Analysis services processing task editor window disappears when adding object - ssis

I'm using VS 2017 Community on Windows 10 and trying to create a SSIS project to ETL data from a SSAS tabular model into a SQL server database. I've added an Analysis Services Processing Task and have setup a connection for it. When I click Add in this window, it just disappears without any error(s):
Any ideas?

How to create and SSIS Dashboard for SSIS packages monitoring

I am new to SSIS. I have created few packages in SSIS which basically insert data from SQL Server to Oracle DB. Can someone assist me in creating dashboard which shows me execution status of Packages.
For ex: When it was last executed, When is the next execution time, What was last execution status, How many packages succeeded or failed.
Thanks
you can use "Reporting with the SQL Server Integration Services Catalog". If you deploy your project to SQL-SERVER catalog and then execute your packages(by job agent or Ad hoc execution) then you can use the reports from the SSMS.
Steps to achieve this method:
Open integration services catalog.
Open projects.
Right-click on your solution - reports - standard reports - all executions.
For more information, you can enter this link
Reporting with the SQL Server Integration Services Catalog
there are also options outside the management studio.
For example you can create a dashboard in grafana (I use it like this), I share a repository with examples to create it.

There is also a development that can be mounted on docker, also very interesting.

SSRS Datasource connection to SQL Azure Data don't work from web based reports

I'm unable to generate a report from the web based interface (Report Manager). The same report in my Visual Studio project works perfectly.
The error which appear when trying to generate the report from the web is
"Cannot create a connection to data source"
The log file error is the fallowing
Cannot get edition information from catalog server.
The report data is retreived from an SQL Azure database.
How come the report can work inside my Visual Studio project but no more once deployed?
I've tried both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008 on fresh machines and both gives the same result.
Thanks,
After a half day of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered it was because the edition of SSRS I am using does not support Azure SQL Databases as a data source.
I am using 2008 Express Advanced Edition. It appears Standard or above is required for this.
See this article for more information:

Is there a way to find out which task is currently running in SSIS when running in SQL Server Agent job?

When I have to tell my boss how long it will take to finish the current SSIS package, I can get an estimate when the job is running in Visual Studio environment, but I'm totally blind when it's running using SQL Server Agent.
Is there any way to find out where the SSIS package is at a certain moment or which task is currently running at a certain moment?
Creating your own log tables recording the steps that you are interested in works well if you are using SQL 2008 R2 (or earlier).
SQL 2012 has created a logging framework for you that will tell a host of information including the completed control flow steps. Within SSMS, look under Integration Services Catalogs and find your package. Right click and look under the Reports tab to get a detailed breakdown of past and current SSIS executions
SQL 2014 shows running jobs in Service Catalog.

SQl2005 SSIS DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW

Hi
I am trying to build an SSIS package to import text files to SQL data tables and then move the text files to a 'processed' file.
I can get the package to run successfully on my workstation in Visual Studio 2005 (although I got 'access denied' on the 'move' operation but I will worry about that later).
However, when I deploy to the SQL server, and execute the package on the server, I get DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW error on the import to SQL stage. I have checked the SSIS service is running on the server which it is.
The data upload is very simple - just the first column from the text file plus the file name in two columns, so none of the 'smart' stuff that might not be installed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Possible Causes
This message might appear because of one of the following problems:
You have installed BI Development Studio but you have not installed Integration Services. Running packages outside Business Intelligence Development Studio requires the installation of Integration Services.
Your package may be attempting to use advanced components for Analysis Services, data mining, or text mining that are available only in SQL Server Enterprise.
In the unlikely case you are using SQL Server 2005 without any service packs, there was a problem with running the Import-/Export Data Wizard. This problem was solved beginning with SP1.
A great collection of tips are in this blog post:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michen/archive/2006/11/11/ssis-product-level-is-insufficient.aspx
Update:
To find out, what SQL Server Version you are running, execute the following query on your server:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
The second column of the result tells you the service pack level.

How to connect to SSAS instance from SSMS?

I have recently installed full sql server 2008 (trial version), for doing a research on SSAS.
I created a SSAS project (with sqlserver business intelligence studio), deployed locally (where sql server instance is) with success.
The problem is that I dont see it in databases list with SSMS.
Is there a special way to connect to SSAS instance? Because looking at link text I see SSMS opened with other structure in object explorer.
When you create a connection (File -> Connect Object Explorer) ... just make sure that Analysis Services is selected in the "Server Type" drop down, instead of Database Engine.
