Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light on the following error when selecting multiple items in a pivot table.
€œThe database driver does not include necessary capabilities and cannot be used with Excel. Contact your database administrator or driver vendor.€?
Your help is appreciated!
Hi guys,
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
Hi,
I have a problem with a reporting services 2005 report.
The data source is OLEDB for OLAP 9.
The report contains all the members of a parent child dimension. An example of the implementation is defined in the post following the forum msdn:
Http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=138549&SiteID=1.
The report works fine in web. The problem is when the report is exported as Excel, the groups disappeared and the entire dimension is ragged down.
Normally toggled groups in reporting services are exported to Excel with the appearance '+' or '-' on the left side of the sheet. This feature is very useful to hide / show lines.
It seems that with the implementation specified in the msdn post above,
It is not possible to export correctly the report in Excel.
So my questions are:
Has someone already encountered this problem?
Are there solutions with a different implementation?
Thanks,
Gurvan

We are getting symptoms of a 30 second timeout irrespective of what we do, but only on certain machines. Can anyone shed any light on how the connection timeout can be set, as there seems to be a factor overiding any settings we set?
We are working in Excel (2003) connecting to an Analysis Services 2005 cube through a website https://Datasource connection. When we edit the connection string that the file is using (either by forcing use of an exterior .ODC file and editing the settings in there, or by converting the xls spreadsheet into an xml spreadsheet and manually editing the connection string in there) we get no joy: after 30 seconds the error appears:
"Either a connection cannot be made to the [my server address], or Analysis services is not running on the computer specified".
This error is itself rubbish: If a smaller query (one that takes < 30 seconds) is run in the same Excel file and Pivot Table, it connects fine.
What really doesn't make sense is that the exact same file works on some machines and not others. These machines are all inside the same network (and the machines that work have been proven to work on a number of other networks). What's more there is no pattern to the machine capabilities - some newer / faster machines get the error. These machines (that work and do not) have excel 2003 SP3. (Another of the ones that works has Excel 2007).
Changing the connection string to include "Timeout=300" or "Connect Timeout=300" makes no difference, and "Command Timeout" causes a different error so that it wont even attempt to run the query (as opposed to collapsing after 30 seconds of normal progress).
Similarly in the .ODV the tags <ODC:CommandTimeout>, <CommandTimeout>, <ODC:Connect Timeout>, <ODC:Command Timeout>, <meta name=CommandTimeout content=1000> etc. have no effect (the file still gets the 30 seconds error rather than just giving up so no way of working out correct syntax)
The only pattern we can see, and we can't fix this, is that the machines that work have Retail versions of excel, and the ones that do not have corporately licensed versions of excel. We cannot see any difference between them in the Help >Abouts, but thought it might be worth mentioning.
Any help would be fantastically appreciated, we are out of ideas.
Thanks kindly

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 to repair a corrupted OLAP database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am looking at deploying an ASP.NET site which accesses an OLAP database - Microsoft Analysis Services
My question is how is this normally done:
Straight SQL / Stored Procedures
3rd party Adhoc plugin
Anything else
If there is anyone out there with experience in using ASP.NET and
Analysis Services I would be interested in hearing how they did it -
Database Architecture
System Architecture
and any
pitfalls etc...
Thanks in Advance
Jerry

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.

Could you give me some notes about ALAP ? What is ALAP exactly? What is the usage of this part of SQL? Could you give me some example.

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

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.
Help.
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone managed to get the OLAP server installed onto SQL7 Desktop?
I'm running it on Win98 and the installation only offers the Client and sample applications.
Obviously the client won't connect as there's no server to connect to.
The documentation on what does/doesn't run in Desktop version doesn't mention OLAP server.
Please email reply to me at RussLewis@msn.com
Thanks
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
I can't find anything written about licensing for OLAP anywhere. Do I presume correctly that it doesn't require one of its own?
Thanks for any info.

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?
many thanks

below is the error message I get:
Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP'.

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
Can somebody please go in depth detail what exactly is done in OLAP? i know it deals with the data warehouse end. but what does the SQL DBA do in the OLAP end? please elaborate. thanks.

Does Reporting Services have SERIOUS problems performance wise with OLAP data? Reports running directly against our relational datawarehouse run FASTER than reports going against the OLAP cubes. How can this be?
<rant>
At first i thought i was just missing something but the "upgrades" to reporting service have been a HUGE dissapointment, at least in the OLAP field:
- They STILL flatten the result set. How can this be after FIVE years??? After all the hype about UDM and improved integration with analysis services they STILL do this???
- Report builder: Has anyone seen a worse implementation of a reporting tool? Report models?? What about the UDM thats supposed to bridge the gap between analysis and reporting? Integration with SSAS? What integration? If anyone is using this for anything serious (and im not talking tech demos) i would like to know.
Is this what Microsoft defines as "Enterprise Reporting"?
