I need help if any one can... My need is that...I am devloping my Cube using SSAS. I want to access my cube in multi languages e.g.: English, Japanese or other. At the movement I have two languages description in SQL Database like English and Japanese.
But In SSAS Translations, I can translate Measures Groups, Dimensions, Perspectives, KPIs, Actions, Named Sets & Calculated Members names. But there will be a need to Map Columns as per selected Lenguage so that I can display in proper language data.
Suppose I select Japanese the description should come from Column where Japanese description is stored.
OR any othere method by doing I can see my reports/data in any language.
Hi, I have got a column which should multi languages data(Chinese,English etc). Source for this data is Excel. I have kept this column DataType as NVARCHAR but Chinese data is shown as 'Boxes'.But when i copy this and paste on Query pane i get proper data.
Hi,Can the English version of Sql Server (or other DBMSs) store data/records inother languages (e.g. French, Chinese, etc.) ordo you have to use the French version of Sql Server to store French data?Where can I go to read more on this?Thanks.Eric
I have been thinking of using SQL server 2005 as i would like the flexibility i get through UDT. Retrieving the UDT data in managed could is ok but i would like to retrieve it in non .NET languages too.
For example lets say i create a UDT "Point". I insert data in a table that has some columns of type point.
Now is there a way i can get the data of the type point in a point object in non .NET languages like perl, python...
My source is Excel and one column has data in different languages. But when i try loading it to my Database errant data gets loaded. I tried loading data to Flat file with no success.
I have an access database that is storing text in english and chinese characters. I am importing the data using SSIS and it is putting a 'square' character in place of all the chinese characters. Can I associate multiple code pages to a control? If this is not possible, I would just like to Extract the data and Load it into a table, and i will just handle the errors and write the key fields to an error log. The problem is that the error handler is not redirecting the row. It just simply fails. I have changed all the error actions to Redirect Row too. I currently have a script checking if the 'square' character exists but i feel this should be handled a better way? Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions??
This is the error code i get
Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "FDCDOPS0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I've got a report that is using a cube as a data source and I can't get the report to show all the data. Only data at the lowest level of the cube is displayed. The problem is that most of the data I'm concerned with is at higher levels. There's no problem with the MDX. I get the correct results when I run the query.
I'm using a table to show the results. I've also tried a matrix, but I get the same results. I'm using SSRS 2005 and SSAS 2000.
Anyone have experience with this? Am I missing something simple?
I am just starting out using CUBEMEMBER/CUBEVALUE formulas in excel linked into a sql olap db - using this method for some custom reports where pivot tables are not suitable. The time dimension values include Months, Quarters and Years and the CUBEMEMBER formulas like
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1].&[1]") work fine - 1st quarter 1st month etc.
Is there a straightforward notation to aggregate months or do I need to use a plus sign to add a number of CUBEMEMBER formulas together.In other words - Is there an easier way of for say jan to july 2015 totals than
I have made sure that I am a member of OLSP Adminstrator group on the server and everything seems to work al the way till design storgae and cube processing but then when I browse the cube, I do not get any data :confused:
Can someone help me out in telling me what a data cube is and if you have any examples I can look at?
We are in the process of using data cubes through SQL. What we are looking for is to be able to have summary of data, but if we wanted to click on a grouping we can go to the details of the data.
I just wanted to know if there was any infomation/websites I can go and look at.
When I make a call to GetSchemaDataset with a restriction of a cube name with a space in the name of the cube the call fails. Following is a sample of the code: adoRestriction = new AdomdRestriction("CATALOG_NAME", "Contoso Telecom_Contoso"); adoRestrictions.Add(adoRestriction); dataSet = conn.GetSchemaDataSet("MDSCHEMA_CUBES", adoRestrictions); I am running SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services SP2. Is there some way to qualify the cube name in the restriction or is this just a bug? Thanks.
Hi friends, I am new to MSAS world. I need help related to this. I want to pull data from MSAS cube programmatically. Only way I know is thru ODBO, but that won't help me in this case, cause I might have to drill down upto all possible intersections stored in MSAS (at least all of the stored members). Doing this thru MDX could be humongous thing, at least manipulating data taken out using ODBO. I might be missing something out here. Can anybody help. It would also help if somebody can tell me if any other approach is poosible.
I've seen posts about merging 2 databases but everyone is talking about 2 SQL based databases. I have a data cube based on MDX query giving me all the Sales data. I have a Excel sheet with the Budgets in it, thanks to the connector i can browse through my Excel file using SQL statements.
Now the problem that i have is i want to merge these 2 data's into one report i want to provide Sales figures from the cube with the budgets next to them which are stored in the Excel file.
So basicly is it possible to merge an MDX based database with an SQL database ? Cuz all the solutions i have found to far is by joining databases which is always done on SQL level.
