Hi Rihan8585,
According to your description, it hangs when connecting SSAS and starting Analysis Services. Right?
In this scenario, please go to event view. Remove all old entries and Clear All Events. Then try to start the Analysis Services service. After that you suppose to connect SSAS successfully. Please refer to similar threads below:

"An error occurred connecting to this data source. Please check the data source for any unsaved changes and click on Test Data Source button to confirm connection to the data source."
Also getting the below error in Even Viewer.
"The Unattended Service Account "NTRUST\spadmin" does not have access to the server specified by the data source connection string."
I am using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, SQL Server 2012.I have started the below Service Applications.
1. Secure Store Service Application
2. Performance Point Service Application (Using Unattained Service Account)
3. Excel Service Application
4. Power Pivot Service Application
I have changed "web.config" in this location also."C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\WebServices\PpsMonitoringServer" "<bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0" />"
I am using the below connection string

I have assign the database creator rights in SQL Server for the user which i have used for Unattaned Service Account.
Everything has been configured correctly but still i am getting the above error. Anyone could tell where i have done a mistake. Its frustrating me like anything.
Thanks in Advance. Possible answer would be greatly appreciate.

Hi,
Please check whether activate the PerformancePoint Services Site Features.
Or try to increase the max limit for excel services to required level. By default its 10MB and the powerpivot files are much larger.
SharePoint Central Administration, and go to Application Management > Manage Service Applications > ExcelServiceApp > Trusted File Locations and click on the appropriate Address. Under the Workbook Properties section you will see a Maximum Workbook
Size.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

Database Engine, Reporting Services and Integration Services work fine. Any idea what's wrong with Analysis Services component?

I will reply to myself, that updating the SQL Server with latest updates solved the issue.

When i am connect to Analysis Services server in SSMS and right-click it, choose properties getting below error:

Hi Folks,

Hi Siva,
This error was descirbed on the FIx below.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889492
And it occurs on the following scenario:
You have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio installed on a Windows 8.1-based client computer.
You connect the Object Explorer panel to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in SQL Server Management Studio.
You try to select Properties for the instance of SSAS in order to view or change the properties of the instance.
However, you are using Windows Server 2012 R2. So as per my understanding, this issue may also occur on Windows Server 2012 R2, please try to apply the latest SP and CU and check if this issue persits or not.

Can't connect to analysis services

Hi,
After looking through the forum, I haven't seen the problem I encounter.
I am able to connect to the Database Engine, Integration services, Reporting Services but I can't connect to Analysis Services from SQL Server Management Studio although the service is running.
I am using SQL Server 2012.
I have the following error :

Hi Thush,
According to your description, you get the above error when connecting SSAS in SSMS. Right?
In Analysis Services, this error turns out to be a the data provider issue. I suggest you re-install the OLE DB Provider for SQL Server 2012.
On the Installation page, choose New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation.
On the Installation Type page, choose Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2012.
On the Setup Role page, choose SQL Server Feature Installation.
On the Feature Selection page, click Client Tools Connectivity. This option installs
Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla.dll
Do not select any other features.
Click Next to finish the wizard, and then click Install to run Setup.

Cannot connect to Analysis Services instance

Hi,
I'm new to analysis services and have been following through the tutorials here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170208(v=sql.100) for SQL Server 2008.
I've tried to deploy in visual studio 2008 and it gives an error saying it cannot connect. I've got sql server 2008 installed and I attached the 2008 Adventure Works database to my local default SQL instance. I can connect via management studio Ok. Also,
when creating the data source in visual studio I hit the "Test Connection" button which was also OK.
In management studio when I hit the connect drop down button in the Object Explorer, I get the option to connect to Analysis Services. When I do this it comes up with the server name "(local)" and uses Windows Authentication (I'm logged on to Windows as
Administrator). However, this fails with the following message "Cannot connect to (local). A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)"
I'm really stuck on this - has anybody got any ideas what might be going on?
Cheers

As Todd mentioned, check whether the SSAS Instance is running. Also check whether you have a default instance or named instance. In case of named instance you have to provide also the instance name, when connecting in the form (machineName\InstanceName)
or for local instance (locahost\InstanceName) or (.\instance name).
To determine instance name, launch SQL Server Cofinguration manager ans check SQL Server Services. The instance name is in the Parentheses listed.
If you have installed the instance and forgot to add yourselves as an administrator of the instance, and have UAC enabled, you have to Lanuch the SSMS as an administrator to rise the priviledges. Then connect to the instance and add your username explicitly
as administrator of the instance.

Opened a SSAS project through connecting to analysis service server.. now need to put into source control

hi there:
I've connected to a SSAS project using connecting to analysis service server ... After a few modifications, I'd like to save it under a different name and eventually get put into the source control...
Can someone tell me how to do that?
thanks
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Hi Cat_ca,
In your scenario, you can create a
Import Analysis Services 2008 Database project to import the AS database to the project, and then change the database name following the steps below.
Right-click the project and select Properties.
Go to deployment option on the left pane.
Change the Database name.
Then deploy the project to Analysis Services server. The screenshot below are for your reference.

