  1. Hi singu
    Hope you are doing good.
    I was recently going through your blog post on SSRS and SSAS installation guide. I have couple of questions for you.

    Please go through the scenario below.
    I want to have an installation like i have one running STD AX installation with DB for Ex: AXDB.

    Now I want to have reporting services and analysis services configuration.

    From your blog its quite evident that , you have used two different instances of DB for SSRS(reporting services) and SSAS(analysis services).

    Assume i have followed, your blog and installed it, and it went well. Now i have 3 DB instances
    1. AXDB
    2.AX-DB-SSRS
    3.AX-DB-SSAS ya.

    Now in my STD installation, i make an entry for few Sales order, and the data is going sit in AXDB,

    My requirement is when Area sales manager logs in into the system, i have to show him, area wise Sales for Product X, for the current quarter, in his Role center how to manage it?

    The updated data is in AXDB instance, and AX-DB-SSAS does not have record of new SO generated in AXDB. how to manage that?

    As per my understanding Ax-DB-SSAS should be replica of AXDB, so it should be handled through a batch job, that updates the AX-DB-SSAS periodically?


    please let me know.
