First Look at Analysis Services 2005 - Professional SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 with MDX - page 73

You have now successfully created a cube using the Business Intelligence
Development Studio. All you have done, though, is create the structure of the
cube. There has not been any interaction with the Analysis Services instance
until this moment. This method of creating the cube structure without any in-
teraction with the Analysis Services instance is referred to as project mode.
Using BIDS you can also create these objects directly on the Analysis Ser-
vices instance. The method of creating all the objects on the Server is called
online mode, which is discussed in Chapter 9 .

Next, you need to send the schema definitions of the newly created cube to
the Analysis Services instance. This process is called deployment.

Deploying and Browsing a Cube

To deploy the database to the Analysis Server, right-click the project name
and select Deploy, as shown in Figure 2-35 . You can also deploy the project
to the server from the menu items within BIDS by selecting the Debug Start

or just by pressing the function key F5 on your keyboard.
