Hi, anyone have a solution to delete a model which have a deletion error on tabular server ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
First, make sure there are no other "applications" using this analysis services database, and if so, make sure you can delete it first (after the other party is disconnected) before deleting it. Which type of permission your account has? Notice that a database administrator cannot add or delete databases on the server, or grant administrator rights to other databases on the same server. That privilege belongs to server administrators alone.
Grant database permissions (Analysis Services)
In addition, could you please provide the details of the error message? Later we can make troubleshooting based on that error message to find the problem and fix it.
If you want to get dedicated support, you can post the thread in SQL Server Analysis Services forum.
Best Regards
