When I start creating a new DTS Package and I choose the Analysis Processing
Task icon, I only have the option of working with the local Microsoft
Analysis Server.
How can I choose a remote server's Analysis Server in order to process its
database?

How to add a task to copy an OLAP database to a remote Sql server in control flow using SSIS 2005? This OLAP database is existed in the remote server and I just want to replace the existing one with the one just been updated in the SSIS package and the last task in the package is to copy the updated OLAP database and replace the one at the remote server. Hopfully during the copy and paste process it will not screw up the reports that are using the OLAP cubes at the remote server as the report data source. Thanks.

I have a cube in analysis manager. This cube is processed via a DTS in sql server 2000 with an incremental update.
The sql task finishes successfully but there is no data moreover in the cube.
So, I proccess manually the cube with the dialog box "process a cube" and I select Incremental Update : the step finishes successfully but there is still not data moreover!!
I have to process the cube with a full process each time!!
Why that doesn't work?? any ideas??
Hi
I am very new to OLAP tech. Can any body suggest or guide on cubes for manufacturing process.
Thanks

How to repair a corrupted OLAP database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan a SSIS server, i.e. staging server be used to create packages that update SQL Server 2000 Analysis services objects on another server running SQL server 2000 OLAP?
It appears that the OLAP connection manager ion SSIS supports only connections (and thus updates) to 2005 OLAP objects. I work for a company that has a huge investment in a 3rd party DW that uses Analysis Services 2000. the DW tool vendor will not support an upgrade to SSAS 2005. We wish to extend the DW from other data sources. My thought was to use a staging server with SSIS, used solely as the ETL tool for all new development (thus no more DTS development), and to update the sql server 2000 operational data store on another box.
I can find no documentation on how to process sql server 2000 analysis services objects from within an SSIS package. Any ideas?

Hi there.
Here is my problem: I'm trying to copy a few tables from an ODBC database located on a PC on my LAN to a SQL Server on a remote server.
To do this I have created a DTS package on the SQL Server which runs smoothly, copying the data as it should, but only as long as it copies the data from the ODBC database on my own computer where I have Enterprise Manager installed. The moment I try to copy data from another PC in the network where Enterprise Manager is not used to execute the DTS package the task fails to run.
I'm quite at a loss here and would very much appreciate a notch in the right direction. Perhabs some source or book which I may read to solve the problem.

Hi guys! I'm new here!
Is there a way to create an ETL package that gets data from a flat file, puts it in a fact table and then it creates a cube based on the data without user intervention? So the package will generate automatically a cube that can be used in SSAS?
I am sorry if I did not make any sense. Thanks!
Hi,
In my application, i have two package, parent package and child package. the parent package is executing child package using a Execute Package Task.
"Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to TRUE. means the child package will be run in separate process not in the process of Parent package.
this was working fine, but at a particular client location. its failing the error is "not able to load child package".
for me it seems some setting on server restricting to create separate process for child package execution.
when "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to FALSE. its working fine.
can anyone help what could cause its failure with property set to TRUE.
Appreciate any help.

Good afternoon-
Can a batch file that resides on another server be executed from a different machine? I have a batch file that resides on a server that I would like to run using SQL 2005 Integration Services. Is there anything I can do that would allow me to remotely execute this batch file and have it run in that environment.
BATCH FILE:
cd C:Trandev
otrun -at OTRecogn.att -DINPUT_FILE=%1 -tl 1 -cs dv -lg mylog -I
C:Trandev represents the remote environment
I have tried mapping the remote machine to a network drive on my local machine and using that drive to execute the batch file in an Execute Process Task, but it does not work.
SSIS:
I have a FOR EACH loop grabbing files and writing fileName to a variable that is passed to the Process Task as an argument through an expression(%1 in the batch file above). The Working Directory is a mapped network drive. The Executable is also a network drive plus batch file name.
Any help would be appreciated.
My computer is a HP Compaq dc7100, 512mb RAM, WindowsXP
I have a remote batch file on machine B that I need to execute using 'Execute process task' control from a package on machine A. The batch file uses pgp software and encrypts a file sitting on machine B itself. The reason why my batch file is sitting on machine B, is because the PGP software is on machine B.
If I execute the batch file by itself from machine B, the script runs fine. I refer the same batch file as a UNC path from my package on machine A. But that does not work since the 'Working directory' is still machine A. I can not set machine B's folder as the working dir because it does not accept UNC path. So I say, ok , let me map a path to that UNC location and map it as drive 'Z:'. Certainly if I do so, I will be running the process on machine A and the batch file will look for the pgp software on machine A, and hence fail.
I have tried third party remote batch execution tools (PSEXEC) but have not had success, not because of SSIS limitations, but simply because the PGP executable when run through the PSEXEC tool, does not identify the location of the public keys on machine B and hence gives an encrytion failure.
How do I get the remote batch file to execute such that it executes with its own env? Is there a better remote execution tool I can try or are there any other features of SSIS I can use to get around this issue? I need the results of the batch file and hence do not want to make it an asyncronous process.
Thanks
Sumeet

