Introducing Analysis Services Scripting Language
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) client applications, including SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio, communicate with Analysis Services by using SOAP messages. Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL), which is the XML dialect used for these messages, is made up of two parts:
- A Data Definition Language (DDL), or object definition language, which defines and describes an instance of Analysis Services, as well as the databases and database objects that the instance contains. This object definition language is the subject of this reference section.
- A command language that sends action commands, such as Create, Alter, or Process, to an instance of Analysis Services. This command language is discussed in the XML for Analysis Reference (XMLA).
