Regarding install analysis service

Hi Guys,
I am new in analysis service. I just installed analysis service in my
personal computer that has a sql server enterprise installed. When I opened
analysis manager and try to open the server in the left pane, I got error
that no register sql server or it is not in the olap group(roughly, I cannot
remember clearly), then server icon because red(closed). it seems like I
couldn't connect to database server. But it is same server and of cause I
have already register this server. What is wrong with this? Thanks.
it would help if 'clearly' and not 'roughly' took the time to post the full
error and in return we will 'clearly' answer your question!
It sounds to me the user account you are logged on as isn't in the OlapAdmin
group. Add your logged on account to this group and it should do the trick.

Analysis Services 2000 on Win XP Pro. If this is the case, you need to
upgrade both SQL Server 2000 and As 2000 to SP4. Search the MSKB for
details.

Regarding indexes (I think)

I have an issue where i can do the following
Select count(*) from table and it returns 181,000
Select count(*) from table where ncolumn is not null and it returns 174,000
Select count(*) from table where ncolumn is null and it returns 153,000
Now, those numbers should at up to the count of the top one,
I've ran dbcc checkdb, and it returns no errors. I've also tried dbcc
dbreindex with the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?Try,
DBCC UPDATEUSAGE ('db_name', 'table_name')
go
select count(*), count(case when ncolumn is not null then 1 end),
count(ncolumn is null then 1 end)
from table
go

Select count(*) from table and it returns 181,000
Select count(*) from table where ncolumn is not null and it returns 174,000
Select count(*) from table where ncolumn is null and it returns 153,000
Same results there, however,
select count(*), count(case when ncolumn is not null then 1 end),
count(ncolumn is null then 1 end)
from table
returns
181,000 159,000 22,000
which is correct,.but I'm still not sure whats going on there.
Another poster I saw asked if there were inserts happening during the
selects, and its not.
So, I'm still baffled. Something else to note, even if i run them
individually, instead of all 3 as a batch in QA, it still returns the wrong
count.

>|||Perhaps uncommitted inserts or updates are being held open by other
processes and your current transaction isolation level allows your query to
include "dirty reads". Sometimes a large number of updates (100,000s) can
take 1/2 hour or more to rollback if a batch transaction fails. Try running
the following, it will lock any records as it reads and will not include
"dirty reads".
Run sp_lock to see what other processes may have records locked. Also, if
the queries seems to take longer than usual to run using this locking
method, then you can use sp_who2 to determine if your SPID is blocked by
another process.

Regarding how to compress the data file

Hi Guys,
I have question Regarding how to compress the data file. IN my company, the
data file is getting bigger and bigger. Is that a way to compress the
database file to make it smaller so that we can save some disk space. Thanks.
Iter,
First: Do NOT try to used compressed drives.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231347/EN-US/
Use DBCC SHOWCONTIG to determine if your dataspace is badly fragmented or,
in SQL 2005, examine the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats dynamic management
view. If that is a problem, then reorganizing the database space will help
some. Use:
DBCC DBREINDEX or (SQL 2005) ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD ...
However, the biggest problem is usually retaining more data online than is
actually needed. That would require a policy decision on data retention and
then some development to either archive or delete the expired data. (Of
course, if you keep your archive online, then you have not saved a lot of
disk space, but you may have improved database performance.)

I don't think having data files on compressed drives is officially
supported, and compressing the datafile will have a sever impact on
performance.
If you are actually wanting to shrink the database file then, this is not
usually recommended as it can effect performance (see
http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/info_dont_shrink.asp) unless you have an
unusually high amount of free space in the database that you are unlikely to
use (such as the growth rate is a percentage rather than a fixed amount).
Look at sp_spaceused to see the unused space. DBCC SHRINKFILE can be used to
shrink the file.

Regarding History tables in Replication...

Hi,

How frequently will the history tables get deleted in Merge Replication and Transactional Replication with updatable subscriptions?

When transactional replication with updatable subscriptions is running in the continuous mode, will the history tables get deleted frequently?

Parameters :

Version : SQL Server 2005 SP1

Mode : Continuous running mode

Subscription type : Pull (for transactional)

Regards,

Swapna.B.

There's a history cleanup job that runs and will clean up rows based on your history retention.

Regarding Full-Text search

Hello,
we have full-text search service running under local system account and we
removed Builtin/Administrators
from our logins and now our full-text catalogs are not getting populated and
now the only resolution i see is
adding NT Authority/System as a login and granting sysadmin privileges .are
there any pros and cons in doing this ..in terms of security..
Thanks In Advance!
No, basically the reason dba's remove the builtin\admin account is to ensure
that NT admin's are automatically system admins on the SQL Server box. NT
Authority/System merely gives the system account rights to SQL Server which
MSSearch requires to contact SQL Server and vice versa. With NT
Authority/System the NT admin's can no longer automatically administer your
SQL Server.

No there is no problem in making NT Authority/System login have sysadmin
privileges, in fact it is required if you have removed the
BUILTIN\Administrators login as the external MSSearch services needs
sysadmin privileges to access SQL Server. Note, this is by design. You can
implement this via the following T-SQL code:
exec sp_grantlogin N'NT Authority\System'
exec sp_defaultdb N'NT Authority\System', N'master'
exec sp_defaultlanguage N'NT Authority\System','us_english'
exec sp_addsrvrolemember N'NT Authority\System', sysadmin
Additionally, see KB article Q263712 "INF: How To Prevent Windows NT
Administrators From Administering a Clustered SQL Server" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q263712 as this KB
article recommends: "If a full-text search will be used on the cluster, you
must add the [NT Authority\System] account to the server's "sysadmin"
group."
