When Always open with options is enabled for SAS OLAP cubes, SAS Enterprise Guide executes a default query on the SAS® OLAP Server before it opens the Options window. If the default query result set is very large, the Options window, shown in the following display, might take a long time to open.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue. After the hot fix is applied, you can set a configuration property so that SAS Enterprise Guide opens the MDX Editor window. No default query is submitted to the OLAP Server before the MDX Editor window is opened. To use the property, perform the following steps. (These steps are also in the post-installation instructions for the hot fix.)

1. Navigate to the SAS Enterprise Guide installation directory. For example:

• If you are using SAS Enterprise Guide 32-bit, navigate to .\Program Files (x86)\SASHome\x86\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1
• If you are using SAS Enterprise Guide 64-bit, navigate to .\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1

2. Create a copy of SEGuide.exe.config and rename the copy SEGuide.exe.config.ORIG.
3. Open SEGuide.exe.config in a text editor.
4. Add the following code to the end of the file, immediately before </configuration> :

5. Save SEGuide.exe.config.
6. Start a new session of SAS Enterprise Guide.
