I'm trying to add a nightly build/deploy process for my SSAS solution. Basically - to take my AS solution from source control, deploy it to our dev server, and process just a few partitions.
What's the best way to do this? Looking at the solution folder, the .dsv, .dim, .cube, .ds files are all xml-based, which is good, but they don't seem like XML/A. (Seem very similar to a serialized version of AMO objects, but not quite exactly)
The only way I'd guess to do this is to manually load the individual xml files into an object model, and then map them to the AMO objects (since they're pretty similar..), and deploy those to the server. Is there a more efficient way to directly de-serialize the .dim,.cube, etc files into the AMO structures and deploy?
Take a look at the Deployment Wizard which you can run from Start... Programs... Microsoft SQL Server 2005... Analysis Services... Deployment Wizard.

|||Furmangg, perfect tip on using the deployment wizard. I think this will suit our needs very well.
I was going to follow up w/ the correct method of compiling - I tried msbuild unsuccessfully, but I found this great blog post by Thomas Kejser -
