Hi,

i am not able to establish the connection.....

sometimes it says connection established .. but when i try to craete cube and select fact table i will not be able to see any tables and it says no connection established...

Is it possible to create OLAP cube in MS analysis server using data from oracle database......

    1) what version of Oracle and ODBC are you trying to connect

    2) have you tried using an OleDb Provider for Oracle instead of ODBC .

    I’ve just used OleDb to an Oracle 9i DB and connectivity was successfull.

    BTW, AS2005 doesn't support odbc connection, so you should use OleDb connection for your solution.

    thanks a lot Leandro

    yes... Oledb in analysis services worked.....

    i was tying to first establish odbc connection and then in analysis services...

    but now i think we can directly do it with analysis services datasource oledb...

    this is great and reduce lot of work ........

    thanks

    Having had the same problem, the solution was different.

    When designing the Data Source, the connection parameters were already established in "General". I had specified them a second time in the "Impersonation Information". By choosing DEFAULT there, it worked. Before, I had chosen "Use a specific user name and password". By choosing "Default" everything worked fine.