Please help: how to connect to SQL Server Analysis Service (OLAP cube) with Crystal Re[ort XI

I'm trying to connect to an OLAP cube on our SQL Server 2005 machine which is running Analysis Services (9.0). When I am trying to use the Crystal Reports menu follow steps mentioned below:
1) New report -> Standard Report Wizard
2) Create New Connection -> OLAP -> Add
Source Type: MS OLE DB Provider fir Analysis Service 9.0
But when I click buttone 'Test', CR prompt me: The connection could not be establiched. Faild to set properties.
HOWEVER: I can connect SQl Server Analysis Server with Excel and other Report tools.
Our softwares are as mentioned following:
- OS: Windows 2003 Server
- SQL Server: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise
- Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Developer Edition
And SQL Server & Crystal Report are running in the same PC.
Any help?

Please re-post if this is still an issue with your OLAP Connectivity please post to Business Objects » Other Business Objects Products Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Creating MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services OLAP connection

Hello,
I am trying to add an OLAP data source in BI Publisher (which is part of the OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 suite I have installed). However, the connection never seems to create - I don't get an error or a success message when I test the connection. However, if I cancel out of the create connection screen, I get this error: "Your request was denied as you have no permission to access the data.". This is odd since the credentials I am using have admin rights to the OLAP cube I am attempting to connect to.
SETUP
OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 x86_64 bit Linux
MS SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services running on Windows Server Enterprise (32 bit) 2007 SP2
Windows users are able to connect to the Windows/SQL server via Excel 2007 and its built-in Analysis Services "Other Data Sources" option. Authentication is done via Windows Active Directory LDAP
QUESTIONS
1) In the BI Publisher connection screen, can I enter my AD username/password, or because I am connecting from a Linux Server, do I need to authenticate via a different method?
2) In the connection string, the initial catalog I am attempting to connect to has spaces in its name. Could this be an issue?
3) Given the "no permission to access data" message I am getting, is it possible I am reaching the SQL Server but need to set up a local database, non-AD account to access the OLAP catalog?
4) Are there any logs in the OBIEE server that I can check for more details?
Thanks!

Post Author: Sam Naghshineh
CA Forum: Olap
With the new productivity pack for Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 (Service Pack 2) you can access SSAS 2005 through the new OLAP tool called Voyager. The productivity pack is due out sometime in the next few weeks.
Hope this helps.

Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

Hello experts,
I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
URL: ***********
User: blank
Password: blank
Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
To create the URL, I have followed this link.
http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
cube.html
But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
Thanks!

Hi Alex
It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:
http://total-bi.com/2010/12/obiee-sql-server-analysis-services-cubes/
Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

MS SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) OLAP Connection - Dimension descriptions

Hello,
We are trying to create some reports on BO 4.0 on top of BPC 10 MS information.
In order to overcome some issues related to standard connector between BO and BPC (XMLA Planning and consolidation 10 for Microsoft platform), we created a new connection based on discussion MS SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) OLAP Connection - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
However we have a major issue with this approach. We cannot see on BO dimension member descriptions.
Is there anything that we missed?
Could you help?

Vitor Ramalho

Bill,
So, what you need is a model like SQL Server failover cluster instances. (before sql server 2012)
In SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn replaces SQL Server failover cluster, and it has been seperated to
AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server) and
AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
Since your requirement is not in database level, I think the best option is to use AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server).
As part of the SQL Server AlwaysOn offering, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances leverages Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) functionality to provide local high availability through redundancy at the server-instance level—a
failover cluster instance (FCI). An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes and, possibly, across multiple subnets. On the network, an FCI appears to be an instance of SQL
Server running on a single computer, but the FCI provides failover from one WSFC node to another if the current node becomes unavailable.
It is similar to SQL Server failover cluster in SQL 2008 R2 and before.
Please refer to these references:
Failover Clustering in Analysis Services

Connection problems to Analysis Services (local)

Hi everybody,
I can not access to "Analysis Services" in local way with SQL Server Management Studio. I get the following error:
"Unable to establish a connection. Make sure the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)"
"You can not establish a connection because the target machine expressly rejected that connection 127.0.0.1:2383 (System)"
I have checked the related services and they are running:
SQL Analysis Services (InstanciaName) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server (InstanciaName) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Reporting Services (InstanciaName) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Agent (InstanciaName) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Browser (InstanciaName) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
I have checked that the only port whitch is listening is the 2382, and not the 2383:
C:\Windows\system32>netstat /abo | findstr 238
TCP 0.0.0.0:2382 ServerName:0 LISTENING 2016
TCP [::]:2382 ServerName:0 LISTENING 2016
Any idea about what is causing the problem?
Thank you.
Best regards,

Thanks for your reply,
The list of services running is the following, before it was an example:
SQL Analysis Services (ALTIRIS) - En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server (ALTIRIS)
- En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Reporting Services (ALTIRIS)
- En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Agent (ALTIRIS)
- En ejecución - LocalSystem
SQL Server Browser (ALTIRIS)
- En ejecución - LocalSystem
ALTIRIS is my instancename.
When I try to connect, I put "(local)" in the SQL Server Management Studio, but I get the error.

Please Help me
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
The error I got in the OC4J window is : WARNING java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
However, I have now been able to login to BI Publisher as Administrator. What I did was uninstall the full OBIEE (Basic) installation, and instead installed the BI Publisher component only, (along with OC4J).
Works fine now, although I don't know why it didn't work with the full install. Any ideas?
