Perspectives In Report Models Generated For SSAS Cubes Not Working
Apr 16, 2007
I never got an answer on this so I am reposting this issue. Also, please note that I have consistently reproduced this issue on multiple perspectives within and accross multiple cubes on 3 different SQL Server Instances. I have also had no problem with perspectives within Report Models that were not generated from an SSAS Cube.
Specifics:
=========
I have created a simple cube in BI Studio against an Oracle Relational Data Warehouse. In this cube I have created a perspective in which I have selected (included) only a small subset of measures and dimension. When I view this perspective on the Browse Tab of BI Studio, only the entities that were included in the perspective were available for report construction as was expected.
Next, I generated a model for this cube in Report Manager. Now here is the problem, I then opended the model in Report Builder and selected the same perspective from above, but all of the Entities in the cube were displayed including the fields I explicitely did not include in the perspective. I then looked at the .smdl file describing the Model and it looked like in the Perspective description section all of the cube's entities were included, even the ones that should not have been included. It seems as if the problem is ocurring durring the model generation. I also tried generating the model in Management Studio and it seems to be doing the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Could I be doing something wrong(probably)? I have to give a presentation soon and this is a big deal for the Project Stakeholders.
By the way, I am using the 180 Day Evaluation of Sql Server 2005 with SP2 CTP installed.

Hi,
I would like to build an SSRS report from two different cubes (SSAS 2005). These cubes are contained in two different SSAS databases.
To do this, i created a dataset for each cube throught MDX expressions.
These datasets use common parameters defined in my report.
Thus, i try to integrate in my report chart datas from the two datasets, but my chart only target one dataset.
Is it possible to create a kind of dataset view to join my two datasets ?
Or is it possible to join the cubes from two different SSAS databases in an MDX expression to put all my datas in a single dataset ?
thx for your help.

New to SSAS so, have some not so intelligent ???
We have created Dimensional Model within SQL 2005 and created SSIS packages to load. We have Pk's on Dimensions and FK's on one Fact table. We are thinking about adding clustered index to Fact that consists of the FK's and order by the Hierarchy within the Fact by Dimension. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA IF WE DRILL DOWN AND DRILL THROUGH = QUESTION #1
We build a CUBE from the dimenionsal model and we do not know how to build indexes on the cube. SO DOES SSAS AUTOMATICALLY BUILD INDEXES IT THINKS IT NEEDS ON THE CUBE AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?? ALSO IF WE HAVE INDEXES ON DIMENSIONAL MODEL DO THOSE GET USED BY SSAS CUBE THAT WE CREATED WITH AUTO BUILD??? = QUESTION #2..
THank you

I need to extract data from SSAS' cubes into a SQL Server table.
I already read examples using Linked server (with openquery), SSIS, etc. However, the result always return as many columns per dimension as levels. I need to extract all members of a dimension in a column. E.g., when excecuting the following MDX query in Adventure Works 2014:
select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns,
    Non Empty [Date].[Calendar].members on rows
 from [Adventure Works]
I would like to get this result (MDX query in SSMS), but with keys displayed intead of names:
But I get this (MDX thru openquery or SSIS):

I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?

I have two cube and i would like to get data from both cube and combine the results from both cubes to get final result to display result in SSRS reports like we can do in Stored procedure using temporary tables/Joins.Is there any way in SSAS to combine the data from multiple cubes? Data needs to be retrieved from the cubes based on the user inputs.

Can applications connect to SSAS Tabular mode cubes through ODBC drivers? I have been asked the question specifically regarding SAS, and I can see (for example) SAS Enterprise Guide has the ability to connect to sources via ODBC, so I now need to find out if there are such things as ODBC divers for SSAS (specifically Tabular).

Hi,
Is anyone using Report Builder via a Report Model generated from Analysis Services in production?
From what I have seen on the Forum people have done this from books, but it is not clear as to whether they have used it at work, in production. There do appear to be reports of some problems with the integration between the two, and with performance.
The attraction of Report Builder on top of Analysis Services is that we should only need to define measures, security, etc, once in the Cube, not twice, as we would if we had to use Report Builder on top of a relational source, alongside Cubes on Analysis Services.
What I would like to find out is:
1) If there is someone who has deployed Report Builder on top of both a relational data source and Analysis Services. If so, which has been taken up best by the users?
2) How does the navigation in Report Builder work with Cubes. It seems a little bizarre in that you can only drill down, never up. Is there any way around this. Do you need to design the Cube specifically to support the Report Model? If so how?
3) The generation of the report model is easy. However, is there any way to control this, or to edit it later?
4) We have had problems with Report Models on relational sources where changes have invalidated the Report Model and all reports built on it. Can similar problems arise, for example, if you change the Cube and then Re-Generate the Report Model?
5) Are there any other issues around Report Builder. The two I have found so far seem to be Hidden Dimensions showing up, and Report Builder not working if measures are defined as non-aggregatable.
6) Are there any other end-user adhoc reporting products which work better with Analysis Services?
Regards
Paul

Hi,
This might seems a little 'out there', but has anyone tried doing ETL from an Oracle 10g ODS into an Oracle 10g DW, and from there into SSAS2005 cubes?
Any caveats houghtscomments on doing this?

