Cube Processing - process Dimension before Measure Groups? How to?

Hi guys.
I noticed that when you choose "Process Cube", Measure groups are processed before Dimensions. Recently I ran into an issue caused by change in data that made the Process Cube job fail, - until I manually processed all Dimensions and then run the
"Process Cube" job again.
- Is there any way to configure it to process Dimensions before Measure Groups???
Cheers!

We use SSIS to automate the cube processing using XMLA scripts. We have a control table where we maintain the list of dimensions and measure group partitions which will be iterated upon and processed by SSIS. It will also log audit information like when
it was started, when it got ended and the process result.

Do I need to perform Process Index on the cube when measure groups has been processed with full individually?

hi there, I am not sure if I need to perform process Index? Do I have to do that after I process full on measure groups?
thanks

I did process update on all dimensions... after that, I did process full on each measure groups...
In this case, do I need to process index on the whole cube?
Hi Cat_ca,
ProcessFull - Simple to digest, applies all objects which means it discards the storage contents of the object and rebuilds them.
ProcessIndexes - Applies to dimension, cube, measure group, and partition.
Since you did process full on each measure groups, I don't think you need do a processindex, here are some links about process options on Analysis Services for your reference.

Unexpected error durung process after adding a new measure group

I add a new measure group with distinct count in my cube
I process my cube then I have:
Erreur interne : Une erreur inattendue s'est produite. Erreurs dans le moteur de stockage OLAP : Une erreur s'est produite lors du traitement de la partition 'Requirement' du groupe de mesures 'Formalized 1' pour le cube 'Requirements_view' à partir de la
base de données SeikoCube. (internal error : unexpected error happens ... An error occured when processing the partition for measure group for the cube)
If I delete this measure, it works well.
Whap happens ? How could I resolve it ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Fiacre663,
According to your description, you encounter the error while processing the cube after added the distinct count to cube, right? In your scenario, which process option are you used to process the cube?
Generally, if you add a measure you are changing the structure of the cube which will invalidate the cube, the easiest way to get the cube "fully operational" again would be to do a ProcessFull. The same thing applies when removing a measure.
Besides, please ensure that the steps to add distinct count are correct. There are different options for creating a distinct count measure in SSAS. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

SSAS 2008 - How to get processing times per dimension / measure group?

Hi experts!
SSAS 2008. I am doing analysis and I'm trying to get information (from dmv or log) about processing times per dimension / measure group. Any ideas how to do that?
Thanks,

also in DMV there's no column recording the processing time, so we suggest you using SSAS AMO to programmatically get the state and last processed date time. Please see:
Analysis Management Objects (AMO)
Hi John,
Thanks for you info, As
Simon Suggested there is no DMV columns available.
You can use below link for more information.

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the indexes for the partition of the measure group of the cube from the database.

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the indexes for the partition of the measure group of the cube from the database.
I have dropped and recreated a fact table to refresh the data as the table is having identity columns. So not able to directly insert data. After that cube is throwing above error.
Please suggest.

Hi Md,
It hard to analyse the issue base on the limited information, Are there any error message on the log? Under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.\OLAP\Log (this could be different for your server), there are 3 log files that are generated:
msmdrrv.log
FlightRecorderCurrent.trc
FightRecorderBack.trc
The msmdrrv.log simply points to the other two logs. There might be some detail information for this error. Please provide us the detail information about it, so that we can make further analysis.

Error occurred while processing the "sales" partition of the "sales" measure group in the cube

Hi
when i ran the job for processing the cube it showing the error like "error occurred while processing the sales partition of the sales measure group in the cube". but in log files no error massage was there. after get that error message we ran
the cube manually
at that time the cube executed successfully.
my aim when the job was run it will be process automatically but it is not like that.
can you suggest the solution.
thank you
satyak248

Hi Satyak248,
According to your description, you get the error when using Windows Task to process a cube on a schedule, however can process the cube on SSMS successful manually, right?
In your scenario, you can process the cube manually, the issue can be cause by Windows Task was not set correctly. So you can try to process the cube using SSIS package. The Analysis Services Processing Task in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) allows
for the processing of one to many to all Analysis Services objects in an SSIS package. Once the SSIS package is created, then a job can be created within the SQL Server Management Studio which will allow for scheduling.

