Incremental online upgrade of database engine to tabular or multidimensional Analysis services database
I need to update my Analysis Services database periodically only the incremental values.
I use the 2019 version of SQL Server Developer
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
I am not very clearly with question. One SQL Server instance only can install Tabular model or Multidimensional model. If you would like to upgrade SQL Server version, you could download the installer from this link.
If you would like to incrementally load, you could use the Process Add processing mode. For dimensions, adds new members and updates dimension attribute captions and descriptions. For measure groups and partitions, adds newly available fact data and process only to the relevant partitions.
For more information, please refer to below links:

Incremental Load using ProcessAdd as a TMSL Script

Hi @Martin Domínguez Brito , thank you for your reply. Because there have some difference between tabular mode and multidimensional model. You were click Process Database in tabular model, and in the Process Database dialog box, there have 4 options. If you click process partitions in tabular model, you will see ProcessAdd. For more information, please refer to below links:
tabular model: Process database, table, or partition (Analysis Services)
Multidimensional model: Processing Options and Settings (Analysis Services)
Excelent Carrir,
One last question please, I hope I can explain myself: I want my Analaysis Services (FULL) database,
update from my database engine with a job, but only new data is added. This is because the database engine data is dynamic and only the most recent records appear and the old ones are deleted by the administrator with a job, but I don't want to lose them in my Analysis Services database. With the ADD every time I execute it in the JOB it adds the same records.
I don't know if you can express my question well?
Note: all the information you are providing me has helped me a lot, for which I thank you.
but I don't want to lose them in my Analysis Services database.
The data will be deleted in SSAS if you process Database. If you don't want to lose the old data, it should be stored in SQL Server DB. Just one thought you could test it in your stagging environment. Maybe you could create a new partition for the new data, and just process that new partition. Please noted that if there has any changes in the future, and you must process the SSAS database, you also will lose the old data. So the best way is do not deleted data from SLQ Server DB.
Best regards,
Carrin

I have already studied a lot about "processing measures, dimensions, etc" and also the use of partitions in Analysis Services Multidimensional. My question is how can I generate a script that only adds the new rows from my SQL Server 2019 database engine and saves them in my dimensional analysis services database. or is it not possible to do it? For your attention, thank you very much.
