Hello,
how can I connect to a cube (on a SQL 2005 server) and get (fact) data to process with SSIS? I looked at the toolbox but I see no applicable tool. It would be fine if somebody can provide a link to an article or example.
Thanks in advanced!

I am trying to access Cube through SSIS and have been unable to set SSIS package with the work around provided here (https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=219068). On pasting the MDX query using the openrowset command on the OLEDB source editor, I get a pop up window with error 0x08000405 and the message that says 'syntax used for openrowset is incorrect'
I also tried running this on SQL Management studio but, get the following error.
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "An error was encountered in the transport layer.".
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The peer prematurely closed the connection.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)".
The server where the cube resides is on 64bit machine and I have 32-bit..could this be the reason for the issue?
I found this article on microsoft support website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947512 ) which describes the possible symptoms and causes for connectivity issues But, couldn't find a work around for it.
Here is the syntax of the query I am using in SSIS and query analyser
SELECT * FROM
OPENROWSET('MSOLAP', 'Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=<SERVERNAME>; Initial Catalog=<Catalog name>;'
,
'MDX Query') AS Rowset_1
Any help with this issue is appreciated!
Thanks,
hello,
Iam trying to build OLAP cubes in MS SQL Server 2000.But all the tutorials/docs mention about fact tables & dimensions.
Can I get some good tutorials on how to create fact tables to build OLAP cube ?
Also, which OLEDB provider to be used for MS SQL Server while creating OLAP Datasource ?
Thanks in advance & wishing u a prosperous new year too.
Is it correct to say that for each cube you can have only one Fact Table? I am having a funny dispute just now.Â
According my experience I never built cubes with more than one fact table, if I want take data from more than one table I write a view and I use it as Fact table...but a cube with two or three fact tables? Never tried..
I have a requirement.
I have a CUBE in SQL 2000. I need to change the structure of Fact Table and i need to add one more dimension to my CUBE.
What are the problems will arise if i do this. i need to Fully process the CUBE?
PLS help me
I have built a fact table and few dimension views in Datamart with the aim of creating a Cube.
On the Fact table I have added a CASE Statement with the following threshold for Premium due amounts:
CASE WHEN....
'Due_0-1_Month'
'Due_1-2_Month'
'Due_2-3_Month'
'Due_Over_3_Months'
'Overdue_0-1_Month'
'Overdue_1-3_Month'
'Overdue_3-6_Month'
'Overdue_Over_6_Months'
...END
I then created a Dimension to link this to:
CREATE VIEW...
Select 'Due_0-1_Month' as Ageing_Threshold
union all
Select 'Due_1-2_Month'
union all
Select 'Due_2-3_Month'
[Code] ....
I was successful in processing the cube, however the problem is everytime I drag the dimension on the columns field in Pivot tables the Thresholds start to break up the other amounts that I have on display like Acquisition Costs, Tax amounts. I am only interested in showing the breakdown of Premium amount measure by the Threshold dimension.
somehow 'Hide' or 'prevent' the Threshold dimension from breaking down the other measures on the Pivot and only breakdown the amounts for Premium?
how I should structure my tables in SQL or any MDX queries to resolve this.
Hi,
I use lookups to map surrogate of level 1 dimensions to my fact tables in SSIS.
But how to handle a level 2 dimension with a ValidFrom and a ValidUntil date field?
I do not use an IsCurrent column, because this could problem with late arriving facts.
- In dts I used an SQL statement like this:
update SA
SET SA.DimProdRef = Dim.RecordID
FROM SAWarenEingang SA, DimProd Dim
where SA.ProduktNumber = Dim.ProduktNumber
and SA.ArtikelkontoBewegungsdatum between Dim.ValidFrom and Dim.ValidUntil
Now in SSIS I want to handle the whole thing in the data flow without using a staging table:
- Using Lookups: I would have to pass the date column for each inside the fact table into the lookup. That does not work.
- Using Execute SQL in the data flow: would be very slow, because the statement will be executed for any line in the dataflow
Any ideas?

