Windows Forms: Can You Deploy OLAP Cubes Through Winforms?
Nov 16, 2007Hi all,
Does anyone know if its possible to set up OLAP Cubes in a Winform?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if its possible to set up OLAP Cubes in a Winform?
Thanks,
Rob
When I try to modify a OLAp Cube, suddenly appears a Error message
"Unknow Error. Restart the Application"
And this break my cube down
This is not always, just some time, for example when I proof the cube on Microsoft Excel or After I backed up the databes of analysis
What can I do?
I'll thanks your quick answer
NOTE: My cube use MOLAP aggregations
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.
Thanks
Is there a way to script your OLAP cubes created in OLAP Manager to e.g. text files with CREATE CUBE and SELECT INTO statements.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to find a group where this question would fit so I amposting it here. I have what I believe is a unique situation. I amusing SQL Server Analysis Server to build a cube of "snapshot"month-end type of data. This data is from an instance of MicrosoftNavision and I have successfully used SQL-DMO and DTSPackage Libraryobjects to allow the user to rebuild the cube through Navision. Thisis accounting data and as such, the accountants want to be able toarchive this data by month. I know through Analysis Server Managerinterface I can copy the cube and save it to a different name.I would like to know if there is a way to programmatically save a cubeto a different name with some type of automation object?Thanks

I try to design a report with Chart based on an Analysis Services Data source...
It does'nt work !!!
Has anyone else the same problem??
How can we allow users to access a MS SQL Server OLAP cube but restrict the level of data that he might see?
I mean, if there is a cube with data for three different countries. How can one user be restricted to see data pertaining to
only one of the countries and not the other two countries?
Does anyone know the best way to set up filters against the Cube data.
Ex. The Cube was built with data for 1998,1999, 2000.
The totals and the rollups will include the value for all years.
Client A want to access the Cube Data through Excel 2000 but only wants to see the values for 1999 - with the correct totals and rollups...
I know you can uncheck the other years in the filters in excel, but the totals and rollups will still include the values summing for all years.
Is there away to pass in a query on the fly?
Thanks.
Can someone tell me how you can automate the refresh of OLAP Cubes? I just inhereted a data warehouse running on SQL7 and the idea of having to go in and manually refresh the cubes everyday is, well... stupid. I can't believe that they've been doing this for a year. Unfortunately, I'm not familar enough with MSOLAP yet and I can't figure this out. Any tips?

Hi,
i want to know whether it is possible to develop ADHOC reports using SSRS 2005 and OLAP Cubes. the requirement is the user should be able to select the columns he wants to see in the report.
I think this requires Dynamic RDL generation. It is very urgent. i have to give POC to the client on this. Any help in this regad is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am having a question on the SSAS2005 OLAP Cubes storage modes. We know SSAS2005 supports 3 different storage modes: ROLAP, MOLAP, HOLAP.
Do all these three storage modes of cubes store data in another physica analysis services databases which are inrelative from their data warehouse (in case they are built on top of the data warehouse)? (so it does not matter at all even we remove the data warehouse?)
Thank you very much in advance for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I am attempting to create som OLAP cubes using the NAV 2009 SP1 database. I am using Jet Enterprise with TimeXtender4 to build the cubes.

Has it dawned on anyone elsethat these buzz words were created by some geek who decided to take astab at marketing? Knowing that to the backwoods manager who knowslittle of technology that new innovative names for old concepts wouldhelp to sale their products.I mean seriously, what is the story here? In a nut shell, and pleasestop me if you disagree, but isn’t a data warehouse simply adatabase? Can’t you do everything on a conventional databaselike SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 that you can do on these newproprietary Data Warehouse constructs? I mean who are they trying tofool?Take a look, for instance, at Data Cubes. Who hasn’t noticedthe striking similarity between data cubes and views used in all themore robust databases? Also, what about OLAP? OLAP is nothing morethan a report generator. There’s nothing you can do with thesemillion dollar price tagged Data Warehouse total solution packagesthat I can’t do with SQL Server, Oracle or DB2…for thatmatter Microsoft Access.As an example some sales people for Metadata Corporation has the VicePresident of I.T. in Nashville, for Healthspring, sold on their totalsolution data respository which is such a scam. All they had to dowas throw a couple of buzzwords at him and they have him hypnotized.Personally, I feel that these kinds of marketing practices undermineour industry. It helps to unravel what little standards orconsistency we have. What do you guys think?Stuart

How can i intergrate deployed reports with a windows forms?
I have an SSIS package that I would really like to launch right out of a Windows form, is this possible? Also, some of the variables for the SSIS package are captured via the windows form, is there any way to pass this on to the SSIS package and then executing it? Can someone point me in the right direction to how to do this.
Thanks
Hi,
I have SQLExpress and SQL2005 both installed on my W2K3 server. I can access my databases with SQL2005 without problems.
As far as my memory serves me, I have not made any manual changes to the SQLExpress setup - nor will I as my users will have no knowledge as to how to - it must be an out-of-the-box solution.
I am using VS2005 to create a Windows Form project. I used VS2005 IDE to create a database as MyBookings.mdf . I have, in the IDE successfully created a table. This is all using SQLExpress.
I now wish to access the database and have the following as my connection string:
string connectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;Timeout=60;Initial Catalog = MyBookings;Application Name=SQLExpressTest;AttachDBFilename=.\MyBookings.mdf";
The following error message is generated when I try to access the db from within my program:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException:A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
The SQL log enties for my past several tries are:
007-03-20 09:57:50.92 Logon Cannot attach the file 'MyBookings.mdf' as database 'MyBookings'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 spid51 Error: 5105, Severity: 16, State: 2.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 spid51 A file activation error occurred. The physical file name '.MyBookings.mdf' may be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 Logon Error: 1832, Severity: 20, State: 1.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 Logon Cannot attach the file '.MyBookings.mdf' as database 'MyBookings'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I have spent 2 days researching this and have come up with no solution.
Can someone help me please.
Thank you.

