BIB-9509 on Cube Viewer

Question

After generating a cube with 4 dimensions, the error message below was returned. When only using 3 dimensions everything was fine. Now I can't view any cubes, either 3 or 4 dimensions.
BIB-9509 The Olap Service did not create cursor.
oracle.express.ExpressServerExceptionError class: OLAPI
Server error descriptions:

SEL: Unexpected error occurred. Contact Oracle Support! Generic at null

Answer 1

I have Win2K SP2, upgraded to 9.2.0.4 to be ready for the unreleased AWM and OWB.
All components show valid, but OEM shows a red bell rather than the cube, so when I try to refresh I get the same message as you.
catpatch.log shows two errors:
First,
Table altered.
data_type varchar2(106)
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01439: column to be modified must be empty to change datatype
But, there is no clue as to which table 'must be empty'.
Then,
Package body created.
No errors.
BEGIN cwm2_olap_metadata_refresh.mr_refresh; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM2_OLAP_METADATA_REFRESH", line 1240
ORA-06512: at line 1

Then with olapsys user I ran postamd.sql and it reports one invalid dimension (CWM type) which shows valid in the olap catalog, ran CWM procedures to 'validate' the already valid dimension but no luck so far.
I plan to back and troubleshoot with the catpatch.sql see if I can catch the first error.

So, if you remove awdemo the problem goes away, have you tried to re-install awdemo and see the behavior ?
