Synopsis
APPLIED MICROSOFT ANALYSIS SERVICES 2005 shows database administrators and developers how to build end-to-end OLAP solutions with Microsoft Analysis Services 2005 and Microsoft Business Intelligence Platform. Database administrators will learn how to design and manage sophisticated OLAP cubes that provide rich data analytics and data mining services.
The book gives database developers the necessary background to extend UDM with custom programming logic, in the form of MDX expressions, scripts and .NET code. It teaches them how to implement a wide range of reporting applications that integrate with Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Microsoft Office.

In chapter 17 on pages 565-566 there is a thin client example of connecting to msmdpump.dll with a XML soap request. SSAS 2016 returns xs+xpress content type and unable to parse response. Any way to get this to work where analysis services returns text/xml? Essentially I would like to add an additional layer of abstraction to interpret measures and dimension attributes using different names for different customers.
Can’t tell without looking but SSAS should return XML so it sounds like a configuration error where Fiddler can help. Also, make sure you use Basic authentication over HTTPS.
