Author datasource after restore
Klaus Wiesel

2006-03-24, 9:31 am

Hello

Under SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Analysis Services I try to move an
analysis database from server A to server B.
On server A, I want to process data which comes from a SQL Server
database C, on server B the name of the (identically structured)
database is D.

How can I do this?

After restoring from a CAB file the data source may be changed but it
must be buried somewhere else in the database

Do I have to use a special provider to avoid this?

Regards

If you need it interactively, just edit the data source using Analysis
Manager.

If you need it programmatically, write a VB script which uses DSO to edit
the data source.
A sample VB script that use DSO, look at the AS Operations Guide, here
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...n/anservog.mspx
(Appendix H, I and J)
It doesn't have one that edits the data source, but it does other DSO
operations so you can use it to jumpstart your work.

Hi

as described, I have a problem just editing the datasource - it is
somewhere inside because I cannot process a cube after editing it - the
old datasource is still in there...

Regards
Klaus
