First, you need to create a data source, which SSAS (Analysis Services) will use to connect to the source database. **Step 1: Prepare the Environment** 1. **Install SQL Server** Begin by installing SQL Server 2012 on your system. This is essential for setting up the environment required for Analysis Services. 2. **Install the Demo Database** Download the AdventureWorksDW2012 database from the official Microsoft site at [http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/55330](http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/55330). This database will serve as the data source for your SSAS project. 3. **Prepare SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools)** Starting with SQL Server 2005, Microsoft introduced BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) for BI development. In later versions, such as SQL Server Denali CTP3 and onwards, it was renamed to SSDT. This tool is essentially an integrated version of Visual Studio, tailored for building business intelligence solutions. If you're installing SQL Server 2012 and don’t have Visual Studio 2010 already installed, the installer will automatically include a compatible version of VS2010. **Step 2: Start SSDT and Create a New Project** Once SSDT is installed, launch it. It opens Visual Studio 2010, and you can then choose the "Business Intelligence" template to create a new BI solution. This setup allows you to manage projects related to data modeling, reporting, and analysis. **Step 3: Create a Data Source** A data source in SSAS functions similarly to an ODBC data source configuration. It defines how the server connects to the underlying database. To create a data source: - Open the Data Source Wizard in SSDT. - Select the appropriate provider, such as SQL Native Client or OLE DB. - Enter the server name and authentication details. - Choose the database you want to connect to, such as AdventureWorksDW2012. After configuring the connection, test it to ensure that the data source is properly linked to the database. A successful connection will display a confirmation message. Continue through the wizard to complete the data source setup. Once done, you can proceed to build cubes, dimensions, and other analytical objects using this data source. By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to creating a fully functional SSAS solution using the AdventureWorksDW2012 database as your data source.
