Question on cube and dimension deployment in production

Hi, all experts here,

Would any of you here shed me any light on how could we deploy cubes and dimensions to other server rather than the one where they are created? And also what permissions at least are needed to be set up for them to be accessed in production enviornment?

Hope it is clear for your help.

Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Hi Helen,

Take a look at the functionality of the Deployment Wizard: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176121.aspx

Regarding permissions, do you mean administrative access or the ability to query data? In either case BOL is again the best place to start: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174517.aspx. Or do you mean the ability just to connect to the cube at all? In which case this new paper on connectivity problems might help - it discusses everything might might stop you from connecting:
