I am new to this SSAS. I have developed a small SSAS cube. When I try to deploy it causes an error:
Error 14
The project could not be deployed to the '.' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
After seeing the above error msg. I try to start the SQL Server Analysis Services manually in services utility in windows but I'm not able to start them.
Please help me how to start the SQL Server Analysis Services manually

Connect to the machine, open "SQL Server Configuration Manager", search for "SQL Server Analysis Services", right click and select "start".

Try the following steps
1)Check the SSAS service account... does the password expired for that account?
2)Run Service console using "Run as administrator" option.

Configuring TFS SQL Server Instance connecting Error

I am new to Team Foundation server and when I am configuring TFS for SQL Server, I am getting below error where TFS is not able to connect to the SQL Server instance where as when I connect to SQL Server it is connecting successfully. Both SQL Server and TFS are on the same server machine. Please advise
Error while clicking on Test Link
According to the error info, you need to make sure the TFS service accounts(which you started the TFS Installer) have permissions on the DB server.
Add the account in the list of logins in SQL Server side and retry
the previous operation.
Moreover, if Windows Firewall is on the TFS box, switch it off during the installation and try again. After finish the installation reopen the firewall.
For more details you could take a look at below similar issue:

SQL Server Service Stuck in ‘Starting’ Status

I am not able to connect to the database engine. I have recently installed SQL Server 2012 after formatting my hard drive.
Operating system : Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit
When I try to connect to the database engine :
WN7X64-XXXXXXX, I get the following error message
A network-related or instance-specific error occured. Could not open connection to the SQL Server'.
I tried accessing using (localhost). It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/SQLExpress. It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/MSSQLServer. It did not work.
I tried accessing using MSSQLServer. It did not work.
When I checked the services. SQL Server status is starting, and it does not give me the option to start/stop. SQL Server Agent status is blank, when I start the service it gives
Error 1068 : dependency service or group failed to start.
Name Status Startup Type
SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic
SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Starting Automatic
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) Automatic
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic
SQL Server Browser Started Automatic
SQL Server Distributed Replay Client Started Automatic
SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller Started Automatic
SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 Started Automatic
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic
SQL Server VSS Writer Started Automatic
I sometimes get SQL Server Express stuck in 'starting', in fact, just now, which is why I googled up this page. The solution is to kill the process and restart it.
Simplest way to do that is through Task Manager, which you can start by right clicking the Windows system tray (banner at the bottom of the screen where minised programs go). Processes tab, Sort processes by Name, find all beginning 'SQL...' and stop them.
To restart SQL Server right click the Windows Start button, start Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, scroll to all services starting 'SQL...', right click to refresh, and stop any that are running, then start the 'SQL Server' service, followed by any others that are set to Auto or Manual start.
I had the same issue and MSDN Documentation did not help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/307288.
It was to do with that there was an orphan Sql related service i.e SqlWriter was hanging around. Go to task manager and killed it. Then the error went away.
To connect to a SQL Server default instance (not Express), you can use:
just a . (dot)
just a (local) (be aware: in round brackets)
just a localhost (be aware: NO brackets)
See the official MSDN documentation on Logging In to SQL Server for more details and explanations, and for even more options how to connect.
Try localhost or (local). Not (localhost).
I had the same issue . go to task manager , search for "SQL Server Windows NT" then end the task . after that , go to your services (Run services.msc) and restart your sql server instance .
Solution works for me in MSSQL Server express edition with Windows 10 environment .

Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not connecting, it is integrated in SharePoint 2010

I have a sharepoint 2010 portal with some dashboards and reports. No I have a permission problem, because I cannot view these reports.
I would like to have a look in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, but I cannot connect to the server where sharepoint and SQL server is installed. I enter the server name and press on find. It gives me the following error:
Unable to connect to the Report Server MYSERVERNAME.
By the way, I try to fix this problem:
AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user
'Mydomain\MyUserAccount' are insufficient for performing this
operation.
First off, you probably want to be using SharePoint Central Administration, not RS Configuration Manager. Also, RS Configuration Manager isn't where you'd manage access to report objects.
That said:
Try remoting into the host machine and running the tool locally on the server.
Ensure the proper ports are open for you to be connecting remotely (and that they SHOULD be open - there are very valid security reasons to block them)
Are you 100% certain you're connecting to the right address? Is it possible the SSRS service itself is on a different machine than the Sharepoint service and the SQL server?

OLAP Cube deployment issues

I'm really new to this, so I am probably making a simple mistake.
I need to make an OLAP cube using a remote database.
After I set up the dimensions and measures and create the cube, I can not get the cube to launch to the local server.
I keep getting the error,
"The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server."
However, the local SQL server is running(from as far as I can tell), and I have no idea on how to go about fixing this. I've tried replacing "localhost" with "." and the IP, but that hasn't worked either.
Here's the guide I was following:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1532/build-a-cube-from-an-existing-data-source-using-sql-server-analysis-services/
Maybe the SQL Server isn't really running? How can I check?
Or am I skipping over something important when I try to process the cube?
you need to deploy the cube to a SSAS instance. See here I have the SQL Server instance and the SSAS instance (check the icon to see the difference):
you can check if you have it running on the services:
if you dont have it, yo ucan install from the sql server installation CD
You need to change the target Server name as the remote sql server name or ip.
In BIDS right click on your project solution and select properties window. There you can give the server name as given below figure.
Hope it helps...
OLAP cubes will not deploy to a SQL server instance. They must be deployed to an Analysis Services instance. It will be listed as 'SQL Server Analysis Services' in your service list.
This is what solved it for me:
Copy the connection from the MSSQL Server Management Studio:
Project > Properties > Deployment > Paste:
"localhost" refers to the machine you are running the Business Intelligence Studio from.
You say you want to deploy to a remote server, so replace localhost with the server name or the ip address (e.g. "74.125.237.146")
to deploy a cube AS you need an SQL instance as source, and an SSAS instance as destination.
regards,
I got the same error while following that tutorial. I solved it by:
Double Clicking the Project Data Source
In the Impersonation Information Tab, I entered the credentials for the Windows user instead of using the service account.
Make sure you have the proper Server\Instance name instead of local host in the project deployment server.
One more reason can be Express version of SQL Server. Only standard version has Analysis Service.
In Microsoft SQL server go to registered servers and click on:
Analysis services icon -> open local server groups
Click right on your username for the server and
service control -> start
It will work ;)
