Default Setting the execution location for Processing Task? - 07-06-2004 , 05:12 AM






Hi group,

We use DTS packages with processing tasks inside to process cubes. We call
these packages from the command line with DTSRun. So far so good, but I
haven't been able to find where the connection string to AS2K is stored. I
need that to set the execution location in order to make sure the AS box is
doing all the work, instead of the SQL box.

Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Coen

Processing is ALWAYS done by the msmdsrv service process.
Execution location applies to queries; not processing.

OK, thanks for that. How come then, that we see the CPU load and the
RAM consumption going up on the SQL Server box that we use to store
and run the packeges? To make this clear: there's no AS on this box.

The processing causes a SELECT to be run against the cube's source database, which has some CPU cost. Is the source database on the same machine as the DTS packages?

Nope. The source is an Oracle database. It runs on a bix Unix cluster
far away.
