Automate deployment of XMLA / documentation on Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla


I'm looking to automate the deployment of XMLA scripts. I've come across an article that gives a small demo, but I'm hoping to find more info.

Specifically, where is the documentation for Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla.XmlaClient and what is the best approach for overridding the database and connection values that are embedded in the XMLA script?


Solution

  • Apparently Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla.XmlaClient is an undocumented library that is actually part of Management Studio and is not re-distributable. I think that using one of Jason's suggestions or the AMO library are your only approaches.
