How to create an SSAS server in Multidimensional mode?
I have created an SSAS server using Azure. But it was created in tabular mode. I can't change the mode.
I need a SSAS server in multidimensional mode.
Please help me out.
You provisioned Azure Analysis Services (the one where you connect via asazure://...) but Multidimensional isn't currently supported. Please vote for it.
For other peoples' use in the future... if you created a VM and accidentally installed SSAS In Tabular mode then you can edit msmdsrv.ini and set DeploymentMode to 0 and restart the SSAS Service (kind of the opposite of what Cathy Dumas did here). That will switch the instance to Multidimensional mode.

Specifically for my connection to an Azure SQL Server Database after upgrading to Azure Data Studio v1.41.
When I connect into my Server/Database, and expand the Tables section from the left side menu, none of my tables appear. (Also my Views and Stored Procedures are not visible.)
They do still exist. They appear when the Manage option is selected, and I can access the data.
This means I am without access to Table Design for existing tables and other quick actions that would appear there.
Please help, it was all there when I had v1.40 installed earlier!
I have tried to log in using different accounts (server admin, Azure AD and another user account), none of which showed the tables under server connection. I have also restarted, refreshed and tried the Insider v1.42 build, all with the same outcome.
This has been fixed in the latest release of Azure Data Studio 1.41.1:

Connection
Fixed a bug causing incorrect Azure account tenant selection when connecting to server through the Azure view.
Object Explorer
Fixed a regression which caused Object Explorer to not show database objects for Azure SQL DB Basic SLO.
I can confirmed, as well, that the regression no longer occurs:
We build an SSAS ROLAP cube where data source is memSQL. The cube is built using Visual Studio 2019 and the driver used to connect to memSQL data source is "MySQL .NET Provider 8.0.19". The cube is built and processed successfully. As it is a ROLAP cube, so one of the requirement we have in our hand is to add new dimension/measure dynamically without developer intervention. Now I am looking for some expert advise, how dynamically can we add a dimension or a measure (may be through any Autosys job which will schedule to run in every hour and check for new dimension or measure).
Is it possible to do through any back-end C# code which will update the XMLA; whenever we are trying to add a new dimension or measure ?
I found a good example code at Analysis Services Cube Programatically/Automatically Generated via c# and AMO
This helped me to build a code for dynamic cube using memSQL as data source.
I installed Microsoft SQL Analysis Service because I need it to run a forecast analysis from Excel using the Data Mining Plug-in.
When I open MS Management Studio and connect to the SSAS I don't know how to create a new database.
When I right-click over Databases there is nothing like Create Database or New Database.
This is the image of my problem:
Well... I solved my problem reinstalling the suite selecting all of its options.
I still don't know what may cause this problem if not chosen in the instalation options but now I have the New Database option and could finish my job.
Thanks.
I managed to solve this problem by switching Analysis Services from Tabular to Multidimensional mode:
Stop SQL Server Analysis Services service
Go to the config folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS15.SQL2019\OLAP\Config
Copy file msmdsrv.ini to another folder (you can't edit it here directly)
Open the copied file and search for the DeploymentMode xml tag
Set the value to zero
Save the file, copy it back to the Config folder
Start the service
You can use SQL Server Management Studio to create a new, empty database on an instance of SQL Server Analysis Services.
To create an Analysis Services database
Connect to an Analysis Services instance.
In Object Explorer, expand the node for the connected Analysis Services instance.
Right-click the Databases node of the Analysis Services instance and select New Database.
In the New Database dialog box, in Database name, type the name of the new database.
In Impersonation, provide impersonation information for the new database.
In Description, type the optional description for the new database.
Click OK.
I have deployed my SSAS solution to production. On the production server, I want to process my cube, but when I right click on the ssas cube and choose "Process", I recieve the follwong error:
The 'Database' with 'ID' = 'XXX' doesn't exist in the collection.
Has anyone encountered this error in Microsoft SSAS? If so, can anyone tell me what to do to resove this error ?
Check to see what the Id of the database is by right clicking on the database and selecting properties. Check the equivalent in visual studio and confirm it matches. If you have renamed the analysis services project (maybe for a backup), the id of the database does not get renamed and sometimes gets messed up in the XML file.
Try re-processing the dimensions on their own and then the cube. Failing that, if this is the first process (i.e. the cube is not live), try deleting and redeploying from visual studio.
You can re-deploy the OLAP database from SSDT with a different name and before you do you just need to change the database name and set the Processing Option to Full. You can set these options under Project's Configuration Properties->Deployment.
I had the exact same problem. I solved it by editing the roles in my SSAS database :
And then, check the boxes depending on what you want your job to do :
Then, you can process your cubes with your SSIS Jobs.
it can either be roles or kerberos, I got a similar error when the kerberos authentication wasnt setup in the cube server to interact with database server.
I have SQL Server 2000 and Analysis Services installed on one VMWare Image. The "MDX Sample Application" can connect to the AS and see all the cubes defined. I clone the VMWare Image to another copy and change the IP. Now, when I open the "MDX Sample Application" in the new VM I cannot see any cube ???
I have also developed a .NET program to run mdx query against the cube, it works when connect to the original VM, but when query against the new VM, I got the following exception
Can not run sql statement "SELECT {[Measures].[Workflow Count]} on COLUMNS FROM [Workflow In Progress]" : Error=>The cube 'Workflow In Progress' does not exist, or it is not processed
Have anyone know how to make MDX Application to see the cubes ???
Check in the new VM if the AS is working properly. Maybe you need execute a re-process in the cube or adjust the metadata to adapt to the new environment. You could make a database's backup in the original VM and a restore in the new VM.
