Defining Analysis Services Dimensions - SQL Server Analysis Services 2012 Cube Development - page 49

Browsing dimension data
By now you might be anxious to review the fruits of your labor thus far, so let's deploy
our changes to the Analysis Server and take a test drive.
Getting ready
To complete this recipe, you need to have an Analysis Services 2012 instance for
which you have sufficient permissions to deploy and process a database.
How to do it...
The steps for browsing dimension data are as follows:
1. Right-click on the SSAS_Cook_book_Chapter2 project in the Solution Ex-
plorer window and choose Properties ; this brings up the project property
pages dialog.
2. Switch to the Deployment tab. We can leave the majority of deployment op-
tions at their default values for now. Be sure to specify the correct Analysis
Services instance and change the database name as desired. Note that I have
selected the Do Not Process processing option. I recommend this option
during project deployment because it helps separate two operations, deploy-
ment and processing, and therefore makes debugging corresponding prob-
lems easier.
3. The default value for Processing Option is Default , which will bring each ob-
ject included in the deployed database to a fully processed mode. Once you
are comfortable with your processing option, Analysis Server name and data-
base name, click on OK .
