Deploying SSAS cube to environments

牧云@^-^@ 提交于 2019-12-08 00:26:27
We are using BIDS 2008 locally (on our workstations) to develop our OLAP objects/cube. Come the time of promotion to Development we can deploy via BIDS. However when a hands-off deployment is required (eg. to UAT or Live) we are generating an XMLA file. This (the generated XMLA file) of course contains environment specific information (eg server name, database name, etc). If we would like to automate the generation of the XMLA file for deployment to each environment, is there a config type process to parameterise these values (like .NET : web.config : appSettings or SSIS : dtsConfig). Note we

I'm currently looking at using SMO to do this but I haven't had any luck so far. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. Update: After further research, I have come up with the

问题 There is a SQL 2012 Analysis Server with some cubes. When I connect to it using Excel 2013 (DATA menu > From Other Sources > From Analysis Services), I can see the DB names in the dropdown.

How to model process and status history in a data warehouse?

旧城冷巷雨未停 提交于 2019-12-07 07:32:51
问题 Let's say that we have D_PROCESS , D_WORKER and D_STATUS as dimensions, and the fact F_EVENT that links a process (what) with a worker (who's in charge) and the "current" status. The process status changes over time. Shoud we store in F_EVENT one line per process/status/worker, or one line per process/worker, and "somewhere else" one line per status change for a given process/worker? I'm new to Datawarehouse and it's hard to find best practices/tutorial related to data modelization. 回答1: Read

Handling nulls in Datawarehouse

烈酒焚心 提交于 2019-12-07 03:09:32
问题 I'd like to ask your input on what the best practice is for handling null or empty data values when it pertains to data warehousing and SSIS/SSAS. I have several fact and dimension tables that contain null values in different rows. Specifics: 1) What is the best way to handle null date/times values? Should I make a 'default' row in my time or date dimensions and point SSIS to the default row when there is a null found? 2) What is the best way to handle nulls/empty values inside of dimension
