• SQL Server Design advice for an education data warehouse

  I’m not sure whether this ought to be in the Architecture or SQL Analysis Services forum. I am after some initial advice about a suitable structure for a data warehouse which will be used to build OLAP cubes AS2005. I work in a county education department. Each year we create/update a set of reports and procedures which provide schools with online access to many of the statistics for their school compared to district wide and to national targets, etc. After this year’s, which is my second at creating these report/data, I can’t help but think that the whole thing is screaming out for a Data Warehouse and Cube data to report on. I may be wrong on that, as I’m still only doing the learning regarding AS2005 and ...Show All

• Visual C# Not finding a web proxy class that should be auto-generated

  I'm having difficulty running my web app. It was working correctly, but I had to move the project files around. After moving them, I added the web site and service back into the project. My service works perfectly but my site can't seem to find the class UserService.UserService (which I believe is auto generated by my web reference). I tried removing the web reference, closing VS, opening and cleaning the solution, closing, then adding it back in and deploying - but no luck. The disco, discomap, and wsdl files are added to the project correctly. Here is the exact error message C:\philipd\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\...\Global.asax(5,5): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UserService' could not be found (are you missing a using direc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving VC++ directories across logins

  I need to set up VC++ in a student lab environment. I've gotten everything done except I'm having difficulty saving the VC++ include and lib directory settings (under Tools > Options, In the tree on the left Environment > Project Settings > VC++ Directories). In my specific case I need the platform SDK and fltk there by default. I know what I need to put in to get it to work, but can't get it to save the settings. I've tried updating the mandatory profile several times (i.e. log in, make the change, then use copy to). Hopefully someone here has a clue what I'm talking about and knows just what needs to be done. I think what would help me the most if finding out exactly where this information is stored so I can go in with a t ...Show All

• SQL Server Corrupt cubes in Analysis Services 2000 due to missing roles

  I have a Analaysis Services database with two cubes, shared dimensions and several roles defined (the cubes are small so the multiple roles do not use up all the memory). Unfortunatly I cannot open the cubes anymore. The editor gives an Error like: Unable to open the cube Financieel. An unexpected error occured. Please restart the application. I deleted all the rows, but still it didn't work. Then I tried to migrate the database to SSAS (2005). During the migration I got the error: The accountmanagers1 role referenced by the accountmanagers1 permission does not exist in the TestCube database. This role accountmanagers1 role is not available in the manage roles dialog. How do I repair these cubes M ...Show All
