Answer 1

The two errors are, I suspect, unrelated.
The XOQ-01724 error happens if you attempt to execute dbms_cube with a script that contains a USING clause. This is allowed for most cubes, but not for cubes associated with a materialized view. If this is what you tried to do, then the error is expected and the solution is to not specify a USING clause or to drop the MV.
The second error is much more serious since it means your AW is probably corrupted. Did this happen after a failed parallel build? What version are you using.
