In a migration, if your AC_OLAP database is currently running with Analysis Center 2.7 Service Pack 1 (including any hotfixes) or Analysis Center 2.7.5, and you back up & restore the AC_OLAP database to a different server, you need to modify the connection properties of the Data Warehouse so that it can connect to the AC_OLAP database in its new location.
