Is there a way to assign a Global variable to a sql sqlmss name? We are moving data to a new prod server and want to make it easier to test on the sql dev server by switching the sql sqlmss name once instead of 100+ times.

 ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION IVB
SQL SQLMSS 

IVB would be the name I would need to change from time to time when testing.

If so, where do you create global variables? Any examples?

Thanks for any assitance possible.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Please post your solution, as it may help others.

Also edit your first post in the thread, and add [SOLVED] to the title.

Thanks..I already did. I added this to the edaprof:

-SET @@SERV = 'IVB';

Use && not @@

Aha,yep. Got my programs mixed up.

Feel your pain, going through similar issues.

Constantly typing -- in FOCUS and -* in SQL

I'm a newbie to FOCUS and not quite getting the context in where to implement this. My scenario is the adapter to SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 forces the name of the adapter to be the name of the SSAS server. In order to promote from one environment to the other we'll have to edit all of the acx files. Is there a way to use a global variable or the "ENGINE..." statement above? If so, where do I place that command? I get that the global amper variable is set in EDASPROF but where is the ENGINE command being set? Thanks!
