We are in the process of making some updates to the document describing the setup. Please stay tuned for the updates within next couple of days.

An updated version of Query Generator is released! It also includes sample query templates to test against Project REAL cubes. Query Generator randomizes queries on per file basis, rather than per-query basis to model more realistic browsing behavior and avoid returning empty result sets. Special thanks to RunyingM, EricJ and CarlR of the SQLCAT! Have fun! Stay tuned update on the documentation as well as query templates for Adventure Works.

Could we have a downloadable copy of AdventureWorksAS database for SQL Server 2005, please?

IMPORTANT: I found a bug in the SSIS packages for processing trace data related to MDX queries in the Methodology for Monitoring SSAS Using Profiler trace files, etc - will be posting a fix in a few days.
