Can't create any objects within OLAP database - sql-server

Problem
I can't create any objects under my databases in my Analysis Server. My context menus on all the folders under this test database just have Refresh as an option.
Details
My Analysis Server is running locally. I am a local admin. I am running SSMS as Administrator.
I have tried running the Analysis Services as both Local System and my user.
During setup, I added my user to the list of users who can administer Analysis Services.
More Information

In SQL Server Management Studio you can access deployed Analysis databases. You cannot create OLAP objects (Data Sources, Data Source Views, Cubes, Dimensions). In order to do that, you have to download SQL Server Data Tools and create these objects using Visual Studio then deploy them to the SSAS database.

Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio

Backup and restore Azure database using Azure Data Studio

I have a database hosted on Azure and I have connected to it from mac machine using Azure Data studio. I want to take a backup of this database and then restore it in localhost to access it locally for better speed during development. I don't see any option to backup and restore the Azure database using Azure Data Studio. there were several options available in SQL server management studio on windows.
Suggestions, please.
As stated by Larnu, yes that could be possible using DACPAC and BACPAC in Azure.
SQL Server DACPAC extension – Here.
The wizard facilitates the creation and deployment of data-tier pieces that support your application by making it easier to manage dacpac and bacpac files. Check out MSFT documentation to learn more about utilising Data-tier apps, here.
A DAC is a self-contained SQL Server database deployment unit that allows data-tier developers and database administrators to package SQL Server objects into a portable artefact known as a DAC package, sometimes referred to as a DACPAC.
A BACPAC is a similar artefact that contains both the database schema and the data contained in it.

Deploying SSIS Project in SQL Server Management Studio 18.2

i am trying to deploy a SSIS project in SQL server Management Studio 18.2 (SQL server 2019). for that when i was trying to create a catalog (SSISDB) under integration services Catalog. SSMS is asking me to create SSIS IR, and while create SSIS IR, its asking to provide Azure Data Factory Subscription.
but i don't have subscription and i don't want too subscribe for Azure Data Factory. do i have to purchase subscription to create SSISDB in Sql Server 2019? or do we have alternate option like we had in previous versions of SSMS?
Thanks for your help.
Do i have to purchase subscription to create SSISDB in Sql Server
2019?
No, this is not required for on-premise use. The SSIS IR required if your company wants to host the SSIS catalog and execution environment into the cloud. Or, to be more precise, to ADF.
In your case, after entering the password, just click on OK instead of Create SSIS IR just like shown on a screenshot:

Restore Instance of Analysis Service

I downloaded
adventure-works-multidimensional-model-full-database-backup.zip
adventure-works-tabular-model-1200-full-database-backup.zip
from GitHub
I would like to restore this in SQL Management Studio Analysis Services, but to do this, I need to create an instance
According to Microsoft I installed
MS SQL Server Management Studio
MS SQL Server Data Tools
How do I create Analysis Service Instance to log into so I can restore adventure-works-tabular-model-1200-full-database-backup >
Adventure Works Internet Sales Tabular Sample Database >
Adventure Works Internet Sales Database.abf
You need to download and install SQL Server Developer Edition. Here's the Download Page and the direct download link.
Then run the installer to install an Analysis Services Tabular instance on your dev machine. You can run the installer again to also create an Analysis Services Multi-Dimensional instance, if you need that too.

How to export local Visual Studio mdf database to format for Azure SQL database

I have been creating an application in visual studio using a local database in a .mdf (SQL Server) database file. Recently, I created an Azure account and want to export the local database (with its structure and data) so that I can use it from Azure to allow for online connections. Visual Studio doesn't seem to export the create scripts for the tables (including the table data). Really strange how there's no standard way of achieving this. Visual Studio should have a database exporting tool.
You can export the database as a BACPAC file, which includes both schema and data, and then import into Azure SQL Database. This can be done from the SSMS GUI, sqlpackage.exe CLI, or PowerShell. See these steps to export a database. The BACPAC can be similarly imported into your Azure SQL Database.
Another method is the Data Migration Assistant. See this MDA walkthrough. That tool also checks for compatibility issues during the process. Remember that to connect to a local database managed by Microsoft SQL Server, the name of the local server will be akin to: "(localdb)\V13.0". You will have to change the "V13.0" part to match the SQL Server version you are running. V13.0 Corresponds to Microsoft SQL Server 2017.

Syncing a SQL Server CE database with a regular SQL Server database

There's an Umbraco site that various people been contributing content to. It runs on a hosted domain using a SQL Server Compact edition database for the CMS. It's about to go live and I need to sync the dev database to the live SQL Server instance which is hosted by a third party.
I just ass(u)me(d) that I could attach the .sdf to my local SQL Server and use a commercial tool (Redgate/SQLDelta etc.) to copy it to the live db. This does not seem to be possible. While I have managed to attach the .sdf using Linqpad, I can't connect to it like a regular database.
The best option seems to be to script out the entire database, but this seems like an impossible task using just Linqpad (no flies on Linqpad, obviously - it isn't the tool for such a task). Any less onerous options would be gratefully accepted.
You can use my free "SQL Server Compact Toolbox" Visual Studio extension for this. It can generate a script of the entire SQL Server Compact database, that you can then run against an empty SQL Server database.
In the past I did this kind of scenario wherein I need to copy the data from the SQL Server CE to a SQL Server database. Have you tried adding the .sdf to an ODBC then linked that ODBC to SQL Server?
