DTS and Analysis Services

  • Does anyone know how I can connect to Analysis services from the DTS designer?

  • If you are looking to do processing, there is an Analysis Services Processing Task. So far as an icon is concerned, it's shaped like a cube.

    If you are looking to connect to it as a data source, you always have the option of selecting Other Connection (Globe in front of a Window). There you can select to use the OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services (you may have 2 versions, one specifically for 8.0). The Data Source should be the server name and the rest is self-explanatory.

  • Thanks I really appreciate it. I am however getting an error. "BindMoniker Failed" Unspecified error. This happens when I try to create the OLAP connection. I believe this is because of the OLE. Have you seen this before?

    Thanks
