Hi friends,
I am new to MSAS world. I need help related to this. I want to pull data from MSAS cube programmatically. Only way I know is thru ODBO, but that won't help me in this case, cause I might have to drill down upto all possible intersections stored in MSAS (at least all of the stored members). Doing this thru MDX could be humongous thing, at least manipulating data taken out using ODBO.
I might be missing something out here. Can anybody help. It would also help if somebody can tell me if any other approach is poosible.
I am unable to crosstab different alternate hierarchies of an MSAS cube from a single dimension, I'm using Cognos Powerplay (7.3 web and client) to browse the data. v 7.1 displays the same behaviour.
When I try to create the crosstab the display replaces both rows and columns to the alternate path, it overwrites the original path. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cognos issue or an Analysis services one and if there is any way around it. The only solution I have at the moment is to bodge it by creating seperate dimensions for each alternate hierarchy however this is ugly and difficult to use.
I am having a problem trying to pull data that has apostrophe in them. How can I do this? I get this as an error
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 14 Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.

I'm trying to pull data from about 30 progress databases using DTS andscheduling the jobs to run monthly. I'd like to pull data betweenspecific dates, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to filterthe data on the progress side.I want to run a query that will pull all data fromprior-month/8/current-yearandcurrent-month/15/current-yearI'll also have to account for when it's january, make it december ofthe year before.Any ideas?thanks,M@
I got this piece of code from one of your articles:
select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;DATABASE=c: est.xls', 'Select * from [Book1$]')
Question is, how can I use a fully qualified path for the xls file name if the file is located on the network elsewhere?is that possible with this option?
Can any one tell me how to transfer bulk data from SQL Server6.5 to SQL Server2000.I have tried bcp out and bcp in to SQL Server2000 but it is taking very long time.Is there any way that I can pull the data into SQL Server2000 from SQL Server6.5.Can I use DTS feature of SQL Server2000 to pull the data from SQL Server6.5..
Ok I wrote a SSIS package that will pull down data from my AS/400 and populate a SQL Server table with the data.
1)The data is being pulled from my China configured AS/400. It is configured to handle DBCS 2)The SQL Server tables are configured to handle DBCS by using the nvarchar datatype. 3)When I run this package on my machine against the production server, it works perfectly. 4)When I run this package on my test SQL Server against the production server,it works perfectly. 5)When I run this package on my production SQL Server it brings down all the records, but does not bring down all the fields. Most of the character fields are left blank.(not all)
I do not understand why this is doing this. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Thank you.
eventually I started using DERIVED Tables and Sub queries within them if needed. I like choking down all the queries in the selects joining them and having your result set select there to choose from all the aliases, it also resolves while doing this. So much easier IMO than using CTE's or TEMP Tables. I was big on temp tables for a while...
I'm curious though if you want to count a type of criteria in a column do you use a standard case in your inner query choking it down just for those particular counts? Then do another case on the other criteria and END AS with the alias name?
E.G.
CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = PIZZA THEN COUNT(COLUMN1) END AS PIZZACOUNT CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = ROOTBEER THEN COUNT(COLUMN!) END AS ROOTBEERCOUNT ETC...........
I have a table, multiple columns, thousands of rows.
Six of the columns is the data that i need to work with...
col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
col1 and col2 - go together - example. col1 = amount col2 = description col3 and col4 - go together col3 = amount col4 description col5 and col6 - go together col5 amount and 6 description
i need to pull search the table based on an auto number "id" and pull in the necessary two columns that correspond with a set value in the description.
example:
if col4 has "fee applied" in the description i need to pull the amount.

This is for a datawarehouse environment. I pull a lot of data every night from an Oracle database. On Server1 the process took about an hour to pull all my data accross, on Server2 it takes more than 3 hours. I use SSIS packages to pull the data accross. Even just running an OPENQUERY statement takes a lot longer. On Server1 returned about 150K record in 1.5 minutes and now on Server2 it only return 40K. Have I missed a setting on my re-install. It the same SQL build number, SP_Configure has exactly the same settings and everything seems the same. I ftp'ed a file from the oracle box to each of my boxes and had very similar results, so it doesn't seem to be a network issue.
Any help would be much appreciated, is there anything that would cause SQL to pull data 3 times slower from an external datasource?
Hey guys, I have created an asp.net page where users can select multiple items and then submit the form. I would like to return related items back. The catch is, I want to only return items that are related to all of the selected items. I've created a SQL Procedure that puts each of the inputted item's ItemId in to a temp table, I have a second table called RelatedItems which I use as my junction table that has ItemId, and ReleatedItemId, I then have my Item table that has the data I want to get to (I've excluded this because I have no trouble pulling out data once I have an ItemId) I can pull out all related ItemIds with a simple join, however I don't know where to start when it comes to pulling out only items related to all ItemIds in the @TempTable. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks, Matt
I need to do some advanced formatting in the text file, because the data in the text file is bit complex. I have some knowledge of using BCP, BULK INSERT and bit about FORMAT FILES but I want to do some advanced formatting(using IF condition and all) to pull the data from text file. Can anyone please tell me how can I perform bit advanced formatting using BULK INSERT?
