Hi,
I am running the following command from the command prompt:
C:\...\ascmd.exe -S bp1xtxap2337 -i C:\...\CreatePartition_20130701_192459.xmla
The xmla file contains the code to create a partition on the cube, and the command works successfully. The problem is that under normal production conditions this command will be executed by a ServiceAccount. The service account is specified as SSAS Server admin and also windows admin on the box where ssas is hosted.
When this command is run locally on the server from the command prompt using the service account, it takes approximately 30 seconds to complete. When i use my own personal account on the local machine (also SSAS admin and windows admin) the command completes in about 1 second.
I have run a trace on the server and nothing shows up while the command seems to be "waiting" for 29 seconds. After 29 secondsthe trace shows the command executing. The trace is identical for both commands - showing them both runing in about 1 second.
I cannot figure out where/why the delay is happening. Where should i be looking? are there any perfMon counters i should be examining? i am quite stumped by this.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks
Guy
