Like BI EE 10g, 11g connects to MSAS through XMLA. So, the first step in enabling the
connectivity is to enable the XMLA access in MSAS. To enable the XMLA access, we need to
make the resource and dll files from the SQL Server installation to be accessible for IIS(IIS is
necessary for XMLA). We basically have to copy the files from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\bin\isapi directory to the IIS directory
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\olap directory.
We would get a
provider mismatch as 2008 XMLA is different from 2005. Ignore the warning and click on OK.
I am not sure
whether it is due to the hierarchical columns as normal attribute columns worked really well.
