Error during browsing the cube

Hi,

I have migrated the anaysis service 2000 cubes to 2005.

In the database i have two cubes say A and B and one virtual cube say C.While migrating the virtual cube C got migrated as a real cube with two linked measure groups for the cubes A and B. I have not processed the cube B.But i have processed the cube A.It succeded and i could browse it once .But when i tried browsing the virual cube C (which migrated as real cube with linked measure group) is not available for browsing .This is because i didnt process the cube B whose measure is also present in C.

But the problem is when i tried to browse cube A which i could browse earlier is giving me error when i try to browse it again.

The error which i found is somethinf like this:Error in the OLAP storage engine:The version of the linked measure group with the name of 'A',on the remote instance has changed.Repeat the operation the resolve the issue.

Please help me to solve this issue ASAP.

Thanks in advance

Hi Latha. I have received the same error in the same situation from the SQL Manager when writing my own MDX query. I try the query again (as suggested) and it works. You should try a simple MDX query from SQL Manager and see if the same scenario occurs.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Since it is a migration from AS 2000 to AS 2005 .

I dont want to make any changes in the query and my AS 2000 cube works fine.

Please tell me, is the error because of the unprocessed cube 'C'(virtual cube migrated with linked measures).

Is it enough if i process the cube C along with Cube A?

Regards

Hi Latha. Yes, processing the cubes should take care of the error you received.

Error Deployiong Analysis Services Cube

Hi:

I am getting the following error when deploying the cube on my laptop.

"The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server."

I confirmed that all the services are running. Can you someone guide me here? This is the first time I am trying to deploy the cube in analysis services 2005. Please let me know.

Thanks

Try using machine name instead of the "localhost". Try connecting to your Analysis Server using SQL Management studio.

Error Deploying Cube

I have just installed Evaluation version of SQL Server 2005. Created a new database with two tables. Created new project with data source pointing to localhost and build a data source view containning tables from database created earlier. After creating the cube, I get following error while deploying the Cube:

OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.; 08001; Client unable to establish connection; 08001; Encryption not supported on the client.; 08001.

Any help!

Regards.

Are you deploying locally or remotely?

Is the user you are trying to deploy as set up in the SQLSERVER2005MSOLAPUser group on the AS server?

|||

It is local and user is member of group you mentioned.

My problem was due to the wrong impersonation information in data source. I have corrected it and now everything is fine.

Thnks.

error deploying analysis server cube

Has anyone ever received this message before?

I haven't been able to resolve this problem. Not only that - Now that I've

made, but to no avail.
Can anyone help me?
--JPThere are a couple of things you could try.
1) you could run Profiler while you are trying to deploy, this way you
would be able to capture the XMLA that is being sent to the server. You
would then be able to copy and paste the XMLA into a text editor and
search it. Maybe there is one change that you have missed undoing.
2) If all else fails, you could re-create your project from the database
on the server by starting a new project and choosing the "import
Analysis Services 9.0 database option"

Error Creating Role on Cube

I am trying to create a role on a dimension and when I
click on the Test Role button, I get the following
error.
"Unable to process one or more commands. User-generated
error - the dimension "All Regions" has no valid member.
For more information, see your administrator."
Below is the mdx that I have entered on the All Regions
dimension of my role.
FILTER(
{[All Regions].[Region Name].Members},
(((STRTOTUPLE(MID(USERNAME,INSTR(1,USERNAME,"\")+1 ,128)),
[SFAccessre])=1)
AND ((STRTOTUPLE(MID(USERNAME,INSTR(1,USERNAME,"\")
+1,128)),[Cube Typere])=1)
AND ((STRTOTUPLE(MID(USERNAME,INSTR(1,USERNAME,"\")
+1,128)),[Dimension Typere])=1)))
I am able to browse the data of the All Regions
dimension. The dimensions SFAccessre, Cube Typere and
Dimension Typere are all in a Users Region dimension.
I use a similar MDX statement for security on another
dimension in my cube.
TIA
Hi,
When you execute the Test Role button, it takes in the Logged in User and
tries to apply the Security MDX on this. (Bascially the UserName function
would return the Logged in User's Information.)
Please check if the Logged in user has got corresponding records in the All
Regions Dimension.
Thanks,

