Speed Up Cube Processing

You can accelerate SQL Server Analysis Services cube processing by adjusting two setting, without changing data architecture or other costly approaches . 1. Use Shared Memory protocol to optimize source data retrieval >1.5 times It’s applicable when your data warehouse database is on the same machine as Analysis Services , which is almost always the case. (There are definite reasons for adhering to this architecture: this keeps production cube intact during processing; cube refreshing is done afterwards by synchronizing or backing-and-restoring.) Go to Sql Server Configuration Manager à SQL Server Network Configuration à Protocol For MSSQLSERVER à Shared Memory protocol is enabled Force shared memory use. Change data source connection string in OLAP data source properties: add lpc:. The connection string will look like this: Data Source= lpc: ; Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog= 2.Disable Flight Recorder on machine which does data processing Go to Analaysis Service proper...
