After reading some threads on this forum about accessing OLAP data from SSIS via an OLE DB Source component (and trying it myself and getting that "pcrsstore.cpp line 325" error), I have worked around the problem by using a Script Task component.
This calls a .NET assembly I wrote that uses ADOMD.NET to get at the data using an MDX query, and then actually posts an event to a Notification Services instance via a stored proc.
Writing, deploying, and maintaining a .NET assembly is more than I wanted to do, but it was worth the effort since now I know a little about extending SSIS when I need to.
But what I really wanted to do was the following, all from within the core components of SSIS:
Import my OLTP data into my relational warehouse (already done using SSIS)
Process the cube (already done using SSIS)
Access the cube via MDX and post an event to Notification Services
It's this last step that needed some special work because of SSIS's apparent limitation accessing cube data (although posting the event to NS would be easy because SSIS can call a stored proc on the NS application database).
So I'm hoping that a future release or service pack of SSIS will give us some components to run MDX and get the OLAP data into the pipeline as if it were from any other source.
Thanks for reading, and if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to achieve what I need please let me know!

I am using data flow task.And data flow source uses ole db for olap 9.0 to connect my ssas. sql comment is my access mode. A mdx query extracts data. Data flow destination is sql server table. Error said Data Flow Task: OLE DB Source [579]: The output "OLE DB Source Output" (589) references an external data type that cannot be mapped to a Data Flow task data type. I guess it is a implicit data type convertion problem. But how to solve it???
I have created database and OLAP cube in Analysis services using SSAS.In SSAS I have used a datasource which is using SQL tables to populate OLAP cube.Now when I added some more data to my SQL tables and trying to deploy cube,the newly added is not getting populated in the cube.So i want run SSIS package which will import data from SQL tables to this OLAP cube.
Can you please help me how to write this SSIS package to import data from SQL tables to OLAP cube.(Very urgent issue)
I am having a problem creating an Integration Services package which executes an MDX query and place the results in a local DB.
I am using an OLE connection to connect to cube. However when I run the package I get the following error ....
[OLE DB Source [175]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid. AND [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "OLE DB Source" (175) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
I'm trying to link SSIS (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services) with an SAP Business Warehouse to extract data from a QueryCube. I'm thinking about using the OLAP-BAPI but I don't know how to access it via SSIS.
Are there any ideas or comments how to accomplish this?
I am trying to access Cube through SSIS and have been unable to set SSIS package with the work around provided here (https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=219068). On pasting the MDX query using the openrowset command on the OLEDB source editor, I get a pop up window with error 0x08000405 and the message that says 'syntax used for openrowset is incorrect'
I also tried running this on SQL Management studio but, get the following error.
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "An error was encountered in the transport layer.". OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The peer prematurely closed the connection.". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "(null)".
The server where the cube resides is on 64bit machine and I have 32-bit..could this be the reason for the issue?
I found this article on microsoft support website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947512 ) which describes the possible symptoms and causes for connectivity issues But, couldn't find a work around for it.
Here is the syntax of the query I am using in SSIS and query analyser
It runs SSIS packages, stored procedures fine. But when it comes to execute a command, reprocessing a Analysis Services cube it fails, saying the cube either not exists or the account has no rights. The cube does exist. If it's the account, how can I choose a different one or permit the one which is being used to execute reprocessing?
How to add a task to copy an OLAP database to a remote Sql server in control flow using SSIS 2005? This OLAP database is existed in the remote server and I just want to replace the existing one with the one just been updated in the SSIS package and the last task in the package is to copy the updated OLAP database and replace the one at the remote server. Hopfully during the copy and paste process it will not screw up the reports that are using the OLAP cubes at the remote server as the report data source. Thanks.
Our OLAP environment involves an ETL/Data Warehouse/Data Mart server and a cube publisher server. We would like to learn how to automate the Archival/Restore of OLAP databases. We are currently doing it manually though OLAP Manager. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. James.

Can a SSIS server, i.e. staging server be used to create packages that update SQL Server 2000 Analysis services objects on another server running SQL server 2000 OLAP?
