Bug #: 409625 (SQLBUDT)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. In SQL Server 2005, you create a report in Business Intelligence Development Studio. When you connect to a data source of Analysis Services, Report Designer displays the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query designer in Data view. You build a MDX query by using Report Wizard, and then you click the Data tab to display the MDX query designer. In this scenario, you notice that the created query has disappeared, and you cannot modify the report in Layout view. However, you can still preview and deploy the report.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Report Designer cannot correctly deserialize the rd:MdxQuery element in the report that is written by the Report Wizard. Therefore, when the Report Definition Language (RDL) is loaded into the MDX query designer, the MDX metadata in the rd:MdxQuery element is lost. The MDX query designer cannot load data correctly.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, carefully remove all white space and line breaks in the report between the <rd:MdxQuery> XML tag and the <QueryDefinition OtherProperties> XML tag. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the View menu, click Code to switch to Code view.
  2. Modify the RDL code in the editor to remove the white space and the line breaks.
  3. Save the file, and then return to Data view.
After you remove the intervening white space and line breaks, the line of RDL code in question must appear similar to the following:

<rd:MdxQuery><QueryDefinition OtherProperties>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
