Sync SSAS design files to deployed/production

  • Came across something new that I need help with.

    Been given a project to review several SSAS databases that were designed by someone else long ago who is no longer available. I need help confirming the latest design files and/or synicjng them to production version

    I can view the dbs in SSMS. And, I believe I located the design files from Visual Studio (BIDS). When comparing the two, all the main objects match. However I noticed some members of a role in SSMS was diff than in BIDS. I assumed the designer must have made some changes dirextly in SSMS or that I wasn't looking at the real/latest design flies.

    I've searched and searched for design files but decided rather then continue that (the designer wasn't clean and has stuff all-over the place), best solution was to just sync this design project to the production version .

    How do I do that?

    Of course I didn't want to redeploy because don't want to accidentally overwrite production version with old or wrong configuration.

  • I would create a new project based on the SSAS production instance.

  • Ah. Excellent. Makes sense. I'll try it out. Thank you!

  • That did it. Thanks
