SQL 2008 analysis services for mops2007

Well we sorted it

It’s a bank holiday today but here’s the route we took

Installed SQL 2005 components from dec2005 feature pack on app server

Native client

Bacwards compatibility

  • note: xmo not installed due to SQL 2008 reporting services addon for sharepoint wouldn’t let it

Installed the following bits on app server to get things working

SQL 2008 native client

Xmo 2005 sp 3 cu5 - to get around the previous issue noted KB 972511

Only took a week :(

    Hi Carl,

    I know its been a long while since you posted this but the dreaded problem has crept up again when I have rebuilt a customers SP & Project 2007 environment. I have followed Brian's very detailed article and also followed the updates above caused by RS Add in.

    The XMO installer runs fine however I still get an issue with the Cube Builder service complaining about Application Server needs to have Analysis Services server DSO Component installed.

    Does the server need a reboot after installation of the XMO tools to take effect?

    Many Thanks

    Geraint

Restoring PWA Site to another Web App in the same Farm

The scenario is this: SharePoint 2016 Farm with Project Server Two Web Apps Development UAT One PWA on Development Web App. I want to copy the PWA Site on Development web app to UAT to support a testing cycle. As far as I knew there were two options: 1) Content Database Restore and Attach Process would be backup your Dev Content Database, Restore to a new Content Database for QA, then mount the database on the appropriate web app and your off.... Problem:  Although you can do this with the -AssignNewDatabaseID switch in Powershell (to avoid two content db's having the same database id) the Site Collection (PWA) in the db still retains its SiteID which means there is a duplicate SiteID in the Configuration Database.  This stops the PWA site being created and alllocated correctly and becomes essentially orphaned. This method is only any good for MOVING not COPYING Back to the drawing board... 2) Backup-SPSite / Restore-SPSite I didn't believe this w

Migration Project Server (2010 to 2019) Issue 1 - Upgrading from 2013 to 2016 - Error encountered while migrating project data in Content database. The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users

I was intending to write a set of posts on the topic of migrating SharePoint and Project Server from 2010 on premise through 2013, 2016 to 2019 Azure, using SQL Managed Instance as the backend SQL Service.  This set of posts are still getting drafted and updated as we move through this cycle, but I came across a huge blocker this week that I wanted to post on, whilst it was fresh. Our Azure migration machines (2013 and 2016) are: - dual core 2.3ghz - 28GB Ram 2013 server is Windows Server 2012 R2 running SQL 2012 SP1 2016 server is Windows Server 2016 running SQL 2014 SP1 The Project Server dataset we are dealing with here is c.100GB (50% archive data). The uplift from SP/PS 2010 to 2013 went without a hitch over a 2.5hr period which was a huge win.  However when attempting to upgrade to 2016 we hit a hitch. Firstly some background:  When you perform the Migrate-SPProjectDatabase command, the following will happen (well it certainly did to us) - the ProjectWebApp DB fro
