Good evening everyone :)

I Developed an SSAS project through visual studio.

Every thing worked fine but today while trying to open the project but I had this error message:
"Error in Visual Studio: You cannot open the IBM file. The workspace database server localhost is not found. Please check if an instance of Analysis Services server is running on localhost."

Any one have an idea how to resolve this issue please?

I tried to repair the installation of visual studio , Restarting the services ( both analysis and sql server) but with no result.

Best regards

    Please check if an instance of Analysis Services server is running on localhost."

    As the message clearly says, check if your SSAS instances is running and accessable using SSMS with your credentials.