It appears that the OLAP connection manager ion SSIS supports only connections (and thus updates) to 2005 OLAP objects. I work for a company that has a huge investment in a 3rd party DW that uses Analysis Services 2000. the DW tool vendor will not support an upgrade to SSAS 2005. We wish to extend the DW from other data sources. My thought was to use a staging server with SSIS, used solely as the ETL tool for all new development (thus no more DTS development), and to update the sql server 2000 operational data store on another box.
I can find no documentation on how to process sql server 2000 analysis services objects from within an SSIS package. Any ideas?
On the subject of Data Warehouses, Data Cubes & OLAP….I would like to speak frankly about Data Warehouses, Data Cubes andOLAP (on-line analytical processing). Has it dawned on anyone elsethat these buzz words were created by some geek who decided to take astab at marketing? Knowing that to the backwoods manager who knowslittle of technology that new innovative names for old concepts wouldhelp to sale their products.I mean seriously, what is the story here? In a nut shell, and pleasestop me if you disagree, but isn’t a data warehouse simply adatabase? Can’t you do everything on a conventional databaselike SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 that you can do on these newproprietary Data Warehouse constructs? I mean who are they trying tofool?Take a look, for instance, at Data Cubes. Who hasn’t noticedthe striking similarity between data cubes and views used in all themore robust databases? Also, what about OLAP? OLAP is nothing morethan a report generator. There’s nothing you can do with thesemillion dollar price tagged Data Warehouse total solution packagesthat I can’t do with SQL Server, Oracle or DB2…for thatmatter Microsoft Access.As an example some sales people for Metadata Corporation has the VicePresident of I.T. in Nashville, for Healthspring, sold on their totalsolution data respository which is such a scam. All they had to dowas throw a couple of buzzwords at him and they have him hypnotized.Personally, I feel that these kinds of marketing practices undermineour industry. It helps to unravel what little standards orconsistency we have. What do you guys think?Stuart
I am starting using OLAP service. The first problem the first day I use it.
I setup a system DSN for OLAP under ODBC source. I use SQL driver to create a data source to a SQL server. I am using SQL SA login account. Then I go into OLAP manager create database. Then in the library I set up a data source using the DSN I created before.In the General Tab I use OLE DB for ODBC provider. After this I try to create a new cube using the wizard. I got error the message that the SQL login is invalid. I double check it is right login account. I failed several times. Then I tried directly create data source under library and not using the DSN I created before. The first time it failed again has the same message. Then the second time when I create data source I use NT authentication instead SQL login. Now everything went fine. I was able to create a cube. But I still wondering what is preventing using SQL login account when creating data source.
Hello,If I wrote the next ebay (yes I know, yawn-snore) and I had a databasewith 5 million auction items in it, what would be a really goodstrategy to get a search done very quickly? Would it involvesomething called OLAP and/or "data mining"? The only technology I amfamiliar with is simply SQL Server databases with stored procedures.I think I'd be guessing correctly and say that this technology simplywouldn't be fast enough *on it's own* to do super fast queries againstmassive amounts of data.Any insights would be of great interest. Thanks.-Frameworker.
my name is Christof and I#m currently trying to write into our Terdata Warehouse by SSIS. In the Management Studio we can perfectly access Terdata - reading from it - but we actually see no way writing back Data into that system. Is there any hidden feature, any configuration menu that we hadīnt seen so far?.
In the software documentation we found a tip "ADO.NET" as Data Destination isīnt imlemented for now - please wait until ....
Iīm asking me if someone has had the same problem before and could help me out with a little tip.

I am not able to access SSIS variables which are defined at Data Flow Task in a custom component. This custom component is developed by me in C#. How can i access these variables?
Please let me know if theres a way to access SSIS variables.
I have an OLAP server and would like to use my Chart FX software without having to purchase the OLAP extensions on the server due to budget restraints (ouch).
I've heard that it is possible (although limited) to attach toan OLAP cube using SQL select statements (not MDX).
Basically, I would like to pull the OLAP data in the relational sense.
Is this possible? If so, are any good articles on this subject?
I'm new to OLAP and would like to transition slowly.
The drillthrough in my cube is working fine except for the cases where the dimension member is null. For example I have the dimension PRODUCT (dim) - PROD_TYPE_CD (name = PROD_TYPE_CD || '-' || PROD_TYPE_NM) - PROD_CD -PROD_NM
So for if the data is like the following where the PROD_TYPE_CD is null : - (name = -FOOD) - 123 - bread
The drillthough is not displaying any data no matter I select the PROD_TYPE_CD, PROD_CD or PROD_NM in the dimension drop down altough if query the DB directly I found data to display in the drillthrough Any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it.
