SSIS Processing of SSAS Multidimensional Cube Fails

  • All I get back is an error message of

    "Analysis Services Processing Task Error: A Connection cannot be made. Ensure the Server is running"

    The server is running, I can process the cube by connecting to the AS instance and right-click processing it.

    I can process the cube by running the SSIS task inside of SSDT

    Just when I deploy the SSIS package (in Project mode) and then execute it do I get the error message.

    SQL Server, SSAS, and SSIS processes are all running under the same account. SSAS is on a separate server from SSIS and SQL if that matters.

    Any ideas?

  • Just an FYI here.

    I managed to get my SSIS package to process SSAS.

    I did it by creating a Job in SQL Agent to run the IS task.

    When I then ran that job, it connected and started processing the cubes.

    What I don't understand is why it works via the Agent Job, but doesn't work when I directly invoke the SSIS Package.

    I am having the exact same issue. Banged my head all day to figure out the cause and finally landed on your post. I created a SQL Agent job and ran it and its working as it did for you.

    Thats all I wanted anyways!!
