Hi,
We want to synchronize one database in two instances of Analysis Services.
We are using XMLA synchronize command.Our script is correct.
Account, which is executing the script has server role in source SSAS.
I cannot find anywhere what other permissions must have the user which is executing the script and what permissions must have SSAS account(on the destination) in source server and database.
Thanks Krasimir
I have created a Backup Schedule job for the Cube using following XMLA Query
Code Snippet
<Backup xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
<Object>
<DatabaseID>SalesAnalysis</DatabaseID>
</Object>
<File>D:Cube BackupsSalesAnalysis.abf</File>
<AllowOverwrite>true</AllowOverwrite>
</Backup>
But thing is everyday the backup file is getting created with the same name "SalesAnalysis.abf", and it is overwriting the previous days file.
So I want to create a Backup file with Timestamp in its name.
Thanks in advance.
how to run XMLA file in C Sharp
View 4 Replies View RelatedI hope some of you can point me in the right direction. I am new to all this and
working on a project using Cubes.
The cubes need to be generated in a dynamic fashion as the contents
(that means field) in the fact tables change change every quarter and are
based off of a external application.
The base strucutre stays the same though. So we thought we would export the
XMLA representation of the cube and then munge (word for alter) the data in the
XMLA file and send it someplace to create the new cube on a SQL 2005 server.
This seemed easy enough but I have found no real information on how to
run some piece of code that would create the cube based on this XMLA code.
On another note is there a parsing object for the XMLA so i dont have to right one from
scratch?
Thanks,
Bob
Hello,
We are in a similar situation at my client... we wish to issue the CREATE and DELETE XMLA scripts for a specific cube via SSIS, however are unsure as to the control object to use...
More info regarding our processes:
OUR SSIS flow is designed to:
1.) backup an existing cube
2.) create a new cube leaving the original in place for users to use while the new one is building
3.) once the newly built cube has been validated, drop the orignal cube, and rename the newly built cube back to the original cube's name
We used DDL code files (DDL Task Objects within SSIS) which contain the XMLA query code for each CREATE, DELETE, ALTER statements used for each specific task:
The flow:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) BACKUP Original_Cube
2.) CREATE New_Cube
3.) PROCESS New Cube
4.) DELETE Original Cube
5.) ALTER New_Cube to Original Cube
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to execute each DDL Task code set for a specific task, it is necessary to specify a connection to a given catalogue... however, in our case, and in the general case of using CREATE/DELETE/ALTER ddls, a given database & catalogue may or may not always be available...
it would be ideal for there to be a way to issue an XMLA script to CREATE a DUMMY CUBE (outline and model only) for all other DDLs to use as a basis (at the beginning of our SSIS Flow), and then issue another XMLA script to DELETE the DUMMY cube when it is no longer needed (at the end of our SSIS Flow)
Currently, the flow does work fine, however, the DUMMY CUBE must exist on the Server in order to provide a connection for each DDL Task... at this point, the creation of this DUMMY CUBE has to be a manual process, we are looking to automate this....
the "Script Task" object bumps you into a VB window asking you to provide a VB script... is there a way to have VB issue an XMLA command...? Or, is there an easier way around this...?
THANK YOU!
Michael
I have a very simple SSIS package with one connection and one Execute SQL Task.
The connection is a Native OLE DB for Analysis Services 9.0
The execute SQL task fires off this XMLA query created through the syncronize database wizard from MSAS2005.
All I want to do is dynmaicaly replace the Source on the connection String in this script to a local variable. I have tried the @variable and the ? syntax as I found some good info in BOL. However neither of these work.
I supposed I could use scripting to handle this but I didn't want to add that layer and feel that SSIS should be able to handle this.
Here is the raw script which works fine withing SSIS:
<Synchronize xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">

<Object>
<DatabaseID>Recommended Pricing</DatabaseID>

</Source>
<Locations />

Here is what I want to execute (Which gives this error
failed with the following error: "The following system error occurred: No such host is known. .".
):

Does anyone know where can i get the source code for XMLA Thin Miner ?
It would be useful to my project.
I am trying to run XMLA script to save .trc file to remote drive.
Anytime I try to save file it save it to the local drive where SSAS instance is installed.

