I am unable to see following SQL Server Analysis Services in central admin services after the SQL 2014 power pivot installations

Hi Ravi,
Per my knowledge, there is no Analysis Service in SharePoint.
After running the SQL 2014 setup to install PowerPivot for SharePoint, you need to open the PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 Configuration tool in Central Admin Server and configure PowerPivot for SharePoint.
After that, you will see new Service Application called "Default PowerPivot Service Application" in Central Administration.
If you have other WFE servers, then you need to install the PowerPivot Add-In on all the other servers in the SharePoint farm.

I cant re-start sql server (2008 developer) on win 7 workstation after enabling tcpIP -- been running fine for a year

I had successfully installed sql server 2008 Developer edition on a win7 pro workstation about a year ago. I has been running fine for the last year (locally and running .Net 4.5 framework). All services (RS, Analysis) running fine.
Then today someone decided to enable tcpIP and went to services to restart the server on my workstation but it would not restart. I ran repair from the sql server installation center x64 - still nothing - the server wont restart. But Analysis server and Reporting
services work fine -- these services can restart fine ... Just not the main server. I'm also running Sql Server express. that runs OK too. But I need my sql server 2008 Developer to run. I looked at the system event viewer -- it said this:
The SQL Server (SQLDEVELOPER) service terminated with service-specific error The specified module could not be found..
I went to Control panel ... services and looked at the properties for Sql Server Developer -- the path was listed as:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLDEVELOPER\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe" -sSQLDEVELOPER
Everything in windows explorer appears to be in order. How can I restart the server? Do I need to uninstall it and then reinstall it? Any suggestions appreciated.
I rebooted the entire workstation a few times already also, but still server won't restart. What to do?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error with SQL Server Analysis Services.
Did you have installed PowerPivot for Excel on a client machine and modeled a database as part of this workbook?
The refresh in question is about refreshing the embedded Analysis Services database with data retrieved from the backend sources (defined when the database was originally modeled) and resaving the updated workbook. It should not be confused
with Excel / Excel Services options to refresh the data connections in the workbook. That option is about refreshing data stored in Excel’s caches. With regards to PowerPivot, that would be refreshing from the embedded database, not the backend data from which
the database was sourced. In summary, this feature will not work against a workbook which does not have an embedded database because there is no database to refresh. This is by design and should not be interpreted as indicating that there is something wrong
with your system.
More information:

For the error “The data connection uses Windows Authentication and user credentials could not be delegated. The following connections failed to refresh”.
There are multiple causes for this error message. The common factor behind all of them is that Excel Services cannot get a valid Windows user identity from a claims token in SharePoint.

[Forum FAQ] How do I create calculated measure using AMO in SQL Server Analysis Services?

Introduction
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you can create a calculated measure in SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT)/Boniness Integrated Development Studio (BIDS). Sometimes you may need to create calculated measure by using AMO in a C# or VB project.
In this article, I will demonstrate so how to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS?
Prerequisites
Before create calculated measure using AMO, you need to ensure that the following components were installed in your server.
The multidimensional database AdventureWorks Multidimensional Model 2012
A SQL Server with SSIS and SSAS installed
The AMO libraries installed:
X86 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
X64 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
Solution
Here is the detail steps to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS.
Open SSDT and create a new SSIS project.
Drag Script Task to the design surface.
Click SSIS-> Variables to open the Variables window and add two variables that used to connect to the server and database.
Create a connection to connect to SSAS server.
Rename the connection name to ssas.
Double click the Script Task to open Script Task Editor.
Add Connection and Database variables to ReadWriteVariables textbox and then click Edit Script button.
Add AMO reference in the Solution Explore window.
Copy the script below and paste it into the script.
Dim objServer As Server
Dim objDatabase As Database
Dim strDataBaseID As String
Dim objCube As Cube
Dim objMdxScript As MdxScript
Dim objCommand As Command
Dim strCommand As String
objServer = New Server
objServer.Connect("localhost")
objDatabase = objServer.Databases("AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-EE2")
strDataBaseID = objDatabase.ID
If objDatabase.Cubes.Count > 0 Then
objCube = objDatabase.Cubes("Adventure Works")
If objCube.MdxScripts.Count > 0 Then
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts(0)
Else
objCube.MdxScripts.Add("MdxScript", "MdxScript")
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
End If
objCommand = New Command
strCommand = "CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Multipy Measures By 3]"
strCommand = strCommand & " AS [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] * 3, "
strCommand = strCommand & " VISIBLE = 1 ; "
objCommand.Text = strCommand
objMdxScript.Commands.Add(objCommand)
objMdxScript.Update()
objCube.Update()
End If
objServer.Disconnect()
Then you can run this SSIS package to create the calculated measure.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Need clear steps for doing performance tuning on SQL Server 2008 R2 (DB Engine, Reporting Services and Integration Services)

