SSAS 2008, Process Old partition

Hi Experts ,
I need an advice and suggestion.
I am working on SSAS 2008, I have One Fact Table "Fact_sales".
I have done yearly partion, I.e
FAct_Sales_2010
FAct_Sales_2011
FAct_Sales_2012
FAct_Sales_2013
Every Year I create One Partition.
Now in Year 2014 I added One More column i.e "Dept_key" in Fact Table and create FK PK relation with Dept_Dimension
This Year I created partion again i.e FAct_Sales_2014 which have Dept_key in Select Statement of Partition Query.
I do process Full , and my cube fails,Stating Dept_Key not found
I need to know ,if new columns are added in Fact Table ,
Is it require to Update or Recreate Old partition ??

If you have created the partitions by Query Binding you should add Dept_key in query for each partition. After all perform full processing measure group.
Best regards.

SSAS 2008 - How to get processing times per dimension / measure group?

Hi experts!
SSAS 2008. I am doing analysis and I'm trying to get information (from dmv or log) about processing times per dimension / measure group. Any ideas how to do that?
Thanks,

also in DMV there's no column recording the processing time, so we suggest you using SSAS AMO to programmatically get the state and last processed date time. Please see:
Analysis Management Objects (AMO)
Hi John,
Thanks for you info, As
Simon Suggested there is no DMV columns available.
You can use below link for more information.
Programming Administrative Tasks with AMO

partition attributes for last processed (timestamp and status)

SSAS 2008 R2 reading all partitions

Hi<o:p></o:p>
The report is very slow and we see in sql profiler SSAS reading all year partitions even we filter with one month and report is very slow. The
cube partitions are monthly. The cube size is around 150GB. A measure column is Last Non empty. The
cube performance is very slow. We read prefetching article and we tried the options no luck. How can we restrict not reading all partitions? Any help/suggestions
Thanks

Hi Sreeni,
I hope I am wrong but I think sorting out this type of issue remotely is very difficult.
The book I can recommend is; -
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services
Unleashed
The only other generic advice I can give is to narrow down the problem domain. In this case this means; -
1) Creating a separate copy of your BIDS SSAS solution with a minimum number of dimensions and a single measure group with two partitions.
2) Think of any other way you can make your separate copy of your BIDS SSAS solution as simple as possible whilst still being able to demonstrate the issue of unexpected partition scans, e.g. remove calculated members from your single measure group.
The likely outcome of this is that you are likely to be closer to a resolution. The worst case scenario is that you would need to contract a third party on site consultant where your joint efforts would be much more focused.
In short by creating a stripped down version of your cube you are much more likely to identify the specific area of your cube design which is causing the unexpected scans.
I hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Hi.
Thank's your reply.
The table IMS.CDR_CSG_CONT_PROV has 5 partition:
PR1106_CDRCSGCONTPROV ==== HIGH_VALUE = 01/12/2006
PR1206_CDRCSGCONTPROV ==== HIGH_VALUE = 01/01/2007

When I tried to create a partition PR1006 (HIGH_VALUE = 01/11/2006), oracle didn't let me create old partition.
Command executed

MDX queries that used to work on SSAS 2008 not working on 2012

Hello,
We are still using the old PerformancePoint planning server which is writing MDX queries against a SSAS 2012 at this time.   What used to work against SSAS 2008 is now having issues.   I captured a profile and the part of the query which
generates the error is this error: The '' calculated member cannot be created because a calculated member with the same name already exists.    What has changed in SSAS 2012 where this would not work anymore?; is there anyway to
make the 2012 environment work with this code again?.   The code generation is out of my control so I need to find a way to enable backwards compatibility with the way the tool generates the MDX statements.
WITH
MEMBER [Account].[Staffing_V3].[] AS ""
MEMBER [Account].[Staffing_V3].[] AS ""
MEMBER [Account].[Staffing_V3].[] AS ""
MEMBER [Account].[Staffing_V3].[] AS ""
MEMBER [Account].[Staffing_V3].[] AS ""

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
According to your description, the MDX query which has the duplicate calculated member name can run success with out any problems in SSAS 2008, however the same query cannot work in SSAS2012 with the error below, right?
The '' calculated member cannot be created because a calculated member with the same name already exists.
I have tested it on my local environment, and the result turn out that this is the default change by Microsoft from SSAS 2008 R2 version. And I am afraid there is no any workarounds run this similar query in SSAS 2012. So in your scenario, you
need to remove the duplicate members in the query.
Thank you for your understanding.

