OLTP Vs OLAP (Data Warehouse) As A DataSource In Analysis Services 2005
Jul 3, 2007
Hello,
Can I import an OLTP (Reltional DB) as a Data Source into SQL Server
Analysis Services 2005 and then use the Cube Wizard and the new Data
Source View feature to create the OLAP model ?
Or do I have to first design an OLAP Data Warehouse with a Star Schema
and then import this DW as a Data Source into my Analysis Services
Project.
With SQL Server 2000 , OLAP would be the way to go..but with SQL
Server 2005 , it seems as though the wizard and data source view
features do half the work for you.
I have an OLTP DB and am not sure which route I should take ! Any
suggestions / input would be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance...
Regards
Russzee

We have a live OLTP database for which we create full backups every week and differential backups every day. Recently we added an OLAP database, which we need to update daily with changes from the live database.
This is the process we are planning to use.
1. Restore last full OLTP backup.
2. Apply the last differential OLTP backup.
At this point we should have a replica of the live OLTP database.
3. Update OLAP database based on the OLTP replica database.
4. Delete the OLTP replica database.
Two questions.
1. If different from the process above, how is this OLTP-to-OLAP transformation typically done in the industry?
2. What is the best way to implement this process with SQL Server 2005?
Thanks.

Hi all,
How must I change the mdx that is generated for the available values for a user parameter in order to get the content sorted?
Regards,
Henk
BTW the exact mdx query is given below (and the label field of the parameter is set to 'ParameterCaption'), but I would already appreciate an example of a simple mdx.
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
MEMBER [Measures].[Nummer en Naam] AS '[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION +": "+ [Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
--MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME'
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL'
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
[Measures].[Nummer en Naam]
, [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS
, filter ([Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].MEMBERS,[Measures]) ON 1 ,
[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer] on 2
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@OrganisatieLevelnaam, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurPeriode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurJaarNummerLang, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [FMR DWH Afgenomen Dienst])))

There's a change in SP2 that I'm very happy about, but it took me by surprise since I haven't seen it documented or discussed:
http://www.artisconsulting.com/Blogs/tabid/94/EntryID/1/Default.aspx
Can somebody on the SSRS product team double check me that I've written that up right? That seems like a pretty important change and I can't see it mentioned in BOL anywhere.

I've
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.

1. As per my current development SQL Sever Analysis Database consists of two Cube (Cube A and Cube B). Cube A and Cube B share the same data source view (DSV1). The source for both these cubes has the same data source (DS1).
2. As per the requirement I need to create third Cube i.e. Cube C. Is it possible to create a second Data Source View (DSV2). The Source of second Data Source View (DSV2) will be the same data source(DS1).
I am thinking to create second Data Source View (DSV2) for Cube C because existing layout of the DSV1 has become complex. I wanted to know the pros and cons of creating a multiple data source view with same data source

A rather dumb question but I've installed an evaluation copy of SQL 2005 on my machine and a colleague would like the Analysis Services Data Mining capability on his machine (without the eval SQL Server).
Is there a license associated with such an installation when we buy 2005 or does it fall under client components which can be installed on any number of users machines?

Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have been looking at implementing a tabular model based on an OLTP database that's not dimensional. I know that this is possible but during my proof of concept I have encountered numerous problems ...
The things that I have run into are: After setting up the relationships I have found that measures filter context don't propagate along the relationships as I would expect. if the measure is coming from a target table and not a source then an ALL member is returned ( as in multi dimensional when a dimension isn't related to a measure group). Given the lay out of an OLTP database this will be hard to avoid.
One thing I have done to try an mitigate the above problem is to combine the tables used for measures in a view and using that in the source to connect to the rest of the tables. however due to the tables being of different grains this has then created duplication in some of the keys and measures. so the keys cant be used in relationships and the measures aren't accurate.
Are these things other people have come across? or should I give up the ghost and just recommend using dimensional models for the source? is tabular just geared towards a DW the same as multidimensional?

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.

I'm trying to build WebService to use result as DataSource for RS 2005 (XML DataSource).
But I have a strange problem.
I have WebMethod with parameters.
When I'm testing my WS in browser then everything works just fine.
But... When I'm trying to call this web-service from VS2005 environment then something strange happens.
Looks like VS passing parameters incorrectly to my WS (not passing at all!)
I've created very simplyfied version just to check parameters:
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Messaging;
using System.Text;
using System;
using System.Web.Services;
[WebService(Namespace = "http://company.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class GetRemoteData : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public XmlElement GetData(string CompanyName, string FunctionName, string ParameterList)
{
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement xmlElement1;
xmlElement1 = xmlDocument.CreateElement("parameters", "values", "urn:errors");
xmlElement1.InnerText = String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}", CompanyName, FunctionName, ParameterList);
return xmlElement1;
}
}
In the browser WS returns all passed parameters back correctly. VS - not.
What's wrong with my code? Why MSDN example works fine?
Do I need to specify some undocumented (soap specific) attributes?
Where I can find full tutorials how to create RS-compatible web-service?
(Sorry for cross-posting but I have no single reply...)

I am new to both Reporting Services and Webservices implementation so I am just trying to use a simple example. I found a Webservice on the internet that returns movie information:
http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx?wsdl
I am trying to call in using XML DataSource and with absolutely no luck. Here are the steps I have followed:
DataSource type: XML
Connection String: http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx
Report Data Quert:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://www.ignyte.com/GetUpcomingMovies</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://www.ignyte.com/whatsshowing" Name="GetUpcomingMovies">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="month">
<DefaultValue>12</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="year">
<DefaultValue>2007</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath>RunQueryResponse{}/RunQueryResult{}/diffgram{}/DataSetName/TableName</xmldp:ElementPath>
</Query>
I am getting an error: The XmlDP query is invalid. (Microsoft Report Designer)
Any help? I am trying to figure out this simple example so I can apply it to my own webservice.

Hello, 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 All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?

Hello,
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
thank you

Hi all,
Till now all the reports for our application was created in Reporting Services 2005 with SQL Server Database(OLTP) stored procedures.
Most of the reports take 10 to 15 report Parameters and all are multi valued.
Now because of the slow response time,we have decided to use OLAP cubes data source. We have created the OLAP cube in Microsoft Analysis Services.
Can someone tell me how to use the report parameters to query the Cube.
Any links,books for reference would be of great help..
Thanks,
Looking forward to your replies

I have a .rdl file that was exported out of ProClarity's Desktop Professional 6.1 using their RS plug-in. I uploaded the file into Report Manager and when I execute it, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'Three_Month_Funding_Trend'.
Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'.
Does anyone have any idea what this is referring to? Does it have something to do with my configuration, connection or the report definition? Other reports such as DBMS based reports work fine.
Thanks for your assistance

Hi
I am new to SQL Server and not quite understand the difference between OLAP server or SQL Analysis Service. Are they referring to the same thing?? An user asked me to confirm that the OLAP server is active on a server running SQL Server 2005, what do I need to check. The Analysis service is up and running, does it mean it is OK??
Please advise.
Thanks.

I have SQL 2005 SP1 already installed and I am trying simply to add Analysis Services in without screwing anything up.
I re-run setup from the original CD, but then I receive the following warning:
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
Can I safely continue with the installation and just check Analysis Services since it is just a warning? And after the install re-run SQL 2005 SP1 or is there a way to add this from the SP1 installation files, please help.