I need to create a package that updates the dimensions and cube data from a data warehouse on daily basis. I was going to create a Data Flow that takes the data from the DW source then put it as input to a Process Dimension destination to update the dimensions and use a Process Partition destination in the same manner to update the cube, but then I came across the Analysis Services Processing Task which seems to do the job as well. I am kinda confused which way to go. Any recommendations?
I want to make a package in SSIS for automatic process of my data cube providing some log informations (two INSERT statements to my log table with actual date and result of operation succesful/unsuccesful). I tried to set data source to analysis services, I found my cube but I don't where I can add my cube to project and how can I desingn it. Can anybody tell me how to??? Thanks
I have a problem with date conversion when the date is coming from a cube.
I mean the function "=cdate(Fields!Signature_Date.Value)" works fine when the date is always fill in, but when my record is equal to nothing, I have got the value "#error" in my report...
Which is the best way to avoid to display this value in my report?
I have used the code "=iif(Fields!Signature_Date.Value = nothing, nothing, cdate(Fields!Signature_Date.Value))" but it doesn't work neither...
Please, if my only way to resolve that is to convert the field in the MDX statement, could you give me a code example...?
I'm defining a mining structure against an OLAP dimension. The continuous value that I'm using both as input and for forecasting represents the time to complete a certain process.
There's something that strikes me as if it could be a problem, but I'm not sure. Our fact table has multiple columns (with multiple correponding measures in the cube). The "time-to-complete" measure is only populated on some of the fact rows - the rows that represent completion information. Other rows represent other information, and the "time-to-complete" value is set to 0. This works fine for cumulative time-to-complete and average time-to-complete, but it seems like it could mess up data mining. Will those 0-value facts skew the mining results? I'm not seeing a way to filter out those entries and only include the non-zero facts in the mining processing.
Or perhaps I'm totally misunderstanding something, which is quite possible. :)
I've created a Cluster data mining model and seems to correctly return data. However I've created a data mining dimension and cube but when I go to query the cube it doesn't return any data if I select any members on the data mining dimension. Any suggestions to where I can look to resolve this?
I want to query data from a cube in analysis services with parameters in reporting services. I'm not sure how to make my select statement. Can someone help me please
Client issues query which sends out individual requests to the 2 OLAP servers that are load balanced. The client evaluates the versions of the returned record sets to ensure the consist data being returned for one single query. Otherwise, this error will be seen:
The cube has been updated by the server the data is now obsolete.
These servers sit behind a cisco 11506 CSS with load balancing based on balance type: least busy server, also persistence based on cookies.
My developer says this worked fine for a long time then just 'started happening'.
I have a table based around requisitions, and each requisition has a number of positions. That number can change over time through updates to pertinent rows rather than through transaction-like records that record an entire history, and I'm only able to get a monthly snapshot of the table. What I decided to do is still use one table for OLAP (fact_requisitions) but add a column called period_key that refers to the month the data comes from. So if I have two months of data then the table has each requisition twice, possibly with differing position counts, and new requisitions from the second month are only present once. Then I tried to filter the MDX query like so:
SELECT { ([Dim TimeRequestClosed].[Year - MonthNumber].[Year_Text].&[2008].&[1],[Dim Requisitions].[Period].[Period Key].&[200801]) } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Location].[Region Name].MEMBERS, [Dim Location].[Period Key].&[200801]) } ON ROWS FROM [Requisitions] WHERE [Measures].[Request Closed Date Count]
This query doesn't work even though the data is there, it just returns nulls. Am I going about this all wrong? If not, what might I be doing wrong, and how would I get the query to return more than one period (e.g. tell Dim Requisition to match up with Dim Location on the period key)?
I want to implement population data in sales cube.
Fact table has customer code which is foreign key of Customer master dimension which in turn is linked to census data dimension. Census data dimension have city wise population data having foreign keys of zone and state.
We had existing cubes in our Analysis Server, we were required to move them on another Reporting Server which would be using Data Replicated every night to that server. Problem is now source data is divided into 2 Reporting Database Servers. Table Names/View Names are the same in all the Databases. I just want to change the data source pointing to existing Database to the new Reporting Server. Can you tell me how this can be achieved?
We have a set of cubes and dimensions, and we're experimenting with data mining against the cubes (primarily for forecasting applications). We have a custom time dimension (which we call calendar), not generated by the BIStudio wizard. The dimension has year/month/day/hour/... attributes. But when I try to add this Calendar dimension to the mining structure as a nested table using BI studio, it only shows the Year attribute, not the others. Other dimensions seem to show all the attributes.
Is there something we've done wrong in defining our time dimension? What determines which attributes show up as available for selection in BI studio?
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.
