Hi I have access to SQL Server at work and I've heard some interesting things that can be done with SQL Server Analysis Services. How do I know whether analysis services is running? Is it installed by default on the server? Would it be installed locally on my machine? Forgive what probably seems like a pretty dumb question, but I couldn't find any concrete details on Microsoft's website. Thanks!
SQL Server Analysis Services is included if you are using the following Editions:
Standard
Developer
Enterprise
Is there a way for me to know whether this component was installed?
It will be listed as a service - Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services, or just type "services.msc" from Start > Run.
Resources:
Administering Analysis Services
Deploying Analysis Services Development and Production Systems
Analysis Services How-to Topics
Look for MSSQLServerOLAPService or MSOLAP$some_name in services
OR
Start SQL Server Configuration Manager and look under SQL Server Services
When you're in SQL Server Management Studio, click on the Connect button in the Object Explorer. If you see "Analysis Services..." in the list, then you have Analysis Services.
Also, when you launch Management Studio and get the Connect to Server dialog, look in the "Server type" dropdown list. If "Analysis Services" is listed there, then you have it.

I'm new to SQL Server.
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
1)MS SQL Server Management Studio 2)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
I searched and found this: Restore Instance of Analysis Service I downloaded the SQL Server Developer Edition, but I'm still not able to connect, the server name field is not auto-populating, I tried with localhost\SQLEXPRESS, but it's not working (and it works if I select "DB engine" from the drop-down list). The error says: "A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient). Can't establish a connection to 127.0.0.1:2832(System)".
I checked, and the SQL Browser is running properly, set on "local system".
Might it be a firewall issue?
I can't upload any image, sorry.
Thanks in advance for your help.
How do I create Analysis Service Instance to log into so
You have to install it. You can download Developer Edition, and run the installer to add an Analysis Services instance in Tabular mode.
I am trying to deploy our cube to Analysis services. However it is giving us a permissions issue error as shown below:
I am getting the and setting the servername from azure portal and setting it in properties in SSDT as follows:
Also I was reading and it seems that Analysis services uses Windows Authentication to deploy and you can set this permission by connecting through SSMS. However when trying to connect through SSMS i was having another issue to connect which I am posting as a separate question. The link is as follows:
Authentication with Azure Analysis Services is still quite fiddly.
Here is what we do:
Install the latest SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). By latest I mean including previews Currently at SQL SSMS 17.0 RC3.
Install the latest version of SQL Server Data Tools (also the RC).
Currently at SQL SSMS 17.0 RC3
Then, clear out any cached credentials by navigating here:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\AADCacheOM
You can find more info here
AAS Security is slightly different. There is a specific place to add admins that differs from other PaaS in Azure.
I am attempting to setup Team Foundation server, however I am running into a problem regarding SQL Server Analysis Services.
The installer gives a warning saying that Analysis Services is not running. Analysis Services was installed when we installed the version of SQL because we do have the Deployment Wizard etc, however there is not a service showing in the services window that is running.
I tried to run the deployment wizard but it wants me to specify what database to connect to, and I can't create a database because I cant connect to analysis services.
There appears to be something fundamental that I am missing here, if anyone could give me guidance I would much appreciate it.
The AD account you install and configure TFS 2010 with has to have administrative privileges in the AS cube. You should be able to connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio. It needs these privileges during configuration to create and setup the cube.
How did you install SQL? Try tossing the SQL Install disc back in and install Analysis Services if it's not already present.
If you installed SQL Express as part of the TFS Install, then you don't get Analysis Services or any TFS features that depend on it (reporting).
I have a SQL box and a web box; the SQL box is close to capacity. I'd like to install reporting services and thought about installing it on a SQL instance i would install on the web box, and only use that instance for reporting services. Is this a good option? What pitfalls will I have if I try to do this?
It's recommended to not mix IIS and SQL on the same box. Because 0f different access patterns and security at least.
The fact your SQL box is close to capacity should set alarm bells ringing and big red flags waving. The Report Server databases are quite small, and I'd lie awake at night if I thought it would overload my your DB server
SO: Should SQL Server be on the same machine as your IIS installation?
If you just install the Reporting Services (SSRS) web piece this should be fine. SSRS comes in 2 sections, the web piece and the database catalog so you could have a web site run on the web server and the catalog database would live on you normal database server. You will need to manually configure SSRS through the SSRS configuration utility and specify the remote server name during the database set up.
The downside of this is that you would be required to purchase an additional SQL license for the web server, since an SSRS installation counts as a SQL instance, but you should be able to use a standard edition license to for both instances.
I didn't find a lot a great resources but the steps would be like this:
--install just SSRS (and Client tools to debug connection issues) on the web server
--run the SSRS configuration tool and configure the app pools, virtual directories
--in the same config tool in the database section just specify the remote SQL server and select "create database" and it will create the database for you and apply the permissions needed to the database instance.
One thing I have found to be kind of quirky about the SQL 2005 SSRS config tool is that you have to "apply" changes when it doesn't seem that intuitive, so beware.
Here's an OK link:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3573361/SQL-2005-Reporting-Services-Part-1.htm
Is this possible? It seems when I try and do this manually or via an SSIS task it does not work whereas it will be fines with other editions.
(I'm using my local developer edition as a test environment)
Fine with other editions on your local workstation?
Developer should be the same as enterprise, they say.
It is possible. Sql Server Developer edition has the same features as the enterprise edition
What error do you get?
Is the data source of your local cube pointing to the right db?
Solved this. I had to configure my analysis services instance to use my account rather than the built in account in SQL Server Configuration manager