We have to inverstigate about a reporting solution where things are getting slow (may be material, database design, network matters).
I have red a lot in MSDN and some books about performance tuning on SQL Server 2008 R2 (or other) but frankly, I feel a little lost in all that stuff
I'am looking for practical steps in order to do the tuning. Someone had like a recipe for that : a success story...
My (brain storm) Methodology should follow these steps:
Resource bottlenecks: CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks
tempdb bottlenecks
A slow-running user query : Missing indexes, statistics,...
Use performance counters : there are many, can one give us the list of the most important
how to do fine tuning about SQL Server configuration
SSRS, SSIS configuration ?
And do the recommandations.
Thanks

Hello,
There is no clear defined step which can be categorized as step by step to performance tuning.Your first goal is to find out cause or drill down to factor causing slowness of SQL server it can be poorly written query ,missing indexes,outdated stats.RAM crunch
CPU crunch so on and so forth.
I generally refer to below doc for SQL server tuning
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd672789(v=sql.100).aspx
For SSIS tuning i refer below doc.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137622(v=sql.105).aspx
When I face issue i generally look at wait stats ,wait stats give you idea about on what resource query was waiting.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps. But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
use the BI features of SharePoint?

Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

SSAS(SQl Server Analysis Services).

Hello Sir,
We have created an OLAP cube using Business Intelligence Development Studio(BIDS) with
SQL Server Analysis Services(SSAS) using our data Source which is working fine & for reporting we are connecting the cube with
MS-Excel through data Connections & we are able to generate the reports with the cube data by filtering & Customizing according to the requirement of reports within the same server instance. But when we want to deploy the cube onto
the different server (basically on users server) to generate the respective reports we are facing problem. As the end user is not going to have access to the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio how can we deploy the cube. As, we are using ODBC
connections.
As this is our first project through SSAS, we kindly need some support to proceed forward.
So, Please find the Queries related to the enclosed description as above.
Queries related to SSAS Cube:
What are the steps involved to deploy a OLAP cube created in one server to another server?
Is there any third party tool required for it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
The following link tells you what you need to know; -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166576(v=sql.105).aspx
I confirm you do not need a third party tool to deploy a cube and empower your users to access this cube.
So in summary; -
Within your Analysis Services solution within BIDs; -
1) Right click your mouse over the Analysis Services database icon, which is immediately below the solution icon.
2) Select the sub tab "Deployment".
3) Enter the name of the server you need to deploy to.
4) Click "OK".
5) Right click your mouse (again) over the Analysis Services database icon, which is immediately below the solution icon.
6) Select "Deploy"

SQL Server analysis service command does not retry in agent job

Hello,
I'm working on SQL Server 2008 R2 version. I have scheduled a SQL server agent job to process analysis service cube using an analysis service command. Sometimes this job fails due to network load. So I set this job to retry 2 times after 10 mins interval.
There were no retry attempts when job failed. There was no error message.
I simulated this scenario using simple analysis service command which I intentionally set to fail. That's right. It's not retrying for analysis service commands. Any workaround for this ? any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anush87,
In your scenario, you had set that the step to retry 2 times after 10 mins interval. However, there were no any retry attempts when job failed, and you can reproduce this issue, right?
Since there is no any error message, it's hard to give you the root reason that cause this issue. Based on my research, so many other people had encountered this issue which you can see on the link below
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/543acccb-f107-420b-9652-53856c9137bb/sql-server-agent-job-retry-not-working?forum=sqldatabaseengine, you can you can submit a feedback at the link below
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback
So that Microsoft will confirm that if this issue is a bug in SQL Server Agent job.
However, in order to troubleshoot this issue, you can query Agent job information to ensure the job configure settings are correct, you can refer to the link below to check it.

SQL Server Analysis Services not showing in Services on Server on Central Admin

Hi All
We have a Sharepoint 2013 farm set up (2xApp, 2xWeb, 1xSQL) and we have a number of excel powerpivot workbooks deployed and refreshing.
This was all working fine, until recently when our Excel 2013 Tabular workbooks stopped refreshing manually. This had worked fine in the past, but now is giving the following error:
"An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source"
The first thing I wanted to check was that the "SQL Server Analysis Services" was started in Services on Server within Central Admin. However when i navigated to check this, I noticed that the service was no longer listed at all.
I checked the Analysis services for Powerpivot is running on the server and it is registered within Data Models on Excel services.
There was recently some Windows updates that were applied to the servers, but i'm pretty confident that the refresh was working after these, however i cant rule out 100%.
Hoping for any advice on what I can check/do here?
Thanks!

