Analysis services and Management Studio

  • Hi All

    I have a problem with sql server 2005. In analysis services in management stuido I can only create Database but I cannot do anything else. Not even assign data source etc. NOTHING!

    When I do a project in BI it is okay but I can not see also what I created in Management studio analysis services. I feel I am missing something. Please help

  • The objects (cubes, dimensions, etc) are created and published from BIDS. After you create the project, deploy it to the server. In BIDS, go to project properties, then deployment, set the server and database in target fields.

    From SSMS you can process the objects once they are published.

  • so the good old sql 2000 days are over. Thanks

  • Well, technically, you *could* create DB's, Cubes, dimensions etc from within SSMS but you'd have to be pretty well versed at writing XMLA scripts.

  • Thanks, I also have some cubes of sql2K. can you tell me how I could import them?

     

  • This link should give you a heads up on where to start, note it also has a link to the Migration Considerations, really worthwhile reading if you've got anything but very vanilla/standard cubes in AS2000.

    thanks

  • Is there no way you can use the object model instead? 

    If you really have to use an XML approach then it will definitely help if you can use another object model (like the xml objects such as xml writer etc) that come with languages like c# (but again, if you can use C#, then why not use the AS object model?)  For reference, what you're probably seeing is the name space declaration.
