Create SSAS cube from ADO MDX cubedef

Hello MDX Gurus!

I have a third party OLAP from which I can extract data in form of a ADO MDX cubedef.

Now I want to create a SSAS cube from it for which SSAS use ADOMD.NET. The object model of the two are slightly different. Does it exist any converter, mapping code or whatever that could help me convert from MDX to ADOMD.NET effortlessly.

Thanks a lot!

Not sure what the question is.

MDX is a multidimensional query language. Similar to SQL query language. ADOMD.NET is object model you use to build client applications to connect to Analysis Server and issue MDX queries.

Hope that helps.

Edward.

CREATE PROC Question

Gurus help me:
Here's the scenario...
Have a SP in the Master DB that creates a NEW, empty DB using a name I give it on the fly.
I need to Create a SP in that NEW DB.
Everything will be called from a DTS Package.
How to do this?
RobbieDCan you tell us why you are doing this...

Just seems like a very bad idea...

Are you talking about MSDE?|||I'll second the notion that this sounds like a bad idea. It can certainly be done, but there are lots of things that you can do, but shouldn't!

LOL

Moe, Larry look, it's a DBA with a sense of humor...

Why I oughtta...|||Hey Brett:

It's to automate Replication (see my other posts).

We have a subjective DB name @. the Publisher that has to be acquired, then replicated EXACTLY.

This procedure will create the Subscription DB & then create the SP to complete the the subscription itself.

Clear as Mud?!?!

(BTW - GREAT reply to the recruiter. He suddenly became less verbose!)|||Sounds ambitious...how many subscribers do you expect to have...|||Just a single other instance...But we'll do this MONTHLY.

HOWEVER, we have to duplicate the process in reverse later on.

Ambitious pretty much hits the nail on the head!!!|||I wouldn't support that kind of design, but here's your answer:

use model
go
create procedure <your_procedure>...
go|||Just 1?

That's a lot of effort to think outside the box...why complicate things?|||Got any suggestions?|||Did you get it or I have to explain it?|||Sorry rdjabarov:

I see where you're going, but if I want this code in a SP OR for that matter in an ActiveX module of a DTS, I can't get away with "USE".|||But your only replicating monthly?

Why not dump and restore?

MAYBE 10 lines of code

Done!|||robbied111,

You don't call this code from anywhere, you write it in QA. Since you already have the code to create a database, you won't have to worry about creating a procedure every time your ASP code creates a database, the procedure will already be there...Can you try it at least?|||THANKS All.

I'll do some more work & let you know how I fare.
