I ran into this bug when I restarted the SQL Server 2012 Tabular service. I only saw 4 of my databases. The application error log was not very helpful A ton of “An error occurred when loading the Model.” messages.

This seems to be an issue with SSAS not closing the file properly. What I did to fix was to look at the details of the error and see what files caused the error. For me it was \\?\F:\MSAS11.DETAB12\OLAP\Data\cust_hist_Q.0.db\0.CryptKey.bin. I stopped SSAS and deleted F:\MSAS11.DETAB12\OLAP\Data\cust_hist_Q.0.db.

I then was able to start the server and all other databases went online. I then restored the cust_hist cube and processed it.

Wow, let all business units make their own cubes using PowerPivot and SSAS Tabular many worlds hopefully same data? No Microsoft did a great job, Our star schema cubes are good. We can pull data using Normal Excel Pivot Table and MDX from the cube itself We can also allow users access to the Multidimensional cube, datamart or relational database.

What we get with Tabular is the ability to empower the users to use data models as soon as OLTP changes are made. Using PowerPivot users can now work in excel and use SSAS, Oracle, SQL Server, MS Access, MYSQL… to pull in data into PowerPivot. They can create facts and measures using relational data models in PowerPivot.

Using Sharepoint 2010 users can share their PowerPivot Excel spreadsheet to other users. I can then convert the PowerPivot Spreadsheet to SQL 2012 Tabular and partition the data so each datasource is processed daily, hourly..

The great thing is I can now partition dimensions and facts.

I will follow up with real time dimension and fact processing

The best Defense is Something Different

Easy Solution, Present the customer with a randomly named picture and line that up with 5 different pictures and make them choose their own. There will be some worm that is built to copy this from the users selections but it does not exist now.