Problem with pivot tables connected to SSAS 2008 R2 in Excel 2010: "Excel found unreadable content in ' file_name '..."

Hi,
I have such problem when I open in Excel 2010 14.0.7128.5000 (32 bit) a xlsx-file containing pivot tables and slicers connected to SSAS 2008 R2 cube:
- Excel found unreadable content in '...'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust...
And this text after clicking "Yes":
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition2.xml part (PivotTable cache)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition3.xml part (PivotTable cache)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable1.xml part (PivotTable view)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable3.xml part (PivotTable view)
Removed Records: Workbook properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)
What may be the reason?
It has become a regular at some point for files created in Excel 2013. But this file was created in the same excel in which I try to open this file.
Thanks for help in advance.
Best regards,
Nikolay

Hi,
The whole error message like this:
"Excel found unreadable content in '<<var>File name></var>.xls'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?
If you click Yes in the error message, the file cannot be opened as expected."
Please try the following methods and check they are helpful:
1. Install the hotfix for Excel 2010.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2544025/en-us
2. Installing the 'Visual Basic' component of MS Office 2010
'Navigate to 'Control Panel >> Programs' -> select Microsoft Office 2010, and then click 'Change >> Add or Remove Programs' -> at the bottom of this list, click the 'plus' sign provided next to Office Shared Features -> click Visual
Basic for Applications -> After that, right-click and choose Run from My Computer -> click Continue'.
3. Run as administrator
4. Go the file in Windows Explorer, right-click on the file, select Properties and at the bottom there's an area called Security, click on Unblock.

Excel 2007 ignores the roles configured on SSAS 2008

Hi,
I am facing a common problem for which I have found very useful threads but they didn't manage to help me.
My problem is on excel report, Dimension data is not filtering correctly when I connect with user credentials for which a role is configured on the cube. Excel 2007 ignores the roles configured on SSAS 2008 and I tested with 2 different users with the same
role configuration.
I ensured that the user doesn't fall in the server admin role and . I started up an SQL Profiler and I ensured no * in the list of roles of the user. I ensured also that there is no "built-in administrators group" configured (Security\BuiltinAdminsAreServerAdmin).

Also I am planning to upgrade my Service Pack 1 to the cumulative pack Hot Fix 2710 ( KB969099 ) as it seems there are some known issues about dimension security on SSAS 2008. Do you really think it is a question of upgrade?

However I managed to work around the issue on SSAS and on Excel as follow but it is the not the solution expected:
- On SSAS 2008 R2 cube browser, while testing using the role: Dimension values filtered correctly the required data
- On Excel: Unless the role is specified in the configuration of the connection then the data is not filtered.

It is really urgent,

Hello,
I'm experiencing exactly the same issue and I can't find any solution to it.
Were you able to solve it? If so, how did you do it?

SSAS 2008 snowflake - dimensions with one-to-many relationship (NOT fact table) and hierarchy?

Hi, below is my data model for SSAS 2008 on snowflake schema.
Below is SQL Server DW tables:
DimStudent - StudentID [primarykey], StudentName, DateOfBirth, AddressID
DimStudentAddresses - AddressID [primarykey], StudentID [foreignkey], ddressLine1, AddressLine2, AddressType
FactEnrolment - StudentID, EnrolWeek, EnrolFees
So here FactEnrolement.StudentID is joined to DimStudent.StudentID column,
and relationship between DimStudent & DimeStudentAddresses is one to many I.e. one student can have multiple addresses like primary or secondry address.
To design snowflake schema in SSAS 2008 BIDS project :
[Question-1] how to join one-to-many dimensions (NOT fact table) Like DimStudent & DimAddresses?
[Question-2] At the end I want to have a single dimension only I.e. Student which should have both DimStudent & DimStudentAddresses tables attributes init. So I can create hierarchy from these two table into a single dimension? How
to do this?
Please reply with feedback particular to my above scenario as I refereed other MSDN forums but nothing solid I found.
Any STEP-BY-STEP guideline please. Many thanks.

HT4718 i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

First of all, I have to ask, why to you "need" to install a fresh copy of OSX?
This may mean that your hard drive is failing, so hopefully you have a backup.
I'm assuming you were in your recovery partition when you did this.
I would, from the recovery partition, repair your hard drive and permissions.
When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
And then try to create the partition again.
If that doesn't work, you have a few options:
Try a third party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool which may be able to repair your hard drive:
DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
Try internet recovery, perhaps erase the entire hard drive and reinstall ML.
If nothing else works, then I'd replace the HD and start over.

