Analysis Services Plugin Debug

Question

Hi!

I am working on an AS Algorithm Plugin . I want to debug it in the AS Server, but I cant figure out how it works. Now I every time install and deploy the plugin, but if I catch an exception, it just shows me the message, not the stack trace. Anyone, something friendlier method?

Sorry for my poor English!

Bye,

Answer 1

To debug, just attach the debugger to the msmdsrv.exe process.

Do you use managed or native code to implement your plug-in? Also, are you using one of the samples or developing from scratch? If you provide more details, there could be some easier ways to catch errors

Thank You. It fully solved my problem!

Answer 3

Hi,

I have followed your steps, but the beakpoint were not hit.
Visual Studio shows "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."
I am working with MyCompany_Pairwise_Linear_Regression  (in native code)  from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345112(SQL.90).aspx.

Thanks for help,
Miha

Hi, even if the breakpoint is not working and there is some problem in your code, the details of it will be displayed in debugging window of Visual Studio the moment Analysis services will try to use that part of code (for example Predict() method, when you try to run prediction DMX query using your algorithm).
