Is it possible to "unprocess" a cube in SSAS to retrieve only the metadata?

Question

I would like to know if it's possible to "unprocess" a cube in SSAS. I want to do this so I can perform a "synchronization" between two differents servers. This (I think), will remove all the data and left the metadata to be synchronized? Am I right?

Do you know a way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is the ability to unprocess, although that'd leave your cube unprocessed. Right-click database, select process, in the next window change process type to Unprocess and "Script to new window" in top-right.

If you just want a schema though, can you not script the "Script Database as Create" XMLA? Then drop your target and run the Create XMLA against the target server?
