How to load Fact table and dimension using SSIS?

Hi All,

I am just curious to know how I can load data from a data warehouse to an Analysis Service Cube (both to the fact tables and dimensions).

Does any body have some way to achieve this?

I appreciate if any body provide me a good material which describe this scenario.

Sincerely,

--Amde

How to load data from a data warehouse to a Cube ?

Hi All,

I am just curious to know how I can load data from a data warehouse to an Analysis Service Cube (both to the fact tables and dimensions). Whenever there is a change in the data warehouse, it should be reflected to the fact table and dimension

Does any body have some way to achieve this?

I appreciate if any body provide me a good material which describe this scenario.

Sincerely,

--Amde

Hi Amde,

You should process your cube, every time that you have news records in your fact table. If you have data every month, for example, then you could use partitions cubes by month.

Good coding!

You mean I can load the data automatically using partitions cubes? Because, the thing is we are developing a product that will be delivered to a client. So in this case the user is not supposed to use the analysis service environment to proceess the cube, instead I want to schedule the process so that it will automatically populate the cube with the new records.

Would you please send me a link which talks about this scenario?

Thanks

If you open Analysis Services 2005 in management studio and expand the database with the cubes and dimension you want to schedule, you do the following.

Right click on a dimension and choose process. In the dialoge you are presented with you are able to script this command to a file or the clipboard.

After this you expand the SQL Server Agent in SQL Server 2005. Under this you expand job and choose new job(right click). After you choose new step. In this dialoge you paste the code in to the large window att the bottom. Do not forget to change the type of the command to an Analysis Services command.

Repeat this process for each dimension and finally each cube.

When the job is complete you need to add some parameters and command for the job.

You can also build a workflow for processing cubes in SSIS. Perhaps this is easier.

I understand what you are saying. I want to confirm one thing. Let's say we have 6 dimension, we need to create 6 jobs and schedule them at the same time. Am I right saying that?

How to limit number of connections in Analysis Services

Hi All,

Our users accesses the OLAP database using excel with large data reporting. When the number of connections reaches to 20-30, the generation of reports becomes very slow. My question is, is there a way in order to limit the number of connections that can access the olap, in this way we can use this approach to let user create their reports by batch with only let say 5 connections.

Thanks...

There is no property or knob allowing you to limit number of connections.

You can use different ways to scale your application. One: is to install several machines and configure them to run as NLB cluster. This way your users will be connecting to the same IP and NLB will distribute the load between several physical machines.

You can try and implement simple application based on the DISCOVER_CONNECTIONS request ( see ActivityViewer sample application for example of it) and starts cancelling any new connections after reaching some threashold.

Edward.

How to learn .Net

Hi there,
I'm a SQL Server professional, specialising in DTS & Analysis Services. I have an appreciation of a few development tools such as Visual Basic v5, Java, C++ although have never developed anything in anger using them.
I read everywhere at the moment that SQL Server professionals need to start getting up to speed with .Net in advance of Yukon and I figured its about time I started doing the same. I also want to satisfy my own curiosity about the "new world" of .Net.
What is the best way to start for someone with my background? A SQL Server-centric learning curve would be preferable.
thanks in advance
Jamie Thomson
Jamie,
I think this is a rather subjective question. Some people learn best in
a classroom where they can intereact with a teacher. Others prefer to
learn from a book where they can work at their own pace and try the
demos and examples in the book. Others prefer to just dive in and start
"hacking around" by referring to the MSDN Library when they get stuck.
You need to decide on whether you would benefit more from a structured
learning experience, i.e. classroom training, or a self-paced
experience, such as books, online learning libraries, or MELL.
I personally prefer a classroom experience for something that I am
totally new to, and once I have grasped the basics, I prefer to learn
from books or some other form of self paced learning.

a really good place to start is the Modern Software Development seminar
series by Joe Hummel as per link below. VB focussed but does a great job of
explaining the concepts / issues. Also a lot of real world stuff , about
when its best to use certain language / .Net features etc that is missing
from a lot of the other stuff I've seen.

Classroom learning is not an option as I intend to do this off my own back and can't afford a course.
I guess I'm looking for advice on either:
a) Good books for beginners or
b) Free online training resources.
Any advice from someone in the know as to what I should concentrate on would be useful as well.
Thanks for the reply Mark, thats very useful.
