building an .asdatabase file from the command line

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to 'build' an 'analysis services' project (i.e - generate the .asdatabase file) from the command line, so that I could have it done automatically during a build process.

Thanks,
Kobi Reiter

Play around with the devenv.exe executable at the command-line. Although I have not tried it, you might be able to use it with your project file and with a "/build" option. The executable is the what launches when you run BI Dev Studio. Typical setup has it located at:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"

Unfortunately, when I try to run devenv with the /build switch, it fails:

Package 'Visual Studio Source Control Integration Package' failed to load.
Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

|||I'm also interested in this. Need to automate the build of our deployment package. Haven't been able to find any information on this.

hello,

i would expect something like the following to work

devenv.exe <your_solution_name>.sln /build Development /Out out.log

Note that you might need an SP1 build for this.

hope this helps,
