Analysis Service in cluster

Hi
I have 2-node active/active cluster. I have installed 2 SQL instances (one
per node).
Now I want to install Analysis service in cluster for datawarehouse . I have
some questions regarding this.
1. Should I have seperate cluster group to be created for this? if so, how
many disk drives would be required for that group (recommendations).
2. Should I give different instance name for analysis serviceor I can be
same instance name as SQL instance.
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay

1. Create a separate cluster groups and add Disk to it ... I would start
with one disk or more depending on how you have laid out the DW
2. For the instance - I would recommend a different name
Thanks

Ensure you have applied SP3. I'm pretty sure there is an MDAC upgrade.|||Hi

I have already upgraded with the patch but still does not work

analysis manager question - cube

Hi!
I have a large table (5 Million records) and want to make a cube with 20
dimensions on that.
That 20 dimensions are from 3 other tables (150000 records, 500 records,
200000 records) joined with my large table and 10 dimensions from my large
table.
That tables are daily truncated an new data records are imported with dts
jobs.
Now I build a view on sqlserver 2000 with that tables joined another.
Than I build an analysis manager my cube based on that view. My 20
dimensions I created in that cube directly (new dimension) also based every
one on that sqlserver 2000 view.
Now my questions:
1. is there a better way to create my cube and dimensions?
2. what must I with my cube and dimensions do that on the next day my new
records are also in the cube?
Thanks for ideas!Hi Hubert,
Microsoft recommends to create views on which the dimensions and facts is to
be build.Create the views with the same level of data grain and build dimen
sions.
Once the dimensions and facts table are joined together, process the cube wi
th the "Full Process" option. For the new records to be appeared in the cube
, go for "Incremental update" or "Refresh Cube".

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file failed

Hi

I have a problem when I want to open a page with the database record. This page is created in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I try to open a page I get the following error message even though the connection between the database is ok:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\membership\App_Data\aspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I have a computer with Windows XP Professional running IIS 5.1 and ASP.NET 2.0.
Also I have SQL Express on my machine.
Does any one know how to resolve it.
Thanks

Here is the entire error message that I am getting:

More information about this error. My web site works fine when I run it on this built in Asp.net Developer Server that comes with Visual Web Developer. I don't know why it doesn't work on my IIS 5.1 Server.

Any suggestions?

AMO: Looping to delete partitions

Hi

I am trying - in AMO code - to loop over the partitions in my different measure groups and drop these. But apparently I am not allowed to do it with the following code, since I am modifying the collection which I am looping (because I drop the partitions which exist in the collection).

....

For Each oMeasuregroup in oCube.MeasureGroups

For Each oPartition in oMeasureGroup.Partitions

oPartition.Drop()

Next

Next

...

Can anyone help me with a solution? Thanks.

Hi,

You need to iterate over the partitions collection with integer index.

PartitionCollection partitions = ...;

for( int i=partitions.Count-1; i>=0; --i )
partitions[ i ].Drop();

AMO Security Scripting Problem

Hi!

I have a little program that creates roles for a catalog and cubes. The roles is created fine and all the read permissions on the different cubes as well. Also adding different users to the roles is no problem.

Then when i look in BIDS( open analysis services database) everything looks exactly as it should. However, the different roles does not work for the users that are added through the script. But, if i manually add a user to one of the created roles, it works for that user. Anybody who knows what is going on?

The roles both have users and user groups in them.

You say "However, the different roles does not work for the users that are added through the script."

What script you are talking about? How do you generate the script? What doesnt work exactly?

Edward.

|||If you 'script' a role, the script just contains the names of the role members, NOT the permissions. Those permissions are stored in the cubes and dimensions themselves. So be carefull by changing permissions with scripts. It was not clear from your description if you just wanted o add users, or you created new roles as well. In the latter case, this can be an explanation, in the former case, you must have bumped onto another problem as well.|||

Hi!

This is basically what i do.

Role role = _oDb.Roles.Add(_sRoleID);

role.Members.Add(new RoleMember("domain\user");

role.Update();

Cube cube = _oDb.Cubes.FindByName(sCube);

if (cube != null)
{
CubePermission cubeperm = cube.CubePermissions.Add(_sRoleID);
cubeperm.Read = ReadAccess.Allowed;
cubeperm.ReadSourceData = ReadSourceDataAccess.Allowed;
cubeperm.Update();
}

So it′s not any advanced type of security, just read or not read a cube. If i then look at this role, by opening it with BIDS(opening the cube online, not a project), it looks fine. All the users are there and the read permissions and so on. But the users can′t access the cubes. If i then delete a user from a created role, and then add it again by hand, they can access the cube. So the role works, but it is like it does not like the programmatically added user names, even though they are exactly the same as when i add it by hand. And i don′t think it is all that different from this bol entry

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345081.aspx

However, i just saw something in that entry that i missed. And it was the DatabasePermission which i don′t do anything with. It might be that, i will check. But that has Role as input so the deleting and adding a user by hand on a role should not affect that or BIDS does that under the covers or something?

Full of shame and have a appointment whith the eye doctor.

It was the databasepermission that was missing. Thanks!

Amending a stored procedure

Hi

I have a stored procedure that I have deployed with a database to an sqlserver. To access the database and the stored procedure I am now using SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I was amending the stored procedure locally, I simply "opened" it, made the amendments and then "saved" it. With S.M.S.E. if you click on "modify" a SQLQuery opens up and then after making the amendments you can save the SQLQuery. How do you go from here to effect that change to the stored procedure resident on the sqlserver.

Chris

I've worked out that all I have to do is run the query after amending the stored procedure detail.

Chris

|||

When you click the Modify button, it should show you the stored procedure and it will have an ALTER PROCEDURE command at the top. This just tells the database that you want to overwrite the existing stored procedure with whatever text follows. So, if you click the Execute button (it should have an exclamation mark next to it) the command should execute against the database and your stored procedure will be updated.

Alternative to DTC? - SSIS Transactions - Quick Question

Hi:

I would like to have my SSIS tasks to be transacted, but due to infrastructure issues in our network, cannot utilize DTC, because our SQL Boxes are situated where the DTC cannot communicate. Are any other alternatives? Is it a feasible alternative? Please let me know. Thanks.