I have a Sharepoint integrated Reporting Services server. I have created Report models based on Data Sources. I then created Report Builder Reports to make some BI Charts and Graphs. They look great and work fine for a few days then all of a sudden I get a rsItemNotFound error saying it cannot find the Report Model which is clearly there.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
The item 'IT Reports/PWPDB_Prod_Model.smdl' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)
If I open the Report Model from Report Builder it loads the data fields, but also fails to run reports with the same error
If I try to regenerate the model from the library I get an error stating that the model needs to be a generated model.
The model specified must be a generated model.
(rsModelNotGenerated)
Even after rebooting all of the servers in the farm I get the same messages. I can regenerate a model from the data source and it doesn't work. I am seeing no errors in the logs of my app server at all regarding reporting services.
It looks as though I will have to de-integrate Reporting Services as it is not viable for a business critical application.

Need a little help here. I would like to utilize the ad-hoc capabilities of Reporting Services to grant the users of one of my web apps the ability to create all sorts of crazy reports that I don't have to develop.
Basically, this web app is a flexible survey engine. My vision is to have the users select questions from a survey that they wish to generate statistics on. My application would create a view in the database that transposes the data into a tabular format. They would then get kicked over to the reporting services web client, where they can regenerate a report model, and then fire up report builder to create their crazy statiscal abomination. (Aren't users grand!)
This process sounds wonderful, but I'm not aware of any way to get the report model to regenerate and pickup any views. I can get it to pick up any new tables that are added as long as a primary key is created for them, but I want the automated dynamic data rendering that comes with a view. Hopefully, some of you out there have tried to do this already and have some ideas that may help me. Thanks!

Hi,
the database my app is using contains information from multiple user organisations, a sort of multi organisation database. I intend using the reprot builder to provide access to a user ine ach organisation. However the issue of who sees what info has popped up and i'm trying to think of a way to restict the user of report builder to only be able to see their own organisations information. This is a social services type application which is used by mutlitple service providers so organisations get twitchy about other organisations being able to see detailed client info. on the application the security stops this but at am a t a loss as to how to best restirct access to an organisation won client data.
any thoughts? is this somehting that can be configured through the reprt model and the report builder user account?
few ideas or advise would eb v helpful,
trhanks

I am have a few reports built in Report Builder and obviously using Report Models. All these report models are using a share data source. When I try enable to enable chache or creating subscription I get and error that "Credentials used not stored".
I thought well let me store the credentials for the data source used by the model used by the report on the server. I still get the same error.
I tried to create a custom data source for the report but there is not option for connection string to connect to Report Server Model. We have "Microsoft SQL SEVER", "OLE DB", "Microsoft SQL Analysis Services", "ORACLE", "ODBC", "XML", "SQP Netweaver BI" and "Hyperion Essabe"
if I understand this right to create cache or subscription I must store the credentials for each report making shared Data source concept redundant. Also I cannot create a connection string to connect to Report Server Model.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me how to enable cache or subscriptions for report that are built on report models using shared data source.

I have a measure in a SSAS cube that uses AggregateFunction "Sum". Dimension usage seems to be right so that it sums correctly.
But when I try to use same measure in SSRS report it comes out all wrong.
TO be precise the measure is called "CalendarDays" and it's the number of days in a month (28,29,30 or 31). Say I have 5 products and 4 years, If I look at this in the cube browser then the CalendarDays column aggregates correctly to 365 or 366 for each year even with the five products and 12 months in the rows.
However if I do a SSRS report by product and month with subtotals of years, then SUM(CalendarDays) adds up all the CalendarDays for each month and each product (ie 5 x 365 or 366). If I leave out "SUM" and just enter =Fields!CalendarDays in the subtotal then it doesn't aggregate at all, it jsut gives the first value (ie 31).
How can I get SSRS to aggregate the same way as the cube?

I get this error message:
Semantic query execution failed.
The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type.
The report model does have a perspective.
Anyone else seen this?

