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.
