I was doing steps on page 15 / 16 of attached sheet
I was doing the microsoft example about cube to setup DSN SOURCE CONNECTION to ACCESS database (food mart) when i do a test it works
but after i do design storage and go to Process the cube
it gives me error
'test connection failed because of an error in initializing provide
(microsoft) ODBC DRIVER manager data source name not found and no default driver specified
one more error found
Microsoft ODBC DRIVER MANAGER driver sql connect attr failed: IMOO6
I am connecting to SSAS cube from Excel and I have date dimension with 4 fields (I have others but I don't use it for this case). I created 4 fields in order to test all possible scenarios that I could think of:
DateKey: - Type: System.Integer - Value: yyyyMMdd Date: - Type: System.DateTime DateStr0: - Type: System.String - Value: dd/MM/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture) - Example: 01/11/2015 DateStr1: - Type: System.String - Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture) - Example: 1/11/2015
Filtering on date is working fine:
Initially, in excel, filtering on date was not working. But after changing dimensional type to time, and setting DataType to Date, as mentioned in [URL] filter is working fine as you can see in the picture.Grouping on date is not working:
I have hierarchy in my Date dimension and I can group based on hierarchy, no problem. But user is used to pre-build grouping function of excel, and he wants to use that. Pre-build functions of Excel, Group and ungroup seems to be available as you can see in following picture:
But when user clicks 'Group', excel groups it as if it is a string, and that is the problem. User wants to group using pre-build grouping function available in Pivot table. I also find out that Power Pivot Table does not support this excel grouping functionality. And if I understood well, this pre-build grouping functionality of excel, needs to do calculation at run time, and that is not viable solution if you have millions of rows. So Power pivot table does not support pre-build grouping functionality of excel and hence we need to use dimension hierarchy to do the grouping. But I am not using Power Pivot table, I am using simple Pivot Table. So I expect grouping functionality to be working fine. Then I tried to do simple test. I created a simple data source in excel itself. And use it as source of my Pivot table. Then grouping is working fine. The only difference that I can see is (When double click the Measure value in Excel),For date values of my simple test, excel consider them as 'Date'.
For date values of my data coming from cube, excel consider them as 'General'
2.1. But value here is same as it was in simple test.
2.2. 'Date Filter' works just fine.
2.3. If I just select this cell and unselect it, then excel change type to 'Date' though for that cell.
2.4. I have created 4 different types of fields in my date dimension thinking that values of attribute of my dimension might be the problem, but excel consider 'General' for all of them.
2.5 This value (that can be seen when double clicking on measure) comes from 'Name Column' of the attribute. And the DataType defined is WChar. And I thought that might be the reason of issue. And I changed it to 'Date'. But SSAS does not allow it to change to 'Date' giving error : The 'Date' data type is not allowed for the 'NameColumn' property; 'WChar' should be used.
So, I don't know, what is the puzzle piece that I am missing.
1. Date filter works, group does not work
2. Excel consider it as 'General' string.
3. SSAS does not allow to change 'NameColumn' to Date.
I would like to know the best practice for running analysis service in terms of port usage. Is it better to run on a specific port or have dynamic ports ? We have clustered servers that run default on 2383 but not sure with non clustered what's the best way to get performance.
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Is there any method by which I can use Stored procedures in Analysis services. I have some procedures which uses Temprorary tables. I wanna use those procedures's columns. Is it possible?
I am running XP in the office and already have SQL's Enterprise Manager and Analysis services installed - which I can use to access the SQL databases on our office server.
Question: I have installed the desktop version of SQL on my machine and am trying to register the server in the Analysis Service Manager but no luck.
I give up, how do you start the Analysis Manager? SSAS is installed and running, but I just can't seem to find the button/shortcut/whatever to start the manager.
I was facing problems applying SP3 for Analysis Services so I removed it and then re-installed.
I then tried to apply SP3 but I am still getting v8.00.382 for AS (which represents SP1). I have tried a couple of things but it seems that SP3 is just not getting applied (for Analysis Services).
I have installed MS analysis service(OLAP) on my lap top
my user is in the Administrative group , other than that I tried creating a user with 'OLAP ADMINISTRATOR' privilate and tried to start the ms analysis service
I am getting the error , unable to start the service on server(), you are not a member of OLAP Administrators group
I tried to install the service pack 3 from Microsoft
Could you pleae guide me to start this serivice Thanks,
i have AAAA project create by BI, now i want to change my computer, so i get XMLA from AAAA project in BI and run it in analysis service XMLA query but it return follow error: Executing the query ... Either the user, PCHOMEmax, does not have access to the Analysis Services Project1 database, or the database does not exist.
Execution complete
i try another way: i click right mouse on my database from analysis service, so i choice "Script database as "--> CREATE to... and i get a new XMLA file so igo to another computer, and run it, SQL return follow error: Executing the query ... Either the user, PCHOMEmax, does not have access to the AAAA database, or the database does not exist.
Execution complete can i solve this problem. thanks
I am new to SQL Server and not quite understand the difference between OLAP server or SQL Analysis Service. Are they referring to the same thing?? An user asked me to confirm that the OLAP server is active on a server running SQL Server 2005, what do I need to check. The Analysis service is up and running, does it mean it is OK??
I created a SQL Server 2005 Analysis Service project. When I tried to deploy a standard Decision Tree model, it gave me errors (see below). Clearly, I can't use ntext data type with DISTINCT, but how can I change the SQL command since it was automatically created? What was the final impact of removing the DISTINCT word from the SQL command?
