Adventure Works deployment issue in SQL Server Analysis Services

Errors while deploying the AdventureWorksDW2008R2 database:

Not sure, why microsoft made this deployement too complex. Anyway, i've started deploying my database into my server.

Got the database from the path,

http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/55926

Error 2 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login timeout expired; HYT00; A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.; 08001; Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. ; 08001. 0 0

Error 3 Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'Adventure Works DW', Name of 'Adventure Works DW'. 0 0

Solution:

The solution file for deploying your database is located in the below path,

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Samples\AdventureWorks 2008R2 Analysis Services Project

Do the below checks,

   1. Right click on the project -> Properties -> Deployment -> Give the ServerName and Instance Name properly.

   2. Open the application under administrator. So that, you won't face any deployment issue.

   3. Double click on the Adventure Works.ds (DataSource)- > In connection string, click "Edit" -> Give the Servername and instance name properly and "Test" the connection properly.

   4. Try checking your Analysis services by logging through SSMS.

That's it, your deployment is successful. All the best.... Keep loving SQL. :-) Server

Connecting SQL Server Analaysis Services Engine

Dear Readers,

    Writing my article after a very long time. I am totally engaged with my office works and couldn't spend my time to my lovable SQL Server Technology. Anyway, I bagged my Microsoft award as Most Valuable Professional for the fourth year and I would like to thank Microsoft MVP Selection commitee for awarding me this award.

   Ok, here is some interesting topics. Now, am into SQL BI area :-)

Installed all the services in my machine (SQL Server DB Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)

------------------------------

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2382 (System)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried to access my SSAS, I couldn't connect. I got the above error while connecting the SSAS engine.

Reason:

   1. Check your SQL Browser Services and if it's not started then start the same.

   2. The second interesting thing is :-) :-)  All the services should run under the same Service account.

Now refresh the Services.msc console. Goto your SSMS, now try to connect it...Yes, you are into the world of SQL Server Analaysis Services.

Keep watching my blog for more SSAS artciles.

Happy Learning!!!
