Based on object's ID

In this example, we are going to remove a VB Sub called "Disconnect" from the CAST Analysis Service. The image below shows the object in CAST Enlighten:

The first step is to insert the data into the CAST entry tables that will cause the object in question to be removed from the Analysis Service when the tool is run. Add a new Update CAST Knowledge Base Tool and enter the following query:

insert into <KB_name>.dbo.CI_NO_OBJECTS (OBJECT_ID, ERROR_ID)
select OBJECT_ID, 0
from <KB_name>.dbo.CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
where OBJECT_NAME = 'Disconnect'
go
  • The 0 parameter will enter 0 in the ERROR_ID column of the CI_NO_OBJECTS table.
  • Note that you need to specify the Analysis Service database and user as above "<KB_name>.dbo" otherwise the query will fail when the job is run.
  • You can also use variables to replace the Analysis Service name if required. See the on-line Help for the CAST Management Studio for more information.

Then:

If you want to check that the object has indeed been removed successfully, you can use the following query in an SQL IDE against your Analysis Service (adapting it for your environment):

Select count(1) Cnt
From CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'Disconnect'

The result returns 0 for this OBJECT_NAME:

Cnt
[int]
----
0

Based on object's GUID

Objects with an OBJECT_GUID

In this example, we are going to remove a C++ object (a Global Variable called "dberr") from the CAST Analysis Service. The image below shows the object in CAST Enlighten:

The first step is to retrieve the object's OBJECT_GUID from the CAST System Views. Use the following query in an SQL IDE against your CAST Analysis Service:

Select OBJECT_GUID
From CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'dberr'
Go

This query returns the OBJECT_GUID for the "dberr" Global Variable we want to remove from the CAST Analysis Service:

C_GlVar.dberr.C_Fi."D:\TESTAPPLICATIONS\SQL SERVER\DEMO_C\EXAMPLE..C"

The next step is to insert the data into the CAST entry tables that will cause the object in question to be removed from the Analysis Service when the tool is run. Add a new Update CAST Knowledge Base Tool and enter the following query:

insert into <KB_name>.dbo.CI_NO_OBJECTS (OBJECT_GUID, ERROR_ID)
values ('C_GlVar.dberr.C_Fi."D:\TESTAPPLICATIONS\SQL SERVER\DEMO_C\EXAMPLE..C"', 0)
go
  • The 0 parameter will enter 0 in the ERROR_ID column of the CI_NO_OBJECTS table.
  • Note that you need to specify the Analysis Service database and user as above "<KB_name>.dbo" otherwise the query will fail when the job is run.
  • You can also use variables to replace the Analysis Service name if required. See the on-line Help for the CAST Management Studio for more information.

Then:

If you want to check that the object has indeed been removed successfully, you can use the following query in an SQL IDE against your Analysis Service (adapting it for your environment):

Select count(1) Cnt
From CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'dberr'

The result returns 0 for this OBJECT_NAME:

Cnt
[int]
----
0

Objects without an OBJECT_GUID

In this example, we are going to remove a T-SQL server object (a Table called "Invoice") from the CAST Analysis Service. The image below shows the object in CAST Enlighten:

The first step is to check that the object has no OBJECT_GUID in the CAST System Views. Use the following query in an SQL IDE against your CAST Analysis Service:

Select OBJECT_GUID
From CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'Invoice'
Go

This query returns NULL for the "Invoice" Table's OBJECT_GUID we want to remove from the CAST Analysis Service, indicating the object does not have an OBJECT_GUID:

OBJECT_GUID
[char     ]
-----------
NULL

The next step is to insert the data into the CAST entry tables that will cause the object in question to be removed from the Analysis Service and to create the OBJECT_GUID for the object in question when the tool is run. Add a new Update CAST Knowledge Base Tool and enter the following query:

insert into <KB_name>.dbo.GUID_OBJECTS (OBJECT_ID, OBJECT_GUID, ERROR_ID)
select OBJECT_ID, OBJECT_NAME, 0
From <KB_name>.dbo.CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'Invoice'
Go
insert into <KB_name>.dbo.CI_NO_OBJECTS (OBJECT_GUID, ERROR_ID)
values ('Invoice', 0)
Go

This is in effect two queries:

  • The first inserts the object's OBJECT_ID and OBJECT_NAME into the GUID_OBJECTS table to create a correspondence between the two. The object will then be given an OBJECT_GUID called "Invoices" (uses the OBJECT_NAME value).
  • The second inserts the data in the CI_NO_OBJECTS table to remove the object.
  • The 0 parameter will enter 0 in the ERROR_ID column of the CI_NO_OBJECTS table.
  • Note that you need to specify the Analysis Service database and user as above "<KB_name>.dbo" otherwise the query will fail when the job is run.
  • You can also use variables to replace the Analysis Service name if required. See the on-line Help for the CAST Management Studio for more information.
  • Please see Creating OBJECT_GUIDs for more information about creating OBJECT_GUIDs for objects that do not have them.

Then:

If you want to check that the object has indeed been removed successfully, you can use the following query against your Analysis Service (adapting it for your environment):

Select count(1) Cnt
From CTV_GUID_OBJECTS
Where OBJECT_NAME = 'Invoice'

The result returns 0 for this OBJECT_NAME:

Cnt
[int]

0
