Analytical Workspace Manager Script

Question

I am using AWM to build and maintain my OLAP cube. Up until now, I've been maintaining the cube by hand (via the maintenance wizard). I'd like to set automatically maintain my cube every night. I used the maintenance wizard to automatically create a script for maintaining my cube, but when I tested the script, it ran but didn't update the cube! I went back and maintained by hand and that worked. Any ideas about what could going on?

In addition to what has been mentioned by Keith and LM, some few more points:
1. select * from OLAPSYS.XML_LOAD_LOG order by xml_date desc; will show you all the messages.
2. Sometimes there are errors that are not captured by XML_LOAD_LOG table. In that case, do look at database alert log also.
3. You can take the SQL script generated by AWM, replace the first word "declare" with "CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE xxxxx AS" and you will have a sql procedure which can execute the load.
4. Another option is to create a LONG variable (lets say l_script) in your sql procedure. Populate the l_script variable with the sql script (generated by AWM) and then do EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (l_script);
5. If it is a parallel load, then 10gscheduler jobs will be spawned, which will be outside of the database session from which you executed the load. You then need to go into some kind of loop and check for the spawned jobs. DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and SCHEDULER$_EVENT_LOG tables can provide you the information. There are other scheduler tables/views also.