Error connecting to a SQL 2005 (June CTP) Cube using Excel 2003

When I use the PivotTable Wizard in Excel 2003 to connect to a SQL 2005 cube
,
the wizard successfully finds and connects to the cube, but when I click
'finish' to retrieve the data, I get the following error:
"Initialization of the data source failed.
Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure
the external database is available, and then try the operation again. If you
see this message again, create a new data source to connect to the database.
"
Any ideas what could be causing this? I have Excel 2003 and SQL 2005 (June
CTP) running on the same machine.

DuncanHi Duncan
I have the same error.
I have Excel 2000 and Excel 2003 installed on my pc and SQL server 2000 and
SQL Server 2005 installed on a server. It seems that I can use most
combinations of these 2 - Excel 2000 will read data from SQL server 2000 and
2005, Excel 2003 will read data from SQL Server 2000 cubes.
But I get the same error as you when I try to read data from SQL Server 2005
Analysis Services Cubes from Excel 2003. It knows the cubes are there but
can't read the data.
Did you manage to resolve this? Can anyone else help?

I got around this by re-registering the OLAP v9.0 dll:
regsvr32 c:\program files\common files\system\oledb\msolap90.dll
This worked for me.
Good luck

Error connecting Excel to Analysis Service for browsing cube

I have created a cube. Now when I open excel so that to browse the cube in the excel pivot table i am getting connection refused error? I am using olap 9.0 to connect to my cube which is deployed on the sqlserver 2005 analysis server. server is up and running.ok i found the solution. we need to reregister the olap 9.0 provider before we can use it to connect SQL Server 2005 Analysis Service Cube with Excel Pivot Table :
regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\system\ole db\msolap90.dll"|||

Hi,

I having the similar problem with you. But no sure whether your error message is same with me. Here i get the error message as below:

Connection Failed

SQL State: '28000'

SQL Server Error: 18456

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server][SQL Server] Login failed for user 'domain\userida'

I am using olap services 8.0 & sqlserver 2000.

I checked this userida is properly created in the cube under a cube role said 'Accounts'. This role contain of abt 6 user id. Others user id is work fine except for this userida.

Any ideas to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what Error Codes 3238395904 and 3240034316 are.

Looks like error belongs to the OLEDB provider you are using.

The error message reported by OLEDB provider is just "Unspecified error"

Looks like something went wrong with your relational database connection. Test your conneciton. See if you can process any other objects based on the same data source.

Hope that helps.

Error browsing Analysis Services Tutorial cube

Hi. I have two instances of SQL Server installed. One is unnamed and refers to a SQL Server 2000 installation. The other one is named PEDRO\SQLDEV2005 and refers to a SQL Server 2005 installation. I was going through the MSAS tutorial and when I was trying to browse the cube the following error occurred:

The query could not be processed: o Errors in the OLE DB provider. Could not connect to the redirector. Ensure that the SQLBrowser service is running on the 'PEDRO' server. o Errors in the OLE DB provider. An error occurred while named instance information was being retrieved from the SQLBrowser service on the 'PEDRO' server.

The problem is that my server name isn't PEDRO, but PEDRO\SQLDEV2005. Where do I change the server name?

Pedro Martins

Portugal

The error message is correct. You might be running several instances of Analysis Sever on your machine. But you have a single SQL Browserver service that serves them all.

Try and see if SQL Browser service is started. Do you have connectivity to the Domain controller? There is known issue with accessing named instace is case if domain controller is unavailable.

See if you can connect to Analysis Server using SQL Management studio.