In an approach of building an ETL tool, we are into a situation wherein, a table has to be loaded on an incremental basis. The first run all the records apporx 100 lacs has to be loaded. From the next run, only the records that got updated since the last run of the package or newly added are to be pulled from the source Database. One idea we had was to have two OLE DB Source components, in one get those records that got updated or was added newly, since we have upddate cols in the DB getting them is fairly simple, in the next OLEDB source load all the records form the Destination, pass it onto a Merge Join then have a Conditional Split down the piple line, and handle the updates cum insert.
Now the question is, how slow the show is gonna be ? Will there be a case that the Source DB returns records pretty fast and Merge Join fails in anticipation of all the records from the destination ?
What might be the ideal way to go about my scenario.. Please advice...
My goal is to show the most recent 12 months of data including the current month based on a patients discharge date (relative to the query execution time). There could be many years of data so I want to be sure I am pulling the most recent 12 monthsThis seems to work (on the surface anyway … not quite sure if this is the best logic to use).
varchar(MAX) as 'MSG|John|J|Smith EVN|2008-02-01|A03 ADD|101 Highland St|Mount Vernon|WA|55231 OBS|Flu|Severe OBS|Mumps|Mild'
To explain this more thoroughly, the data is organized into segments: MSG, EVN, ADD, and OBS.
Each message may have 1+ of each of these segments.
What I'd like to do is pull the contents of all OBS segments and put them into a table.
I know I can identify them using the regex of ' OBS|' but I'm not clear on how to capture anything but the first one easily. Programmatically, it's simple. SQL I'm not so sure.
Can anyone give me a gentle nudge in the right direction?
Hello All, I have an application pulling data from SQL Server 2005 which is running on windows mobile 5 devices, and RDA is setup and working perfectly over http and this is in the production for long time, but we have decided to implement SSL for transportation recently and we have a certificate installed to the server and i am trying to pull data using https and getting "the request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed" message, only RDA stopped working over SSL, i can access scripts and other resources from the device using https (I made code to trust any certificate for any web requests) the link to the dll is accessible from outside, i have installed the root certicate on the server, the virtual directory has been changed to communicate via https on web synchronization wizard, then problem occurs, otherwise it will work ok, i am totally stuck at this point, is this a problem with port setup port 443 is opened, the issue is clearly a SSL issue. any help would be appreciated..what are the things to be done to implement SSL for RDA, i don't see anything more in msdn. thank you so much! sush
I have sql pulling back data from 2 tables (Ticket, Assignment) matching on an ID.
however the Assignment table can have more than 1 record for a matching ID in the Ticket table so is bringing back rows for each of these entries HOWEVER i only want 1 row returned matching on the FIRST record in Assignment table (on earliest DateAssigned field)
Here's my code
SELECT t.TicketID, CreatedByUserID, CreatedForUserID, DateCreated, a.DateAssigned FROM Ticket t INNER JOIN Assignment a ON (SELECT TOP 1 TicketID FROM Assignment WHERE [TicketID] = t.TicketID ORDER BY DateAssigned ASC) = t.TicketID
WHERE (CreatedByUserID NOT IN (SELECT u.UserID FROM Users u INNER JOIN Profiles p ON u.UserID = p.UserID
I know this is an easy one for most of you but this is new territory for me. I am trying to link a production application database to an existing SMS database. Both of these databases are SQL 2000. I have sa access to both of them. I have an accreditation application that deals with internal processes within our active directory network. We are using SMS database collections to provide the discovery for reporting of this application database and I want to compare the collection to the existing data between the 2 databases.
For simplicity I will define them both. Application Database we will call €œA-Database€? SMS Database we will call €œB-Database€?
I have gone into the A-Database and gone to linked Servers under the security node in enterprise manager. I created a new linked database and selected the SQL Server option in the general Tab. In the Security Tab I selected the €œBe made using the security context€? and used €œsa€? for the Remote login and the CORRECT sa password for the With password option. The server options tab remain the same with €?RPC, RPC Out, & Use Remote Collation€? selected.
It appears to connect but there is not any Table or Views showing up. What am I doing wrong here and what do I need to do to link these 2 database engines so I can move forward?
I have ssis package that pull data from SAP (Using ADO.net connection) to SQL server every night but i have noticed that all data from source is not getting pulled by package . package losing some amount of row.
I have SSIS package which is created to pull data from oracle server. The package is running fine when executing from BI studio. But failing when i execute as a job. I am getting teh below error message.

