Processing of a deployed Tabular model inside SSDT

Hi,
operating inside SSDT, does it exist a manner to process a tabular model (or a table/partition) already deployed on the SSAS instance?
I know that it is possible to process only the workspace data.
Thanks

Hi Pscorca,
According to your description, you want to process data for a tabular model which had already been deployed on the SQL Server Analysis Services instance. When authoring your model project, process actions must be initiated manually in SQL Server Data Tools
(SSDT). After a model has been deployed, process operations can be performed by using SQL Server Management Studio or scheduled by using a script. So we cannot process data for a tabular model which had already been deployed on the SQL Server Analysis Services
instance.
If you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.
Thank you for your understanding.

  • Error about using a concatenated calculated column in a SSAS Tabular model

    Hi,
    in a my tabular model I've added in a dimension table a calculated column concatenating a code and a description. The code is used to create a relation between a fact table and this dimension table.
    When I try to use the tabular model inside Excel and select the concatenated column as a filter I've this error message:
    I've tried to recalculate some times the tabular database after the deployment of the model changes and I've tried to run a full process of the entire database but any results.
    Any suggests to me in order to solve this issue, please?
    Thanks

    Hi, I've solved. The concatenate formula was with "+" operator and not "&".
    But during the column creation I've any errors also if the model in SSDT was empty.
    Bye

  • Tabular model process-took 4 HOURS instead of normal 10 minutes

    There must be some sort of log I can view or review to get a better look inside the process?
    When I refreshed my development project (which is using the same server for workspace) it takes less than 10 or 15 minutes.
    Then I deployed it to my server and after 35 minutes I closed out of SSDT BI as it appeared to have frozen.
    I then deployed again with no processing.
    After that I processed manually through SSMS by using Process (but scripted out) for a process full.
    After 12 or so minutes most everything appeared to have processed and the last feedback was on:
    CREATE MEASURE 'PROFIT_WORKSHEET'[Less Cost Over Profit -Indirect Costs]=CALCULAT ..."
    I could see that the SSAS server was still working via CPU activity, but no futher messages were reported to SSMS.  Then after 3 hours and 45 minutes later it claimed to have completed and displayed: 
    "Execution Complete" (it had lots of white space above it, around 20 or so blank empty lines which was odd)
    The tabular model seems to be functional, and it is less than 350 MB in size (almost the exact same size of my development workspace model) so I am at a loss as to why the delay like this?
    Any suggestions, thoughts?
    It returned 40 million rows, but I have other models that return more and process in 3 or 4 minutes so it is very odd (and it isn't 400 million, just 40 million)
    Thanks!

    Hi OneWithQuestions,
    According to your description, you create a SQL Server Tabular Model project which takes 10 minutes to process in SQL Server Data Tools, the problem is that it takes 4 hours to process this database in SQL Server Management Studio. So you need the detail
    log that inside the process, right?
    In your scenario, you can enable SQL Server profiler to monitor the queries fired by the process, once you find some queries took a very long time to run, consider creating the smaller cube partition or optimizing the query by adding index or partition to
    improve process time.

  • Processing Tabular Model

    1  We are developing a Tabular Model. In this model there are likely to be about 15 dimension tables and 2 main fact tables.
    2  One of the fact tables is very large approximately 70 million rows and will increase to 150 million rows in about 2-3 years time.
    3  So on the cube we have created partitions and are using the incremental processing. What we have done is to create a partition definition table header and lines. At the header level we will store the name of the measure group on which we wish to
    create partitions, and in the lines table we will create the definition of each partition. Using an sp we will mark of those rows of the partition lines which we wish to reprocess. Such partitions will be dropped and recreated. So far this is working well.
    4  I want to generalize this solution so that I works across different projects without any changes.
    Now I have two questions :
    Question 1 :
    If I make changes in the tabular project and deploy the same, I believe all partitions will get deleted and all the data will need to be pulled in again. This will happen even if I add a calculated measure. Is there any method to overcome this ?
    Question 2 :
    What is the mechanism of only processing certain measure tables incrementally and all other tables fully ? In my above example only one table has partitions. So if I want to process only the current partition of that table, and all other tables how do I
    achieve this ?

    1) if you only add a measure or a calculated column, you do not need to read data from data source. If you have problem with deployment within VS, consider using Deployment Wizard.
    2) A complete description of process strategies is included in a chapter of our book (http://www.sqlbi.com/books/microsoft-sql-server-2012-analysis-services-the-bism-tabular-model).
    In general, you can control which partition/tables you want to process and in which way, using XMLA scripts, PowerShell and other tools. The easiest way to create an XMLA script is using the Generate Script feature in SSMS when you use the process wizard.

