BATCH Update ?

Hi all,

we need to update many single cells with individual MDX Update Statements.
We're doing this with ADOMD now (C# Project) in a loop.
In order to save roundtrips and put things in one transaction
we considered using the <Batch> Element of XMLA.
I could'nt find a example how to use this with MDX Commands.
this doesnt work:
<Batch>
<Command>
<Statement>
UPDATE ..
</Statement>
</Command>
<Command>
<Statement>
UPDATE..
</Statement>
</Command>
</Batch>

The Batch element at line 7, column 22 (namespace urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command.

Do you have any hints ?
BTW: what happend to www.xmla.org, its down?
Wher can I find a complete schema file for XMLA?
a lot of questions...
Thanks a lot,
mik

You can update multiple cell values in a single Update statement seperated by commas.

For example:

UPDATE CUBE [Cube1] SET

(USA, Sales) = 100 USE_EQUAL_ALLOCATION,

(Canada, Sales) = 50 USE_EQUAL_ALLOCATION

You can also find some information on XML/A at

Basket Analysis

Hi everyone,

Who knows how to write a MDX to do basket analysis based on cube?

Thanks

Hello! I think that this is a task for the distinct count aggregation method on the measure you have choosen,

You have also the option to work with data mining in SSAS2005 for this analytic topic.

Incase if you use Predictive Modelling algorithm in datamining for Market Basket Analysis, Use DMX to achieve this.
