Hello,
Used to work with AX OLAP since long time now. As I am working now with another new AX instance, need to redo all cubes; had hope that with new AX updates cubes will work as expected, but still have problems with them. Was anyone succesful with deploying default cubes from AX, and be able to use them later without fixing it in VS?
To make long story long :) - I've started to work with cubes on AX2012, then it was 2012R2, latest is AX2012R2 with latest updates - problem is that in each case default cubes are not usable after deploying; particular measures do not work with particular dimensions, some numbers are to as expected (i.e. sum from each rows is different than amount shown as 'sum' in pivot), etc. Due to above, I've created each time default cubes, and made mass modification inside to have it working. Today I did same, and - because of now I have setup with partitions - saw one more issue, which let me think that maybe I do something wrong when using AX SSAS wizard.
To make long story shorten - when running AX SSAS wizard, one of latests steps is question which databases / partitions should be deployed:
Made excercise - fired same wizard from 2 partitions I have (AXT & DRY), and seems that even if in both cases I've chosen all partitions to be processed at the end, cubes created was different; the DRY one created from DRY had some measures/dimensions ok, while the AXT not at all, and vice versa; that makes me to wonder, should cube wizart for each partiton be started fron this particular partition? Can anyone confirm/deny?
Second question I have is - was anyone successful in creating cubes using wizard, and be able to use them after without fixing in VS?
Third one - is there maybe any specific manual how to run SSAS wizard from AX? Does not seem to be much to be changed/chosen insode, but maybe I am doing something wrog.
regards
