Deploying MDX calculation scripts with xmla
If you’re a Business Intelligence developer I assume you have BIDS Helper installed. If not then stop reading this post and go and install it. Now. It adds a number of very useful features to the Business Intelligence Development Studio which provide help with many aspects of SSIS, SSRS and SSAS development. One of my favourite utilities is the Deploy MDX Script function. This takes the calculation script for an SSAS cube (named sets, calculated measures, scope logic, etc.) and deploys it in isolation without having to redeploy and rebuild the entire cube
