using version 9.00.4035.00

Your suggestion is not the answer. Changing the connection in step 2 has no
effect, as I described. A different servername is pushed to the OLAP
database.

Unfortunately, the issue is intermittent and I have NOT been able to
determine under what conditions the correct DataSource connection is deployed.

I've simply had to standardize on ALWAYS double checking after deployment
what the resulting target is.

Very sad this isn't bulletproof. Reliable deployment to TEST and PRODUCTION
are, IMHO, very important.

Hi Dwaine,
Good morning!
Cube deployment and underlying data source are seperated. They are by
design allowed to be configured to different location. You can configure
the target server and target database as the deployment destination in
Project configurations, and configure the data source by double clicking
the .ds file in BIDS and then you can configure the data source connection
in the UI. If you want to manually change the data source connection for a
SSAS project, you need to modify two files, the project file (.dwproj) and
the data source file (.ds).

From your description, it looked that you would like an automatic way of
changing the data source connection according to the target server
configuration on the project level. Unfortunately currently BIDS is not so
intelligent that there is no such feature provided.

If you wanted to first change, process and test the cube on your
development environment and then deploy the OLAP database to the remote
server but keep the data source connection to the remote server, you can
try the following steps:
1. First processed the entire cube with the existing local database
connection in your dev environment;
2. Change the data source connection by double clicking the .ds file in
BIDS and specifying the remote SQL Server instance name without testing
connection.
3. Right click your project, click Properties, select Deployment, choose
"Processing Option" to "Do Not Process", specify the remote server and
database and click OK;
4. Right click your project and click Deploy.

I am not sure if I totally understand your meaning. If there is anything
unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will do my best to help.

Best regards,
Charles Wang

Dear Dawine,
Thank you for your response.

Regarding the issue you encountered, since it was intermittent and hardly
reproduced at my side, in this case, I recommend that you further observe
this issue at your side to see if you can find more clues on reproducing
this issue and then let us know. Appreciate your understanding that without
reproducing this issue, it is hard for us to perform dedicatedly research
and resolve it in an elegant way.

Considering the environment specific, I think that currently standardizing
your verification steps should be a good practice in your environment.

You may also give us your feedback on the product at
https://connect.microsoft.com/sql. This is a very good channel for
reporting customers experiences and concerns on using SQL Server to our
product team.

Thank you!
