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.
View 2 RepliesHello 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

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.
Thanx"
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
tried refreshing/rebooting......??
Thanks,
Ruaidhri.
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.

I keep getting this error when trying to connect users to the OLAP server from
Excel.
"Unable to open connection.
Cannot Connect to server 'OLAP Server Name'.
OLAP server error: The operation failed due to network problems."
When I use this excel locally on my machine it works just fine. Any ideas?
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
Steve

I have been trying install SQL server 2000 in my system but it not going through, Can anybody send information how to install SQL server and how to play with sample database.
I'm trying to retrieve calculated members from a cube using the OPENQUERY function and a OLAP linked server, the results from MDX Queries are then stored to a SQL Server DB Table.
below is the error message I get:
Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider 'MSOLAP'.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSOLAP' IRowset::GetData returned 0x80040e21: Data status returned from the provider: [COLUMN_NAME=[Measures].[first column] STATUS=DBSTATUS_E_UNAVAILABLE], [COLUMN_NAME=[Measures].[second column] STATUS=DBSTATUS_E_UNAVAILABLE]]
When I run the same query in MDX Sample Application it works fine!
Any help Please!
hello everyone,
Is it make sense to create 2 databases, OLTP for the insert, update and delete and OLAP for selection
and i'll sync between the 2 databases.

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"?

.. phew.. needed to get that off my chest.
Hi everyone, Sql express support olap server?, because I try it to make an a Pivot table in Ms Excel, but i can't, then Sql server have this feature?thx.p.d: sorry but my english :P
View 3 Replies View RelatedHI, i am new to OLAP in Sql Server 2005, bascially i have read through lots of article on this OLAP and basically i get to know how it works and function theorically, but i could not find an article to show me step by step on how to create the cube and how to query the data from the cube. Would very much appreciated if somebody out there can explain to me in details how to i create cube from sql server 2005 as i totally no idea at all. Though i can view the sample cude in sql server 2005, but i dunno how to create it from my relational database. I need it very urgent as needed by my job functionality. Hope to get some explanation from you guys asap. Just assume i am totally new and please guide me step by step to create a normal and simple cube and query from the cube. I just need to create simple prototype. Thanks alot yea guys :)
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhich forum do i go to to ask questiosn about configuring olap reports with .net 2005
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've created a data mart on a SQL Server 7.0 database containing 1 fact table and 6 dimension tables. I then created an OLAP cube based off this table. I used the MOLAP format and created over 900 aggregations until the performance measure got to be about 15%. It took about 45 minutes for the OLAP manager to get to that point.
The size of the actual data isn't that big. The fact table has about 500,000 records in it and the other tables have at the most 1000 records. The SQL Server and OLAP server both run on the same box and have a gigabyte of RAM installed. I believe I have thoroughly indexed the tables.
Here's the problem. I try to access the cube through Office 2000's web pivot table control and it connects just fine. As soon as I add more than 3 dimensions and 1 measure, though, performance goes down to almost nothing. My computer (and other computers in the company) just crawl. It takes about 20 minutes for the control to refresh after you add a 4th dimension. I tried accessing the cube through Excel 2000 and it completely crashes after I add the 4 dimension. I can query the tables directly from SQL and the results are returned incredibly fast.
I've got to be missing something here. Any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I keep getting this error when trying to connect users to the OLAP server from Excel (using SQL 7.0).
"Unable to open connection.
Cannot Connect to server 'OLAP Server Name'.
OLAP server error: The operation failed due to network problems."
When I use this excel on my machine it works just fine. Any ideas?
Some of my calculated members look like "######" in Excel and I believe it is because of divide by zero errors. I have tried right clicking on the table, selecting "Table Options" and "For error, values, show:" I have enter 0. This is not working.
Does anybody know how to get rid of this.
Thanks,

I'm looking into adding OLAP Cubes as part of our software to be distributed with our OLTP and eventually OLAP databases.
Is there any books that deal with distributing OLAP Cubes and or security.
Our clients will have SQL Server with our databases.
