I'm trying to switch the sql server analysis services to multidimensional since I'm getting an error in visual studio when I try to deploy my analysis project that says I can't deploy the model because the deployment server is not running in multidimensional mode. I tryed switching the deployment mode to 0 in my msmdsrv.ini file, but that did not change the outcome. I did restart the service already, but that didn't work either.This is the error I get:
My SQL Server Analysis services won't switch from tabular to multidimensional
There are 2 possible ways to fix this, first is the recommended way and second is shortcut.
msmdsrv.ini
file. Change the line <DeploymentMode>2</DeploymentMode>
in the file ('2' refers to tabular and '0' refers to multidimensional) to <DeploymentMode>0</DeploymentMode>
. Following that, restart the analysis server.
