Non Windows Credentials Sql Server Analysis Services

I am attempting to connect to an OLAP cube using power query from sql server analysis services, but without windows credentials.  Is there a way in which I can perform this action?  It doesn't seem to support this type of connection without using
windows credentials and I would like to use a different username and password.

Not today. It's a frequently-requested feature, so I expect we'll probably implement it relatively soon.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
    Applies to
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012

    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?

  • 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!
    orahc_mao

    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

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

    Is there anything that we missed?

    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.

  • 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"

  • 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"

  • Error when deploy a project in SQL Server Analysis Services

    Hi all, I tried deploy my project SSAS, but it send message error.
    This is image before deploy myproject, it is star chema of project.
    and this is the image when i try deploy it, error list.
    I want to complete my project. How i can fix error list??? Help me.
     

    Hi Anhlovevietnam,
    According to the error message, it seems that the Analysis Services account lack permission to access ‘QLTICKET’. By default, the default account for AS services has only public permission to few databases. If you haven't change the AS services account,
    or haven't grant the permission for this account, then you cannot deploy the AS project to server.
    So in your scenario, ensure the service "SQL Server Analysis Services" is running with a proper Log On As user. This user should have administrator permission on Analysis Services and the proper permissions on the database engine. To avoid this issue, you
    can grant the SELECT permission for the default account for AS services to data source DB. Or you can change the services account to this domain user who has the corresponding to the data source DB.

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

    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.