How can I save it to my local (c drive) or remote server
Hi:
I am a R data miner who is new to SQL and SSIS and would appreciate any help.
I wanted to automate the process of creating and processing decision tree models for every county in the Country. I wanted to use the foreach loop for iterate through all the counties. I wanted the foreach enumerator to be used by the XMLA code that creates the model so it would append it to the name of the model and i would get a different model for every county. I am not sure how to have the XMLA code accept foreach loop enumerator.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you could direct me to a previously done example that would greatly benefit me.
Thank you

I am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.
I am trying to schedule the below XMLA query in Sql server agent Job and schedule it to run every 15mins or even less (if possible). However it seems to be not working and keep throwing all sorts of errors.
DECLARE @LastMeasureId AS INT, @myXMLA nvarchar(max)
SELECT @LastMeasureId = "[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]" FROM
OpenRowset(
'MSOLAP',
'DATA SOURCE=L68F728326574; Initial Catalog=GMDR;',
'SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]} ON COLUMNS FROM [GMDR]');
[Code] ....
I have two customer tables in SQL Server, but some of the field names are not the same, that I need to synchronize. Here is how they are structured: (Table 1 is old and Table 2 is new)
Table 1 (900 records)
---------------
cust_code
cust_shipto_code
cust_shipto_name
cust_email
Table 2 (700)
---------------
custcode
loccode
custname
custemail
1. First I need to find out what records exist in Table 1 but not in Table 2 and add them to Table 2.
2. Secondly, I need to then find all records in Table 1 that match the records in Table 2 and update the Email address in Table 2 with the data from Table 1.
Any suggestions on how to do this sync?
I am tryign to sync two tables that are in two different databases. It is suppuse to update the record in the [orgloc] table if the customer ship to name has changed in the [opcshto] table. The cust_code would be the unique identifier. in both tables.
this is what I have:
UPDATE [r2lprospector].[dbo].[orgloc]
SET [r2lprospector].[dbo].[orgloc].[custshiptoname] =
[cimpro1].[dbo].[OPCSHTO].[cust_shipto_name]
from [cimpro1].[dbo].[OPCSHTO], [r2lprospector].[dbo].[orgloc]
WHERE [cimpro1].[dbo].[OPCSHTO].[cust_code] = [r2lprospector].[dbo].[orgloc].[custcode]
I keep getting an error though. The error is:
Server: Msg 8152, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I have 3 tables with their columns: [Articles] > ArticleId, ArticleText [Categories] > CategoryId, CategoryText [CategoriesInArticles] > ArticleId, CategoryId I created a stored procedure that has the following inputs: ArticleId, ArticleCategories ArticleCategories is of type NVARCHAR(Max) and has categories in CSV format: "Category A, Category B, Category C" I have a function, CSVTable, that creates a table with all the categories. I need to make a kind of synchronization: >
Update all categories for the given ArticleId. If any Category is no
longer associated with any ArticleId (In CategoriesInArticles) then
remove it from table Categories.
Hi,
I am trying to create a type of synchronization but I am having a lot of problems to make this work.
I have 3 tables:
CREATE TABLE Articles (ArticleId INT, ArticleText NVARCHAR(512))
CREATE TABLE Categories (CategoryId INT, CategoryText NVARCHAR(512))
CREATE TABLE CategoriesInCategories (ArticleId INT, CategoryId INT)
Consider the following tables content:
Articles Table
ArticleId ArticleText
1 Game ended 1-1
2 Book Review
Categories Table
CategoryId CategoryText
1 Sports
2 Entertainment
CategoriesInArticles Table
ArticleId CategoryId
1 1
2 2
I need to create the following procedures:
CreateArticle
Create Procedure [CreateArticle]
@ArticleText NVARCHAR(512),
@ArticleCategories NVARCHAR(MAX)
As
Begin
...
End
This procedure should the the following:
1. Create the article in table Articles
2 .Use the function CSVTable that returns a table with all the categories contained in @ArticleCategories.
For each category check if there is already one with the same CategoryText in table Categories.
If there is just get the CategoryId and add a new record into CategoriesInArticles with ArticleId and found CategoryId.
If there isn't any then create the new Category into table Categories and then add the new record to CategoriesInArticles.
DeleteArticle
Create Procedure [DeleteArticle]
@ArticleId INT
As
Begin
...
End
This procedure should the the following:
1. Delete the article in tables Articles and CategoriesInArticles given its ArticleId
2 .Delete categories from table Categories that are no longer associated with any other article (in table CategoriesInArticles)
UpdateArticle
Create Procedure [UpdateArticle]
@ArticleId INT,
@ArticleText NVARCHAR(512),
@ArticleCategories NVARCHAR(MAX)
As
Begin
...
End
This procedure should the the following:
1. Update the values into Articles Table
2 .Use the function CSVTable that returns a table with all the categories contained in @ArticleCategories.
I think the easiest way is to delete all the categories from ArticleId as it is done in DeleteArticle.
Then It creates the new categories as it is done in CreateArticle.
Consider I create a new article:
EXEC CreateArticle @ArticleText = "Book launched at sports event" @ArticleCategories = "Entertainment, Business"
The tables would become:
Articles Table
ArticleId ArticleText
1 Game ended 1-1
2 Book Review
3 Book launched at sports event
Categories Table
CategoryId CategoryText
1 Sports
2 Entertainment
3 Business
CategoriesInArticles Table
ArticleId CategoryId
1 1
2 2
3 2
3 3
NOTE: Because there is no category named Business in Categories this must be created.
Then I would updated it:
EXEC UpdateArticle @ArticleId = "3" @ArticleText = "Book launched at sports event" @ArticleCategories = "Sports, Tech"
The tables would become:
Articles Table
ArticleId ArticleText
1 Game ended 1-1
2 Book Review
3 Book launched at sports event
Categories Table
CategoryId CategoryText
1 Sports
2 Entertainment
4 Tech
CategoriesInArticles Table
ArticleId CategoryId
1 1
2 2
3 1
3 4
Note: Since Business category is no longer used by any other article then it is also deleted from Categories.
The new Tech category is then created and associated with the updated article as well as the existing category Sports.
Finally I would delete it:
EXEC DeleteArticle @ArticleId = "3"
The tables would become:
Articles Table
ArticleId ArticleText
1 Game ended 1-1
2 Book Review
Categories Table
CategoryId CategoryText
1 Sports
2 Entertainment
CategoriesInArticles Table
ArticleId CategoryId
1 1
2 2
Note: Since Tech category is no longer used by any other article then it is also deleted from Categories.
The Sports category is not deleted from Categories since it is used by Article with Id=1
Well, I hope I didn't miss anything and I explained it well.
I have been trying my code, either by creating a separate procedure named SynchronizeCategories or inside the Create, Delete and Update procedure.
Until now I was not able to make this work.
Here is the code I use in my SynchronizeCategories procedure:
INSERT INTO CategoriesInArticles(CategoryId, ArticleId)
SELECT c.CategoryId, @ArticleId
FROM Categories c INNER JOIN CSVTable(@ArticleCategories) ac
ON c.CategoryText = ac.String
LEFT JOIN CategoriesInArticles cia
ON c.CategoryId= cia.CategoryId
WHERE cia.CategoryId IS NULL
INSERT INTO Categories(CategoryId, CategoryText)
SELECT cia.CategoryId, NULL
FROM CategoriesInArticles cia
JOIN [Categories] c ON c.CategoryId = cia.CategoryId
INNER JOIN CSVTable(@ArticleCategories) ac ON ac.String = c.CategoryText
WHERE c.CategoryId IS NULL
DELETE c
FROM Categories c
INNER JOIN CSVTable(@ArticleCategories) ac ON ac.String = c.CategoryText
LEFT JOIN CategoriesInArticles cia ON c.CategoryId = cia.CategoryId
WHERE cia.CategoryId IS NULL
Could someone, please, help me out with this?
Thank You Very Much,
Miguel
Please can somebody help me with the following:
Our company has an enterprize site (a very large one). From time to time we need to make changes in it. In other words, we had to synchronize one database (local where we make all changes) and database on hosting. So, we did it manually (wrote scripts and inserted them in database on hosting). But as the databases grew it became impossible to synchronize everything manually. So we need some tool which could cope with this task. The problem is that, as I know, there are many tools which can do it, but we are tight in time and can't evaluate them all. Please share your ideas on what tool is worth evaluating?
Thanks in advance.
Please we need help in the next Scenario:-
- Head office SQL Server 2000 including main database (huge db for about 8 systems).
- 8-10 branches with small database (for 3 systems only).
- No connection available between all offices.
1- In daily basis we need to transfer all transaction updates done in all offices to update the main database in head office.
2- After updating head office we need to transfer the last case in 2 or 3 tables to all offices again.
3- There are some common tables, managed in head office only (usually not changed), in case this tables changed for enhancement or anything else, we need to transfer this change to all offices.
NOTE: No connection available every where, therefore we need hand carry solutions as soon as possible and please tell me in details as you can because the time is too short.
Using a web interface, I am placing text into a SQL database. From timeto time, I would like to synchronize one of my other tables in thedatabase with the table that I am inserting content into. What is theSQL command to synchronize these tables? I will be initiating thiscommand through a web interface, so I cannot use enterprise manager.Thank you very much!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to replicate my database with table like this:+-----------------+
| Table |
+-----------------+
| ID |
| Distributor ID |