  • Using IF or SWITCH functions inside a DAX formula into a tabular model - SSAS 2012

    Hi,
    in a tabular model I've changed a DAX formula introducing the SWITCH function, but when I deploy the changed formula and open the Excel workbook the slicer connected to the pivot table doesn't highlight the slicer values involved as instead of old formula.
    Any suggests to me in order to maintain the right behaviour for the slicers when a formula is re-written using an IF/SWITCH functions, please?
    Thanks

    I think that is the default behaviour and I can find a few justifications for it too...
    For eg, if you have a complex IF condition, the measure will have to be evaluated for each value of the slicer for correctly finding the right values in the slicer to highlight, and that can make it REALLY slow.
    Also, sometimes there is no correct values to highlight. For eg, if I have the products in the slicer and have a condition like
    =IF(HASONEVALUE(Product[Product]),1)
    then which Product should be highlighted? There is no correct value as any one of the Product selected on it's own will display value for the measure. And more than one products selected will display no value. So no matter what you display/highlight on the
    slicer, there is no "correct" behaviour. In such a case, it is best left to display/highlight all values.

  • Error after process a Tabular model

    Hi,
    When I process a Tabular model, sometimes I have the next error
    "Error moving file '\\?\G:\filename.80.det.xml_TEMP_3804' to file '\\?\G:\filename.80.det.xml': ." I see in a XEvents trace that process finished ok and then throw the error.
    Does somebody know the reason?
    Regards,

    Hi Numer04,
    It's hard to give you the exact reason that cause this issue. However, you can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
    You can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer".  SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.
    The msmdsrv.log file for the SSAS instance that can be found in \log folder of the instance. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log)

  • Deploying SSAS Tabular Model (2014)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to deploy my model with Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Deployment.exe
    This works locally, but when I try on our test servers then it does not work.
    Strangely enough it tells me that it was all successful....
    Exactly the same result locally as on test server.
    but on my computer it is really deployed but on test server it isn't....
    Any one an idea how I could debug this?
    Kr,
    Sammy

    Hi Sammy,
    According to your description, you are using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Deployment.exe to deploy the tabular model. It can't deploy successfully on test server. Right?
    In this scenario, since the Deployment Utility didn't throw any error when deploying, the deployment supposed to be executed successfully. Please confirm you connect the correct SQL Server instance. Also please try to deploy via command prompt instead of
    using user interface. You can choose silent mode and it can generate a log file for your further analysis.

  • VS2010 SSAS Tabular Model Memory Limitation

    Hi,
    My laptop recently crashed and am currently using a loan one that has Windows 7 x32, Visual Studio 2010 SP 1 AND SQL Server 2012 SP 1 (CU 4) installed. It only has 4GB of RAM, and when I attempt to load a very large fact table in a SSAS Tabular
    Model project using Visual Studio I receive the following error:
    Memory error: Allocation failure : Not enough storage is available to process this command. . If using a 32-bit version of the product, consider upgrading to the 64-bit version or increasing the amount of memory available on the machine.
    The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
    Visual Studio 2010 is only available in 32 bit and I have already changed the VertipaqPagingPolicy from the default 0 to 2, but still the issue exists. Has anyone experienced this before?

    You have a couple of options in terms of removing the where clauses:
    1) Build your project in SSDT and then use the Analysis Services Deployment Wizard to create an XMLA deployment script, then edit the script to remove the WHERE clauses before executing it on your server.
    2) If this is a first time deployment change your project deployment options to "Do Not Process" - deploy your project and then edit the partitions for the tables with WHERE clauses to remove them.
    3) Another option is to use views in your relational database. Then you can put the WHERE clauses in the views on Dev, but exclude them in the Prod database.

  • Error while doing preivew in tabular model

    I added a new column to base view on which I have a tabular model. In order for me to see the new column I go to the table TAB in SQL data tools and from property window I click on the source and when I hit refresh it always error out with time a time
    out issue. But if I process the table first and then do a refresh from source it works. Don't know why is that and how can I fix it.
    Moyz Khan

    Hi Moyz Khan,
    It looks like Timeout property is applicable only in SSMS as you are getting issues to preview data in SSDT ,Updating timeout may not be the right solution !
    I think DataSourceID in your second screen shot is not a Bug,When you provide Datasource SSDT automatically creates GUID I hope.
    I am not able to replicate your situation at my end.but
    Please check following URL

  • Tabular model does not update accordingly with source data chage

    Hi all ,
    I am new into Tabular, appreciate if someone can help please.
    I've created a simple Tabular model against a single table (SQL Server 2012 ). When I process and deploy I can open it on Excel and view data.
    Then when I change data in the source table, and process and deploy the data, the changes does not reflect when open in Excel, But If I give different Database Name and Cube Name under Tabular Properties and process and deployed, and open in Excel I can
    see the changes.
    I want to keep the same Database and Cube Name under Tabular properties/Development server.
    Is it possible to see source table changes in Excel, if I didn't change Database and Cube Name under Tabular properties/Development server.
    Deployment Options are as follows:
    Processing Option : Default
    Transaction Deployment :False
    Query Mode: In Memory
    Thanks.
    Mira

    Hi,
    Try by changing the "Processing Option : Default" to "Processing
    Option : Full". Sometimes I delete the workspace database created in SSAS server before do the processing.
    Best regards.

