Using Tabular Models - SQL Server Analysis Services 2012 Cube Development - page 339

Note
If you only have one installation of SSAS on your server, you can just use
the executable directly as follows:
C:\>AnalysisServices.Deployment.exe
If you just run the executable file, it will open up an instance of the
Deployment Wizard UI.
How it works…
When the project is deployed for the first time, the database is created and will be
loaded into memory. As part of your planning, you will need to make sure you have
enough memory on the server to support all of the models you are deploying and
developing.
Subsequent deployments will update the schema of the database and fully reload
the data in the database on the server.
When the server is shut down, all of the Tabular Model databases are written to a
disk so that they are not lost. Once the server is restarted, the models are loaded
back from the disk, but not refreshed. When deploying the models to the server, you
need to plan for the space needed to hold the models as well as the time required to
write and read the models during the service start-up and shut-down cycles.
There's more…
One key advantage of using the Deployment utility is that it gives you the ability to
deploy in silent mode, which suppresses the dialogs during deployment.