Has anyone figured out how to extract the data from a SharePoint List into a SQL Table or ssis variable
using SSIS?
I want to extract data from a table (based on a query) to a flat file.
So I have an OLE DB Source (data access mode SQL command) and then a flat file destination. The extract works finem except it extracts all table rows as one line in the file - whereas i want a separate line per DB record - what am I missing?
Thanks for any help!
i never used SharePoint before, only for update some Excel files. But now, I want to extract the Excel Data from SharePoint 2013 to my SQL database. I'm thinking use the Excel Source to do that, however I'm having very errors to achieve that.
I want to do some ETL on data from the Excel files.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie DBA and i'm trying to create a package that would extract data from MySQL and inserts them to a SQL 2005 Server. I'm quite new to this SSIS and would like to ask help from you to help me go through with this.
I hope you guys can help me with this.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Thank you so much.
Kind regards,

Hi All,
I have created database and OLAP cube in Analysis services using SSAS.In SSAS I have used a datasource which is using SQL tables to populate OLAP cube.Now when I added some more data to my SQL tables and trying to deploy cube,the newly added is not getting populated in the cube.So i want run SSIS package which will import data from SQL tables to this OLAP cube.
Can you please help me how to write this SSIS package to import data from SQL tables to OLAP cube.(Very urgent issue)
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
I am new at SSIS and I am trying to create a Datawarehouse using SSIS. I have the data files as flat files I have the Dimensional Model ready on Paper and Now I need to use the SSIS for the ETL process.
I am trying to figure out how to make dimension tables in SSIS? I mean I want to create the 5 Dimension tables and then create a Fact table out of it but I cant understand where to start? Can any one tell me how we create Dimesion tables in SSIS. Like one of the dimesion tables I need to create uses 2 flat files and is like a flattened dimension, How would I create this in SSIS?
Even if there is any tutorial which shows this step by step do let me know. I would really appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks,

:eek:
I want to use the Office Web Components (v10) PivotTable embedded in a web page. The examples and tutorials I've been able to find on MSDN all use the same architecture: The initial pivottable configuration is created by instantiating the object server-side and programmatically configuring it. The XMLDATA property is then read and sent to the client. At the client, script sets the XMLDATA property. So far so good, all makes sense. Then my problem: The PivotTable is then connected to Analysis Server using an http connection string (through IIS). As my users do not have database accounts, only application accounts, I cannot allow database connection information on the client. Trouble is, the PivotTable generates MDX queries when a user reconfigures the view, and there are no hooks (events or other means) to programmatically obtain the generated MDX query - a fact that is explicitly confirmed in MSDN documentation.
This clearly means that the PT must be connected directly to it's data source. So I thought I could just create a local MOLAP cube file and download it to the client (permissible as it runs as a trusted application). But nowhere can I find any example or documention on how to do this.
This is driving me slightly insane and I have little hair left now; if anyone knows how to do it or where to find proper PivotTable documentation (rather than a collection of examples that do something else from what I need to do!) then help is greatly :p appreciated!

Hello,
I have the following Datawarehouse problem (SQL Server 2005 and SSIS 2005):
2 Fact tables and both with some foreign surrogate keys of dimensions (some of them with common dimensions, other with different dimensions).
I have to create another FACT table that is an aggregation and join table between the 2 ones.
How can I do?
Hi All,
I am just curious to know how I can load data from a data warehouse to an Analysis Service Cube (both to the fact tables and dimensions).
Does any body have some way to achieve this?
I appreciate if any body provide me a good material which describe this scenario.
Sincerely,

I need help from you data warehouse / SSIS experts out there! I have a Transaction Fact Table with dollar amounts as the measurements. The grain is one row per transaction. I want to roll this up into a Monthly Periodic Snapshot based on 5 keys. I am having no problem where there is transaction data for each month.
However, the problem I am having is - how do I gracefully insert the Monthly rows for the five keys where there was no activity in the transaction fact table - I am sure there is a slick way to do this with SSIS but I am definitely having a mental block on how to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated!
What are the general guildlines for choosing these settings, like paralle vs. sequential, different error configurations? The default selection for processing multiple dimensions is paralle and use default error configuration. But the default for processing multiple partitions is sequential. I cannot find anything helpful other than the definitions from the online help. TIA.
Looking up surrogate keys in a dimension table and adding these to your data flow is easy when there is a match in your dimension table for every key in your fact table. However, I am puzzled by how to manage the data flow when no match can be found for a specific key in the fact table when doing the lookup AND I then want to insert this unknown key as an unknown/inferred member in the dimension table. The problem is further complicated by the fact that when I have inserted the unknown member in the dimension table and it has been assigned a surrogate key there, I want to add this surrogate key to my fact table - just as if there had been a match in the lookup in the first place.

