clsServer

[!NOTA]

  Esta característica se quitará en la versión siguiente de Microsoft SQL Server. No utilice esta característica en nuevos trabajos de desarrollo y modifique lo antes posible las aplicaciones que actualmente la utilizan.

An object of ClassType clsServer provides methods and properties that enable you to control an Analysis server. This object is the root of the Decision Support Objects (DSO) object model tree that specifies the databases, cubes, and user roles managed by the server. With an object of ClassType clsServer you can:

  • Connect to a computer where the Analysis server service (MSSQLServerOLAPService) is running.

  • Start and stop the server.

  • Create and manage objects that define multidimensional data structures.

An object of ClassType clsServer provides collections, methods, and properties through its own internal interface.

Examples

A. Creating and Initializing a Server

Use the following code to create and initialize a server. You can use LocalHost to specify the Analysis server running on the same computer as your DSO application.

'Create instance of server and connect
Public dsoServer As DSO.Server
Set dsoServer = New DSO.Server
'ServerName is the Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000 Server computer 
'where the Analysis service is loaded and running.
'An error is raised if the connection attempt fails
dsoServer.Connect "ServerName"

This example accomplishes the same result:

DsoServer = New DSO.Server
dsoServer.Name = "ServerName"
dsoServer.Connect

B. Creating and Connecting to a Server

The following example shows how to create an instance of a DSO object of ClassType clsServer and connect to an Analysis server:

Public Sub ConnectToServer()
    Dim dsoServer As DSO.Server
    
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    ' Initialize server.
    Set dsoServer = New DSO.Server
    
    ' Connect to the local Analysis server.
    ' If a connection cannot be made, an error is raised.
    dsoServer.Connect "LocalHost"
    
    ' Print server properties to the Debug window.
    With dsoServer
        Debug.Print "Server Properties --------------------------"
        Debug.Print "Name:            " & .Name
        Debug.Print "Description:     " & .Description
        Debug.Print "ConnectTimeout:  " & .ConnectTimeout
        Debug.Print "LockTimeout:     " & .LockTimeout
        Debug.Print "Version:         " & .Version
    End With
    
    ' Close connection to server.
    dsoServer.CloseServer

ExitRoutine:
    Set dsoServer = Nothing
    Exit Sub
    
ErrHandler:
    Debug.Print "Error connecting to server:"
    Debug.Print Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source
End Sub