At table above you can see that I have a field called Distributor ID. The scene like this, I have 4 distributor that have replication of my database. Each day they synchronize database from distributor (lets call they A, B, C, D) into my server. So at the server have data with Distributor ID A, B, C, D. But if an distributor want to download its data from my server, they only have data with their ID, for example distributor A have synchronize their data with me and now want to download the data from me, so I only send data that only contains Distributor ID A, so that A can not see data from other distributor (B, C, D) that rule also applied for B, C, and D.
The summary simple like this, I have all Distributor data (data from A, B, C, D) but each distributor only have their own data if they download from me, A only have A data, B only have B data, so on).
Thank you.
I am new the Replication service.
If I have 2 server A and B. A has a table named "Table1" and B has a table named "Table2". The schema of table is same.
Could I do the replication (E.g. snapshot) from A Table1 to Table2 in B? If yes, how?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have an Access database that updates each 5 minutes with data from a weather station. As you can imagine the access database is becomming huge, so I would like to get that data into SQl Express to make queries faster and better connectivity with visual webdeveloper.
There is no way I can get the data directly into the SQL Express database, as the vendor only supplies a tool for MySQL and access through odbc.
Is there a way to sync the access database and my SQL Express each 5 minutes?
And off course not manual
Thank you...
I am attempting to follow the example from VB.NET 2005 on synchronizing and SQL Database and an SQL Mobile 2005 db.

