,
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 ?
Error: -2147221499 (80040005); Provider Error: 0 (0)
Error string: Provider generated code execution exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Help file: sqldts.hlp

TIA,

Hi,
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
System has 4GB RAM and 2 XEON CPU.
Thanks for any info.

Hi,
I try to load in a C# application a DTS Package containing only one OLAP Task.
But the "LoadFromSQLServer" command hangs for 1h30 before retrieving the DTS Package information.
The same code is working perfectly fine for other DTS Packages.
I have already set the Workflow properties of the DTS task to "execute on main thread". It doesn't change anything.
HELP!!!!
Thanks for listening.

Hi. I have an Analaysis Services (2005) cube with four dimensions and one fact table (with three partitions - 2006,2007,2008) for which I need to create an SSIS package to process. I only want to process one of the three partitions (2008) - the previous two years should remain unchanged.
This is what I have currently in the Analysis Services Processing Task under Processing configuration:
- An object for each of the dimensions with "Process Full."
- An object for the 2008 partition with "Process Full."
(Note - Under Process Options, I see only Process Default, Process Full, Unprocess, and Process Data for dimensions and partitions).
Batch settings are:
- Processing order: Sequential
- Transaction mode: All in one transaction
- Dimension errors: Ignore errors
- Process affected objects: Do not process
When I execute the package, the cube loses the 2006 and 2007 data.
I am assuming that I have an issue with the Process Option or the Batch Settings, and I would appreciate any guidance!
Thanks,
Marianne
Hi all, here is my problem:
The last node of my workflow in SSIS is an analysis Services Processing Task, which is supposed to fully reprocess a cube, defined in a different project.
In the configuration, I found the correct cube and setups for it, I thought I wasn't gonna have any problems with it, but it started to complain about user and password information. I thought since the databases configured itself when I added them, the same thing would happen with this Task.
I do have my own user and pass which has permissions to reprocess the cube, although I thought windows authentication would be better then setting up a user and password for the application/task.
I looked in the entire configuration pane and found no information regarding username and password.
Where should I set it up, my SSIS solution or the Cube's solution?
This might be a newbie question, I'm not quite sure...
EDIT: Here is the error message:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: The following system error occurred: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. .
Hello
I am trying to run Olap Cube 2000 inside SSIS project.
I am using "Analysis Services Processing Task" Object.
The Visual Studio Project is sitting on the machine where the
analysis 2000 is running but yet i get an error while establish
a connection to the Analysis server.
On that machine also install MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005 .
the error is:
A Connection Cannot be made . Ensure that the server is running.
Does Anybody have an idea to why i get this Error.
Thanks,
All,
I 'm using 'Analysis Services Processing Task' as part of a SSIS package to refresh the cube. in the property page,
the 'loggingMode' is set 'enabled', but there is no records in the sysdtslog90 table while all other tasks are logged in the table. How to logging into the sysdtslog90 table?
Thanks in advance

We have an Integration services package that executes a few TSQL tasks, then processes an Analsys Services database. This has been in production for about three weeks now and twice the package has failed with this error from the event log:
Event Type: Error

Event Category: (289)
Event ID: 3

Description:
OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I don't think that this error is accurate because the package and Analysis Services are on the same server.
Also, this does not happen in our development environment. Any help is appreciated.

I have an olap database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process all the dimensions and cubes in "A" olap database.
I created "A1" olap database copy of "A" and made copy of "P" SSIS package as "P1"
I opened "P1" SSIS package and updated olap connection properties "Initial Catalog = A1". A1 is my new olap database.
When I run package "P1" guess what? it processed "A" olap database's cubes and dimensions. Try it, not in production because I did it in production.
We have set up an IS package to process an AS 2005 database (comprising cube & dimensions, etc) daily, via a SQL Server Agent job on both development and production systems. This has been working fine for months.
A new dimension was added to the cube on the development system - automatic processing via the IS package continued without issue. However, when the new dimension was added to the production system the IS package no longer processes the cube correctly. Although all appears ok (and all is present and correct in the logs), no data updates to the cube are made. Only when the cube is manually processed does the cube get updated.
Anyone got any ideas about how to get around this issue? We have created a new IS package, with a single Analysis Services Processing Task, and tried this but get the same outcome.
I am trying to execute an SSIS package from a client that contains an Analysis Services Processing Task in the package. The client that does not have SSIS and SSAS installed. We are getting an error
The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. The same package runs from a server that has both SSIS and SSAS installed. Let me know if someone has come across the same problem.
Thanks
I have an Analysis Services Processing Task in my SSIS package. I run the SSIS package using SQL Server job, the running of the package is a job step.
When I process manually the analysis services objects (in practise cubes) using dtexec utility I get a lot of log. In case the processing fails I get error messages that quite well describe the error. But when I run the job the only information I get in the job log is that the job step failed. I know the failure happens in the Analysis Services Processing Task.
Is there any way in SSIS to get a) the log of the Analysis Services processing or b) the error messages of the Analysis Services processing? Or should the processing be done some other way than I've been doing?
We find that if we deploy the OLAP database with a different name on the test server, then regardless of how we change the connection string provided to the SSIS package that processes the cube, then the package fails to connect to the database. To clarify:
In development the OLAP database is called MyOlapDB and the source database is called MySqlDB. Both are on the same machine. When the the application is built and released for test, the test team install the databases on a replica of the production environment (i.e. web app on one machine, OLAP DB on another and SQL database on yet another). They also, quite rightly, implement the new test databases so they incorporate the build version number. So, MyOlapDB123 and MySqlDB123 are both from build 123.
This is when the problems start. Regardless of how the connection string is specified in the job that processes the cube, the SSIS integration package fails with the error:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with the ID of 'MyOlapDB' does not exist in the server with the ID of 'OurTestServer', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
We have tried config files and job properties, but neither work. Also, simply attempting to run the package using the DTEXECUI does not work either.
Looking inside the XML of the package, we clearly see the ConnectionManager object which has the original connection string, which is
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyOlapDB;Provider=MSOLAP.3;Integrated Security=SSPI;Impersonation Level=Impersonate;
However, editing the initial catalog here still does not solve the problem. Searching the XML for the string MyOlapDB reveals the OLAP database name in two other places - both within the object data of the two Analysis Services Execute DDL tasks.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without having to hack the XML of the package?
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.

