TCP or over HTTP; it also allows you to analyze data from a local

Advanced option allows you to specify special connection string

and click the Connect button. Data Analyzer now retrieves the list of
databases from the Analysis Services instance along with the cubes
within each database. You can choose the database name from the

After selecting the catalog and cube names as shown in Figure
15-51 , click the OK button. In the View Connections dialog select the
connection currently established and click the Next button.
