cool that works. What I usually do now is processing from SSIS and then on the error output call a Notify Operator task, on the valid output I do the same to notify when the cube was loaded

Or, you can just insert a check step after each XMLA step containing T-SQL along these lines:

DECLARE @JobName VARCHAR(64)

SET @JobName = ‘Name Of Job This Step Belongs to’

DECLARE @Message VARCHAR(1024)

SELECT TOP 1 @Message = CAST([message] AS VARCHAR(1024))
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory a
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs b
ON a.job_id = b.job_id AND b.[NAME] = @JobName
ORDER BY run_date DESC, run_time DESC

IF @Message LIKE ‘% RAISERROR (@Message, 17, 1)

Steve,
The error I got was that the application for the project – ascmd.csproj was not instaled.

Yes, I would appreciate it if you could send the executable. Please send it to the new email. I’ll let you know how things go.

Thanks
Tee

What error? My first guess is that you don’t have the full visual studio installed, only the BIDS studio. If you really need ascmd.exe I can email you the exe…let me know

Steve,

I have downloaded the samples from Codeplex.com- From SSAS databses to Adjenture works to the SQL server engine. I generated a strong Key but I have not figured how to compile the code. I opned VS and the ascmd.sln file generated an error when I opened it.

Would you be so kind as to itemize the steps required to generate the utility. satrting with what specifically to download.

Thanks
Tee