How to choose the right foreign key to be used when processing a dimension

Hi,
here is the problem I'm facing : I need to create a dimension in my cube from the table dimDocumentVente.
Here are the relations between my tables in SQLServer.
dimDocumentVente
    ID
    ID Article
    ID GroupeComptaProduitTVA
dimArticle
   ID
   ID GroupeComptaProduitTVA
dimGroupeComptaProduit
   ID
   Code
with Foreign keys between :
- IDGroupeComptaProduit in dimDocumentVente and ID in dimGroupeComptaProduit
- IDGroupeComptaProduit in dimArticle and ID in dimGroupeComptaProduit
- IDArticle in dimDocumentVente and ID in dimArticle
In this dimension (based on dimDocumentVente), I add the information ID from dimGroupeComptaProduit.
When I process the dimension, I see in SQL Profiler that the relation between the 2 tables is done using dimArticle, which is not what I want to do. I want to use the relation which is between dimGroupeComptaProduit and dimDocumentVente.
Is there a way to tell SSAS, that I want to use the foreign key between dimDocumentVente and dimGroupeComptaProduit to calculate this attribute ?
From the user point of view, the information contained in the table dimGroupeComptaProduit contains information linked the the VAT rate. This information is linked to the items in our ERP (Dynamics NAV), and when we create a new order, this information is
copied in the order line and the user has the possibility to override it. So in the cube, it's interesting to both analyse from the value stored in the item and the value stored in the order. That's the reason why !
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your answer but unfortunately, that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
I mean, I want to create a dimension based on table dimDocumentVente in which I want to include the information "code" coming from dimGroupeComptaProduitTVA table.
Please see below.
As you may notice, I have several foreign keys.
When I process the dimension, I see in SQL profiler that SQLServer is using the relation between dimDocumentVente and dimArticle plus between dimArticle and dimGroupeComptaProduitTVA to process my dimension. It's necessary for me that instead, it uses directly the
relation between dimDocumentVente and dimGroupeComptaProduitTVA. Is there a way to change this ?
Thanks.

Hi shiftbit,
According to your description, you get an empty Measure Group Columns list when defining relationship. Right?
Based on your screenshot, you may notice that Measure group table is empty, so definitely it can't show any column in the dropdown list. If there's columns in the measure group that are related to the dimension columns, at least it will show the fact
table for Measure group.
In this scenario, please check if the fact table for the Measure group is existing. Re-process the Measure group and try again. If the issue persists, please re-create that measure group.

Slice measure group by dimension related to another measure group

Hello everyone,
My users are wanting to slice one measure group via a dimension related to a different measure group. I have regular relationships here: Dim_SalesStatus <- Fact_Sales -> DD_Link <- Fact_Mfg, and Fact_Mfg has a many-to-many relationship
to Dim_SalesStatus (through intermediate measure group, Fact_Sales). The DD_Link is a degenerate dimension that I created with the LinkId's that exist in the Fact_Sales table. The Fact_Mfg records may or may not have a LinkId. Processed great,
no problem. I was testing the configuration by finding multiple LinkId's that *are* in both fact tables in the data warehouse, then seeing if I can slice. If I slice by only the LinkId, they show the correct counts on both sides as 1. In my following
example, I have two LinkId's (12345 and 67890).
DD_LinkId, Fact Sales count, Fact Mfg count, MfgQuantity
12345, 1, 1, 387
67890, 1, 1, 50
As soon as I try to slice by the SalesStatus, the Fact_Mfg count goes to null on some (not all). It seems like it can’t find the data through the relationship.
Sales Status, DD_LinkId, Fact Sales count, Fact Mfg count, MfgQuantity
Incomplete, 12345, 1, (null), (null)
Incomplete, 67890, 1, 1, 50
I'm not sure what could be the issue, it looks to be all setup correctly to me. LinkId 12345 is not behaving the way I would expect, but 67890 is, and I'm not seeing any differences in the way the data is setup in the DW. What can I check/verify?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jarret

