I can't connect to AS2000 on my local machine using the sample.net
application from the xmla 1.1 sdk.

I installed AS2000 with SP4.
I installed XMLA from the XMLA 1.1 SDK
I created XMLA virtual directory in IIS


I ran sample.net
I enter: http://localhost/xmla/msxisapi.dll as url
I click update
I get following error: The request failed with http status 405. Method
not
allowed

When i open the same from IE
http://localhost/xmla/msxisapi.dll

I get the message the web service supports only POST operation

any help much appreciated.

I think you have a configuration issue -- most likely you haven't allowed
the POST operation on the virtual directory...

HTH,
Akshai

Akshai , Can you please explain me in detail?

Please see the following error message... now i am getting "Access
Denied"

The following exception has occurred:
WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied.

Hi Akshai, I set the virtual directory's application protection to LOW.
Now the sample.net program comes with XML/A 1.1 is working Fine.

Thanks Akshai for your help.

Now I am using Visual studio dotnet Business Intelligence Control to
access the OLAP data. When i run the sample project, i click on
connection sample -> get datasources --> it gives me "access denied".
The sample virtual directory is already set to Low Application
protection.

I created a new project and properly configured the iis settings. When
i run the project, it gives error "Access Denied".I added network
credentials as mentioned in the help file of BI control, now i do not
get the access denied error.
(olapControl1.XmlaSoapClient.Credentials = New
System.Net.NetworkCredential("userid", "mypassword", "mydomain")

But now it throws me different error

"Unable to process the request, because the DataSourceInfo property was

missing or not correctly specified. "

The connection string is here

OlapControl1.Connection = New
MSSQLBI.XmlAnalysis.Data.MdxConnection("http://localhost/bitest/xmla/msxisapi.dll",
"Provider=MSOLAP.2;data source=local", "FoodMart 2000", "Sales")

Akshai Please assist to go further.

If I remember correctly, the BI Control only works with XMLA 1.0... I don't
think that they added support for 1.1 -- and there is a breaking change
between the two releases which makes it fail against 1.1.

Thanks,
Akshai

It works fine with XML/A 1.0.
