Capturing Usage Analysis figures

  • Short of a screen capture, is there any way to get at the data behind the Usage Analysis Wizard's reports?

    I'm interested in capturing the data to track usage of the cube etc. Does SQL Profiler have the ability if the repository has been migrated to SQL Server?

    Thank you!

    --dao

  • The data of the Usage Analysis is saved in the access database: msmdqlog.mdb under then bin directory of the AS.

  • What if one has migrated the repository to SQL Server 2000?

    -dao

  • Found out what I need. Used the 'OpenQueryLogRecordset' method off of the DSO com object.

    There is sample code for using the method in the BOL.

    FYI: The repository is different from the query log. If you migrate the repository to SQL, AS still stores the queries in Access.

  • Yeah I noticed that the query log was still in Access.

    I am able to get the chunk of software I wrote in VS dot-net to read the log, but now i'm finding that the log is apparently getting reset under certain criteria. We have a SQL Agent job running DTS scripts to process the cube's data nightly. If i process the cube outside of this process, the log does not get reset, but i'm wondering if the DTS script is doing something to reset it.

    Gotta love the documentation on the query log 😉 (saracasm...)
