What will be physical architecture for SSAS Tabular model with Sharepoint 2013?

I would like to build SharePoint 2013 based reporting portal with Power View as visualization tool.
I have 300-800 million rows and customer puts priorities in high performance.
Data source is SQL Server database and Flat Files.
What will be recommended physical archicture? Is following good?
-SQL Server database server
-SSAS Tabular application server
-SharePoint 2013 Front-End (multiple if needed)

Hi Kenny_I,
According to your description, you want to if it's OK to SQL Server database server, SSAS tabular application server and SharePoint 2013 Front-End on different server, right?
As I said in another thread, even though we can install all of them on same physical server, however in the production environment, the recommendation is that install them on different server, it will beneficial to troubleshooting the issue when some
issue occur on the environment. So in your scenario, it Ok to install all the application on different server. Here are some links about requirement to install the application.

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
Thanks

I can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites.

Change PowerView datasource from PowerPivot to SSAS Tabular model

Hi all,
I'm playing around with PowerView at the moment and use the PowerView examples provided by Microsoft. These are all based on PowerPivot with data from an access DB. Now I want to have the sample data not stored locally but on the server. What I did so far
was importing the PowerPivot into a SSAS Tabular Model (with the VS wizard) and published the model to the SSAS Server. So far so good, I can browse the data in the model.
However, I have not found a possibility to change the data source of the PowerView from PowerPivot to the SSAS Tabular Model. How can I do this? Or is this not possible?
Thanks,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
Power View only supports Microsoft BI Semantic Model (BISM) for Power View data sources. BISM files are designed specifically for connecting to Excel workbooks and SSAS tabular models. The Excel workbooks can be in the PowerPivot Gallery on a SharePoint
site or in a SharePoint library. In this issue, you can publish the PowerPivot workbooks to a SharePoint library or the PowerPivot Gallery, and then create RSDS file or BISM data source to the workbooks. Here are the connection string samples:
An Excel workbook in Shared Documents on a SharePoint site:
Data Source=”http://<SharePointSite>/Shared Documents/MyExcelWorkbook.xlsx”
An Excel workbook in the PowerPivot Gallery on a SharePoint site:
Data Source=”http://<SharePointSite>/PowerPivot Gallery/MyExcelWorkbook.xlsx”

Best (Thrifty) physical architecture for medium-size environment?

What is the absolute best physical architecture you would come up with for this medium size environment?

Thrifty? The SharePoint CALs alone will run you at least $1.5 million unless you already own these or have a good EA. You said "basic collaboration" so I'm assuming you don't also need Enterprise CALs though note some of the features you listed
could require enterprise licensing depending on how you're using them.
The information you haven't provided isn't enough to make an appropriate recommendation. While you have 10,000 users it's not clear how many concurrent users you expect, or what sort of workloads these users will have.
Are the users all in one location? Spread out geographically? What types of network connections? Why types of networking devices (such as a load balancer for your second option)
Is this virtual or physical? What are the hardware specs of the servers?
How many documents do you expect to have? How large will they be? What sort of storage is backing this farm? How many site collections, sites, lists, libraries, items do you expect? Workflows, third party solutions, customizations, etc. The list goes on.
Neither of these options provide high availability. Is this a concern for you? I ask because in my experience a SharePoint farm used by over 10,000 people needs to be highly available. If you need HA then you'll need more servers.
Honestly this forum isn't the best place to get the information you're looking for (i.e. an architectural design). Instead I recommend asking specific questions about specific problems you have with your design.
My question(s) then for you are: 1. Why are these the two designs you have? (in another way: What are the decisions and requirements you have that led you to these options) and 2. What is the challenge you're having in picking one of them?

If you are in India, contact your local service center for a price quote. I don't know if Indian service centers can replace just the back glass or if they will need to replace the entire iPhone. To locate a service center, see:

SSAS Tabular model conection stops refreshing data for sometime

Hi,
I am using SSAS Tabular model and create connection files to use data with excel using powerpivot or powerview.
But recently for 1 or 2 months it stops working for few mins (generally 20-60) and starts working again.
It's happens for all 4 SSAS service on same server.
I am using AD roles with SSAS Tabular model to filter the data.
Everything is normal no event for this stop, no network error, no over usage of data.
ERROR is:
Errors in OLEDB provider. Could not connect to the redirector. Ensure that the SQLBrowser service is running on the 'ABC_Production' secver.

Hi pinaKPatel,
According to your description, you get the above error recently when using your tabular model. Right?
Based on the error message, firstly, please check if the OLEDB provider is installed properly. Then check the SQLBrowser service is running. If everything is working, it may caused by the port blockage. Please follow the steps below:
Use a fixed port and unblock that port in Windows Firewall. Connect to the server in this format: <servername>:<portnumber>.
Use dynamic port assignments and SQL Server Browser service. Unblock the port used by SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. Connect to the server in this format: <servername>\<instancename>.
Use a fixed port and SQL Server Browser service together. This approach lets you connect using this format: <servername>\<instancename>, identical to the dynamic port assignment approach, except that in this case the server listens on a fixed port.
If the issue still persists, pelase redeploy your SSAS database.

