agnesroz

Hi all,

I am running microsoft project office server (MSPS) 2007 TRIAL
VERSION on a VIRTUALMACHINE.Its working fine. I am able to make it
communicate with Microsoft Project Professional(MSP) . I am able to
create projects as well. I am trying to create cube in MSPS 2007 using
PWA & have installed sql server 2005 with analysis
services. I have followed the link
http://www.pptspaces.com/msprojectr...projectreporterblog/Lists/Posts/AllPosts.aspx
to create a cube , but i am getting the following error even though
all the packages are installed as told in the above link.
"Failed to build the OLAP cubes. ERROR: Analysis Serrvices session
failed with the following error : The
Application Server needs to have Analysis Services DSO component
installed"
I am really stuck with this... So, i request u to help to get out of
this error & build the cube sucessfuly.. please....


Thanks in advance.

The error would indicate that you are running SQL on a different machine
than your web front end. This is good, however you need to install the
following on your front-end server:

XML 6.0
OLEDB 9.0
SQL client objects

You can find the instructions in the TechNet library.

Hi Gary,

(trial version) on the same virtual machine using Windows Server2003
has the operating system

Well then, my next guess would be that you installed SQL Server, but didn't
install Anlysis Services, or it is partially installed. Can you verify that
Analysis Services is installed? When you open SQL Management Studio, can you
connect to Analysis services? The particular error you're getting indicates
that the process is failing before the request is getting to Analysis
services. The system connects to Analysis services using the DSO objects, so
the fact that it isn't finding them generally means they aren't there. I
think you should run the Analysis Services install again and make sure that
you have selected all of the components including the client components.

So what happened when you tried to reinstall? Did you select the client

U mean i have to reinstall SQL server 2005 setup again, because
Analysis Services is a part of this installation right?
Or do we get a separate Analysis services package? Any link for this?

From what you've told me, you need to install only the client components.
This should only take a few minutes.

Hi Gary,

Thanks a lot for your responses...
I have done standalone installation of msps 2007, u are talking
about client components &
sql client objects, do they mean same? These are a list of some of
the components installed on my vmware,
1. Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 trial.
2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005
3. Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects Collection.
4. Microsoft SQL Server Native Client - i assume this has the sql
client objects or client components which you are talking about.
5. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backword Compatibility.
6. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services 9.0 OLEDB Provider.
7. MSXML 6.0 Parser (KB925673)
Is there any components missing, or a particular order followed for
their installation.
If i run , [Start -> Run -> regedit.exe] in the registry editor
under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
i can see folders like Microsoft.Analysisservices.Server ,
Microsoft.Analysisservices.Server.9,
Microsoft.Analysisservices.ServerEdition etc
i can also find folders like Microsoft.SQLserver.Dts.(.....) ,
Microsoft.SQLserver.Management.(...)
So i suspect Analysis services is installed, i am not knowing how to
proceed, please guide me....

When you say "standalone" do you mean that you selected that during the
Project Server installation? If so, therein lies your mistake. This
selection installs a very limited version of Project Server and also
installs SQL 2005 express. If you selected this installation option, then
you can't use Analysis services. We have to be careful with words.

Otherwise, it looks like you have the correct components on the system, but
the cube building process is not finding them. Therefore my recommendation
to rerun the SQL installation.

You need to install selecting the "Small Farm" option to install the
Enterprise version of the software. The Stand-Alone option installs a
non-enterprise version that doesn't use SQL Server, it uses SQL Express. I
have not installed the eval edition, so I don't know if it has specific
limitations. I downloaded it and will get around to it one of these days.
Assuming that it doesn't, you need to uninstall Project Server, and
reinstall selecting the Small Farm configuration, where you will choose to
install everything on one server.

Hi Gary,
Thanks a lot for your responses...
I have done standalone installation ofmsps2007, u are talking
about client components &
sql client objects, do they mean same? These are a list of some of
the components installed on my vmware,
1. Microsoft Office Project Server2007trial.
2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005
3. Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects Collection.
4. Microsoft SQL Server Native Client - i assume this has the sql
client objects or client components which you are talking about.
5. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backword Compatibility.
6. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services 9.0 OLEDB Provider.
7. MSXML 6.0 Parser (KB925673)
Is there any components missing, or a particular order followed for
their installation.
If i run , [Start -> Run -> regedit.exe] in the registry editor
under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
i can see folders like Microsoft.Analysisservices.Server ,
Microsoft.Analysisservices.Server.9,
Microsoft.Analysisservices.ServerEdition etc
i can also find folders like Microsoft.SQLserver.Dts.(.....) ,
Microsoft.SQLserver.Management.(...)
So i suspect Analysis services is installed, i am not knowing how to
proceed, please guide me....
Yes i have selected "standalone" during project server
installation. so do u mean to say i will not be able to access
analysis services & hence can't create cubes...
U also told me to rerun sql installation, what you mean by that , have
a sql server 2005 setup package & install from this or how... if so, i
have sqlserver2005 (SQLEVAL.EXE) which i had installed & after this
only i was geting the error which i posted u first... Please please,
help me.. im totally confused...

Hi gary,

Thanks a lot for being a very patient listener & guiding me ... ur
sugestions where very helpful..
I did the farm installation [ by doing sql 2005 installation first &
following the deployment for office project server 2007.doc] Build a
cube as said in cube building service in office project server
2007.doc for sql 2005 analysis services. I have "cube build request
completed successfully " displayed on PWA, i wanted to know whether
this only is the interface i.e the settings we do in pwa(server
settings->build->settings->build now) cube creation or is there any
other interface used by msps 2007, i wanted to make sure whether im
done with cube creation , if so how to work with the cube built...
please please guide me...

The next step is to create custom fields that you want to use as dimensions
and facts in the cube, where the former is very important to building
interesting views. After you configure your fields and look-up tables, you
need to configure the cube by adding the fields you want as dimensions and
facts. Next you need to load some resources and projects and assign the
custom field values to them. Finally, you must create some views. That's
all you have to do!

You need to install selecting the "Small Farm" option to install the
Enterprise version of the software. The Stand-Alone option installs a
non-enterprise version that doesn't use SQL Server, it uses SQL Express.
I
have not installed the eval edition, so I don't know if it has specific
limitations. I downloaded it and will get around to it one of these days.
Assuming that it doesn't, you need to uninstall Project Server, and
reinstall selecting the Small Farm configuration, where you will choose
to
install everything on one server.

When you say "standalone" do you mean that you selected that during
the
Project Server installation? If so, therein lies your mistake. This
selection installs a very limited version of Project Server and also
installs SQL 2005 express. If you selected this installation option,
then
you can't use Analysis services. We have to be careful with words.
Otherwise, it looks like you have the correct components on the
system,
but
thecubebuilding process is not finding them. Therefore my
recommendation
to rerun the SQL installation.

If you are working with an empty Project Server database, there's nothing
for you to report on in the cube, and therefore nothing of interest. the
point of my last post is that the cube is the last thing to concern yourself
with when you implement Project Server other than to make sure that the
system is correctly configured and you are ready to support the cube.
