PWA: Error: Could not connect to the OLAP server specified.

Brian Tkatch

Project 2003.

In PWA, under Admin=>Manage Enterprise Features, we have a cube setup,
but updating it results iun the error:"Could not connect to the OLAP
server specified.".

Connecting to Analysis Services directly (which is on the same server
as Project Server) does compile the cubes without error. Also, using
the same settings in PWA on another instance of Project Server
(different box) works fine too. The actual database used by Analysis
Services for the cube is on another Project server.

When the error appears, the server show 9 Application Log entires, and
13 Security Log entires.

The 9 Application log entries are 7 successful successive logins (for
the same user) and two errors:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Component: MSP Resource Availablity Refresh and OLAP Cube Creation
Component (ProjOLAP)
File: PROJOLAPProcess
Line: 1
Description: <Description><![CDATA[DSO.Server.Connect failed with
error message 'Bad file name or number' Error Number :
'52]]></Description>

Component (ProjOLAP)
File: PROJOLAPProcess
Line: 1
Description: <Description><![CDATA[Error #: 0 Desc. :]]></Description>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 13 Security Log entires are 11 logon messages, as follows:

Logon Attempt, Logon attempt using explicit credentials, Successful
Logon, Special privileges assigned to new logon, User Logoff. And
repeated a second time for the same user, (that's 10), and a
Successful Network Logon for NTLM.

The final two are similar Failure Audits for the same user that logged
in twice:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

User Name: xxxxxxxx

Note the peculiar Logon Process name.

Checking on DSO and PivotTable versions, the two systems have similar
version between the two systems, except for one file:

Any ideas?
