All,
I 'm using 'Analysis Services Processing Task' as part of a SSIS package to refresh the cube. in the property page,
the 'loggingMode' is set 'enabled', but there is no records in the sysdtslog90 table while all other tasks are logged in the table. How to logging into the sysdtslog90 table?
Thanks in advance

I have an Analysis Services Processing Task in my SSIS package. I run the SSIS package using SQL Server job, the running of the package is a job step.
When I process manually the analysis services objects (in practise cubes) using dtexec utility I get a lot of log. In case the processing fails I get error messages that quite well describe the error. But when I run the job the only information I get in the job log is that the job step failed. I know the failure happens in the Analysis Services Processing Task.
Is there any way in SSIS to get a) the log of the Analysis Services processing or b) the error messages of the Analysis Services processing? Or should the processing be done some other way than I've been doing?
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,
Hi. I have an Analaysis Services (2005) cube with four dimensions and one fact table (with three partitions - 2006,2007,2008) for which I need to create an SSIS package to process. I only want to process one of the three partitions (2008) - the previous two years should remain unchanged.
This is what I have currently in the Analysis Services Processing Task under Processing configuration:
- An object for each of the dimensions with "Process Full."
- An object for the 2008 partition with "Process Full."
(Note - Under Process Options, I see only Process Default, Process Full, Unprocess, and Process Data for dimensions and partitions).
Batch settings are:
- Processing order: Sequential
- Transaction mode: All in one transaction
- Dimension errors: Ignore errors
- Process affected objects: Do not process
When I execute the package, the cube loses the 2006 and 2007 data.
I am assuming that I have an issue with the Process Option or the Batch Settings, and I would appreciate any guidance!
Thanks,
Marianne
Hi all, here is my problem:
The last node of my workflow in SSIS is an analysis Services Processing Task, which is supposed to fully reprocess a cube, defined in a different project.
In the configuration, I found the correct cube and setups for it, I thought I wasn't gonna have any problems with it, but it started to complain about user and password information. I thought since the databases configured itself when I added them, the same thing would happen with this Task.
I do have my own user and pass which has permissions to reprocess the cube, although I thought windows authentication would be better then setting up a user and password for the application/task.
I looked in the entire configuration pane and found no information regarding username and password.
Where should I set it up, my SSIS solution or the Cube's solution?
This might be a newbie question, I'm not quite sure...
EDIT: Here is the error message:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: The following system error occurred: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. .
Hello
I am trying to run Olap Cube 2000 inside SSIS project.
I am using "Analysis Services Processing Task" Object.
The Visual Studio Project is sitting on the machine where the
analysis 2000 is running but yet i get an error while establish
a connection to the Analysis server.
On that machine also install MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005 .
the error is:

Does Anybody have an idea to why i get this Error.

We have an Integration services package that executes a few TSQL tasks, then processes an Analsys Services database. This has been in production for about three weeks now and twice the package has failed with this error from the event log:

I don't think that this error is accurate because the package and Analysis Services are on the same server.

