Got an error while configuring an OLAP connection

Asked By Denpet 0 points N/A Posted on - 04/04/2012

Hi,

I was configuring an OLAP connection to an existing instance of Analysis Service (SSAS). 

However, I encountered an error in which I couldn’t establish the connection and got this message instead. 

Anyone knows how to resolve the problem? 

Need your help ASAP. 

Thanks in advance.

Whatsup Denpet? here your problem is possible to be solved. What you need to do is ensure you have a good connection by configuring the connection in the data source.

Double click on the data source and click on the 'Test connection' option.

This will test the connection and troubleshoot the errors.

Another option you can do is also to try logging in without the username or password. It may work. If all these doesn’t work, you may try uninstalling the software and reinstalling. It should work

Thanks