I prepared an OLAP cube for the report data source in the SSAS 2005. The OLAP cube consists of more than 20 dimensions and several measure groups. I then created the subset/view of the OLAP cube using the "Prepective" function and limit to not more than 7 dimensions on each of the subset. How do I reference the OLAP cube subset as the data source when developing the report in the report designer. Furthermore what is the advantage of creating multiple smaller OLAP cubes with less dimensions comparing to one big OLAP cube with several subset/view attached to it. Thanks.
I'm working with PivotTable on Excel 2000 which is connected to an OLAP server (from SQL Server 7 installation). The pivot is intended to analyze Sales during April 2001. Yesterday I found out that OLAP/Excel returned/displayed inconsistent data. The 'April Total' value is NOT equal to the 'Quarter 2 Total' (I already inspected the underlying database and sure that there is absolutely NO data for months after April 2001). The value for 'April Total' is the correct one. I'm not sure whether the problem resides on the OLAP Server or Excel (pivot) itself. For ones who like to help me I would be glad to supply you with the screenshots (just email me). Please help.
I have a .rdl file that was exported out of ProClarity's Desktop Professional 6.1 using their RS plug-in. I uploaded the file into Report Manager and when I execute it, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'Three_Month_Funding_Trend'. Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'.
Does anyone have any idea what this is referring to? Does it have something to do with my configuration, connection or the report definition? Other reports such as DBMS based reports work fine.
I've generated some mining models against an OLAP data source (dimension). However, when I go to generate a lift chart, it seems that the only data source that can be used for input is the data source view (the relational database). Is that right? Or is there something I'm missing here.
I was figuring I'd use one slice to train the model, then another slice to test the accuracy of the results. But right now it's looking like I can't do that.
1. SQL Server Data Warehouse 2. OLAP CUBE in Analysis Services
My question is - If my SQL Server Data Warehouse is changed (Having Append Data) - Is that My OLAP Cube will have the Append Data?
It's possible, my OLAP Cube always having Append Data if my Data Warehouse is changed? If yes, how to do it without re-deploy and re-process my Analysis Services Project.
I want to create a local temporary table in execute sql task and and want to use the same in Data flow task as source table.
I follow the following steps to achieve this:
01. Created a new SSIS package 02. Create a connection string to "(local)/." server, "tempdb" database 03. Set the "RetainSameConnection" property value to "TRUE" 04. Set the "DelayValidation" to "TRUE", where ever I found this property 04. In Control Flow I added to items a. Execute SQL Task b. Data Flow Task 05. For "Execute SQL task" I set the connection to "tempdb" 06. I written the following query Create table #transfer_CompaniesToProcess_tbl ( companyID int not null ) GO 07. In Data Flow task I added "OLE DB Source" and "OLE DB Destination" 08. In "OLE DB Source" I changed the "Data access mode:" to "SQL command" 09. In "SQL command text:" I entered "select * from #transfer_CompaniesToProcess_tbl" 10. When I clicked on the "OK" button; I ended with following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available.

I gone through the following article and it seems I missed some thing. http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/11/19/SSIS_3A00_-Using-temporary-tables.aspx
is there a step by step paper to get there? here is what i need to consider. I Iwill have many customers that will need their own set of records and access pages "branded for their company" each customer will have many clients. I am hosting this application on a windows 2003 server with SQL 2005 server enterprise.
I am using windows authentication, I have created a username in windows, then i added the windows user in SQL management studio in security, granted "DB Read" and "DB write" and again under the database security tab. still from the web authentication fails. i must be nissing a step or two?
I expect to set up a username for each database as i setup new customers.
I have an MVC asp.net application that stores many records in a table on sql server, in its own system. Â used the system for 2 months, worked fine accessing, changing data.
Now that other users are logging in? there is cross coupling going on. Â one user gets the data from another users sql search.
In the mvc app it had used the get async method to read the ID record from the db, i set that to synchronous. Â no effect; Â the user makes their own login id but that does nt matter either.
