6. Deploy the project, click the Browser tab of the Cube Designer when deployment is complete, and then click the Reconnect button. 7.

Notice that instead of Level 01, Level 02, etc. as the column labels for the Employees hierarchy, you now see the names of each level that you specified: CEO, Manager, Supervisor, and Individual Contributor.

A linked dimension is based on a dimension that is stored in a separate Analysis Services database which may or may not be on the same server. You can create and maintain a dimension in just one database and then reuse that dimension by creating linked dimensions for use in multiple databases. Users will not notice any difference between a regular dimension and a linked dimension. As a developer, you will be able to browse the members of a linked dimension in the Dimension Designer, but you can only modify the dimension within its original Analysis Services database.

Part II:

To Add a data source to an Analysis Services project Do this In Solution Explorer, right-click the Data Sources folder, click New Data Source, click New, select a provider, enter a server name, specify the authentication method and credentials for authentication, and, if needed, select a database name, and then specify the credentials for Analysis Services to impersonate when accessing the data source during processing. In Solution Explorer, right-click the Data Source Views folder, click New Data Source View, select an existing data source (or create a new one), and then add tables or views to the Included Objects list.

Ensure multiple relations are defined between a fact table and a dimension, create the dimension by using the Dimension Wizard, open the Cube Designer, right-click the background of the Dimension pane of the Cube Structure tab, click Add Cube Dimension, click the dimension in the list, and then click OK. Follow the procedure for creating a standard dimension and, on the Define Parent-Child Relationship page of the Dimension Wizard, select the check box This Dimension Contains a Parent-Child Relationship Between Attributes and identify the parent attribute key.
