ALL,

Is there a command line method to process cubes??  I am using DTS to process
them now, but would like to would like to avoid using it if possible.

If I choose to write a VB program to perform this using DSO, what is a good
resource to use for examples?

Thanks!

DTSRun.exe is command line utility that runs DTS packages. Have you checked
it, why doesn't it suit you?

BOL. Anyway, here is my VB application:

Option Explicit
Public dsoServer As DSO.Server
Public intClassType As Integer
Public strClassType As String
Public strErr As String
Public blnRet As Boolean

Public parStr As String

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim parArray() As String
parStr = Command()
parArray() = Split(parStr, " ")

Set dsoServer = New DSO.Server

If dsoServer.Init(parArray(0), strErr) Then
    Debug.Print "Server initialization OK"
Else
    Debug.Print "Server initialization FAILED"
End If

intClassType = dsoServer.ClassType
Select Case intClassType
        Case clsServer
             strClassType = "Server"
        Case Else
             strClassType = "Invalid Class Type"
End Select

    Dim dsoDB As DSO.MDStore
    Dim strDBName As String
    Dim dsoCube As DSO.MDStore
    Dim strCubeName As String
    strDBName = parArray(1)
    strCubeName = parArray(2)

    If dsoServer.MDStores.Find(strDBName) Then
        Set dsoDB = dsoServer.MDStores(strDBName)
        Set dsoCube = dsoDB.Server.CreateObject(clsCube)
        Set dsoCube = dsoDB.MDStores.Item(parArray(2))
    End If

    blnRet = dsoCube.LockObject(olaplockProcess, "Process Cube ...")
    'MsgBox "Lock:" & blnRet

    blnRet = dsoCube.Process
    'MsgBox "Process:" & blnRet

    blnRet = dsoCube.UnlockObject
    'MsgBox "UnLock:" & blnRet

    Unload Me
End Sub

Sorry, I was not clear.  I meant to say a command line to process cubes,
outside of DTS.  Something similar to MSMDARCH.EXE is what I'm looking for.

I'll try this code and see if it will work with what I'm trying to do.
Thanks!
