Analysis Database Installation How to create a new Analysis Services Database from WinManAS.sln Preparation The Analysis Services engine must be installed on a server which can be the same as the SQL Server with the WinMan database or on another server if one is available. SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) must be installed on the PC where design work on the Analysis Database will be done. BIDS is part of SQL Server 2008 R2. The Analysis engine is not required on the development PC. The WinManAS solution is a Windows folder containing a WinManAS.sln file and sub folders of other files. This folder should be set up in a place where it is fully accessible to the development PC. Using BIDS Either double click the WinManAS.sln file to automatically launch BIDS or open BIDS and use the File>Open>Project/Solution menu option to browse to the WinManAS.sln file and open it. The next steps are to create the Analysis Database which will hold all the analyzed (cube) data and the structure of that data and then create a connection to the WinMan SQL database where the relational data is held. 1. In the Solution Explorer pane, right click on WinManAS at the top and select Properties at the bottom of the menu. In the dialog that opens switch to the Deployment choice in the left pane. Amend the Server and Database properties as required. The database does not need to exist already. Recommended naming convention is the Company name followed by AS. For the initial creation change the Processing Option to “Do Not Process” and the Deployment Mode to “Deploy All”. Click OK to save the changes 2. In the Solution Explorer pane of BIDS click on the + icon next to the Data Sources folder. Right click on the WinMan.ds that is shown in the folder and select Open from the menu. In the dialog that shows click the Edit button to edit the connection string to the database which is the source of data i.e. the WinMan database. Save the changes. Deployment In the Solution Explorer pane of BIDS right click WinManAS at the top and select “Show Deployment Progress”. Right click again and select “Deploy”. The Deployment Progress pane will show and after a short while it should say “Deployment Completed Successfully” at the bottom. A new Analysis Services database will have been created on the server defined in step 1 above. Processing The data in the source database must now be analyzed and stored in the Analysis database where it can then be viewed and manipulated by the user. In the Solution Explorer pane right click WinManAs at the top and select "Process" The following dialog box will appear. Make sure the Process Options column is set to "Process Full". Click the "Run" button. A new dialog box will open which shows the Process Progress When the processing has finished the cube will be viewable in WinMan. The only requirement is that the connection is set up in the database table. A record should be created in the dbo.AnalysisReportSources table with data in the columns as follows Column : AnalysisReportSourceId = A human readable name for the Cube e.g. Sales Invoices : AnalysisReportSourceDescription = A brief description of the Cube e.g. Sales by time and geography : AnalysisReportServerString = The name of the server which has the Analysis database e.g. "SQL001" : AnalysisReportDatabaseString = The name of the Analysis catalog e.g. "WinManAS" : AnalysisReportCubeString = The name of the Cube e.g. "Sales Invoices" N.B. include any spaces : AnalysisReportSourceProvider = The default is "ADOMD" which also allows connections from Excel : AnalysisReportSourceUserId = The username to log into the service if required. Default is blank : AnalysisReportSourcePassword = The password for the user. Default is blank : AnalysisReportSourceQueryTimeOut = The query timeout in seconds. Default is 10 : AnalysisReportSourceConnectTimeOut = The connection timeout in seconds. Default is 10 : AnalysisReportSourceOtherParameters = Other parameters if required. Default is blank Details of the connection for the DevExpress Pivot Grid can be found at the following link. https://documentation.devexpress.com/#windowsforms/CustomDocument3253 View the Cube In WinMan open the Business Analysis program. Click the "New Report" button and select the Cube from the dropdown in the dialog that appears. After a few moments the grid control will show the Measures and Dimensions of the cube. To use the cube please read the Using Business Analysis document.
