We can even enhance it with DISTINCT and WHERE clauses, although they are more restricted than basic SQL. One of the main limitations is the lack of a JOIN operator. A number of the queries that I’ll perform below need to use JOIN, so to get around this I wrap up each query in an SQL OPENROWSET command, executed against a SQL database with a linked server to the cube. This enables me to perform JOINs using queries such as
SELECT *FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUP_DIMENSIONS') mgdINNER JOIN OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUPS') mgON mgd.XXX = mg.XXX
etc.
I’m therefore going to create a number of stored procs to wrap up this functionality, the SSRS reports can then just call the procs.
Within BIDS, every item (cube, measure group, measure, dimension, attribute, hierarchy, KPI, etc.) has a description in the properties pane which is a multi-line free text property. These are exposed by the DMVs, so I’m going to make use of them and bring them out in the reports. This allows you to create the descriptions within BIDS as you’re developing the cube, meaning they’re version controlled and always in sync with the code.
I should also point out that I’m using SQL Server 2008 R2. All of the queries below will work with SQL 2008, but I want to use the spatial report functionality of SSRS 2008 R2 to generate dynamic star schema visualisations, which is only supported in R2.
In this post I’ll script out the stored procedures used as the basis of the documentation. In my next post I’ll put these into SSRS reports.
Lets get started.
Firstly we need to create our linked server. This script will create a linked server called CubeLinkedServer pointing to the Adventure Works DW 2008R2 OLAP database on the local server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'CubeLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MSOLAP', @provider=N'MSOLAP', @datasrc=N'(local)', @catalog=N'Adventure Works DW 2008R2'
You’ll have to set up the security according to your requirements. So now lets start creating the source procs.
The first proc lists all of the cubes. The MDSCHEMA_CUBES DMV returns not only cubes, but also dimensions, I’m filtering it to only return cubes by specifying CUBE_SOURCE=1.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocCubes] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) = NULL )AS SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_CUBES WHERE CUBE_SOURCE = 1') WHERE CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULLGO
The next proc returns all measure groups found within a specified cube.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocMeasureGroupsInCube] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) )AS SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUPS ') WHERE CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @CubeGO
This next proc returns a list of measures within a specified measure group.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocMeasuresInMeasureGroup] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) ,@MeasureGroup VARCHAR(255) )ASSELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES WHERE [MEASURE_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube AND CAST([MEASUREGROUP_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @MeasureGroupGO
The following proc queries all dimensions available within a specified cube. I’m filtering using the DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE column to only show visible dimensions.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocDimensionsInCube] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) )ASSELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @CubeGO
Then we can query all available attributes within a dimension. This DMV returns a bitmask field (LEVEL_ORIGIN) which defines whether the attribute is a key, attribute or hierarchy. I’m using bitwise AND (&) to split this into three seperate fields for ease of use. I’m also filtering out invisible attributes, as well as those with a level of 0. Level 0 is the [All] member of any attribute, which we can ignore for this purpose.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocAttributesInDimension] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) ,@Dimension VARCHAR(255) )AS SELECT * , CASE WHEN CAST([LEVEL_ORIGIN] AS INT) & 1 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS IsHierarchy , CASE WHEN CAST([LEVEL_ORIGIN] AS INT) & 2 = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS IsAttribute , CASE WHEN CAST([LEVEL_ORIGIN] AS INT) & 4 = 4 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS IsKey FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_LEVELS WHERE [LEVEL_NUMBER]>0 AND [LEVEL_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube AND CAST([DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @DimensionGO
The next proc returns measure groups with their associated dimensions. We have to join two DMVs together in order to get the description columns of both the dimension and measure group.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocMeasureGroupsForDimension] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) ,@Dimension VARCHAR(255) )AS SELECT mgd.* , m.[DESCRIPTION] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] , [CUBE_NAME] , [MEASUREGROUP_NAME] , [MEASUREGROUP_CARDINALITY] , [DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUP_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') mgd INNER JOIN OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] ,[CUBE_NAME] ,[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] ,[DESCRIPTION] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUPS') mg ON CAST(mgd.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(mg.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(mgd.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(mg.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(mgd.[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(mg.[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) WHERE CAST(mgd.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST(mgd.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube AND CAST(mgd.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @DimensionGO
The next proc is similar to the above, but the opposite way around. It returns all dimensions that are related to a measure group.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocDimensionsForMeasureGroup] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255) ,@Cube VARCHAR(255) ,@MeasureGroup VARCHAR(255) )AS SELECT mgd.* , d.[DESCRIPTION] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] ,[CUBE_NAME] ,[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] ,[MEASUREGROUP_CARDINALITY] ,[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] ,[DIMENSION_CARDINALITY] ,[DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE] ,[DIMENSION_IS_FACT_DIMENSION] ,[DIMENSION_GRANULARITY] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUP_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') mgd INNER JOIN OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] ,[CUBE_NAME] ,[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] ,[DESCRIPTION] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') d ON CAST(mgd.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(d.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(mgd.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(d.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(mgd.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(d.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) WHERE CAST(mgd.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST(mgd.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube AND CAST(mgd.[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @MeasureGroupGO
