  2. Can you explain in detail on "Check the analysis server name under deployment properties"

    I just opened the solution file, then built(succeed), then deployed. But I always failed at deploy. Error message is " "Errors related to feature availability and configuration. The "Perspectives" feature is not included in the "Standard" edition of Analysis Services."