  • SSRS Parameters using SSAS Tabular model get cleared

    I have an SSRS report that uses data from a SSAS Tabular model.  In the query designer, from the calendar dimension I choose a "Date Inclusive" filter and make it a parameter. I also choose to add another filter using and Organisation Unit
    dimension and also make this a parameter. The report is written and deployed to a SharePoint 2013 library.
    Most of the time, the report runs as expected with the parameters cascading off each other as expected.  However, occasionally, parameters get cleared (either after changing a single value such as the Org Unit selection or sometime whilst the report
    is being rendered). Sometimes you cannot select a value from the available values - you need to navigate somewhere else and then start over.
    I changed the data source for the parameters to use SQL queries that return the same values as the MDX queries and the probably seems to have gone (time will tell)
    This report has a child (detail) report that has one extract parameter.  This parameter happens to have over 1,000 values.  With the change of the parent report, you are now able to get to the child report.  However, the child report seems
    to exhibit the same problem with the parameters being cleared - and with a much higher frequency.
    So, that leaves me wondering whether
    anyone else has experienced this ?
    is this an issue with SSRS 2012 and SSAS Tabular models (I have not seen this behaviour before and I have been using SSRS (since version 1) and SSAS Multi-dimensional (from when it was called "OLAP Services") ?

    We applied SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 to the SharePoint farm (the SP Admin needed to re-create the service applications) and the problem is fixed

  • Reg: Error while deploying the Model

    Hello All,
    I developed a Model in the VC.
    The compilation of the model was successful.
    But when I tried to deploy the model I'm getting an Error message saying :
    "Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Not enough space" .
    Can anyone tell me what to do to resolve this problem ?
    Regards,
    Deepu.K

    Hi colleagues,
    We also encountered this problem here at our customer´s system .
    We told the basis administrators to increase the disk space which did not solve our problem, though.
    After successfully compiling the vc model
    Deploying with FLEX2 results in an error as follows:
    "Process is not executed!"
    while deploying with flex1 resulits in the error
    "Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Not enough space"
    Since everything has been working smoothly for the last months until now,
    we wonder how this error has suddenly occured.
    Does anyone have an idea how to trace the error or has anyone encountered this error, too?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Error while importing data in SSAS Tabular Model

    I am new to the concept Tabular Model in SSAS 2014.
    I am trying to create one tabular model based on Adventureworks DW 2014.
    I am getting below error while importing tables to create model.
    "OLE DB or ODBC error: Login failed for user 'ASIAPAC\CSCINDAE732028$'.; 28000.

    But while creating the Datasource, it has created successfully (below img)
    But while importing the facing the below error.
    Note:
    I have multiple instances in my system with unique names.
    Is this causing any ambiguity issues in selecting right instances?

    Hi Naveen，
    Based on your screenshots, you fail to open a connection to the data source. Right?
    In this scenario, the first screenshot you post is for creating a connection to server with the current windows authentication, not for connecting a data source. So the "Test Connection succeed" means your current windows user can connect
    to server, not connect to the database your selected in the dropdown list. Then you click next, you can choose account to access the data source. Based on the information, your service account "'ASIAPAC\CSCINDAE732028$" doesn't have permission to
    access the database you selected. Please grant the permission for the service account in SSMS.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Time Intelligence DAX functions are not working in Tabular model

    Hello,
    I've implemented a simple tabular model using SQL Server 2012 SP1 SSDT with a date dimension that  has an active relationship with the date key in the fact table and has met the criteria for a date dimension to the best of my knowledge, i.e. no missing
    dates, etc.
    However, when I add a calculated measure in the VS project using any time intelligence function, i.e. =CALCULATE(SUM([NewPatientTotal]),TOTALYTD(DimDate[Date])), the calculated measure only returns the value of the current member, i.e. SUM(NewPatientTotal])
    without throwing an error.  This is happens for all time intelligence functions!
    Are there any best practices that I've missed? I've scoured the SSAS forums to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    You probably forgot to use the "Mark as Date Table" on the DimDate table.