The error I get is "An incorrect or unsupported HTTP function call was made." and I have not been able to find any referiences to this error directly related to SQL M 05.
Any help wil be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a little problem. I need to synchronize data from two tables with different table structures meaning they may or may not have the same column name and/or table name. I have read a lot of midware tools which I can use but is there a way inside sql server where I can do this? And this synchronization should be automated. Like when I update one table, it will automatically update the other table with the data that was changed. I know I can manually update the records but is there an automated way that I can do this? I have also read about integration technologies supported by sql server like ssis and replication but it seems complicated and I dont have the luxury of time to learn these. But if these can be the answer to my questions then I guess I dont have a choice. Please help. Newbie in sql. Thanks!
I made application (using .NET) to transfer data using PDA via GPRS and
then upload data to database server. The data not update old data but make
new insert new data to database server.
If we use USB to synchronize data from PDA to database server, we can use merge
replication. But i still confused how to synchronize data, if we transfer data from
PDA via GPRS, then insert to database server???

Hi,
First post on the site, yippee! So first of all I'm not a DB pro but occasionally need to hire someone, and to do this properly I need to understand the basic workflow.
Could really use some advice on comparing and synchronizing 2 different SQL databases in different geographical locations..... need updates from website A SQL database to be automatically updated to website B in as close to real time as possible. The whole database doesn't need to be transferred every time, only specific information regarding personal profiles and their activity on the other site. The end result would be that users can login to their profiles any time on either website and see up-to-date reports on their activities/results.
I know it would be much easier to host both databases on the same server but for various reasons this is not an option.
The past day was research into all the various SQL DB synch software. Having a hard time finding unbiased viewpoints...
First of all is there any reliable and secure open source alternatives? I searched sourceforge and found 'SQL Server DB Compare and Synchronize', but it doesn't seem to have full automation.
Also found a few paid for solutions through other forums such as 'Red Gate' products but they would cost upward of $3-500
I need something that is secure and reliable, don't mind a bit of customization but would prefer a solution out of the box.
any advice/articles/reading material/recommendations would be greatly appreciated
have a nice day :) Derek
Hi,
I have the following scenario:
There are 3 web applications in a local network which all have a local copy of the same database. Each of them can alter their local database (just the data, not the structure), and every time that happens the databases of the other applications should be updated immediately.
Are there any solutions out there for that? I found that most tools like slony only mirror one master database to multiple slaves, but I want every database to be able to be the starting point.
There could also be a central sync server, like in subversion..
Greets,
Patrick
Hi,
I have a scenario which I need to implement at my work.
I need to maintain one Central SQL Server DB and multiple non central SQL Server DBs at different locations. Here the same DB schema is maintained at Center & non Central SQL Servers. The requirement is: each non central DB has to synchronize with the central DB and has to update the Central DB with the changes made locally.
Here the challenge is the intermittent connectivity between the DBs. The connection is not guaranteed to be alive 24 hours a day. It may go down frequently also. I would like to know the possible ways to handle my situation (i.e. synchronization). And also please suggest me if there is any support with the SQL Server DB itself.
Thanks,
Kishore
i have 2 DB in 2 different servers.
db1 and db2
db1 gets 150k records every hour. db2 is like the backup of db1. db2 is used to retrieve records to create reports using reporting services.
what is the best way to synchronize db2 with db1?
is it to create a dts package and set up a job that runs every hour?
off topic question.
what kind of language does reporting services use to create the reports?
i have 2 db's that are totally different except that they both have a table users and I want to make it that anytime the user table is updated or added to in one db - that it is copied over to the other db.
is this possible?