Dynamically adding more attributes to cube dimension in SSAS 2008 R2

I need to dynamically add more attributes to cube dimension in SSAS 2008 R2 because the dimension table the cube is based on is updated using dynamic pivoting and there is need to update the cube dimension attributes as more columns are added to the dimension
table without making the changes through BIDS. Is there a way to dynamically adding more attributes to cube dimension in SSAS 2008 R2?
Thanks
BI Developer

Definitely. You can use AMO to add dimension attributes on the server. I have definitely done this a few times for different clients of mine. Here is a generic AMO sample:
http://msftasprodsamples.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SS2008%21Readme_AMOAdventureWorks&referringTitle=Home
Notice the parts which add attributes to a dimension.

I have a hp pavilion G6 1313AX with OS windows 7 64-bit. i had deleted the recovery partition(D). i want to know the full process of partition of the HDD or if there is any way of doing partition without effecting the current OS. The size of C- is 441 gb nd i wanna to reduce it.

You could use a partition program like partition magic but I would still make sure you have all your important pictures and documents saved to an external device or copied to another machine just in case.

Erase Vista old partition HDDRecovery after migration to W7

I bought my PC with Vista including a special partition DATA (E) containing HDDRecovery
Since I installed Windows 7 and I created a new recovery disk.
Is it possible to erase old partition E now ?
Thank you for your answer.

> Pb, I wish to affect this new free space to an another virtual disk G which is full.
> The expansion command is not possible for G (but it is for C)
For this purpose, you should use Paragon Partition Manager, Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite. Download and install, then, you have to choose ,,Merge Partition,, and follow instruction.
*Note*, It's strongly recommended to back up the necessary Files/folders on virtual disk G before merging them.

Converting a SSAS 2008 R2 database into a SSAS 2012 Tabular database

Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to convert or migrate in whatever manner a SSAS 2008 R2 database (multidimensional) into a SSAS 2012 Tabular database.
Many thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to convert or migrate a multidimensional cube to a tabular model.
This MSDN article says ...
Because tabular is the newer solution, you might think that migrating an existing multidimensional solution to a tabular format is
the correct course of action, but this is usually not the case. Tabular does not supersede multidimensional, and the two formats are not interchangeable.
If you need to migrate a cube to tabular (maybe for performance reasons), unfortunately you need to build it from scratch. I believe the reason for this is that there are concepts that do not translate across the technologies. There are no good
3rd party tools that I'm aware of that even attempt to do this.

BO on SSAS 2005 vs SSAS 2008

Hello,
We have been testing a BO OLAP Universe on top of a SSAS cube.
We have BO XI 3.1 base version on windows.
We observe this behavior.
Consider a BO query against an OLAP Universe ( A few calculated measures thrown in ). We isolate the query using the tracer.
1. If you run the MDX query against SSAS(2005) through Management studio it comes back in a few seconds.
2. If you run the equivalent report in BO against SSAS(2005) - It runs for 1 hour and times-out.
3, If you run the same report in BO against SSAS( 2008) - the response comes back within a minute.
We do know that BO query generated is not the most efficient query. Howver the above observation makes us wonder - if query is not the only factor in the performance. Does 2005 treat requests differently, may be putting some on low priority or could this be some kind of issues due to load on 2005 server and Management studio some-how smartly integrated to get a faster response?

Hi Didier,
Happy New Year and thanks for your responses.
"But if you are running the same MDX with SQL Server Management Studio and BO on SSAS 2005, it is hard to explain such differences." - Yes ..thats what concerns me..unless somehow this data is getting cached.. in which case BO should return the same.
But yes, i agree..the performance seems to have improved with 2008.
"What is the volume of data returned by the query?" - not much...may be less than 10000 rows
"Are you doing formatting and/or local variablles in the document (I assume it is Web Intelligence)?" - none.. no additions at all.. its a report out of cube universe objects only.
Here is a sample MDX. (Have nodified it WITH - to enable running it in Management studio)

Install win 8.1 on Helix with format old partition

Hello All.
I decidedinstall new Win 8.1 from USB disk and formatted partition with old 8.0, when install 8.1 on established patrtion. Everything was established, but now when i try to activate Windows - see error 0x8007007b (The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect). how to activate now or return factory settings?
Help me ))))

I don't think you can use the embedded UEFI key to activate Windows 8.1. If you have a key from volume licensing, MSDN or something like that you can use that one.
I would recommend installing Windows 8.0 first, updating all the drivers and then updating to Windows 8.1. I had all sorts of issues when installing 8.1 directly on the Helix.
