I am using script component in ssis with C# code using Microsoft.Analysisservices namespace to fetch the cube metadata. The code looks somewhat like this
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.AnalysisServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute]
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
{
//IDTSConnectionManager100 connMgr;
Server OLAPServer = new Server();
public override void AcquireConnections(object Transaction)
{
OLAPServer.Connect(this.Connections.OLAPConnection.ConnectionString);
}
public override void PreExecute()
{
base.PreExecute();
/*
Add your code here for preprocessing or remove if not needed
*/
}
public override void PostExecute()
{
base.PostExecute();
/*
Add your code here for postprocessing or remove if not needed
You can set read/write variables here, for example:
Variables.MyIntVar = 100
*/
}
public override void CreateNewOutputRows()
{
IDTSVariables100 vars = null;
string OLAPDBName;
VariableDispenser.LockOneForRead("OLAPDBName", ref vars);
Database OLAPDB;
OLAPDBName = vars[0].Value.ToString();
try
{
OLAPDB = OLAPServer.Databases.GetByName(OLAPDBName);
}
catch
{
return;
}
// loop through cubes
CubeCollection Cubes = OLAPDB.Cubes;
MeasureGroupCollection Mgroups;
CubeDimensionCollection Dimensions;
MeasureGroupDimensionCollection MgroupDims;
DimensionAttributeCollection Attributes;
foreach (Cube cb in Cubes)
{
//Test for one Measure Group
//MeasureGroup mgroup = Mgroups.GetByName("Inward Exposure");
Mgroups = cb.MeasureGroups;
// all dimensions associated with that Measure Group
// loop through Measure Groups
foreach (MeasureGroup mg in Mgroups)
{
// loop though all cube dimensions
Dimensions = cb.Dimensions;**strong text**
foreach (CubeDimension dim in Dimensions)
{
bool CanBeAnalysed = false;**strong text**
// loop through dimensions and see if dimension exists in mgroupDims (ie check if it can be analysed)
MgroupDims = mg.Dimensions;
foreach (MeasureGroupDimension mgd in MgroupDims)
{
if (mgd.CubeDimension == dim)
{
CanBeAnalysed = true;
break;
}
}
// loop through each Measure and Attribute a
String DimName = dim.Name;
bool DimVisible = dim.Visible;
String MgroupName = mg.Name;
String CubeName = cb.Name;
String MeasureExpression;

// for every attribute in dimension

String AttrNameColumn = Attr.NameColumn.ToString();
String AttributeRelationship = Attr.AttributeRelationships.ToString();
// get every measure in measuregroup
foreach (Measure m in mg.Measures)
{
String MeasureName = m.Name.ToString();
bool MeasureVisible = m.Visible;
String MeasureNameColumn = m.Source.ToString();
if (m.MeasureExpression != null)
{
// MessageBox.Show(m.MeasureExpression.ToString());
MeasureExpression = m.MeasureExpression.ToString();
}
else
{
// MessageBox.Show(m.MeasureExpression.ToString());
MeasureExpression = " " ;
}
if (m.Description != null)
{
// MessageBox.Show(m.MeasureExpression.ToString());

}
else
{
// MessageBox.Show(m.MeasureExpression.ToString());

}
Output0Buffer.AddRow();

I was successful in getting the cube metadata with the above code.However, i am stuck at getting the metadata of the perspective cube and the Relationships of the measure groups i.e whether the measure groups are many-many. Any help is very much appreciated.
Here is some code for detecting dimension relationships including many-to-many. See the GetDimensionUsage function: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BIDeveloperExtensions/bideveloperextensions/master/SSAS/PrinterFriendlyDimensionUsage.cs
Here is some code around navigating perspectives: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BIDeveloperExtensions/bideveloperextensions/master/SSAS/TriStatePerspectivesPlugin.cs
Start reading around the following line:
if (perspective.MeasureGroups.Contains(mg.Name))