Hello!
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?
Thanx, Wiebke
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.

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?
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.
Any ideas or opinions?
Thank you very much.

I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
I 've read that there is a workaround for this issue by customizing errors at processing time but I am not glad to have to ignore errors, also the cube process is scheduled so ignore errors is not a choice at least a good one.
This is part of my cube where the error is thrown.
DimTime
PK (int)MyMonth (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.)Â Another Columns
FactBudget
PK (int)Month (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.)
I set the relation between DimTime and FactBudget doing DimTime MyMonth as Primary Key and FactBudget Month as Foreign Key.
The cube built without problem, when processing the errror:Â The attribute key cannot be found when processingwas thrown.
It was thrown due to FactBudget has some Month values (201510, 201511, 201512 in example) which DimTime don't, so the integrity is broken.
My actual question: is there a way or pattern to redesign this DWH to correctly deploy and process?
When using the AS processing task with a connection to "an Analysis Services project in this solution", only some processing options are available for processing dimensions. For instance, it is not possible to select "Process Update". Once I change the connection manager to point to the deployed cube database, I can choose from all the options. Is this by design?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine
" No specific cube it fails on
" Have created a Dimension only package, same problem
" Changed the maxmemorylimit
" Changed the connections to localhost
" Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs:
Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2
4GM ram, 2GB paging file
SQL Server 2005 + Service Pack 2
Can anyone help?

Hi there,
i have got a SSIS Package, that contains a sequence container with transactionoption "required". Within this sequence I placed different AS processing tasks and different SQL tasks. The transactionoptions of these tasks are set to supported.
My problem: in the case a SQL task fails on execution, all executed tasks are rolled back except the AS processing tasks. The expected and necessary behavior should be, that also the AS processing tasks get rolled back.
Has anyone got a solution or a workaround for this problem?
Thanks.
Andi
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 ?
Thank you
Hi everybody,
I'm fairly new to the SSAS/SSIS world (though not new on databases, etc.) and I'm having some problems with the SSIS packages in our Cube environment.
Currently in our SSAS/SSIS project, we have two major connection managers, one to the database we use for loading the Cube, and the other connector for the cube itself. To load the data from the database to the cube, we wrote some SSIS packages and used the Analysis Service Processing tasks to process all the dimensions and measures. This works pretty good, so no problems here.
The real problem starts, when I try to change the connection parameters, e.g. because the server changed, or the database has been renamed.
As soon as the connection managers points to another (existing) cube, regardless if the structure is exactly the same as the one of the old cube, the tasks lose all the assigned objects from their lists. It is really annoying to add all these exactly same objects to the task again. I tried experimenting with the DelayValidation attribute so the Development Studio doesn't destroy my work every time, but when I deploy the package the Cube breaks. Obviously some kind of deeper connection is destroyed when I change the connection string.
Is there a way to prevent the package from breaking/losing objects, without me having to sacrifice 15 minutes every time I change the connection parameters?
Regards,
Tris
I have an SSAS 2005 database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process full "A" olap database.
SSAS SERVER connection string is based on a variable read from XML configuration file.
It works well in BIDS, but when i deployed, the package failed at the step connecting SSAS, the message is "a connection cannot be made, please ensure the server is running"
In the connnecting string, i am using server name like servera.xx.com, if I change it to IP address, it works.
if I change it to Localhost(happens to be on the same server), it works.
But I need the server name solution as IP may be changed.
I installed SP2.
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards
We have an OLAP Cube which has 126 Levels in it (128 is maximum).
The processing of this cube only works sometimes.
Latest problem is the folling error message when refreshing the cube´s
Data-Source:
Failed to inform the OLAP-Server to refresh the connection to the
'A000S8-DW' data source. (A000S8 is the OLAP-Server-Name)
Error: Cannot open transaction to the server.
Cannot open database 'A000S8' on the OLAP-Server. (There is no A000S8
database on the Server A000S8 !)
When i test the connection in the data-sources-properties-box it says
'TEST Connection succeeded'
Does anybody know what´s wrong ?
Hi,
I have cube created, When I use the drill through option for some cells I get the the following message
'Unable to drill through. The operation requested failed due to timeout'
I tried setting connection timeout in the advanced tab of data Link properties to max(at the moment set to 15 seconds), But could not save that. The Analysis manager does not respond.
Any help please.
Thanks

Hello,
I would like to know if Reporting Services 2005 is a good tool for making reporting activities on SQL Server 2005 DW and also using OLAP (Analysis Services 2005).
There are any limitations or bugs to using it.
This is good for trends.
Thank, any help will very appreciated.
Hello,Can I import an OLTP (Reltional DB) as a Data Source into SQL ServerAnalysis Services 2005 and then use the Cube Wizard and the new DataSource View feature to create the OLAP model ?Or do I have to first design an OLAP Data Warehouse with a Star Schemaand then import this DW as a Data Source into my Analysis ServicesProject.With SQL Server 2000 , OLAP would be the way to go..but with SQLServer 2005 , it seems as though the wizard and data source viewfeatures do half the work for you.I have an OLTP DB and am not sure which route I should take ! Anysuggestions / input would be much appreciated.Thanks in Advance...RegardsRusszee
