Re: How to start MDX Sample Application with connection string

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin\mdxsampl.exe" /C
"Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source=localhost"

You are connecting to an Analysis Server -- you should use the correct
provider...

Thanks,

Does anyone know the format of the connection string that works with MDX
Sample Application? When starting it from the command prompt with /?, I
get the following message:
---------------------------
MDX Sample Application
---------------------------
MDXSample Usage:

/C <ConnectionString> Connect to the given data source

/F <FileName> Open the given query file

/R Run all queries in the specified file (requires /F and /C)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

If I try starting it with the following parameters...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin\mdxsampl.exe"
/C"osl-win-vm201;provider=MSDASQL"

I get the following error:
---------------------------
MDX Sample Application
---------------------------
Unable to establish connection.

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default
driver specified
-------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Same goes for trying to do start it with
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin\mdxsampl.exe"
/CSERVER=osl-win-vm201;provider=MSDASQL

Does anyone know how the /C parameter should be written? All help
appreciated!