I expect to create a trigger to post updated data from GoldMine hosted in MS-SQL to my migration MS-SQL database in the appropriate tables mirroring the destination PICK data tables.
Then, start an ActiveX DTS package to migrate the data via a PICK DSN to data tables in a PICK database.
Currently the dba has been able to use VB6.0 with ADO to push data into PICK. He also was able to do similar using MS-Access.
However, PICK (RainingData) is of the opinion that he must script a PICK server side Basic (RealBasic) insert script to receive the data from a VB6.0 application triggered by MS-SQL.
I think that I could skip the Basic script and go direct with ADO in DTS as he has before with VB6.0 with a user form.
Can I have the trigger start the DTS or should I just schedule it to run as often as necessary to update the PICK database?
FYI, this is a one-way data flow into PICK.
TIA
Anyone within the L.A. CA area that has experience with PICK and MS-SQL can get some well paid consulting hours. I'm just the GoldMine GMT whose been enlisted to get the job done, but would appreciate an expert with PICK to join the project.

I am unable to call a package with a cube processing task... it will not execute. I have even tried to simply call a package to process foodmart on my own machine and it will not run. The package when run manually executes fine.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Hello All SQL Experts.
Need your advise on this. I have a DTS package which check for 2 dates and execute tasks when the date do not matched. The problem I am facing now is I could make the next step to start only if the previous step is completed. When the DTS package is executed, all steps being completed almost at the same time. See below / attached DTS package.
In the disgram, I have labelled 5 steps A ~ E, each step needs info from the finished product from previous step to produce correct result in it's own step. I couldn't schedule each step to run at different time because the DTS kicks off based on a file that comes in and each step doesn't have a fixed processing time to complete.
I have tried using On Success or On Complete and both options start the next step immediately not not wait for the job the complete or success. I guess this is because I have transferred the command to external when using command. Is there a way to control by some delay between each task?
Please advise. Thank you.
Each of the step has something like below (refreshing of excel file with macro build in):- I cannot build all macros into one file and run from the main excel.
declare @MainUpdate datetime
declare @TempUpdate datetime
select @MainUpdate=Main_Update_CET from APMEAPV_Compare
select @TempUpdate=Temp_Update_CET from APMEAPV_Compare
--select @MainUpdate, @TempUpdate
if @MainUpdate<>@TempUpdate
begin
DECLARE @commandK varchar(1000)
SET @commandK='Start Excel.exe "D:Daily_Status_Report_EDWHEDWH_Runbook_BTS.xls"'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @commandK, No_Output
END
My SSIS solution has about hundred packages and time to time I have to edit a package. I understand I could use 'Build' command to compile only updated package, as opposed to Rebuild which recomplies all of the packages.
Nevertheless, in both cases SSIS opens all of the packages in design environment before compilation. My packages are saved in SourceSafe and that process takes quite long and I was wondering if there was any other way to compile only updated package where none of the other packages are opened during Build/Rebuild process? For example we could use dtutil to deploy only updated packages without running Package Installation Wizard.
There is some way to exclude a package from the build process of a SSIS project ?

