Monitoring Processes on SSAS

  • Hello,

    Are there any queries or DMV's to see what's running currently on SSAS?

    Like we do sp_who2 or any of the DMV's on SQL SERVER.

    Typicall questions i get is ..

    We are running something from the front end(App) which creates dimension or sometimes analysis databases and when it comes to one of those steps it get stuck there...and they ask to see if everything is normal...or

    I dont see anything on the sqlserver except some processes in sleeping or suspended state...

    Thanks In Advance!

  • Starting from SQL 2005, SQL Server Profiler has the ability to trace what's currently running on the SSAS.

    I recommend using the profiler to begin with.

  • Have a look at "OLAP Heartbeat" - gives you a really cool graphical interface that shows the OLAP processes that are running.
