    Hello,

    I took a complete BI project, which I realized with SSIS, SSAS and SSRS (2008), to test it in another pc, in the SSIS I didn't have many problems, but in the SSAS I had to create a new data source even if it is the same database (I have attached the old one in SQL Server's new PC), so I created new sources of data, now for cubes I do not know if there is a way to change the data source of a cube, so I changed the old data sources by the news, and it will be cool, if not, I have to create new cubes and repeat the above calculated members which is very heavy

    And thank you in advance

    If you are refering to change the connectionstring of an existing Analysis Services data source, you can do this:

    * In you are in BIDS (Visual Studio) project, double clic the data source file (.ds), the Data Source designer pops up.

    * In project is already deployed, browse using Object Explorer using SQL Server Management Studio: Your SSAS Instance>Your SSAS Database> Data Sources> Your Data Source. Right click Your Data Source, Script Data Source As> Alter to> New Query Window. Here you have the XMLA script for your data source. Update the <Connectionstring> element with the new connectionstring. Click the execute button (F5) to send updates to the server.

     

    Hope this helps.
