Dynamically set Analysis Services Connection Manager in a Fooreach loop [SSIS 2008]

I am storing connection strings for "Analysis Services Connection Manager" in a database table and on run time i am fetching them all, storing in an object and iterating through them inside a Foreach loop. Variable gets updated with a new connection
string in each iteration but somehow my "Analysis Services Processing Task" fails with "Invalid Connection String" Error.
Is there any way we can set set Analysis Services Connection Manager Dynamically. I can done this with OLEDB connections and that works. But somehow it's not working for Analysis Services Connection manager. Can anyone please share his/her experience ?
Many thanks

The trick is in using a configuration

  • Retain Same Connection = True - Property Set up for Connection Manager in SSIS 2012- Please help!

    Hi,
        I have a solution with 20 packages.  Target Database is same for all the packages, only target tables are different. All are working fine.
    Now,as part of a new requirement,I have to change some logic in one of the packages.I have to create few 'Global Temp Tables' on the fly and populate some data into it and use those tables for update and delete in both control and data flow.
       Since I am creating and using Global tables on the fly, I have to set up 'Delay Validation = True' for the package and the DFTs.
    Then, most important thing is, I have to set up 'Retain Same Connection = True' for the 'Target database' connection because only then, I assume,the package will not throw errors like 'Tables are not available'.
    My doubt is, if I change the Retain Same Connection = True, will it create any issue for the other packages, as all other packages are using the same connection manager.
    I am using SSIS 2012.
    Thanks for your help!
       

    Although 'RetainSameConnection' is a property of the Project Connection Manager, it only works within a package, but as soon as an other (child) package starts, you will loose the connection.
    Safest option is probably to use a separate package connection manager.

    Hi,
    If you are trying to create a new OLAP Intelligence Report using SQL 05 I am afraid you are out of luck.
    You will need to get a copy of the Productivity Pack (Available for Download in Subscribenet) .
    Also, in your SQL Server Sufrace Configuraiton manager try setting Analysis Services to Allow Ananomous connections. This will make sure you get a little further initially. (Dont leave Anonymous on)

  • What permission required to Browse Cube in Analysis Services.

    Hi 
    I have a request where user want to browse cubes in SSMS for analysis services. I dont want to give him (Full control administrator) . when i tried other permission read / process data then he is not able to browse cube.
    Even if give him full control role then while rebuilding cube these permissions will removed.
    How can i give user access to just view cube , there meta data , objects in ssms
    Thanks Saurabh Sinha
    http://saurabhsinhainblogs.blogspot.in/

    Hi Saurabh,
    According to your description, you are trying to grant browser permission to the users without success, right?
    Roles are used in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services to manage security for Analysis Services objects and data. Cube access by a non-administrator requires membership in a role created for the database containing the cube. Membership is supported
    for Windows user or group accounts, defined in either Active Directory or on the local computer.
    So in your scenario, please ensure that the grant permission steps are correct, you can refer to the links below to do it.

    Hi All
    We are facing issue on our SQL Analysis services 2012 (11.0.3381.0) on windows 2008 R2.

    Hi Saurabh,
    Please elaborate your scenario or OLAP Server environment with more detail. What's the method you used to load the SSAS cube?
    For this issue, I would suggest opening a case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) (http://support.microsoft.com), so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist you in a more efficient manner.

  • MS Excel cannot read the Roles definition on Analysis Service cube

    Hello,
    While using Analysis Service connection via Excel, apparently it does not automatically provide Roles or EffectiveUserName in the connection string based on username/password we provide. We must manually edit the connection string.
    Does this thing already defined as bugs, or there is other explanation ? Is there any related with this ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Prayijana,
    In your scenario, you said that you need to manually edit the connection string for different users to connect to SQL Server Analsysi Services Multidimensional database, right?
    When using excel to interact with a SSAS cube, we can use the default settings "Use the authenticated user's account". In this case, excel will use the current account to connect SSAS cube. If the account has a matched role on the databse,
    then he can access to the cube.
    If this is not what you, please provide us more informantion, so that we can make further analysis.