When i try to run that tool i actually get a strange error (we are running Enterprise Edition):
"PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 Configuration is missing prerequisites: SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition is required.
For more information go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=247828.
Please address the validation failures and try again."
Yes it looks like on the server hosting PowerPivot analysis server that a number of windows updates got applied. However
none look to be specifically about for SQL, and the 2 cumulative ones are for IE and Active X for Windows Server.

Upgrade SQL server 2008 r2 to latest available Service Pack in SP 2010 farm.

Hi,
We have 2 server's in the farm ( WFE+App server and SQL server).
We are planning to upgrade SQL server 2008 r2 to latest available Service pack [10.50.6000 (SP3)] version.
So before upgrading SQL server , need to take any necessary actions from SharePoint server side ?
And once patching is done on SQL server, need to run SharePoint Configuration wizard ?
Please provide best way for this upgrade.
Cheers,
RameshNK

You certainly can turn off SharePoint/stop IIS if you wish, but it isn't required. SharePoint will be unavailable during a portion of the SP3 upgrade and will reconnect once SQL is back online.

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?

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.

Missing "Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services"

Hi
In my SharePoint 2013 Central Administration (this is a Project Server 2013 deployment), I got an alert for this error:
PowerPivot: MidTier process account should have 'Full Read' permission on all associated SPWebApplications.
After reading
this thread, I assumed I have the 2 accounts configured the wrong way, so I check
this article to see how to change the accounts, but on the section
"Change the account under which each service runs" it says to select
"Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services", which I can't find like as you can see in the screenshot below. How can I solve this? I'm new to this all, so if you could simplify the explanation I would be thankful, if not, I'll
just work on it anyway. :) Thanks!

Hi ,
In the process of configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, automatically select the Analysis Services for SharePoint Integration feature. After configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, we can see
SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server PowerPivot System Service are started on manage services on server. So you can verify whether analysis service is installed for SharePoint on manage
services on server.
More information, please refer to the links:

As Trevor said, for this issue, you can ignore it. Anyway, you can also check the link:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

SQL Server Analysis Services Filter web part.

Hi all
In a NTLM farm with 1 SharePoint and 1 SQL server, I am using clamis based authentication for Excel Services app in SharePoint Server 2010.
While all Excel documents work, I get error on "SQL Server Analysis Services Filter" web part.
The filter works when I am logged on the sharepoint server and open the Intranet to use it, but doesn't work if I reach the Intranet by not logging on the SharePoint server.
The error I get is on the filter web part:
"An error occured while retrieving filter values (The connection either timed out or was lost).
Anyone else that have had the same problem?
Any ideas to troubleshoot? :)
Regards

OK, I solved this problem with the following workaround: (Notice that the problem may be solved when you have completed just one of the steps, so be sure you make a test everytime you have completed one).
First:
Try changing your Excel Services Application File Access Method to
IMPERSONATE, that can be achieved in SharePoint Central Administration
-> Manage Service Applications -> Excel Services Application Settings ->
Global Settings. (Make sure the option for Allow Cross Domain Access is unchecked if you don't have a security certificate installed on the server, also in the most cases you don't need this option). Please take note of your Excel Services
Application ID.
Then modify your performance point data connection file in Excel, by oppening Connection Properties and in the Definitions tab, click on Authentication, set Authentication Type to Use a Stored Account and then write your excel services application ID in
the textbox labeled "Application ID", by default the excel services application ID is
"Excel Services Application" (no quotes), now click OK. Then click Export Connection File and overwrite current connection file in SharePoint.
(You may need to restart the Excel Calculations Service on Manage Services in this Farm page).
Second: (If before step doesn't solved the problem already)
Change the service account for the SQL Server Analysis Service to an account that have Delegation permission or change the current account to LocalSystem.
Third (If the other two steps doesn't solved the problem).
Check in SharePoint Central Administration if the service Claims To Windows Token is started, if not, just start it.
I solved the connection problem, but now When I get the hierarchies in the filter, I can not drill more than 2 levels down, in the third level it throws the following exception: "There was an error in the callback"

HADR Solution for SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2014 on Azure Iaas

Hi All
I am required to build a HA/DR solution for SQL Server and SSAS 2014 on Azure. So far I could build AlwaysOn high availability solution for SQL Server on Azure but haven't found any solution for SSAS.
Failover Clustering is not an option on azure because of the restriction of not been able to use shared storage. We also determined that the cost savings of using SQL + the cost of the 3rd Party replication tool was a wash (ie no real cost savings).
Any lead on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Viral Shah

Hi Viral,
A clustered implementation of SSAS can be configured in Microsoft Azure. Such a configuration would need to meet all the requirements stated in the following document including Active Directory and storage.
