This topic describes Analysis Services features that are no longer available in SQL Server 2014.
Discontinued Features in SQL Server 2014
| Category | Deprecated feature | Replacement |
|---|---|---|

| Local cubes | CreateCube connection string property | Original connection string syntax for populating local cubes is replaced by the Create Global Cube statement. For more information, see CREATE GLOBAL CUBE Statement (MDX). |
| Data Mining | SQL Server 2000 PMML | The SQL Server 2000 PMML feature produced a form of PMML that had proprietary extensions to support unique features provided by Data Mining algorithms that were not available in the PMML specification. In SQL Server 2005, Analysis Services updated the PMML feature to the newer PMML 2.1 standard. As a result, the proprietary extensions added in SQL Server 2000 are no longer needed, although they are still supported in this release. |
| MDX Statement | Create Action statement | This statement is included for backwards compatibility. It is replaced by the Action object. For more information about how to create actions in recent versions of Analysis Services, see Actions (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data). |
Discontinued Features in Previous Releases
