Error in reporting services

hi,

i am facing a problem in reporting services of Sql server 2005

i am trying to run the "third party tool"(Reports of proclarity) in sql server 2005

and i am getting the following error

An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Employees_'.
Cannot connect to the server 'SYSTEM100'. The server is either not started or too busy.
Property name was not recognized, 'MDX Missing Member Mode'

regards

lalitha

This is a bit of a guess, since I don't really know much about how Proclarity works with Reporting Services, but given that 'MDX Missing Member Mode' is a valid connection string property that only appeared with AS2005 are you perhaps trying to connect to Analysis Services using an older version of the OLEDB for OLAP Provider? You should be using MSOLAP.3; if you don't have it installed, you can download it here:

Hi Lalitha,

Check the connection string of your report (click the "Properties" tab and then select "Data Source" from the list on the left). Your connection string probably looks something like this:

Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW Standard Edition;Provider=MSOLAP;MDX Compatibility=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error

You need to change the "Provider" portion of the connection string from "MSOLAP" to "MSOLAP.3" so your connection string now looks something like this:

Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW Standard Edition;Provider=MSOLAP.3;MDX Compatibility=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error

Hope this helps,