Errors in the OLE DB provider

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

Designing database structure and SSAS Tabular Model cubes

Hi.
I need to design a database and SSAS tabular models for my clients but I am confused which way I should implement it.
Data for all the clients is stored into a single database with unique ClientId for each client, such 15 tables I have under a single database which stores information about all the clients.
Task is to create a SharePoint Site collection for each client which will display Power View Dashboard by taking data from above database.
Till now I have created a SSAS Tabular Model for each client, XClientModel, YModelClient using BIDS and using SQL Queries to extract data for respective clients(select * from Table1 where ClientID="X") and using Power View external connection
to this model, have created Dashboard and other SharePoint information.
I am not sure if creating different Model is suitable or I should first separate data for each client into separate database and then create Model based on respective client's database.
Can Some one highlight pros and cons on using
SINGLE database with Multiple Tabular Model (One with Many) AND Separate Database with it's Model(One to One) ?
This is understandable but just putting it here........Imp Note: Data for X client shouldn't be visible to Y client on SharePoint.
Please let me know if further information is required.

Hi Sgms,
In your description, you said that all the clients information were stored in a single database, now you want to know which method is better, single database with Multiple Tabular Model or separate database with it's Model?
In your scenario, all the information were stored in a single database, why do you want to separate it or create multiple tabular model? If you create multiple model, then you need change the data source to create PowerView dashboard for each client. As
per my understanding, you just need create one tabular to load all the information. And then use this model to create PowerView dashboard. Using filter to display the information for each client.

Optimize Fact tables in SSAS Tabular Model

Hi,
I have five Fact tables in SSAS Tabular Model and each fact table share same dimensions. It creates some performance issue and also the data model looks very complex is there any simplest way to create simple data model using all fact tables. For Ex...
Please suggest me for this ...
Fact Tables:
Fact_Expense
Fact_Sale
Fact_Revenue
Fact_COA
Fact_COG
Dimensions:
Dim_Region
Dim_Entity
Dim_Product
Dim_DateTime
Dim_Project
Dim_Employee
Dim_Customer

Hi hussain,
Please consider merging the Fact tables based on granularity. Generally, if you have enough RAM there will be no performance issues. Make sure you have double the amount of RAM to cater your processing and operational needs.Try
to optimize the model design by removing unused keys and some high cardinality columns.
Please go through the document in the link:

Updation of DAX in SSAS Tabular Model

Hi All,
I have a SSAS tabular model which has around 42 Dimension table and 10 Fact table each containing some thousands
of record.when I am writing some DAX on a FACT to get some measure ,its taking 10-15 minutes time to update one DAX.
I have to write more than 300 measures using DAX.Can anyone please suggest how can I speed up the updation process
in writing DAX.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sanjay,
According to your description, there are around 42 Dimension table and 10 Fact table each containing some thousands of record in your tabular model, so it takes 10-15 minutes time to update the calculation to server, right?
It's default setting to update the modification to server when change something on your tabular model, if the tables contain large data, it will takes long time to update. In your scenario, we recommend you to use Multidimensional database instead of Tabular
model when having large amount of data with complex requirements.
SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Multidimensional model is used when having large amount of data with complex requirements. In order to improve query performance, there will be a cube doing heavy time-consuming processing and then synchronize it
to query cubes.
However, SSAS Tabular model is used when the data model is relatively simple. So for the large amount data model, we recommend to use Multidimensional database instead of process data on one server then synchronize it to query cubes.

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.

Migrated data from Powerpivot to SSAS tabular model, can i change the Excel source to SSAS?

Hi
I have developed some powerview reports in Excel/powerpivot files. Now, i have migrated powerpivot data from these files to SSAS tabular cubes. The question is if i can change the source of the Excel files, to "feed" my powerview reports
with these SSAS Tabular cubes, or do i have to create my powerview reports again via new Excel files or PowerBI designer (and "point" these to SSAS Tabular cubes). It totally seems not logical and so i think that's a good question.
Kind regards

Hi Pascal,
Power View only supports Microsoft BI Semantic Model (BISM) for Power View data sources. BISM files are designed specifically for connecting to Excel workbooks and SSAS tabular models. The Excel workbooks can be in the PowerPivot Gallery on a SharePoint

SSAS Tabular model Performance Issue

Hello,
We have strange behavior with SSAS tabular model. The Model size is approx. 40GB in memory. Our production server has 200GB memory. Most of the users access the cube via Excel 2013 (64bit). We have been noticing that the performance starts degrading from
the next day after the Analysis service has been restarted or the server rebooted. The day either one of them is performed we get good response but then the next day response times becomes 2 to 3 times more than on the 1st day. Is this something which anyone
else has experienced. We are entering in a mode where we are required to restart the service almost everyday.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Deepak

Why are you sure role based security is the culprit? Immediately after cube processing or immediately after ClearCache does the report perform fast for a user without any role based security filters? I would recommend reviewing the methodology on page
35 of the tabular performance guide to see if it is a storage engine or formula engine bottleneck and report back.