The next proc builds a BUS matrix, joining every dimension to its related measure groups. Later we’ll use the SSRS tablix control to pivot this into matrix form.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocBUSMatrix] (@Catalog VARCHAR(255), @Cube VARCHAR(255) )AS SELECT bus.[CATALOG_NAME] ,bus.[CUBE_NAME] ,bus.[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] ,bus.[MEASUREGROUP_CARDINALITY] ,bus.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] ,bus.[DIMENSION_CARDINALITY] ,bus.[DIMENSION_IS_FACT_DIMENSION] ,bus.[DIMENSION_GRANULARITY] ,dim.[DIMENSION_MASTER_NAME] ,1 AS Relationship FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] ,[CUBE_NAME] ,[MEASUREGROUP_NAME] ,[MEASUREGROUP_CARDINALITY] ,[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] ,[DIMENSION_CARDINALITY] ,[DIMENSION_IS_FACT_DIMENSION] ,[DIMENSION_GRANULARITY] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUP_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') bus INNER JOIN OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME] ,[CUBE_NAME] ,[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] ,[DIMENSION_MASTER_NAME] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_DIMENSIONS') dim ON CAST(bus.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(dim.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(bus.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(dim.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) AND CAST(bus.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = CAST(dim.[DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) WHERE CAST(bus.[CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog AND CAST(bus.[CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @CubeGO
Next, in order to make it easier for users to find items within the cube, I’ve created a searching proc which will scour a number of the DMVs for anything containing the search term.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[upCubeDocSearch] (@Search VARCHAR(255) ,@Catalog VARCHAR(255)=NULL ,@Cube VARCHAR(255)=NULL )AS WITH MetaData AS ( --Cubes SELECT CAST('Cube' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS [Type] , CAST(CATALOG_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Catalog] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Cube] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Name] , CAST(DESCRIPTION AS VARCHAR(4000)) AS [Description] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Link] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME], [CUBE_NAME], [DESCRIPTION] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_CUBES WHERE CUBE_SOURCE = 1') WHERE (CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULL) UNION ALL --Dimensions SELECT CAST('Dimension' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS [Type] , CAST(CATALOG_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Catalog] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Cube] , CAST(DIMENSION_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Name] , CAST(DESCRIPTION AS VARCHAR(4000)) AS [Description] , CAST(DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Link] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME], [CUBE_NAME] , [DIMENSION_NAME], [DESCRIPTION] , [DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_DIMENSIONS WHERE [DIMENSION_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE (CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULL) AND (CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube OR @Cube IS NULL) AND LEFT(CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)),1) <>'$' --Filter out dimensions not in a cube UNION ALL --Attributes SELECT CAST('Attribute' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS [Type] , CAST(CATALOG_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Catalog] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Cube] , CAST(LEVEL_CAPTION AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Name] , CAST(DESCRIPTION AS VARCHAR(4000)) AS [Description] , CAST(DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Link] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME], [CUBE_NAME] , [LEVEL_CAPTION], [DESCRIPTION], , [DIMENSION_UNIQUE_NAME] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_LEVELS WHERE [LEVEL_NUMBER]>0 AND [LEVEL_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE (CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULL) AND (CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube OR @Cube IS NULL) AND LEFT(CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)),1) <>'$' --Filter out dimensions not in a cube UNION ALL --Measure Groups SELECT CAST('Measure Group' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS [Type] , CAST(CATALOG_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Catalog] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Cube] , CAST(MEASUREGROUP_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Name] , CAST(DESCRIPTION AS VARCHAR(4000)) AS [Description] , CAST(MEASUREGROUP_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Link] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME], [CUBE_NAME] , [MEASUREGROUP_NAME], , [DESCRIPTION] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASUREGROUPS') WHERE (CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULL) AND (CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube OR @Cube IS NULL) AND LEFT(CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)),1) <>'$' --Filter out dimensions not in a cube UNION ALL --Measures SELECT CAST('Measure' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS [Type] , CAST(CATALOG_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Catalog] , CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Cube] , CAST(MEASURE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Name] , CAST(DESCRIPTION AS VARCHAR(4000)) AS [Description] , CAST(MEASUREGROUP_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)) AS [Link] FROM OPENQUERY(CubeLinkedServer, 'SELECT [CATALOG_NAME], [CUBE_NAME] , [MEASURE_NAME], [DESCRIPTION], , [MEASUREGROUP_NAME] FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES WHERE [MEASURE_IS_VISIBLE]') WHERE (CAST([CATALOG_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Catalog OR @Catalog IS NULL) AND (CAST([CUBE_NAME] AS VARCHAR(255)) = @Cube OR @Cube IS NULL) AND LEFT(CAST(CUBE_NAME AS VARCHAR(255)),1) <>'$' --Filter out dimensions not in a cube ) SELECT * FROM MetaData WHERE @Search<>'' AND ([Name] LIKE '%' + @Search + '%' OR [Description] LIKE '%' + @Search + '%' )GO
