Report Builder Cube deploys to the wrong location!!

I have built a cube successfully however, it deploys succcessfully but to the wrong location. I have MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2 and MSSQL.3 and I Reporting Services in is MSSQL.3 but the cube is deploying to MSSQL.2/OLAP and I can't access it from there. I have tried changing the server name and specifiying the server/instance but it fails. I'm at my wits end! HELP!

The directories you've outlined are all correct and the cube has deployed to the correct location. With all components installed the locations should be as follows:

MSSQL - SQL 2000 Database Engine|||I am trying to access it by clicking on "report builder" from the reports webpage http://localhost/reports. Instead of seeing the cube in the selection box, there is a message saying therre are no cubes available and that in order to use report builder at least one cube must be published to the report server. Again, I am able to "successfully" deploy (using either localhost or my server name) but for some reason report builder can't "see" it. Are there some setting I need to modify for report builder?|||

Report builder does not connect directly to a cube. It connects to a Report Model which is different.

Once you've created a cube you first need to create a data source to point to that cube. you can do this by clicking the "New Data Source" button on the toolbar in report manager. Give it a name, select "Microsoft Analysis Services" as the connection type and put something like

Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW;Data Source=<server>[\<instance>];

in the connection string box. Once you click ok to create the data source go to the properties page of the data source and click the "Generate Model" button. Once you've created the default model you'll be able to launch report builder and access the cube using the model.

Report models can also be created an modified using the BI development studio.
