Process the Viewpoint OLAP Database

Modified: 6 Jun 2026 Vista Administration Customization / User-Defined User Management Security Help

BI dashboard reports rely on the Viewpoint OLAP database.

OLAP information is static; the system processes the Viewpoint OLAP database in specified intervals. Processing can be resource-intensive, so it typically occurs during off-hours.

You may want to do this when you add new users to the system or update security for the BI dashboard reports. Refreshing the Viewpoint OLAP database takes a significant amount of time and system resources. Make sure that you pick a time that will cause minimal disruptions to your organization’s daily activities.

Note: To process the Viewpoint OLAP database, you must log into Vista using a domain login. This login must be a member of the sysadmin group on your SQL Server. In addition, you must assign a domain user login to the Viewpoint Remote Service. For more information on setting up domain logins, see Create a Trusted Connection Domain User.

To process the Viewpoint OLAP database prior to the scheduled interval:

  1. Open VA Business Intelligence.
  2. Click the Process and Secure button.

    The system automatically processes and refreshes the Viewpoint OLAP database. If you have established datatype security (VA Data Security Access), the system applies the security to the SSAS Database during processing.
