Hi,

for a project I need a copy the schemes / cubes of some multidimensional
enterprise databases from a server in my company to my local machine. They
are running on a SQL Server 2000, but I need to transfer it to my local
installation of SQL Server 2005. The underlying relational databases are
already on my own server.

I created an archive file (.CAB) of each Analysis Services database I need -
but I have no idea how to tell my SQL Server 2005 to read this compressed
file or the extracted version (contains olapdb.inf and olapdb.rep in the
root directory and some subdirs with files for each dimension, measure,
....).

Thanks a lot for every hint! :-)

Nikolas

its not possible.
backups from AS2000 cannot be restored in AS2005.

you have to upgrade your cubes using the ugrade utilities of AS2005.
