Hello,

We want to migrate a cube (.CAB > 2GB) on a 64 Bits Analysis Services.
Is this possible by copying the files ?...

Thanks.

Pascal

Yup. Or rather archive the database; and then restore it on 64-bit.
Or if you *really* want to (or need to) do it via file copying, then first
migrate your OLAP repository to a dedicated SQL Server database (same
server; servername=localhost or "."); then stop the msmdsrv service on both
sides (which keeps everything quiet while you are copying), copy your data
folder, copy your olap repository .mdf file, attach the relational OLAP
repostitory on the 64-bit server -- and restart the msmdsrv service.

The file formats (both relationally and AS) are exactly the same format on
both hardware architectures. Cool huh.. :-)
