The only response you will get will be a 202 (accepted) status code that tells you the message arrived successfully, but that’s it. The solution is cost-conscious because it waits for the process operation to finish after which Azure AS will be scaled down immediately.Ī couple of things that are good to know when using this solution: This is a common pattern as processing is a memory consuming operation, which often requires to scale up.

Based on a simple example I showed how to link Azure Data Factory and Logic Apps using a webhook and how to communicate with the Azure Analysis Services (Azure AS) REST API from a Logic App. For this blog post I teamed up with a cloud integration specialist from Macaw, Stefan Conijn, to create an advanced Logic App that scales Azure AS up, processes your Azure AS objects and scales Azure AS down again.


In my last blog post I showed how to Process Azure Analysis Services objects from Azure Data Factory v2 using a Logic App. This time I show how to process Azure Analysis Services objects (models) in a cost-conscious way. Previously I showed how to autoscale Azure Analysis Services and Azure SQL Database. Azure is a very cost-effective platform when it’s used in the right way, meaning you always have to consider the fact Azure is elastic and make sure your solutions scale up and down in an efficient way.

When in doubt, always inspect the underlying behaviour.Many of my blog posts are focused on Azure cost reduction as this is essential to keep in mind when designing cloud solutions. This is confirmed by using SQL Profiler and checking the outcome of the Process Database execution.

SQL Server Management Studio User Interface invokes Process Full properly on the Tabular Model database in SQL Server 2012 RTM version despite the misleading “Process Recalc” info on the Details. However, in the response, Cathy Dumas mentioned that she found the above bug in a SQL Server 2012 version pre RTM. Looking at Microsoft Connect after I encountered this issue, there was a fairly old post that was not directly reporting this issue. My tabular model database is refreshed with the new data. The XMLA command looks like below (copied and pasted to Notepad):Īfter running a couple of tests, it seems that the Process Full on Database via SSMS in SQL Server 2012 RTM version, does actually perform Process Full despite reporting it as Process Recalc. Not convinced that invoking Process Full on the Tabular Model database via SSMS would indeed invoke Process Recalc as shown on the dialog box, I decided to run SQL Profiler.Īccording to SQL Profiler – on Line 61 or so on my trace – I noticed that the Command executed looks as follows. This means that if the data is modified in the source database(s), Process Recalc will not be getting this modified data. rebuilds user hierarchies, and rebuilds other internal engine structures. Any affected calculated columns, relationships, user hierarchies, or internal engine structures (except table dictionaries) are recalculated.įor all tables in the database, recalculates calculated columns, rebuilds relationships. Loads data into all selected partitions or tables. As mentioned by Cathy Dumas in “ Processing tabular models 101” on her MSDN blog: Process Full Process Full and Process Recalc on Tabular Model database are different.