  • Custom Connection Manager only works in 32bit- 0xC0011008: Error loading from XML

    I have a very basic / stripped connection manager with only one property (SSIS 2012). It works fine in design time (you can open the connection manager editor and change the value), but in runtime it only works in 32bit mode. The runtime-validate-method
    does work, but if everything validates OK then in 64bit it throws an error when you run the package:
    Exception deserializing the package "The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information

  • Does analysis service process task honor dynamic connections?

    simple question.. I have a ssis package which contains analysis service process task.. it went well in the dev env. Now, I've deployed to production and connection manager was set by configuration tables.. however, it seems to me that the connection manager
    on production is still pointing to the dev env... any workaround? 
    thanks

    Hi cat_ca,
    To achieve your goal, we can combine the Environment variable Configuration with SQL Server Configuration. In short, we can create an Environment variable type Configuration to define the connection string for the Connection Manager that is used by a SQL
    Server Configuration to connect to the SQL Server configuration table. To create such an Environment variable Configuration, we need to create a system Environment variable on each server to host the connection string for the corresponding connection manager
    such as:
    Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
    Besides, we need to make sure the Environment variable Configuration is above the SQL Server Configurations in the Package Configurations Organizer list.

  • Analysis Service Process Task Connection Manager

    hi there, I was trying to use this Process Task inside SSIS to process Dimensions and partitions. The connection string for the AS connection manager is through a configuration file and value is
     Data Source=10.50.30.71;Initial Catalog=ORDERDW;Provider=MSOLAP.5;
     (Notice that there is no user name and password provided)
    To my surprise, when I run it under SSDT 2012, the connection was tested ok and package was actually runnning withour error?  Why as it does not make any sense? Under which credentials is this package running as it definitely needs username/password
    to connect to AS server.  Thanks

    Hi SMV123,
    We can find the collation settings for Analysis services in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Connect to the SSAS instance from within SSMS->Right click on the instance and select Properties->An Analysis Server properties page will appear. And then

    Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

  • How to remove the date extensions from a filename in SSIS Flat File Connection Manager dynamically at run time

    Hello,
    I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
    ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
    don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example:  MyFileName201410231230  (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
    Thanks,
    jkrish

    I don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
    have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
    I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server.  In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
    remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
    I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
    Thanks,
    jkrish
    You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
    Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
    And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

  • Set SSIS variable = database connection manager name

    Is it possible to set a SSIS string to only the name of a database connection manager or even the connection string it uses ? I don't see an option for that in Evaluate as expression property of ssis variable.
    This is what I mean - 
    SSIS Connection manager name = SQL_DBASE
    SSIS String str_managerName = SSIS Connection manager name: Can you do this dynamically in SSIS ?

    I'm guessing what they really want to do is evaluate some indicator (some input from a user or an infrastructure setting) and then dynamically connect to any one of 10 (arbitrary example) database servers based on what they get as input.  They
    don't care about the connection manager per se.  What seems reasonable is the that the Connection Manager might take a server variable but if they wanted to do things like that they would have bought Datastage.
    You might try attacking this problem at the Control Level and then connect to the database you want based on a variable you set.   I'm seeing that a Sequence Container can branch on the contents of a variable. 
    Or if the dba is your friend you might get the dba to add all your servers as linked servers to a central connection machine and then you might be able to do this by putting the ssis variable in a "Sql Command from a Variable" variable. 
    It might look something like this:
    Server is designated in ssis var @[User::Machine]
    then executing from a variable
    "select top 100 * from " + @[User::Machine] + ".mydb.dbo.mytable"
    Be careful as hades about levels of indirection and what quotes you want at what level.  Evaluate Expression in ssis helps with this.  The syntax I show works only with an ms sql connection server to a remote ms sql server.  This is what a
    dynamic connection to a linked server connection to Oracle would look like:
    "select * from
    openquery("+ @[User::Machine] + ",'select * from oradb.oratable where rownum < 100')"
    When ever a thousand of your best friends are helping you connect to your database (using tools like linked servers as opposed to direct connections) it's probably best to use with only small specific updates or queries, large queries or large
    updates would probably take a long time and or might not finish.  But try it before you give up.   We are actually doing fairly large Oracle queries (5-10 million rows) through ms sql linked server.
