I have been digging a little more into Analysis Services and how it stores Writeback data.
The way i see it, everytime a Analysis Services shall writeback data it does a cube UPDATE cell where it takes the difference between the original value and the value that should be stored. The differrence is then stored in the writeback table.
When lets say 1000 is inserted in a new cell, that has no original value, there is nothing to make a difference to. Therefore the stored value will be 1000 in the writeback table.
The problem comes if a user will store Zero in a new cell (Let's say people should register absence from work and types zero for a cetain day). Since there is nothing to calculate a difference from, Analysis Services then decides to ignore that value.
My question is if someone knows a workaround for this or if it's something that Microsoft will solve in a SP
Hi, I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
HI,I HAVE AN EXCEL SHEET WITH SOME DATA, I WANT TO IMPORT THAT DATA (CELLBY CELL WITH MANIPULATION) INTO THE SQL SERVER TABLES BY USING STOREDPROCEDURE(IF POSSIBLE).IF ANYBODY HAVE DONE SIMILER TYPE OF JOB OR KNOWING ABOUT IT, PLS. LETME KNOW.THANKS IN ADV.T.S.NEGI
I was wondering if it is possible to use SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 with the 'writeback' feature to the source OLTP database?
I have seen article's that refer to using SQL Server Analyses Services (SSAS) and writing back to the ROLAP/MOLAP database, however this is not desirable for our case.
I have almost come to the conclusion that it is not possible without SSAS.
We are using a SSAS Server in order to analyse financial data. To create forecast scenarios, we would like to use the "what-if-analysis"-feature of Excel. With this feature, data that was changed in Excel can be written back into the cube.
There are several data analyists who should be able to create scenarios on their own, that's why, each of them gets his own offline cube (a .cub file that is stored in the file system) whose data is extracted from the SSAS Server.
Unfortunately, we found no way to write back data in these offline cubes. Due to the error message, Excel failed to establish a connection to the external data source. Is there a way to writeback data to a local cube?
Does anyone know what SQL Server uses to identify other servers which contain SQL Server, when you attempt to register a new server through enterprise mgr? For instance when you go through the new sql server registration wizard, the second screen allows you to choose what server you would like to register, and it shows you the available servers on the lan that contain sql server 6.5 or 7.0. What is enterprise mgr using to locate the other servers containing SQL Server? Thanks in advance.
Can anyone give me advice on how to register 6.5 servers using SQL 7.0. Every time I try and register a 6.5 servers it fails. I get an error stating that "I must upgraded the 6.5 server or later to be administered by this version of SQL-DMO". I can't upgrade the server to 7.0 because the COTS product that we are using as the front end relies on 6.5. Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to install 6.5 on my workstation as a separate application than 7.0? Someone please help?
I just created a new db on a programmer's machine. Now I cannot register his sql server on my sql server. It doesn't like 'sa'. I can connect as 'administrator' but then I cannot do anything. Seems like the logins are messed up. I am not able to execute any stored procedures as administrator.
When using MSDE or SQL7 as the back-end to Access2000 projects (adp), the examples often have an .mdf file to match such as say NorthwindCS.mdf The instructions are: 1. set this file aside, 2. create a database with this name then 3. stop SQLServer, 4. copy own file to msql7data... 5 use it.... although this soemtimes works, i mostly get a "suspect" database I was hoping to fix this with DBCC REPAIR, but support for this command seems to have disappeared Help
I mistakenly registered a SQL 6.5 server in SQL 7.0. I would like to remove the registration entry, since I often will click it by acident, and it will fire up the SQL 6.5 EM session. However, when I right click on the server and try to select the "Delete SQLServer Registration" from the menu, that option is greyed out. Is there any way I can remove this SQLServer somehow?
Hi! Just started playing, but when I try to register an active (on the network) 6.5 server in the 7.0 EM I get the message that I must upgrade the 6.5 server...I know in 6.5 I could access 6.0 servers after runnning a script on the 6.0 server, but so far I don`t see anything like this for 7.0. Will I end up having to run 2 versions of EM on a machine (if possible) to access my 6.5/7.0 servers? (I know I won`t be able to do anything fancy, but it is nice (under my 6.5 EM) to be able to manage server activity/db`s from one machine, regardless of them being 6.0 or 6.5!
I have recently installed SQL Server 2000, And trying to register a remote SQL 7 server, through enterprise manager which fails with the following error message: Timeout expired
I am able to connect to the same server using Query Analyzer. I was able to register this server from the same machine, prior to the installation of SQL 2000. Also, I am still able to connect to other SQL 7 servers, with SQL 2000 enterprise manager.
Over the weekend we changed ISPs on our SQL Server 2000 machine. The only configuration change was the IP address. I'm able to register the server from client machines using EM which are on the same network, but I can't register it from home. I've verified the IP address, username/password etc and the connection just fails with the message 'Sql Server does not exist or access is denied.' Could this be a port issue? Any ideas? Thanks.
How do I register servers in Enterprise Manager or access them in Query Analyzer in non-trusted domains via TCP/IP? I must administer a number of servers for which I have all the security credentials (IP addresses, Windows Administrator logon and password, sa password).
