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:

Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

  • 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 OLAP report with Crystal Reports and SQL Server Analysis Services 2005

    Post Author: orahc_mao
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hi!
    I am currently using the trial version of the Crystal Reports XI and I wanted to do an OLAP report. The problem is I cannot select a cube using "OLAP Connection Browser" (the popup window). I already selected Microsoft OLE DB Provider and entered the server name but still can't connect.
    I don't think the problem is with SQL Server Analysis Services (2005) since Microsoft Excel - Import Data can detect the server as well as the cube I have created.
    I also tried the "Database Expert" of Crystal Reports, created an OLE DB (ADO) connection with "OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0" driver, entered the server name, checked the integrated security and then I can readily select the database created at SQL Server Analysis Services. However, I still need the OLAP grid create the report but it goes back to my original problem... selecting a cube.
    I hope somebody would help me with this issue.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
    You'll have to discuss with that person.
    If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
    Thank you

  • Accessing Analysis Services MultiDimensional cube data with Power View in Excel

    At this point in time, does Power View in Excel have the ability to connect directly to an Analysis Services multidimensional cube?
    If not, is this functionality expected in the near future?
    davidg12

    Hi,
    As far as I known, the Power View for Excel does not support the feature yet, please see this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj969574.aspx
    I copied part of the article here:
    Native support for Power View            
    With this release, multidimensional models support analysis and visualization by using Power View in SharePoint mode. No special configuration of your multidimensional models is necessary. There are however some differences in how multidimensional model
    objects are displayed in Power View compared to other client tools such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Performance Point.
    This release does not support analysis and visualization of multidimensional models by using Power View in Excel 2013.
    ====
    We may use Power View for SQL Server 2014. For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • The schedule in Power BI report refresh error with the powerpivot or powerview with SQL Analysis services as data source

    In the Power BI Admin Centre, the data sources that cannot be setup with Analysis services, and it has the error to schedule the powerpivot or powerview report to have data refresh. The error is "我們無法重新整理此報表中的資料來源種類。" - english, "We
    can not rearrange the source of information in this report types ." We would like to know the power bi schedule function can support SQL analysis service or not. Please advise. Thanks.

    It is not currently supported. You might be able to create a linked server in SQL to be a proxy for the connection and enable scheduled refresh if you are desperate.

  • Permanently change default error configuration in Analysis Services 2005

    Hi,
    Currently, I am working on a BPC 5.1 application.  The data for this application is loaded(inserted via SQL statement) right to the FACT table and then a full process is run for that cube via an SSIS package using the Analysis Services Processing Task.  Often records are loaded this way where a dimension member for some of the records has not been added to the Account dimension yet.  These records after loading are considered 'orphan records' until the accounts are added to the account dimension.
    This loading process is used because of the volume of records loaded(over 2 million at a time) and the timing of the company's business process.  They will receive data sometimes weeks before the account dimension is updated in BPC with the new dimension members.
    If I try and process the application from the BPC Administration area with these orphan records in the FACT table, the processing stops and an error displays.  Then when I process the cube from Analysis services, an error is displayed telling me that orphan data was found.
    A temporary work-around is to go into the cube properties in Analysis Services 2005, click on Error Configuration, uncheck 'Use default error configuration' and select 'Ignore errors'. Then you can process the application from BPC's Administration page successfully.  But, the problem is that after processing the application successfully, the Analysis Services Error Configuration automatically switches back from 'Ignore errors' to 'Use default error configuration'.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to permanently keep the 'Ignore errors' configuration selected so it does not automatically switch back to 'Use default error configuration'?  Prior to BPC 5.0 this was not occurring.
    Also, does anyone know why this was changed in BPC 5.0/5.1?
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Hi Glenn,
    I understood the problem but I can say that it was a bad migration of appset from 4.2 to 5.0.
    Any way they are using a dts package to import data into our fact table. That's means they have to add another step into that package where they have to do the verfications of records before to insert into fact table. Verfications can be done using the same mechanism from our standard import. Just edit that package and add similar steps into customer package.
    Attention you need somebody with experience developing DTS packages with for BPC to avoid other problems.
    One of big benefits from 5.X compare with 4.2 was the fact that we are able to use optimization schema and aggregations for cubes.
    Heaving that orphan records it is not possible to use optimization schema for cubes and you are not able to create good aggregation into your cube.
    So my idea is to provide all these information to customer and to try to modify that package instead to enable that option which can cause many other issues.

  • 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.

  • 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 :
    Internal error: An unexpected error occurred (file 'pfshcollation.cpp', line 323, function 'PFCollation::Init'). (Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services)

    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.

  • SharePoint Performance services requirement- SQL analysis services

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question I was hoping someone would verify the answer to. One of the requirements for setting up Performance Point services is for there to be a SQL analysis service instance that sharepoint interacts with. This is particularly true if want to create dashboards
    that are Dynamic(Please correct me if I am wrong).My question is, must SQL analysis in sharepoint mode be used instead of any other form of SQL analysis services, for performance point services to work at all or is it the case that other forms of
    SQL analysis services mode( ie Tabular and Multidimentional) will work but function will be limited?
    Thanks,
    Dominic 

    Hi Dominic,
    According to your description, you need to know if SQL analysis in SharePoint mode is must or we can use other form of SQL analysis services in PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint Server, right?
    PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint Server 2013 supports PowerPivot models as a data source. You can use data in a PowerPivot model and build interactive dashboards using PerformancePoint Services features such as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Scorecards,
    Analytic Charts, Analytic Grids and Filters. So if you need to use PowerPivot models as a data source, then first you need to install PowerPivot for SharePoint which is an Analysis Services instance.
    In your scenario, what do you mean by "other form of SQL analysis services"? Pleas elaborate it, so that we can make further analysis. Here are some useful links for you reference.
