Commented Issue: Using existing TraceTables [17238]

furmangg — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:51:38 GMT

Hi all,
I m planning to run multiple instances of AsTrace NT Service ( on more than 5-10 machines ) to collate the Traces from multiple SSAS. But everytime I install the service onto new machine, the TraceTable ( say name : TraceTable1 ) gets reset [ all the old entries are deleted ].

Is there a way, I can use the same TraceTable for output from multiple machines not affecting the entries present ?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: furmangg **

I should say that ASTrace uses Profiler APIs, and as far as I now, Profiler when it writes to a table will clear out the table when it starts. That's why we added the PreserveHistory setting so we could save the rows before starting the Profiler trace in ASTrace. Make sense?

There's a setting in the latest build of ASTrace which is:
<setting name="PreserveHistory" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>

If PreserveHistory is set to true, then when each service starts, it will dump all the rows from the main trace table into an archive table.

If you run multiple services at the same time with PreserveHistory=true, this might work. I'd be concerned what would happen if two services pointing at the same table started at the same time, though.

I would just recommend each service point at a separate SQL destination table. Then put a view over the top of the 5-10 tables (plus the 5-10 archive tables) and UNION ALL them together.

Commented Issue: Ascmd.exe XMLA batch delimiter regex bug [14608]

kosteckir — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:19:44 GMT

I was running into issues trying to run an OLAP DB scripted out XMLA create (from management studio). The XMLA was valid and could be run fine in management studio, and AScmd would run simpler XMLA just fine.

It appears to be the "BatchRegex" pattern defined on line 316 in Ascmd.cs. It looks for "GO" statements within the xmla, however the pattern looked for any "go" text followed by a space. We had a dimension attribute of "Year Ago Today", and the ascmd would try to split the xmla into batches, and truncate the large CREATE statement at "Year Ago".

I've changed the regex to include and end string token and this seems to fix the problem, however I don't understand the batching properly to know if this is an adequate fix:
My Chagne: const string BatchRegex = @"^[\w\W]*?[\r\n]*go\s$";

Reproduction steps:
Create an olapdb/cube with a measure or dimension having "go" in the name, anything like "go time" or "year ago today" should work.
Script entire olap database as "CREATE" from Management studio
Try to run this create script to create the olapdb on a new server using Ascmd.exe.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: kosteckir **

We have faced the same issue and following some code debugging came up with the following bug fix: const string BatchRegex = @"^[\w\W]*?[\r\n]+go\s";

The second star before ‘go’ needs to be replaced with ‘+’

Justification:
“+” means 1 or more occurrences. This means that that ‘go’ must be preceded by at least one new line “\r\n” to form a new batch.

“*” means 0 or more occurrences therefore every string ending with “go”+ white space (such as “ringo “, “bingo “, “dingo “ etc.) created a new batch with a broken XML structure regardless whether it was preceded by [\r\n] or not.

Created Issue: How can I add Data Mining Viewer to Visual Studio 2008? [16924]

mobzam — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:12:58 GMT

How can I add Data Mining Viewer to Visual Studio 2008? I have read articles and followed instructions but it is not working. I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R 2 and I am able to create a data mining structure and model, but I want to add Data Mining Viewer so that I can develop data mining in a web application by using the tools and components under Data Mining Viewer. I read the instruction on the these urls, but nothing is working. When I add a component it is not appearing the menu. Please help

Commented Issue: ASTrace: time shift [12950]

koehlerb — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:07:16 GMT

Hello,
ASTrace runs on the same server as AS being traced and SQL where log table is.
StartTime and CurrentTime have 2 hours shift to system clock.
Same events in Profiler (simultaneously traced) have no time shift.
What can it actually be?

Thank you in advance!
Michael.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: koehlerb **

The problem looks to be that the TraceServer returns UTC time. No good workaround, though you can correct using SQL.
e.g.
DECLARE @utcOffset int = (SELECT CAST(GETDATE()-GETUTCDATE() as float)*24)
SELECT DateAdd(hour,@utcOffset,StartTime) FROM dbo.ASTrace

This does not account for changes in daylight savings time.

What is needed is something like the dataReader
System.Data.IDataReader dataReader;
...
value = dataReader.GetValue(counter);
if (value != null)
{ //time is in UTC, convert to localtime
if (value.GetType() == typeof(DateTime))
{
value = DateTime.SpecifyKind((DateTime)value, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime();

If you passin the first Trace file, will it know to keep going with the rest of the roll-overs??

Commented Issue: Where is ASTrace util? [13517]

I downloaded the sample and searched through all the folders and nothing with the name ASTrace is there? What could I be missing?

Thanks!!

I believe the latest codebase is here:
http://sqlsrvanalysissrvcs.codeplex.com/releases

It became a community managed sample, not an official SQL Server sample, I believe.

Found it. Not very clear as to where to get it. The Samples page insinuates that simply installing the sample should get the astrace util, but in fact astrace is a separate install.