I have a user who is trying to access the SQL 2005 server with 2 seperate accounts(using Windows Authentication). With one account he can connect just fine, but with the seccond he recieves a logon fail error. The only difference that we can tell is that the first account uses a password for our kerberos domain, and the second (that fails) uses a longer pass phrase (which does use spaces as characters). My intuition tells me that shouldn't matter, but I've been wrong before. Can anyone confirm this, or correct me if I'm wrong? This is using ASP.NET 2005 for the front end. The exact Exception details are: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'domainuser "

The user just told me this occurs with Forms Authentication, as well.
Any plans to make the source code of the Windows Forms data mining viewer controls publicly available?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I would like my newly converted to .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to use an Sql Express database instead of MSDE. Previously, development was done on the default SQL Server instance using the full SQL Server 7.0. When deployed, MSDE was used with a named instance. The connection string in the application settings needed to be modified as part of the deployment. Now I've converted to .NET 2.0 and to Sql Server 2005, and/or Sql Express.
What I'd really like to do now is have a project within my solution that, when built, creates the database by running scripts, and deploys that database to the output directory of the executable.
I want this to run as part of a continuous integration solution that, so that every so often, the entire project is checked out, built (code and data), all is copied to a bin/[debug,release] directory, unit tests run, etc.
Has anyone done this successfully? Any pointers?
Thanx,
WNC
Using Forms Authentication With Windows Apps--
I've used the code from UILogon.aspx (Forms Authentication Security Extension) to extend a proxy server in a windows application to manage the cookie when connecting to a Reporting Services web service.
When the proxy class is instantiated I get this error on the AuthCookie property:
'server.AuthCookie' threw an exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException'
The code executes properly in UILogon.aspx and AuthCookie is set to a null reference.

I have a windows forms application that I would like to put in production on several machines. Each machine will contain it's own data and does not need to be networked.
I can use my local connection right now to access the data, but I would like to change my connection so that it will work when installed on a client's machine.
My Current connection string looks like this:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMYNAMEMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsInterimApplicationInterimApplicationInterim.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I believe I could use something like this:
Dim connectionString as string = "Data Source=" & Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) & "/InterimApplication/data/Interim.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
However, I am not sure. Also, if the client does not install to the default directory, then this may cause the application to not work properly.
Lastly, I am not sure if the client machine needs any additional software on their computer in order for the application to be capable of connecting to the data source.
Any recommendations, ideas, comments, or general help is greatly appreciated.
Hello Everyone,
I have a Report Server setup on my laptop (XP Pro SP2). I have developed a report which I would like to view from a Windows Forms Application (VB.NET) using a ReportViewer. When I try it from the local machine it works correctly, but if I try to connect and preview the same report from my other PC (Vista Home Premium) I am getting the "Unable to connect to the remote server. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because the connected host failed to respond." error.
I have setup the Processing mode to Remote and correctly setup the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl using:
With rptRetEmp
.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote
.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New Uri("http://192.168.1.2/CPMReports")
.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/CPM_Reports/Test"
.ServerReport.Refresh()
.RefreshReport()
End With
Where CPMReports is the Report Server virtual directory and CPM_Reports is the folder where the report Test resides.
I do not know if this has anything to do with the fact that Vista Home does not have Report Services enabled or it is just a permissions problem. I have red several posts that describe similiar problems, but I could not find a solution.
Thank you for your help.

Hello. I've read some similar topics (most of them on this forum), but none of them helped.
I have a stored procedure which runs fine on SQL Server (in 0 ms). The problem occurs when i try to run it under a WindowsForm application (C#).
The following code
Code Block
SqlCommand cmdUpdate;
SqlConnection sqlCon = GetConnection();
cmdUpdate = new SqlCommand("StoredProcedure_Name", sqlCon);
cmdUpdate.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sqlCon.Open();
cmdUpdate.CommandTimeout = 300;
cmdUpdate.ExecuteNonQuery();
produces the exception: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." on the ExecuteNonQuery() line.
It's not a problem with the CommandTimeout or the ConnectionTimeout (from within the connection string), they are both set to 300 (and even when set to 0, the problem is the same).
It's very strange, because only two stored procedures don't work, the others work without any problems and under SQL Server (using EXEC stored_procedure) all of them work fine. It seems like the stored procedure is executed, but no response is returned to the client (the WinForm app), thus the timeout exception.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Hello!
I've been creating a vb.net 2005 windows form application using Everywhere and it has been going pretty well. However, I haven't had much luck finding any help on how to deploy my Everywhere database file(s) and Everywhere itself. To install redistribute Everywhere, can I just add the the 8 .dlls found in the Everywhere directory into my VS setup project? Also, what database file(s) do I need to deploy in my windows setup?
Thanks!

I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.
I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.
If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?