I am trying to pull data from an Oracle Db using SSIS. If I use the Table/View option in the Access Mode option on the OLE DB Source component, it works fine. But when I use the SQL Command option, the processing get stuck at Pre-Execution stage.... (for days).
HI All, I want to pull data from mysql dbms to sql servr 2005, i have wrote the following codes but it takes more than an hour and half which is not visible. Thus is there any consideration to consider and reduced time it takes. For your information i am going to use SSIS packags, there is no any tranformation, it is direct dump. Here is the code i am using,
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (Server_1,'
SELECT t3.Column11 as Column1, Column12 as Column2, Column13 as Column3, Column14 as Column4, Column15 as Column5, Column16 as Column6, Column17 as Column7, Column18/1000 as Column8 FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.ColumnId = t2.columnID INNER JOIN Table3 t3 ON t2.columnId = t3.columnID WHERE t1.Column4 > Sometime ')
Let's say I have a table of data as per the below..
I'm trying to extract only the green highlighted items..
The rules applied are: Only the latest data concerning all cases, and only 1 line (the latest) per case.
As you can see in the image, I don't want the 2nd,3rd, and 4th record extracted cause they are all superseded by more recent records (identified as they are further in the table).
I've considered using either Distinct or Having? but can't get that to work.. If I could use Distinct but then ensure it's the latest record in the table that would be perfect.
I have a dimension: All Completed - Completed - Not Completed
and a dimension: All Certificate - No Certificate - Certificate
I also have a measures: TptSum which Sums ThroughputTime TptCount which Counts OrderNumbers TptAvg which divided TptSum by TptCount
My problem is with the next measure: In MSAS I created a Cube which shows the measures on the columns and both Completed and Certificate on the rows. The OrderNumber selection is set to "All Ordernumbers". The measures a listed above are displayed exactly as i expect them to do. TptSum gives the sum for the subselection showed on the left. TptCount and TptAvg also show the expected values on their distinct rows. I can't upload a screenshot but it looks like this:
TptSum TptCount TptAvg All Certificate All Completed 101 8 12.63 Completed 5 4 1.25 Not Completed 96 4 24.00 No Certificate All Completed 95 4 23.75 Completed 2 2 1.00 Not Completed 93 2 46.50 Certificate All Completed 6 4 1.50 Completed 3 2 1.50 Not Completed 3 2 1.50
So far so good. Each datarow only takes the records that match the criteria at the left. Now however, To exclude exceptions that have a huge impact on the average I want to create a trimmed average. That is, I want to exclude the top 25% values in my trimmed average measure, which are the 2 records with the highest ThroughputTime, being ordernumber 00007 and 00008 in the "All Certificate" & "All Completed" row, but different in the other rows. I also want the bottom 25% values to be trimmed, which are the 2 records with the lowest ThroughputTime, being ordernumber 00001 and 0003 in the "All Certificate" & "All Completed" row.
I tried a lot of things, but i can't get it working. Somehow all my statements don't take the subselections on the rows into account. Really frustrating.
I hope I describe my problem well... I also hope someone knows a solution. I can also post the things I tried, but I'm afraid that makes it more confusing, because nothing worked ;)

I am trying to connect Cognos to MSAS 2005 from an UNIX server (AIX). I am getting the following error:
QFS-ERR-0002 Unable to find or load the shared library '/cognos/c8/./bin/libykodp.so' (or one of its dependents) containing the provider 'MSAnalysis2005ODP'.
Is this file libykodp.so part of a SQL Server shared library (.o file) that must be installed on the UNIX server? Any pointers? Many thanks.
Client have 2 servers, one with Sqlserver 2000 and one with Analysis Services.
Want to add a "Analysis Services Processing Task" to my DTS job on the SQLserver but the task does not exist since MSAS is not installed on the SQLserver...
Client does not want to install MSAS on the SQL Server....
Any ideas how to setup auto processing of the cubes ???
I am a Cognos developer (10 years) and am frustrated with the apparent lack of MSAS ability to replicate Cognos measure scope / allocation features.
I have built three cubes, Sales Info, Store Count, and Date Count and wrapped these into a virtual cube (Sales Reporting). Both the Store Count and Date Count cubes have just a single dimension and a single measure each (Distinct counts of Stores and of Days respectively), this is my attempt at replicating the use of several fact queries with differing scope in Cognos Transformer. In my virtual cube I wish the distinct counts to be allocated constantly within dimensions that are out of scope. For instance if I have product categories as rows and my measures as columns then I wish to see the total number of stores on each row and the number of days in the date range so that I can calculate a few ratio's. I do not wish to see the number of stores that sold products in each category or the number of days products in that category were sold, which is what I see if I use distinct count measures in a cube with the exact same dimensionality.
All that I have been able to achieve is something similar to Cognos's 'do not allocate', zero's appear down the list of categories in out of scope dimensions.
