Invisible database instance during AX installation

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 90

Hello guys

When installing Microsoft Analysis services SSAS extension in MS Dynamics AX 2012 R3 i have error.

youtu.be/Ild8qrcBjcc
i.e. in the step when I have to indicate an instance to be configured - it does not show me any instance from the drop-down list.

So I don't have any instance, so I can't go any further. When I try to proceed without having any expandable installation, or typing something like this - I get an error saying "When configuring analysis services, you must provide an olap instance name".
So I can't go one step further.

Which is legitimate because I entered an instance with the wrong name that probably doesn't exist.

It seems to me that the problem lies between connection the MS SQL Server Management Studio <-> AX.
All instances and the Database in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is running correctly, which is confirmed by the previous step where I successfully logged into the Database. But unfortunately the only problem is that the installer does not see the instances in the Database.

What should be done to make the instances visible during the installation of the Database in AX?
