在SQL Server 2005中，Analysis Management Object（AMO）是一种全新的编程对象模型。开发人员可以使用AMO创建维度，立方体，分区等Analysis Services对象。本文主要介绍AMO的对象模型，对象模型中的类，以及类中的属性和方法。
[Quick Tips]
当你使用AMO对象进行编程的时候，如果需要处理数据库中的所有的对象，可以调用Database对象的Process()方法，并将ProcessType的属性设置为ProcessFull。如果仅仅需要处理一个单独的对象（比如维度），可以调用Process()方法，例如objDimension.Process()而不需要设置维度对象的Process属性。
简介
继SQL Server 2000之ADOMD后，AMO成为了SQL Server 2005的强大开发工具；AMO对象模型基于XML/A协议。XML/A是依据于XML协议的一个简单对象访问协议，主要用于客户端应用程序与Analysis Services进行数据交互。AMO使用XML/A与Analysis Services实现连接。AMO提交的所有操作命令都将转换成XML/A的格式。开发人员可以使用AMO自动地创建和处理Analysis Services对象模型。AMO也取代了在SQL Server 2000中使用的决策支持对象（DSO）。虽然在SQL Server 2005中同时支持DSO和AMO，但是微软已经明确表示，在SQL Server 2005的下一个版本中，将全面废弃DSO,SQL Server 2005中的DSO也仅仅是为了能够将SQL Server2000种的数据迁移到SQL Server 2005中。因此，如果你正在做一个托管或者非托管的应用程序，或者你想要使用Analysis Services 2005的新特性，那么你就应该毫不犹豫地使用AMO。
AMO对象模型
AMO提供了对Analysis Services 2005对象进行管理的完整的类库，AMO的所有的类位于Microsoft.Analysis命名空间下。下图是AMO对象模型的一个高层次的视图