I have an olap database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process all the dimensions and cubes in "A" olap database.
I created "A1" olap database copy of "A" and made copy of "P" SSIS package as "P1"
I opened "P1" SSIS package and updated olap connection properties "Initial Catalog = A1". A1 is my new olap database.
When I run package "P1" guess what? it processed "A" olap database's cubes and dimensions. Try it, not in production because I did it in production.
We have set up an IS package to process an AS 2005 database (comprising cube & dimensions, etc) daily, via a SQL Server Agent job on both development and production systems. This has been working fine for months.
A new dimension was added to the cube on the development system - automatic processing via the IS package continued without issue. However, when the new dimension was added to the production system the IS package no longer processes the cube correctly. Although all appears ok (and all is present and correct in the logs), no data updates to the cube are made. Only when the cube is manually processed does the cube get updated.
Anyone got any ideas about how to get around this issue? We have created a new IS package, with a single Analysis Services Processing Task, and tried this but get the same outcome.
I am trying to execute an SSIS package from a client that contains an Analysis Services Processing Task in the package. The client that does not have SSIS and SSAS installed. We are getting an error
The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. The same package runs from a server that has both SSIS and SSAS installed. Let me know if someone has come across the same problem.
Thanks
We find that if we deploy the OLAP database with a different name on the test server, then regardless of how we change the connection string provided to the SSIS package that processes the cube, then the package fails to connect to the database. To clarify:
In development the OLAP database is called MyOlapDB and the source database is called MySqlDB. Both are on the same machine. When the the application is built and released for test, the test team install the databases on a replica of the production environment (i.e. web app on one machine, OLAP DB on another and SQL database on yet another). They also, quite rightly, implement the new test databases so they incorporate the build version number. So, MyOlapDB123 and MySqlDB123 are both from build 123.
This is when the problems start. Regardless of how the connection string is specified in the job that processes the cube, the SSIS integration package fails with the error:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with the ID of 'MyOlapDB' does not exist in the server with the ID of 'OurTestServer', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
We have tried config files and job properties, but neither work. Also, simply attempting to run the package using the DTEXECUI does not work either.
Looking inside the XML of the package, we clearly see the ConnectionManager object which has the original connection string, which is
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyOlapDB;Provider=MSOLAP.3;Integrated Security=SSPI;Impersonation Level=Impersonate;
However, editing the initial catalog here still does not solve the problem. Searching the XML for the string MyOlapDB reveals the OLAP database name in two other places - both within the object data of the two Analysis Services Execute DDL tasks.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without having to hack the XML of the package?
Hi there,
i have got a SSIS Package, that contains a sequence container with transactionoption "required". Within this sequence I placed different AS processing tasks and different SQL tasks. The transactionoptions of these tasks are set to supported.
My problem: in the case a SQL task fails on execution, all executed tasks are rolled back except the AS processing tasks. The expected and necessary behavior should be, that also the AS processing tasks get rolled back.
Has anyone got a solution or a workaround for this problem?
Thanks.

Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine
" No specific cube it fails on
" Have created a Dimension only package, same problem
" Changed the maxmemorylimit
" Changed the connections to localhost
" Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs:
Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2
4GM ram, 2GB paging file
SQL Server 2005 + Service Pack 2
Can anyone help?

Hi everybody,
I'm fairly new to the SSAS/SSIS world (though not new on databases, etc.) and I'm having some problems with the SSIS packages in our Cube environment.
Currently in our SSAS/SSIS project, we have two major connection managers, one to the database we use for loading the Cube, and the other connector for the cube itself. To load the data from the database to the cube, we wrote some SSIS packages and used the Analysis Service Processing tasks to process all the dimensions and measures. This works pretty good, so no problems here.
The real problem starts, when I try to change the connection parameters, e.g. because the server changed, or the database has been renamed.
As soon as the connection managers points to another (existing) cube, regardless if the structure is exactly the same as the one of the old cube, the tasks lose all the assigned objects from their lists. It is really annoying to add all these exactly same objects to the task again. I tried experimenting with the DelayValidation attribute so the Development Studio doesn't destroy my work every time, but when I deploy the package the Cube breaks. Obviously some kind of deeper connection is destroyed when I change the connection string.
Is there a way to prevent the package from breaking/losing objects, without me having to sacrifice 15 minutes every time I change the connection parameters?
Regards,
Tris

Hello SQL World,
I have created a DTS package which should process an Incremental Update OLAP Cube ... however it is generating the following error message ... HELP has anyone seen this before ?

Have an SSIS package running great in 2008R2. It generates several flat files based on inline database queries. The first step of the package inserts a record into a log stats table and the last step of the package updates this record with the package name, run time and execution status. Now I need to add the records counts for each flat file to the log table.
Is there a way I can update one field for run counts with each of the counts for each file. So the [run counts] table column would look something like:
file1: 43522
file2: 645367
file3: 7883
Is it possible to store the record counts and flat file names in variables then concat them at the end when updating this record?
Or, is a better way to just insert/update a new record for each flat file step and log the counts for that file for its own record?
In either case, how I can capture the file count and pass that to the update statement.
Hi There,
I've got this error coming up while running the sql job for AS processing. I can't find anything about it on google or anywhere else. Has anyone had issues like this?

Hi All,
I have a problem with scheduling an Analysis Services task.
When I execute the DTS package from EM, every thing works fine.
When I schedule the package from SQL Agent, I get the following error when the job executes:
Error = -2147024770 (8007007E)
Error string: The specified module could not be found.

