In part one, I covered what makes up the Analysis Services engines (Tabular and multi-dimensional) and how each engine processes queries, as well as monitoring tool options.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In this session, I\u2019ll review <strong>how to use the SQL Server Profiler Trace to capture data to evaluate events which gives you the ability to monitor server and Analysis Services database activity<\/strong>.
