You can also test the connection with this page MDX.htm. Please save this page to desktop before running it. Sometime it is necessary to restart the IIS service or the PC for the XML/A web service to work.

You might need to explicitly enable ISAPI extensions for XML/A to work.

Enabling the HTTP compression on the web server can significantly improve performance. This article explains how to enable HTTP compression. Make sure that HTTP compression does not have caching enabled. Use MetaEdit tool to set parameter "max-age"property should be set to zero.

Your server does not seem to have ASP.NET configured. Please take these steps:

1. Go to Default Website Properties, Home Directory Tab, Configuration..., App Mappings Tab, Find ASPX.
2. If you could not find ASPX run the following the command line:
   %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Please download and run this script. It will remove ReportPortal from your registry and from the list.

You can also manually remove the product from Windows Registry by searching for "ReportPortal" under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products. (It is recommended that you backup Windows Registry before updating it.) The ReportPortal folder under web root folder (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot) will also have to be deleted.

Yes, this can accomplished in two steps:

1. Uninstall the Evaluation version of Report Portal. Choose "NO" when asked to delete the database.
2. Install Report Portal by double clicking on ReportPortalSetup.msi file. Choose the same database name used by the Evaluation version.

Download backup file FoodMart2000.zip. Open "SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. Right click on "Databases" and choose "Restore..."

It looks like your Reporting Services "ReportServer" virtual directory is using Windows Integrated Authentication. XMLA web service is unable to handle a Windows Authentication. After being authenticated by Reporting Services virtual directory, your browser challenges XMLA service and the service breaks. Please enable basic anonymous/basic authentication instead for "ReportServer" virtual directory.

You will need to configure the amount of memory used by XMLA. Please open datasources.xml (C:\Program Files\Microsoft XML For Analysis SDK\Config\datasources.xml) file in Notepad. Change text inside DataSourceInfo XML tag like so:

<DataSourceInfo> Provider=MSOLAP.2;Data Source=local; Client Cache Size=150; Execution Location=3; Default Isolation Mode=1; Large Level Threshold=100; </DataSourceInfo>

Here are the connection properties to change:

1. Client Cache Size=150; - try to make smaller
2. Execution Location=3; 3 - Queries are executed on the server.
3. Default Isolation Mode=1;
4. Large Level Threshold=100; - try to make smaller

Please open Web.config and uncomment this section:
<httpModules>
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/>