I am running SQL 2K SP3a with Analysis Services 2K SP3a on WIN Server 2003 Std Edition
Any ideas or suggestions?
I have been trying to get an SSIS package to allow me to set as a variable the actual script for running an Analysis Services DDL, want to perform a restore of a cube. Our environment is different for the location for DEV/QA/ and Production, so when I schedule the task to run I want to have the script needed, really just the path to where the backup lives.
Can someone give a solid solution for this? I have not tried to store parameters in a SQL table, but it would seem this is something that can be done through a variable. I have created a package variable and set the value inside and it runs, but if I try to change the value when I run the package it does not set the value I want.
Under Set Values of the package when I go to run I set the following:
Package.Variables[User::RestoreScript].Properties[Value]
I get a warning saying: "Warning: Configuration from a parent variable 'RestoreScript' did not occur because there was no parent variable collection.
I also have another variable to set, but same issue.
How to use the "Analysis Services Execute DDL Task" in SSIS to stop or start the Analysis Services.? Many thnaks.

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

In the SSIS Analysis Services processing task, I was wondering if
anyone knows why some dimensions do not have the Process Update option
in the list of options for processing them? If there is
only Process Full, Process Data, and Unprocess, I am not sure how
I can do incremental updates without scripting.
Also, will this affect the cubes if a full process is performed?
Any help is much appreciated!
I have many worker systems logging data to a central database.
The central database needs to periodically process all that data. During this processing time, new records can't be added part way through and the workers still need to log the data somewhere.
I was thinking of the following approach:
1) Rename the table the worker logs to. Let's say from LogTable to ProcessingTable
2) Immediately create a new and empty table for the worker to log to (LogTable). Possibly wrap this and the preceeding rename step in a transaction which may provide some atomicity.
3) Process the ProcessingTable
4) Drop ProcessingTable.
To the db experts here, does this sound like a decent approach or are there problems with this?
Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I am facing issue with partition processing. I am having a SSAS cube which is having 5 partitions. These partitions are processed through a sql server job using SSIS packages. In packages I used SSAS process task to do this.Now problem is, job is running successfully and showing that the step which is having partition process also fine.But data is not updating in the partition. While checking the partition properties, it is not updated with recent date and time.
When I try to manually process the partition, it is getting succeeded and recent data is getting reflected with recent date and time.Package configuration is done in job itself.

Hi,
Is it true that I need Analysis Server to simply log the queries being sent to my databases?
I am not familiar with SQL server. In MySQL it is a simple checkbox setting; when I check it, all queries reaching the database(s) are written to a file. But accomplishing this in SQL Server is not so easy, so it seems. I read that I need Analysis Server to do this. I only bought the database, so I will have to purchase it. But I am not sure that this is, in fact, what I am looking for. I need a file that contains something like this:
01/08/2008 14:19:21 UserNameDbName: SELECT name, telno FROM Customer WHERE country = 'Netherlands' AND name LIKE '%bicycle%'
I need the queries exactly as they are sent to the database, from any (type of) client. Can Analysis Server provide this?
Thx,

I have designed a cube. It has two fact tables and some dimensions. Fact table to fact table is many to many relationship.
For example
FactMain
DataKey(PK), StartDateKey, PostCodeKey, TotalCost
FactBridge
DataKey(FK), ProductKey(FK), Position - PrimaryKey on DataKey + ProductKey + Position
DimProduct
ProductKey(PK), ProductCode
Cube is built successfully, processed successfully.When I try to process the cube from agent job, I am getting error "Attribute key not found: tablename, value..." I have added a job step to run AnalysisServices Command. I have taken the command from cube process script(taken from manually process the cube and take script generated). I used ProcessAffectedObjects = "true" in the script. When I checked the tables, the key does exist. Why am I getting this error?
1) Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing:
Table: 'dbo_Dim_x0020_Document_x0020_Type',Column: 'Item_x0020_No_', Value: '1100'. The attribute is 'Item No'.
How can I resolve this on package level.
2) I am also not able to see all the fields of a fact table when creating cube, where I can se all fields in dataview.
We plan to process our SSAS Cube nightly after our data warehouse is loaded (SSIS package) using an SQL Agent Job.
1. What is the best option to automate the processing of our cube?
2. Can this be added to our SQL Agent Job?
3. As we will only be adding new dimensions and fact records, will be use Process Add?
4. Does the initial load require Process Full?
5. How can we configure a processing option before the automated execution?
