"Unable to count the members of the level" error

Hi guys,
I encountering the following error whenever I try to create a new dimension
in the MS Analysis Server.
"Unable to count the members of the 'Area Code' level.Please check your
table joins."
I have check my table joins, all the valid. Also I am using the snowflake
schema.
How to resolve the issue?
Thanks
Akber.
When you process the dimension, the actual SQL that Analysis Server sends to
SQL Server is shown in the processing window. You can copy this and execute
it yourself in Query Analyzer to see if the results you get are what you
expect.

|||You might also consider enabling the system-wide processing log file. This
is a best practice with Analysis Services.
To enable it, bring up Analysis Manager. Right-click on the server and
select "Properties..."
Then go to the "Logging" tab. Enable the processing log file and specify
some well known location, e.g. C:\OLAP_Processing.txt
Then all of the SQL Statements, begin/end times, # of records processed,
etc. -- everything that comes out in the processing dialog box -- will also
be written to the system-wide processing log file. This allows you to keep
long-term history of what was processed, when, and by-whom.

you can catch the query through the log or through the SQL Server profiler.

another way to understand what AS do is to put youself some value in the

then process the dimension and you'll see (in the process dialog box) again
the query used by AS to retreive the database values.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. " and connection string

Hi, I am deploying my web through a web hosting services which provides SQL database support. I got following errors whenever I try to open my webpage,which never happen when I run my web on the local machine.

I have my connection string configured in my web.config as below:

<addname="ArtHouseConnection"connectionString="Server=serveripaddress; Integrated Security=True; Database=arteh3_database;User Id=username;Password=password;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

<addname="ASPNETDBConnectionString1"connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

This is the source code where error was generated:

public

staticclass ArtHouseConfiguration

{

//cache connection stringprivatereadonlystaticstring dbConnectionString;//cache data provider nameprivatereadonlystaticstring dbProviderName;

privatereadonlystaticstring siteName;

//initialize constructor propertiesstatic ArtHouseConfiguration()

{

dbConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[

"ArtHouseConnection"].ConnectionString;

dbProviderName = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[

"ArtHouseConnection"].ProviderName;

siteName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SiteName"];

}

and finally this is the error mg I got:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Anyone got any ideas? thank you!

Hi genjioo,

This seems to have something to do with the web.config file.

Please check if the connections strings have been put under the configuration\connectionStrings section. Here is a typical sample

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnStr1" connectionString="LocalSqlServer: data source=127.0.0.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>

If it is not put under this, the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings will not be able to find it.

"Login Failed" for SQL Express

Whenever I try to connect to my SQL Express Database with C# code,(.net 2.0), it says "Login failed for user 'TUser'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."

But I can connect with SQL Express Manager.

I've heard somewhere this is a SQL authentication problem, I didn't enable it during installation.

So is there a way to fix this? How can I enable SQL authentication without uninstalling it?

Is there anyone to help me?

"Login failed for user" error

hi ppl,
I'm having trouble connecting to my database using ASP.NET
I have been getting the error below whenever i try open the connection using connection.open using vb.net

I have this error in when using plain text editor as and even using
the visual studio.nets data tools (sqlconnection,sqldataadapter tool.)
The strange thing is that i can easily preview the data in any table in northwind db using the connections i've created in the solution explorer using visual studio.net.

This is the connection string created by visual studio.net (i also tried to use this connectionstring manually in code)
"initial catalog=Northwind;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;workstation id=COMPI;packet size=4096"

Here is the error (same error for plain text and vs.net):

Login failed for user 'COMPI\ASPNET'
...
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'COMPI\ASPNET'.
...
[SqlException: Login failed for user 'COMPI\ASPNET'.]
System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection (Boolean& isInTransaction)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.Get PooledConnection(SqlConnectionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()
BegCh12.WebForm1.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\BegASPNet\BegCh12\WebForm1.aspx.vb:153
System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()...

can someone help pls
Im using sql server 7 sp3, windows xp pro.I may have miss read this so let me restate your problem.

You have an application thaat can view and access data in the NorthWind DB but not the DB your app is written for. If that is true then it sounds like your userid "ASPNET" needs to be granted access to the db in question as well as execute or Select/Delete/Update permissions of all needed objects.|||How do i do what ur saying, is it from SQL server or using Windows XP.
I have just installed sql server and havent done any changes to permission or account (not sure how)?|||Use Enterprise Manager

Open your server, expand Security and then click on Users. right click on your UserID and select properties. Under the Database Access tab click on the Permit check box next to your database. Under the Permit in Database Role, you will want to select public, and probably db_datareader/datawrite OR you can open things up a bit and select db_owner, but I wouldn't use it for very long.

Books Online covers this very well.
