See if this helps you,

Look at Appendix C: How to flush query results cache.

hi

i'm doing performance testing and i would REALLY love to be able to
turn off server query results caching in Analysis Services so i can
get an idea of how long a query takes to run against the actual data.

right now, to get an "objective" query time i'm resetting OLAP service
after each query run, but as you can imagine as i'm testing a lot of
queries this adds significant time overhead.

is there any way to configure Analysis Services to NOT CACHE results
in ANY WAY? (to avoid PTS caching I use: ExecutionLocation=3,
IsolationMode=1, ClientCacheSize=0 -- but this is only for client-side
caching).

thanks!

thanks for your response, but i think you missed my point. i know how
to flush the cache. what i want to know is how to avoid having to
flush the cache before each query -- and the only way to do that is to
turn off caching. so i want to know if there is a way to stop server
side query results caching.

anyone?

Sorry. No, you can't. The best you can do is to run the script that was
provided. It is significantly faster than restarting the entire service.

thanks! for some reason it didn't really occur to me that the script
in the white paper might be faster -- which it is. it's a pretty
significant improvement.
