Defining Analysis Services Dimensions - SQL Server Analysis Services 2012 Cube Development - page 52

How it works...
As discussed earlier in this chapter, all the commands are sent to the Analysis Ser-
vices instance using the XMLA language. You can review the statements SSDT cre-
ates during project deployment as well as during processing using the SQL Server
Profiler , which is by far the best tool for learning Analysis Services. The Profiler al-
lows choosing the type of events and columns you wish to capture and monitor. You
can invoke the Profiler by navigating to Start | All Programs | SQL Server 2012 |
Performance Tools | SQL Server Profiler . We will discuss Profiler in greater detail
later in this topic. For now, feel free to capture deployment and processing state-
ments to learn the basics of Profiler.
