Full optimize with Compress DB throws error

Question

Hi,
We are using SAP BPC 7.0 MS version... We have an SSIS package scheduled every morning for a Full Optimize with Compress DB. For the past few days this package had been failing after running for 2 hours, with the following error message :
[Error][OSoft.Services.Application.OptimizeManage.OptimizeManageCtrl]
When we tried doing a Full optimize without compress DB or Index defragmentation from the Admin Console, it completes successfully.
But when we try doing a Full Optimize with Compress database checked, it runs for about 2 hours and throws the following error :
An error has occurred during processing
Error Message : Thread was being aborted
After the above process it leaves all the records in the fact table with source column 1.
Can anyone please share your ideas on this issue if you have faced this before and a way to fix this.
We do not have bad or invalid records in the fact table.

Answer 1

Hi,
Please recheck if you have any calculated members or invalid dimension members.
Calculated members will create such problems.
Please check you have enough free disk space on your server which has Database and Analysis Services.
Please make sure you have enabled 3GB support in Everest Update component, if you have more than 4GB RAM in your Application server.
Please check if you have setup the Analysis Server settings with a minimum recommended value for the
Threadpool \ Query \ MaxThreads parameter.
The recommended value is higher of 10 or (number of Analysis Services Databases + twice the number of processor cores).
If you have 4 dual core processors in your Analysis Services server (8 cores) and 5 Analysis Services DB, then you must set the value as 5+(2*8)=21.
The source column will be updated as zero when the full optimization is complete. It remains as 1 since your full optimization is not completed.
Since it says thread is being aborted, I believe the Analysis Services server settings change might resolve your issue.
