BizTalk BAM activity Deploy problem – The BAM Star Schema database has not been configured. Run bm.exe setup-databases to configure the database.

When trying to deploy BAM activity into a new BizTalk Environment:

• “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server …\Tracking>bm.exe deploy-all -DefinitionFile:BAM.SMSExpress.xls”

It happened to me the following error:

“Microsoft (R) Business Activity Monitoring Utility Version 3.9.469.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Using ‘BAMPrimaryImport’ BAM Primary Import database on server ‘BTS2010LAB01’…
Deploying Activity… Done.
Deploying View… ERROR: The BAM deployment failed.
The BAM Star Schema database has not been configured. Run bm.exe setup-databases to configure the database.”

CAUSE

• One of the possible causes of the problem is that Analysis Services form BAM aggregations was not configured.

SOLUTION

• Open BizTalk Server Configuration Console. (All Programs → Microsoft BizTalk Server … → BizTalk Server Configuration)
• Select the option “BAM Tools” in the left menu and check the option “Enable Analysis Services for BAM Aggregations”
• Configure “BAM Analysis Database” and “BAM Star Schema Database”
  
• Click in “Apply Configuration”
• On the Summary screen, Click “Next”
  
• On the completed screen, click “Finish”
