Hi,
We are executing an SSIS package.. it fails with the below error
Analysis Services Processing Task: Error A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
We have a separate SSAS instance on this server which is up and running.
Please suggest
Can you connect to SSAS from the same server + same credentials using SSMS?

If you're encountering the "Analysis Services Processing Task: Error A connection cannot be made" error, start by ensuring the Analysis Services server is operational and accessible. Double-check that the connection string and server name are accurate, and verify that no network issues or firewalls obstruct the connection. Additionally, confirm that the credentials used have the appropriate permissions to access the server. Addressing these aspects should help resolve the connection problem.

Dude please don't just copy paste chatgpt answer. If someone is here asking question lets assume they've already asked AI
If you are in a clustered environment? Do you have sufficient permissions for the SSAS instance? Please refer to Grant permissions to Analysis Services.
Additionally, please ensure the firewall and ports are enabled.
Make sure the connection string format is correct.
