Analysis Services 2005 Log File (msmdsrv.log) Readability

 

Question:You may want to know  why msmdsrv.log file is not easy readable and includes extra spaces between each characters in log file?

Answer:This happen because the SSAS 2005 RTM version run first and create the Unicode file without the correct header.This issue was fixed later (SSAS 2005 SP1). If you would like to start a clean file, stop SSAS and delete the file.A new correct one will be created as SSAs starts.

I hope this helps.