Hello Bill,
Neither of those are true. The FactMfgCount is the default measure added when creating a measure group, and the quantity is a simple column based summed measure.
If I drop the DateEntered dimension altogether, the results returned are shown as expected. When I then recreate it, with a regular relationship to both measure groups, it stops working. If I remove the relationship from DateEntered to Sales,
the expected results are presented. Or, if I remove the relationship from DateEntered to Manufacturing, the expected results are presented.
From what I can tell, as long as a dimension is not related to the fact on both sides of the many to many, the expected results are presented. As soon as I relate a single dimension to both sides of a many-to-many, the data in the data warehouse must
be the same in the related columns, or the results are "(null)".
Is this supposed to be true? If you look at my cube structure image above, that's my setup.
Here is the MDX that I was running, which does not reference a date dimension.
//Without Status, expected results.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Fact Sales Count], [Measures].[Fact Manufacturing Count] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([DD_Link].[Order Link Id].[Order Link Id].ALLMEMBERS ) } ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( {[DD_Link].[Order Link Id].&[18440402] , [DD_Link].[Order Link Id].&[18446846]} ) ON COLUMNS
FROM [TestCube]
go
//With Status, unexpected results.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Fact Sales Count], [Measures].[Fact Manufacturing Count] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([DD_Link].[Order Link Id].[Order Link Id].ALLMEMBERS * [Sales Status].[On Time Delivery Status Description].[On Time Delivery Status Description].ALLMEMBERS ) } ON ROWS
FROM (
SELECT ( {[DD_Link].[Order Link Id].&[18440402] , [DD_Link].[Order Link Id].&[18446846]} ) ON COLUMNS
FROM [TestCube]

Error encountered while processing secured dimension

Hi,
We encountered this error when trying to process this secured dimension. Please refer to screenshot below:
[http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1277/err1.jpg|http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1277/err1.jpg]
Kindly advise on how to troubleshoot this.
Thanks!

Hi,
In your screen shout, the error seems to be pointing to the length of the costcenter value 2010.
There may be following cause
1 - The length of the member value is grater then what is allowd in the fact table
2 - There may be spaces along with the data
3 - there may be a data curruption in the fact table.
possiable Remady
You will first need to find out the root cause
if it's
#1 Then make sure the length of each member is within the limit of the ID field. (Check the Dimension Property to see the length of each field) Id is 20 chr long.
#2 Make sure there is no space along with the member id's
#3 - Try to process the cube from SQL AS This will give you the same or more detail message if your cube is offline.
if you have a rouge data in fact tale it will fail, and then you need to start removeing the elemenets that it dose not have.
You can also try to delete the data out of fact table and then process the dimension. (I would only do this if you are on Dev system and you have a way of geting the data back!!)
Hope this helps
Sam

SSAS Tabular - Hide dimensions without measures from measure groups

Hello all,
I have a tabular model cube with several dimensions and fact table.
The problem is all the model tables appear as measure groups in the client (excel).
How can I hide these dimensions from the measure groups as they should only appear as related dimensions in the facts measure groups?
I have tried the option "hide from client tools" but this also hides the table in the related dimensions in fact measure groups.
Thanks for the help,
Best Regards,
André

I have created the essbase cube using Hyperion Integration services 9.3.1 as my datasource is the star schema residing in a oracle db. I can successfully load the cube and see the results in smart view.
I want to know how I can automate the data loading process(both dimension and fact) into the essbase cubes either by using unix scripts and windows .bat scripts.
Your inputs are Appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
Regards
vr

What everyone has shown you is the use of esscmd or MaxL, howevery you stated you are using EIS. Until you get to 11.1 and use Essbase studio, these won't help you. What you will need to do is to go into EIS, then select your metadata outlline. Pretend you are going to build the cube manually. Start scheduling it, when you get to the screen that allows you to schedule it or create a file, create the file only. You will want the name to end in .cbs (Hint, if you select both outline and data load, you will get all the statements in one script)
After you are done, if you look on the EIS server under arborpath\EIS\Batch, you should see the .cbs file you created. It is a regular text file so you can look at it. If you open it, you will see loaddata and/or loaddimensions statements This is what does the work.
To run it, create a batch file with the command olapicmd -fscriptFileName >logfilename

Hi,
You can find the details of diemnsions and its infoobject technical name in the table UJA_DIMENSION.
The filed TECH_NAME holds the infoobject technical name in BW for a particular dimension in BPC.
Hope this helps.
