Surface Area Configuration for Features (Linked Objects) - Analysis Services
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
By default, Analysis Services disallows the creation of linked objects, such as linked dimensions and linked measure groups. To enable the linking of these objects both instances need to enable this feature. This is controlled by using SQL Server Management Studio to change the values of the Link\ToOtherInstanceEnabled and Link\FromOtherInstanceEnabled server configuration properties, or by using this dialog.
Options

If selected, this instance of Analysis Services can link to objects on other Analysis Services instances.For more information about linked objects, see Linked Dimensions and Linked Measure Groups in SQL Server Books Online.
