hello!
i'm looking for resources on database analysis. my main questions are:
how does one determine the primary key of a table, and, how does one
determine the relationships between the tables?
if you know of any tips, books or websites, i'd love to know. my
current skills for such quests are mainly looking at field names and
data and trying to figure out visio. if there are better approaches,
i'd love to learn.
thanks,

I've added SSAS 2014 to an existing instance with no apparent problems - except that I don't see an option to create a New Database on the right-click menu. Restore and Attach are there, but no New Database. I believe I have full admin rights.The SSAS instance is to be used by an end-user with the Excel Data Mining Add-in Table Analysis Tool.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use a SSIS task to add a role to SSAS cube? At the moment I use Management Studio, Right Click "Roles" under the cube and go through New Role wizard, but I'd like to be able to include this in a SSIS package instead.
Thanks

Is it possible to have more than one cube under one SSAS database? For example I have a database "Test" and in this the cube exist is "TestCube", is iit possible to deploy another cube "TestCube2" under the Test databse?
If yes then what is the process to do that, the reason I am asing is there are some common dimensions used n both the cubes and I am not sure what is the best way so that I can use the shared dimension?
On a given Analysis Server the machine level OLAP Administrators group controls which users have admin access to AS Databases and Cubes on that machine. From everything I have read, if you are in the OLAP Administrators group you have full access to administer ALL the databases and cubes.
We have a need to create a OLAP database and grant a few users (a role) full admin access to create and maintain datasouces and cubes within that database but NOT allow them admin access to the other existing databases and cubes on the server. This seems like such a common requirement. Has anyones else encountered and resolved this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a requirement to mirror our production database (or part/derivative of it). It is imperative that the mirrored database maintains a live copy of the production data. The data is financial data, so analysis of it requires latest prices, exchange rates etc.
One product I have looked at, and am very impressed with so far is DataMirror (www.datamirror.com). I have no idea of its price yet, as I'm waiting for a rep to contact me. In the meantime, does anyone have experience in this field with alternative products? Is there a free product that I should be looking at?
I am using MS SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance
Hi Everyone,
We have an Analysis Services database which has 9 cubes. Whenever I do an Archive/Restore it fails giving the following error:
* Unexpected error encountered while updating repository item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
* Restoration Cancelled
* DSO function failed
Please advise.

Hi
For strange reasons, I am now unable to backup (archive) any of the databases in Analysis Service. :eek:
When I try to archive, I get a dialog box with the following error:
"[MicroSoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
I am able to process my cubes and dimensions and am totally lost as to why I'm getting this problem :S
Will appreciate your help.
Thanks.

I have a TEST database which contains 1 cube.
I have created another cube and I want to add this cube to the TEST database also.
However when I deploy the cube it overwrites the database with the new cube and the old cube is gone.
How can I have the 2 cubes within the TEST database.

Hello All!
I have an Analysis Services Processing Task that executes all the database, but it executes first the cubes, and then the dimensions, and I need it to process first all the dimensions, and then all the cubes (otherwise I get an error)
Is there any way to configure it to execute the database in this order?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thank you!
I have a data dictionary report that is driven by measure and dimension description attributes in the SSAS project. Is there a way to generate some XMLA or something that allows me to update this "metadata" only without overwriting the database or requiring a full reprocess?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
How to right choose key column in"Mining Structure" for Microsoft Analysis Services?
I have table:
"Incoming goods"
Create table Income (
ID int not null identity(1, 1)
[Date] datetime not null,
GoodID int not null,
PriceDeliver decimal(18, 2) not null,
PriceSalse decimal(18, 2) not null,
CONSTRAINT PK_ Income PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID),
CONSTRAINT FK_IncomeGood foreign key (GoodID) references dbo.Goods ( ID )
)
I'm trying to build a relationship(regression) between “Price Sale” from Good and “Price Deliver”.But I do not know what column better choose as “key column”: ID or GoodID ?
It is possible to create Analysis Services project (*.dwproj) in Visual Studio 2012 Data Tools?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using
SSAS: version 2008
Excel: version 2013
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.
Hi all,
How can I Import a database from Analysis Services database to SQL SERVER using SQL SERVER 2005.
forexample the Adventure Works DW database from Analysis Services to SQL SERVER database.
Any ideas will be higly appreciated.
Thanx
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not understand why an SSAS cube disappears after a reboot. We schedule a reboot for our server weekly and after the reboot. I have to deploy my SQL server Analysis Database. It is just gone after a reboot and why this happened. I searched a lot on internet but it seams that I am the only one on this world with this issue.
How I can configure the server in such a way that the SSAS cubes will not disappear after a reboot.
I have a requirement to make all of my KPI goals configurable by the end user - I would like to add the data to my datawarehouse so that it is updated in the cube whenever the cube is processed. I'm thinking I will need a table for each KPI that includes two columns (I will be setting goal by year):
Year
Value
In my cube I then create a measure group for each KPI (for some I will add a calculations to break down the yearly goal to lower levels of detail).I will add each measure to my Dimension Usage and relate to each of my time dimensions at the Year level.I currently have around a dozen KPIs - my above approach seems a bit messy i.e. requiring a table and measure group for each KPI (I guess I could at least put them all into one table in my relational db).
We have an application that takes an existing cube, clones it and then updates it in C#.
Database dbTarget = dbSource.Clone();
dbTarget.Name = databaseName_Target;
dbTarget.ID = databaseName_Target;
dbTarget.DataSourceImpersonationInfo = new ImpersonationInfo(ImpersonationMode.ImpersonateServiceAccount);
sSAS_CalculationServer.Databases.Add(dbTarget);
dbTarget.Update(UpdateOptions.ExpandFull);
We are receiving the following error when trying to Update the cube (the last line of code)Cannot update the 'Database' object 'DB Cube_Temp', it needs to be part of a connected Server object.
We couldn't find a way to show row/column members in the order as in the database. The Pivot table always applies alphabetical sorting:
Is there really no way to show items as per database order?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am very new to SSAS. I have two queries:
1) As per my project requirement, if the changes in SSAS cube are approved, they should be committed back to the actual SQL Server 2012 tables. Is that possible, if yes how?
2) For rolling back to original data I truncate the relevant writeback table and process the cube.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have deployed my SSAS project to an Analysis services database on a SQL 2014 server instance using the "Development" build configration in Visual Studio. In order to avoid users accessing the development instance of the cube, I've created an additional "Release" build configuration and deployed my project to a different database on the same server. I've also created a production copy of the data source and changed the data source configuration of the production cube to point to this one.
I've provided the same domain service account on the "Impersonation information" tab of the data source for both the development as well as the production instance of the cube. This account has also been granted identical permissions for both data sources. While everything works fine with the development database, processing the production database fails with an error message saying that it cannot connect to its respective data source.
I'm using VS Ultimate 2013.4, SSDT 12.0.50318.0.
I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.
What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.
