Can T-SQL be used for reporting on Surface Area Configuration properties for Analysis Service and Reporting Services?

  • My requirement is to have an automated way of figuring out the settings of configuration properties for Analysis Service and Reporting Services.

    Can T-SQL be used for reporting on Surface Area Configuration properties for Analysis Service and Reporting Services?

    Or the configuration files are the only place that I could look into?

    Please help!

  • I believe that Surface Area Configuration settings are stored in the Windows registry, or, may be some in config files but not in the Database.

    Theoretically speaking you can use T-SQL to read and display them. However, you will need to create some executable or COM object which you will execute from T-SQL. Do you really want to do so...

  • Thanks Eugene. I guess I will stick to look at the configuration files which are in xml format! 🙂

  • You can upload XML files and analyse them using T-SQL
