We are using SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005, SSIS, and SSAS. We have built our Dimensional model in SQL 2005, we have build our packages to complete full refresh of Dimensional model using SSIS. We have built SSAS cube using VS 2005. We built source, data source, cube and dimensions using auto build. We processed cube in VS 2005 by right clicking on solution and click process. Cube was built in Analysis Services. We made some schema changes to model then data changes in SSIS packages. We then pulled up cube in VS 2005 right click on solution and process. Cube is being re-built. After completion we check cube using Proclarity and Excel 2007 and notice the schema changes and data changes did not take. We dropped cube, then deleted data source, dimensions, and cube then re-created data source view and cube auto build then process and now have new schema changes and data changes.
Why is process not working to re-build schema and data changes when we have process FULL selected, Changes only. We even tried rebuild, deploy, and process. What is it we are missing or not doing correctly?????????

Processing cube is different from design cube, processing cube just get data from data source and generate aggregations.

Yes, but to get the new schema changes and data chagnes from dimensional model to Cube HOW DO YOU DO THAT??

We thought you just have to open BI Studio Analysis Services CUBE and <right click> and select <PROCESS> &&& that is not updating the CUBE with the new schema changes and it is not bringing over the new data.

SO, We NEED HELP Because we are new to SSAS 2005 and from reading books, online, etc. that is what we read to do. HELP...

No, as I said processing cube doesn't change cube structure. You need to recreate it.

Does that mean; we have to Delete Cube, then re-create Data source, Data Source View, and Cube within BI Studio??
Your Help IS Greatly Appreciated due to the fact we need to update our dimensional model with new columns, and updated data types and everytime we <PROCESS> cube within Solution Explorer the changes due to not make it to the cube.