SQL queries 1 SELECT DISTINCT [dbo_Training_x0020_Data].[Hellos] AS [dbo_Training_x0020_DataHellos0_0]
FROM [dbo].[Training Data] AS [dbo_Training_x0020_Data]
Error Messages 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: The ntext data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable.; 42000.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition for our Team Foundation Server install. I have verified the installation and all seems well, except that the Analysis Services service does not remain started. I get a message like "Some services stop if there is nothing to do." The Analysis service needs to be running in order for the TFS install to succeed. How can I get the Analysis Services service to remain started?
I am new to Analysis Services. Do I have to schedule backups for Analysis Services databases just like I do for SQL Server databases? or do I just need to backup the C:Program FilesMicrosoft analysis ServicesBinmsmdrep.mdb?? Please help. Thanks.
I am new to Analysis Services, do I have schedule Analysis Service database backup job just like I do for SQL Server databases? Or I just need to backup the C:Program FilesMicrosoft Analysis ServciesBinmsmdrep.mdb file. Thanks in advance.
One of my users is supposed to have full access to all other dimesions except for one and thus I have defined a customized role on one of 4 dimensions that I have.
When I test the role (from the front-end), I am getting a strange message in my front-end and could it be that I also have to define a role for this user on all other dimensions? Should I define the role on the server or the client??? As you can guess, I am a bit confused and will appreciate your help.
1)Where do I do the dateDiff calculation, at report or cube level? 2)How do I work out which dates belong to the above groups? I'm assuming i have to check if the dateDiff lies between those numbers?
I have a big table with several types of transsactions: PO (Puchase Orders, SO,( Sales orders), INV (Invoices) .... I want to create cubes with only one type of transactions (1 cube for PO,...)
Where and how can I filter the rows I want to use in my cube ?

I have to install cubes on another machine (not on the same site/NT domain). I have archived the OLAP db and generated a .cab file.
I have retored on the destination server. It works fine in Analysis Manager console (I can process and lokk at the data). But when I want to access the cube from Excel using OLAP cube, I have an error msg.
Is there something I need to do on the distination server ? Langage, SP, role, version of SQLServer/Analysis services ...

Cristiano writes "hi everybody. A customer of mine has had a disk "crash" few days ago. I wrote for him a dwh application and of course the backup was not working...
now some "hardware guys" said that it is possible to recover most of the files.
what I need to restore would be: 1- the sql server db 2- the sql server dts and jobs 3- the analysis service cube and dimensions
to do so is it enough for me to have: 1- the .mdf and .ldf files 2- the master.mdl /.ldf file 3- the .odb file and .dim* and .role .map ... files
right? is it enough to recover everything? if it is so, what would be the right processes to recover everything? "
This one has really stumped me! I set up HTTP to connect to an Analysis Services cube within an ASP .NEt application. On inititial setup it worked well and I was able to connect and view the data in my ASP application.
However, for NO reason that I can see it is now coming up with the following error:
Either a connection cannot be made to the localhost server, or Analysis Services is not running on the computer specified.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Either a connection cannot be made to the localhost server, or Analysis Services is not running on the computer specified.
I have tried everything I can think of to fix it but can't get it to work. I have even gone through the technet document titled "Resolving Common Connectivity Issues in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Connectivity Scenarios" but it hasn't helped.
I am using SQL Server (Analysis Services) 2005 and ASP .NET 2.0. The application is developed in VS 2005.
I have created a cube with Analysis Service 2005. I then publish the pivot table (generated in Microsoft Excel 2003) as a web page. When I view the web page on the domain the LAN everything is working properly. But when the web page I view on Internet I get the error.
The query could not be processed:
* An error was encounted in the transport layer
* The peer prematurely closed the connection.
The web page is publish on the Internet Information Server, I changed the security directory of the website, but the error persists.
The firewall of the machine is disabled.
The port 2382 and 2883 are allowed.
The components needed to consult the cube are installed in the machine on which you are viewing the cube.
On the Rol of Analysis Service are allowed all users.
I have two problems while using a analysis service cube as data source for a reporting service report.
1.) I've an individual time dimension which has day entries in the standard date format "mm/dd/yyyy". When using an parametric entry for the date hierachy the reporting offers me all entries as a list (some 1000 entries). Looking under report parameters I recognized that the input parameter is listed as of the type string. However I know that the underlying field and as well the hierachy in the cube is of the format datetime. Change it to datetime causes the reporting service to fail with the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. The property 'ValidValues' of report parameter 'DIM...' doesn't have the expected type.
How can I use the parameter in the format datetime to restrict the time dimension? ...so that I can select the date over the calendar function.
2.) I have another dimension with the hierachy cycle which has the string format "year-month". I would like to use the selection of the date hierachy to create the restriction on the cycle hierachy. I.e. entering '01/16/2007' on the time dimension should write the value '2007-01' to a parameter which is then used to restrict the cycle hierachy. Experimenting with report parameters always caused the error message:
An error occured during local report processing. An error has occured during report processing. Query execution failed for data set 'DIM...'. Query (1,453) The restriction by the CONSTRAINED-flag in the STRTOSET-function has been violated.
As I only allow single value entries I thought about changing the STRTOSET command in the underlying MDX query into STRTOMEMBER. However this didn't solve the problem.
How can I create an input for a restriction on a dimension based on a parameter with a self constructed string?
I am trying to set up a SQL 2005 analysis server cluster in our two servers, AS02 and AS04. The server cluster is built up on Majority Node Set (MNS). During the installation of the analysis service, I don't see the available cluster groups. In the cluster admin, the cluster is up and running fine. The MNS cluster has no shared disk, and it has two nodes.
Any thoughts or suggestions? or is it possible to built the SQL 2005 analysis service cluster with MNS?
