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.

I have a SQL 2012 instance called LTT which contains a database called ReportServer$LTT. I have installed SSRS 2017. After the installation of SSRS2017 it is using SSRS as its Report Server Instance. But I need it to use LTT. How do i change the Report Server Instance? Using SQL Management Studio I am unable to connect to <servername>\LTT Report Server and I get the following error:
The Reporting Services instance could not be found.
(MS.sqlserver.managment.UI.RSClient)
I am also unable to connect to: \SSRS and get this error:
Unable to connect to the server at \SSRS. The specified
URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report
server version of configuration. Specify a different URL....
You'll need to remote desktop to the report server. Then open Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Click on the "Database" tab. From there you'll be able to change the database the report manager uses.
I have a question regarding to SSIS. I designed a package and it worked fine when I executed in my local machine. I used to extract the data from Teradata and load into SQL SERVER 2008. Everything was fine but I'm looking for how to execute the package without my local machine. I mean how to configure and set up the odbc in the SSIS server machine, not my local machine.
Thank you,

You'll need to make sure you've installed SQL Server Integration Services on the box; then there's a number of ways to go about running it. From there, I prefer to connect to Integration Services from the Object Explorer in SSMS and import packages, using the "SQL Server" as the Package Location. Once the Integration Services on the box has an entry for the package, you'll be able to run it with the agent by specifying a step type of "SQL Server Integration Services Package." I don't think you will need to set up the ODBC on the server itself if you have it configured correctly in your package, but if you do that should be no different than the way you have it set up on your own box.
when I don't see my databases in LocalDB, Is there any service to Start?
I am using SQL Management Studio 2008 and my local instance works correctly but I don't know what's happening to LocalDB.
status both of them in Object Explorer
So I have made a set up file and install it to target computer which has no .Net 4.0 or SQL Server 2008.
I add them as prerequisites and setup downloaded from the internet the .Net 4.0 and SQL Server 2008.
The setup finished successfully.
When I run the program, it gives an exception:
cannot open xxxxxx.mdf file. it is version 650. and your is xxx...
I searched it out and learned that SQL Server installed on target computer is lower than the database file I created (the database file was created in SQL Server 2008 R2).
So, no connections can be opened.
To solve this, What can I do?
Thank you...
You can't attach a 2008 R2 database to a 2008 instance - you can only go forward, not backward. So either install 2008 R2 at the destination, or you'll have to re-create your database in 2008. If you install 2008 locally alongside 2008 R2, you can create an empty database in 2008 and use tools like Red-Gate's SQL Compare / SQL Data Compare, or the schema compare feature in SQL Server Data Tools, to translate your database relatively quickly.
There is no way to open an MDF file with a lower version of SQLServer.
Of course you could add as a prerequisite SQLServer 2008 R2 (express or full).
But the best course is to distribute a SQL Script containing schema and data.
This could be done using SqlServer Management Studio,
Right click on the database
Select Task
Select Generate Script.
Follow the Wizard.
In the last page of the wizard you could find the button Advanced
Clicking on it will give you full control on what to put inside the script.
The script could be distributed with your application with instructions on how to execute on the target machine.
I right clicked on a Database in the object explorer of SQL Server 2008 Management Studio. I went to Tasks > Import Data, and imported some data from a flat text file, opting to save the package on the server.
Now how the heck do I get to the package to edit or run it again? Where in SQL Server Management Studio do I go? I've expanded everything and I can't find it. It's driving me nuts.
If you connect to the Integration Services instance on the server (different choice in the dropdown from "Database Engine" when you connect in SQL Server Management Studio), they'll be under the MSDB folder under Stored Packages.
When you start management studio and connect to a database, make sure you have the server type set to Integration Services instead of Database Engine.
You can find the file path in SSIS under "properties" of the package.
right click the package in solution explorer > full path in the properties window
They are stored on the file system as .dtsx files or in msdb.dbo.sysssispackages. If they are stored in the database you can run them with sql server management studio by connecting to integration services. To edit them, you'll need to export to the file system (.dtsx file) then edit.