I'm trying to use query parameters with an Oracle OLEDB Source in a data

I've tried formatting the query each of the following ways...

update_frq,
uptime_frq
from frequency_bcs
where update_frq > ?
and update_frq <= ?

Hi All,
Extracing data from unstructured XL file to Sql server 2005 using SSIS.
I have XL file that contains column name in row wise mentioned below:
National Currency (BD$)
Foreign Currencies (BD$)CASH
Notes 323 3235
Coins 585 875
TRANSFERABLE DEPOSITS
Other Depository Corporations 585 848
Of which: Resident Commercial Banks 858 999
Other Financial Corporations 545 897
The file also contains lot of work sheets.
pls. give me any idea to extract the data from the above XL file.
Thanks,
Syed
ex. from source the file you want to split the record into two, the one with a clean record and the other one with duplicate records
Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?
USE MyTestDB;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.FactTemp' ,'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.FactTemp;
[Code] ....
I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.
I have heard from my client that they are facing duplicate data issue on one of the fact table.
Basically there is a view built on fact table and client access the data through the views.
There warehouse is loaded daily through SSIS packages. The duplicate records issue is only when the views are queried during the data loading process. The duplicates are gone when the data load is completed.
Hi,
Please help me out in loading the fact tables
I had used lookup on DIM table to get my SUK and if I use union transformation to get the out put from each lookup and then loading the data with some condition the data in my fact is not loading in a proper format.
The union transformation is splitting the out put in to different records
Please do inform me about which transformation should be used to get the data from lookup tables.
Or please do inform me the approach to load the fact table in SSIS.

Is there a way to programmatically, or in an automated fashion, pull out, that is extract or harvest, all of the SQL Commands contained in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Packages, and place them in one easy-to-read file for further optimization analysis?
Is there a way:
A) To pull these SQL SELECT's and other SQL Commands from the SSIS .dtsx file(s)?
B) To pull these SQL queries from the MSDB for those packages that have been loaded into the Database Engine?
I would like to offer to our DBA's an easy way of doing this.
I am having a problem creating an Integration Services package which executes an MDX query and place the results in a local DB.
I am using an OLE connection to connect to cube. However when I run the package I get the following error ....
[OLE DB Source [175]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
AND
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "OLE DB Source" (175) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
Thanks in advance for the help
There is a function called "proactive caching" in Analysis services. It can:
----Automatic synchronization with the relational database
----No more explicit "cube processing
But I cannot have the latest data in the cube even I set the proactive mode as "real time"
Do I need SSIS to process cube in this case?
Following is the procedures I have done:
1. test the data
1.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, ensure no new data are there
1.2 process the the cube and browser the data, ensure new data are there
1.3 delete new data from source database and reprocess the cube, ensure no new data are there
1.4 add new data again
2. configure the proactive setting of cube
2.1 use sql server management studio to open the cube and open the properties window
2.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3. configure the proactive setting of cube
3.1 open the patitions view properties window
3.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3.3 in the notification tab, select "sql server " and specifiy tracking tables to the "fact table", which is a view to get data from real fact table.
4. wait a period of time...
5. test the data again
5.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, but no new data are there (even I selected real-time ROLAP later). I even tried the reconnect and refresh options in the tool bar
So my questions are :
1. Did I do the right thing to achieve the target "Automatic synchronization with the relational database "
2. Can I monitor the procedure of synchronization, such as monitoring the log of processing, viewing the schedule setting and status of the process?
Thanks a lot!

Do you know of some good cube schema's for reporting on SSIS package's? If this has already been done then I would rather not reinvent the wheel.
