Im hoping to convert a table which has a DATETIMEOFFSET field, down to a DATETIME field BUT recalculates the time by taking notice of the offset. This, in. Four new date and timerelated data types in SQL Server 2008 address the limitations of previous versions DATETIME and SMALLDATETIME data types. For the final step Ive put together some SQL to query the above table and send it as an HTML email. Feel free to pad this out with more options.

This can be achieved in SSIS using the Analysis Services Execute DDL Task or manually, through Management studio GUIbut to have a little fun make the task more flexible Im going to script this with ASSLTMSL build a notification round it. We can then schedule this as a step in a SQL agent job, call it from SSIS or Power. Shell. The easiest way to get started was for me to choose the Process Database option in SSMS and once the options are set, choosing to script to a new Query Window. This gives us a quick script to work with without the hassle of typing it out myself. I can then adjust or add to it as needed. The Importance of Compatibility Level. This was the XMLA generated for processing a tabular model called Customer Accounts which sits on a SQL Server 2. SSAS installation I have been playing with. One thing to note here is that the Compatibility Level for this DB is set to SQL Server 2. SP1 or later 1. 10. Process xmlnshttp schemas. Type Process. Defaultlt Type. Object. lt Database. ID Customer Accountslt Database. ID. lt Object. Process lt Process xmlnshttp schemas. Type Process. Defaultlt Type lt Object lt Database. ID Customer Accountslt Database. ID lt Object lt Process. According to Microsoft the language this is using is Analysis Services Scripting Language ASSL for XMLA. The importance of your databases compatibility level keeping it consistent is that this script will not work if you execute it against a tabular model with a Compatibility Level of 1. XMLA is no longer usedfor tabular models as Microsoftchanged the scripting language. SQL Server 2. 01. TMSL for scripting Tabular model databases. Heres excerpts from the MSDN page that clarifies the change. Tabular Model Scripting Language TMSL is the command and object model definition syntax for tabular databases at compatibility level 1. SQL Server 2. 01. Analysis Services. TMSL communicates to Analysis Services through the XMLA protocol, where the XMLA. Execute method accepts both JSON based statement scripts in TMSL as well as the traditional XML based scripts in Analysis Services Scripting Language ASSL for XMLA. ASSL is not ideal for Tabular models, but designing and implementing a more semanticlly correct scripting language requuired deep changes across the spectrum of the Analysis Services component architecture. Changes of this magnitude can only be made in major version releases, and only when all components are impacted by this change can be updated in tandem. The main point to note with this change is that we didnt see a transition version with support for both ASSL TMSL. Its a straight cut. TMSL and 1. 20. 0 wont be able to use XMLA. Dont Panic There is a workaround however, that will help you move a script between compatibility levels. Ill go into that later. The headache is, if you have any tabular models you are thinking about moving up to Compatibility Level 1. ALL need to be recreated using TMSL You may have also noticed, that even though we are using a 1. TMSL script, that SSAS is still using an XMLA window in Management Studio. This is because SSAS still uses the XMLA protocol which will accept both JSON and ASSL. The XMLA protocol accepts both but SSAS does not, which makes transition to the higher, 1. Long live TMSL Using the same settings in the Process Database wizard against a 1. Tabular DB generates the following script. Customer Accounts. Customer Accounts            . So, using this as our starting point, we can flesh the script out a bit. We can add further metadata to the script using the description definition. If you wanted to only process a table that can be defined using the table parameter. All options are defined in the Microsoft reference page for the Refresh command. This is where I explain what this script does. Customer Accounts. Date.   refresh description This is where I explain what this script does,    type automatic,    objects               database Customer Accounts        table Date            Executing TMSL with SQL Agent. Now that we have a script to work with, lets create the job to surround it. Create a SQL Agent Job on a DB engine name the job appropriately. Create a new step with the following settings Type SQL Server Analysis Services Command. Run As SQL Server Agent Service Account. Server SSAS0. 1. Paste the finished TMSL script into the Command window, name the step appropriately click OK. Jumping aside for a minute, I mentioned at the start that there is a workaround to get TMSL to execute in an 1. This is how we can get round that. As TMSL is only supported in SQL Server 2. SQL Agent job up as shown above. To do this we can wrap the JSON in XMLA which can be handled by a SQL 2. Agent job. Heres an example. Statement xmlnsurn schemas microsoft com xml analysis. Customer Accounts. Statement lt Statement xmlnsurn schemas microsoft com xml analysis   refresh     type automatic,    objects               database Customer Accounts            lt Statement. With our Process DB step setup, we now want to look at logging notification of success. We want to provide information in an email format that will help admins or users know the database has been processed. We can query the SSAS engine for the last processed date of the database. This will have to be an MDX query so Ill need to get the SQL Agent step to store the output. The final email step can then pick that up send the email. Create a new step with the following settings Type SQL Server Analysis Services Query. Run As SQL Server Agent Service Account. Server SSAS0. 1. Database Customer Accounts drop down. Now we want to paste this query into the Command window. This returns the name of the DB its last processed Date. You can test it out in an MDX query window on the SSAS instance. CATALOGNAME. DATEMODIFIED. SYSTEM. DBSCHEMACATALOGS. CATALOGNAME Customer AccountsSELECTCATALOGNAME,DATEMODIFIEDFROMSYSTEM. DBSCHEMACATALOGSWHERECATALOGNAMECustomer Accounts. Now Click Advanced check the Log to Table checkbox. This logs the job step output Our DB last processed date to the msdb. Well then add logic to the email step to find return these values. For the final step Ive put together some SQL to query the above table and send it as an HTML email. Feel free to pad this out with more options. I. e. Check if the cube has processed today first send a different email. Highlight the datetime if the refresh took longer than XX mins assuming you know the start time. Create a new step with the following settings. Type Transact SQL script T SQL. Natural Reader Install Voices Movie. Run As SQL Server Agent Service Account. Paste in the below code or a variation of it depending on your formatting preferences this is a variation on my SSRS failed subscriptions SQL script, which utilises Database Mail to notify of completion.