I need help with a problem that is driving me nuts and should be so easy that it is mindless. The problem is with registering SQL servers in Enterprise Manager. The network is a routed environment with many subnets. TCP/IP addresses are assigned by DHCP and name resolution is done via WINS. The SQL clients are set to use Named Pipes as the Net-Library. The servers are using standard security. I have the correct sa password. Then I try to register a SQL server. It returns a message that it is unavailable. The SQL box is visible in Network Neighborhood; is able to be pinged both via machine name and IP address; the msssqlserver service is running on the box. I can register the box using standard security and the same credentials in EM right on the server. Why can't I register it from a client?
Please pardon my ignorance, but I am using MS SQL2000...On system start upthe Server Service Manager defaults to server "BACK" which is not evenregistered in the SQL Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager shows only oneserver " OFFICE" which is the one I want to default to. How do I remove the"Back" server completly from the system?thank you
The organization I work for will be converting to SQL Server 2005 in the near future so I downloaded the free 90 day trial to familiarize myself with the software. I've installed the software and my plan now is to go through the Tutorials. I need to access AdventureWorks sample database. AdventureWorks did not download upon initial setup so I've downloaded/installed it into what appears to be the correct folder: c:ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSamples. I cannot, however, seem to locate it within SQL Management Studio. As advised by the tutorial I've tried setting up a New Server Registration but I can't seem to locate AdventureWorksDB when I'm browsing for it under the Connect to Database:' option under the "Connection Properties" tab of New Server Registration.
I am familiar with database development as it relates to MS Access but I realize this is a whole new ball of wax. Any advise would be appreciated as it relates to this problem but also any information, i.e., very basic books on learning SQL Server would also be appreciated.
Ok, well I just installed Visual Studio.NET 2003 on my PC, and to prepare for next years courses I thought I might get going on some of the exercises. But I am rather new to this and when I try to expand "SQL Server" in the "Server Explorer Window" I get this message.
Could not automaticly discover any SQL Server instances. Choose Register SQL Server instance from the shortcut menu if you know there are SQL Server instances on this machine.
From there all I know is that I can right click on "SQL Server" and chose register new instance, but I do not know what to enter, and it suggrests leaving it balck but that doesn't work. I will get an instance but when I try to expand it another error pops up.
So as you can see I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to SQL Server, can any one help me with this?
hi , One of my user to register a server , then he is getting following error.
Unable to connect to server (reason:[sql server] login failed-- user:login1. Reason : Not defined as a valid user of a trusted sql server connection) Register anyway.
He is having permissions to the specified server. This server is 65.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I need to replicate some tables from our store servers to our corporate server. All of them are 6.5, and the corporate server will subscribe and the stores will publish. I have registered all of our stores on the corporate server so that I can enable them for replication.
The problem is that to be able to register them I had to create a system DSN for ODBC, but that would only work if I used the IP addresses. Unfortunately, then when I try to enable them on the corporate server I get an error stating that name (which is the IP address) is not a valid object identifier.
In ODBC I did actually use a real name (not an IP) for the name, a normal description, and the IP is in the Server field. Is there some way to use an alias? What am I doing wrong?
i'm at a loss as to why i can not register a SQL 6.5 server in SQL 7.0 Enterprise Manager. When i right click the 6.6 group there is no 'New SQL Server Registration...' as you get in the SQL 7.0 group. Highlighting the 6.5 group and clicking the toolbar button (which is actually visible) does nothing either. But, funnily enough when i installed Enterprise Manager another 6.5 server was automatically registered! Even more wierd is the fact that i can connect through OK with the ISQL utility to my 6.5 server (the one i can't register) and query it, fine.
How do i register it in the Console Root? It's definatly 'connectable' just that i can't register the thing! I bet i'm being really stupid (no comments folks!)
hi, I have just installed Ms sql 6.5 and tried to register the server, I typed a name and did not get any response. This installation was on a single pc which is not connected to the network... any idea of why the server is not responding. Do I need to give a name to the pc before I installed the sql server and then use register the server...
I cannot register, from my W98 workstation, an instance of SQL 2000. I just installed SQL2000 (evaluation edition) on my server. Previous to my install I had MSDE installed on the server and successfully registered it from my W98 workstation. When I installed the SQL2000 it recognized there was already a version of SQL Server (MSDE) on the server and said that was the default. Hense, I installed the SQL 2000 as an instance using the format servernameinstance. I can see both of them on the server EM with no problem--I just can't register the SQL 2000 instance from my workstation. When asked for the server name I use the format servernameinstance as it appears in the EM on the server. However, I get the error that the server does not exist or access is denied.? What could I be overlooking? Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi all, I have installed SQL Server 2k personal ed on Win xp and now I want to add another instance other than that one I added when installation.But I do not know how? I used EM and its wizard but it says could not find server or access is denied... -any quick help is appreciated
SQL Server 2012 two node cluster.I was checking the authentication after registering SPN and found the following.When the windows cluster is in one node and the SQL Server role is failed over to the other, windows logins to SQL Server use NTLM authentication.Or is it just my SPN is not working properly ?
