Validating database

Select File > Validate Database to check whether Designer can establish a connection to the OLAP database.

If the validation fails, the OLAP database uses a different farm repository than Designer.
Note: Ensure that Designer targets the OLAP database which belongs to the OLAP permission management that has been configured in the Repository Connection tab.

You configure the target OLAP database on the Models tab of the Settings dialog. Select the database from the OLAP Server drop-down list.