Hello,
I have several DTS packages that take data from SQL Server and exports them onto an Access DB located on the network. Basically, one Execute Process Task from within my DTS package takes the Access DB and zips it while another such task copies the zipped DB and pastes it onto another location on the network. All this works fine.
This export process happens once a month so each month I have to manually add a datestamp to the end of the Access DB file that’s being exported to distinguish it from prior month's export. For example, this month's export file would have AccessDB_20040727.mdb name and the next month it would be AccessDB_20040820.mdb (date is determined based on the date the output is exported on). AccessDB.mdb is the default name of the export DB and datestamp is added at the end of the file name depending on what date the export was run. As I said, I can do this manually each month and it works fine.
I want to, however, know if there is a way to automatically supply the datestamp to the Execute Process Task's Parameters' text box? Following is what I have right now in the Parameters box:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All_20040727.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
I want to take above text from the parameters box and replace it with something like:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406FileName_RunDa te.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
Where FileName_RunDate is a variable/placeholder for the name of the output with the datestamp the output is exported on.
There are three different Execute Process Tasks that are happening within each of my DTS packages so it's a time consuming job to have to manually add a datestamp to each package every month when data is exported.
Does anyone know if what I am asking is doable? If I can use a variable in the parameters box of each Execute Process Task’s properties and supply current datestamp values to it prior to executing the package each month? If so then what are the ways? How would I do that?
Thanks much.

I have tried to use Excel to access a database created through ODBC (connected to dataware house) on the OLAP server (SQL 2000)but failed. However I was able to use Excel to access the Food Mart 2000 database and cubes on the same server. If I use SQL AS Manager, then I can access both databases. Can someone explain why this happens? Since I am not a DBA or developer, I really appreciate someone can help me with this. BTW, SP3 for AS has been applied.

Hello all,
Please may I have your assistance?
I need to be able to connect(JDBC?) to my MS OLAP database from my Web based Java application. Can this be done? if so how.
Your comments would be greatly appreciated
I have a SSIS package which is used to update the OLAP database daily. It includes various processes from the initial dropping of the raw data source tables, rebuilding it, dropping of the OLAP datamart tables (dimension tables and fact tables), re-building it, updating the OLAP dimensions and finally updating the OLAP cubes. I wrote a series of the Sql scripts to perform the tasks except the updating of the OLAP dimensions and cubes, and assigned them to the SSIS package. Everything is working great and it was scheduled with the sql agent to execute at the early hour everyday. We have a single server enviroment for the "Production/Processing" i.e. Database engine, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS are all installed on a single server. By the way we are using Sql 2005.
Recently we split the "Production/Processing" enviroment into two seperated servers. We purchase another server "Production" server and use the existing server as the "Processing" server. I want to copy the success updated OLAP database from the current server "Processing" server to the new "Production" server. How to copy an OLAP database between servers?
Idealy, I believe that the following 5 processes should be assigned after the completion of the OLAP cubes updated at the "Processing" server:
Stop the SSAS at the "Production" server.........I know how to do this in SSIS
Re-name the existing OLAP database at the "Production" server.......not sure how to do this
Copy the newly updated OLAP database from "Processing" server to the "Production" server. If the copy process is succeed, drop the OLAP database that has just been re-named at the "Production" server. If the copy process is failed, re-named the OLAP database that has just been re-named back to the original name.....not sure how to do this. Should it be a Sql script?
Start the SSAS at the "Production" server........I know how to do this in SSIS
Thanks
Has anyone ever used an Execute Package Task to call a child package, and the Execute Package Task's ExecuteOutOfProcess = True?

This is eating up hours and hours of my time, time we can't afford. Is anyone able to successfully call a child package out of process?
Hello
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...

This request has been sent with High importance.
We have one production server called "Server1" on Domain "Domain1" in Boston,
And one more production server called "Server2" on Domain "Domain2" in remote in California.
Server1 ------------- Sqlserver 6.5 version SP5a update
Compaq 6500 server 4 GB ram with 3 GB for Sqlserver and 1 GB for Windows NT 4.0
Approx. 300 user connections a day and more transactions which is the main server for Online store on the web.
Server2 ------------- Sqlserver 7.0 Version SP3 version
We are have a DTS package developed to export 5000 records for eg.; from Server2 to Server1 through ODBC connection. We have planned to run this as a job in off hours as for now.
we are planning to write VB script for all transactions like select calling procedures etc., thru ODBC which is going to be developed as a DTS package and run by VB script from remote server server2 (7.0). (we have network problems and blocking issues too when user connects to this server server 1 (6.5))
Can anyone suggest me whether we can move forward to this.
We know we will face ODBC Connectivity issues. and Need to run the object error when running VBScript with DTS Run - Bug Ref: Q271889 - Microsoft Knowledge Base.
But any performance problem, memory leak which will affect the server1 (6.5) heavily bringing it down.
Thanks in advance.