How does the report model know what data source view to use? I could not find it defined anywhere in the .smdl file.
My problem is this. I have a Report Model project with two data sources, two data source views and multiple report models. When I try and bind a data source to an entity in the report model I do not get to choose which data source view to use to choose what table/view I want to bind the entity too and only the tables in one of my DSV's shows up. When I first created it, it worked fine. It automatically selected the correct view and table and was successfully created but now when I open the project, that correlation is lost.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello,
When I open Report Builder I do not see any of the models that I've created. The "Select Site or Server" is blank and I cannot get to any of the models. I can't change the dropdown from "Recent Sites and Servers."
I am not sure what I did, because it used to work. I did install SP2 but that did not cause a problem originally.
I can create new models (on both the BIDS and the ReportServer site) and I see that they were created just not in Report Builder. At this point Report Builder is non-functional for me.
The other thing that may be related is that I've never been able to run Report Builder from the website. When I click the button nothing happens. I made a shortcut to ReportBuilder.exe to get around this.
Thank you for the help.

I am having mucho difficulties deploying Report Models from my box.
I create a brand new report model project, I add a data source, a datasource view, and a report model. Everything builds fine. I setup the project to point to a valid SSRS Server (and I tried this on another person's box, everything worked fine), click deploy- enter the credentials, and the logon box just keeps popping back up instead of deploying.
When the credential box pops up, it has a "" in it. When I try this on another person's box, it works fine.
I just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 SP2, but I do not have Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
Could some of that be a problem?

I have 5 cubes, and hierachy defined for all cubes. for example:geography database with 5 continents as cubes and contries as dimensions.Now when i am doing security restrictions on my dimension ex: In USA dimension if i want only to give access to texas region then i should be able to see only texas cities. But i cansee all the states under USA even after selecting only Texas region under Dimension data tab inside ROles section in SSMS.I have tried security at database ,cube level as well as dimension level.But still not working.is that because of some wrong design of cubes or something related to database design.? I am not able to undersand that except roles everything in my cubes or datawarehouse is working fine without and defect in data.

I am trying to compute average of Sales amount for 10 days and I am having an issue when using LAG function. Since weekends fall in between working days my LAG (10)Â function is also including weekends and hence I am not able to get the correct average.
For ex: D1 - 10 , D2 - 20, D3 - 30, D4 - 50, D5 - 10, D6 - W, D7 - W, D8-10, D9 - 20, D10 -30, D11 - 10, D12 - 40, D13 - W, D14 - W
I am using a sample script
SUM([Time].[Hierarchy].CurrentMEMBER : Time.[Hierarchy].Currentmember.Lag(9), [Measures].[Sales Amount])/10
When I use this and When my current member is D12 Then I am getting the value as 200/10 = 20 (from D12 to D3).
However ideally it should be 230/10Â =23 (from D12 to D1) and lag should exclude D6 and D7 as it is a weekend.
I also have a working day flag in my time dimensions which says 0 for non working days and 1 for working days.

I have created a report and deployed it successfully to a seperate machine with SSRS on. Both my dev machine and the SSRS machine are in the same workgroup. I can then Browse to the Report Manager though IE and click & run the report (The connection is using integrated security). The report requires a single parameter to be entered which once done works successfully. The report has a single table, an inbedded image and a few static fields in the report header.
If I however add a report viewer control to an aspx test form all is not well. As soon as the page opens I am prompted to enter the parameter which is good news as it shows there has been some communication with the SSRS metabase. I then click the view report button. Using Profiler I have proved that the report Stored Proc. is running with the correct parameter value. The report viewer however seems to hang and only displays "Report is being generated" without displaying the results. It does this even with a timeout set of 1000ms.
I don't think this is a security issue as both the Report Manager works and the test form prompts me for the parameter and effectively runs the report SP. I can only assume it is a problem with returning the report to the browser.
Does anyone have any insight?

Hi,
I have a report which doesn't work. It has a datatset based on a store procedure. The store-procedure take 10 to 50 second to execute, depending on the parameters.
But, I can't never see my report as i wait more than 10 minutes and it's never generated.
So, I have think that maybe it could be because of the matrix inside the report, so I have try to create another report which have the same dataset but with nothing inside, just a textbox, and it doesn't work too !!
So now, i'm very disapointed and I don't know what to do !
Someone can help me please ? It's very important.
Thank you.

I'm able to execute the command under the data tab with no problems. I'm able to view built in reports for SQL Server 2005. I've tried restarting Visual Studio and the entire PC but the report will still no generate.

I have a VS2005 Windows application that displays a reportviewer (SQL 2005) report in a tab control, then displays a second report in a second tab with reportviewer, and so on. The really strange thing is that I had this application working for about 3 months. I even had up to 30 reports in 30 tabs at one point. BUT, for some reason now all I get is the first report and the second, third, etc. tabs show a reportviewer with "Report being generated" that never displays the report. Even worse, another user is able to run this application and DOES get all the reports displayed. So what could have been updated on my PC that is causing this problem?
Thanks in advance.
