We've got an SSAS2005 BI project, and I'm trying to generate an XMLA
deployment script for it. I'm running the Deployment Wizard is command-line
mode, using "/o" to generate an output file and /d to avoid connecting to
the target instance (I want to ultimately do all this on a build machine,
with no SSAS running).

What I'm trying to figure out is how the build code code selects the
default database name when it compiles the .asdatabase and
..deploymenttargets files. What I'm observing is very strange.

If I bring up the project properties and set the target database in
there, the setting goes in to the .dwproj.user file, and the build processes
uses it. But that's a user specific settings file, which I wouldn't
ordinarily expect to check in to source control.

When I look in the <project>.database file, there's a <Database>
element with a <Name> child. But it doesn't seem to use that (nor the ID).

I tried change the name of the project to see if that's what
determines it, but that doesn't seem to change the database name in either
of the built files.

So is there something I'm missing here? Is there some way to change
the default database name for deployment outside of the .user file setting?
