Incremental cube processing

Hello,
Let me first explain my business scenario. In our BI application the primary source is Oracle EBS. As per requirement, there can be one or more quarters could remain open in ERP for back dated change. As a result, in daily ETL (SSIS and SQL
stored procs), first  we are deleting all data of open quarter and then extracting it again from source to capture any backdated and latest change into the Data Mart. Say, now FY2014-Q4 is last closed quarter in ERP, which is maintained
in a config table. So, we are daily deleting all transaction data from 1 April 2014 and then loading it again as per business requirement. That means, all data before 1 April is not changed at any time and data onwards 1 April will change. Say
after a few days, when FY2015-Q1 (till June 2014) will be closed by business, we will fetch only data 1 July onwards, other data will remain static.
Now, we are doing "Process Full" for the entire cube (dimension and measures) - for closed quaters and open quaters. Since the data prior to 1 April is not changing in Data Mart, how can we do a similar things like where based on a certain
date (which is configurable) only recent trsansaction data will be processed in SSAS cube and the remaining data which is not getting changed in Data Mart, will remain as it is, like a static one.
Would appreciate any technical guidance on how to solve this issue using SSAS/ SSIS. We have 2012 Enterprise version.
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Hi Arka,
According to your description, there are colsed and open quarter data in your database, it will take long time to prcess all the cube, now what you want is process the data for open quarter only, right?
In this case, you can create partition for those open and colsed quarters as Aru said. In Analysis Services, a partition provides the physical storage of fact data loaded into a measure group. Processing is more efficient because partitions can be processed
independently and in parallel, on one or more servers. And over time, you can merge it to colsed partition. Here some document about partition for you reference.

  • Incremental Cube Load Error: job slave process terminated

    Hi,
    For performance reasons, we switched to Incremental Cube Loading i.e. only those partitions are autosolved whose data is made available.
    Some times, the background submitted job terminates and the reason given in dba_scheduler_job_run_details is:
    REASON="Job slave process was terminated"
    There so no definits occurance pattren for this error.
    The job submitted in background is killed.
    The last entry the xml_load_log displayed is of Started Auto solving of a partition.
    After this error occurs, we have to Full Aggregate the cube; which offcourse would autosolve all partitions.
    We have been too much annoyed by this error as we did lot of package changes as part of a release to production to include Incremental cube loading, and once done, we see that incremental cube loading just terminates while autosolving a partitions.
    Can any one assist please? Urgent?
    thank you,

    Hi,
    There is a metalink note about this issue. Check note 443348.1

  • Incremental partition processing with changing dimensions?

    today i tried out an incremental processing technique on my cube. I have a partition by date which had 100 rows and an account dimension which had 50 rows.
    i executed a process full and then added 10 rows to the fact and modified 2 rows in the dimension as well as adding 10 rows to the dimension...
    i imagined that I could just do a process full on the dimension and process update on the partition, but upon doing that my cube was in an "unprocessed" state so i had to perform a process full...is there something i did wrong or do updates to dimensions
    require full rebuilds of all partitions?
    this was just an example on small data sets. in reality i have 20+ partitions and 500m rows in the fact table and 90m in the dimension.
    thanks in advance!
    Craig

    ".. i imagined that I could just do a process full on the dimension and process update on the partition, but upon doing that my cube was in an "unprocessed" state so i had to perform a process full .." - try doing a ProcessUpdate on the dimension
    instead. This paper explains the difference:
    Analysis Services 2005 Processing Architecture
    ProcessUpdate applies only to dimensions. It is the equivalent of incremental dimension processing in Analysis Services 2000. It sends SQL queries to read the entire dimension table and applies the changes—member updates, additions,
    deletions.
    Since ProcessUpdate reads the entire dimension table, it begs the question, "How is it different from ProcessFull?" The difference is that ProcessUpdate does not discard the dimension storage contents. It applies the changes in a "smart" manner that
    preserves the fact data in dependent partitions. ProcessFull, on the other hand, does an implicit ProcessClear on all dependent partitions. ProcessUpdate is inherently slower than ProcessFull since it is doing additional work to apply the changes.
    Depending on the nature of the changes in the dimension table, ProcessUpdate can affect dependent partitions. If only new members were added, then the partitions are not affected. But if members were deleted or if member relationships changed (e.g.,
    a Customer moved from Redmond to Seattle), then some of the aggregation data and bitmap indexes on the partitions are dropped. The cube is still available for queries, albeit with lower performance.

  • Review on the daily incremental cube database

    hi guys:
      I am creating a SSIS package to process the cube database on a daily basis.  Our cube database is around 50G and a full process on the database may take up to 120 mins, I certainly do not want to repeat everyday as I just want process one day's
    data and merge it to the current cube. 
     Here is what I want to do:
    1. in SSIS , create an analysis service Processing Task and use processing full on all dimensions. For very large dimension, I am going to use ProcessAdd (assuming there will be no updates on that dimension)
    2. Create another analysis service Processing task to process  default partition using Process Incremental option. In this way, I only process one day's data. Article below is what I want to follow
    http://bennyaustin.wordpress.com/2011/10/29/ssas-process-incremental/
    Questions: 
    1. Is this the correct way to handle cube processing on daily basis? 
    2. If I am going to create more partitions ( split the current mega partitions into smaller pieces),  which partition should I apply the process Incremental? 
    Thanks

    hi Aleksandr, thanks.. For the precess incremental on partition.. .Do I have to physically create a partition with query that will always refer to one day's data?
    Something like select allDimKey, measure from dbo.fact where checkoutdatetime >= Yesterday and checkoutdatetime < today
    One thing I am a bit confused so far... According to the link below, seems there is no
    need to create a physical daily partition

    Hi Anu,
    According to your description, you get errors when executing a cube processing task. Right?
    The error you posted just tell us there are too many errors during processing. Please pay attention to the errors around this error message. Those error will tell where the root issue happens. We suggest you use SQL Profiler to monitor SSAS. See:

  • SCSM2012: Cube processing failing on two cubes - ConfigItemDimKey not found

    Hi
    Two of our cubes (SystemCenterSoftwareUpdateCube and SystemCenterPowerManagementCube) has started to fail processing lately. In ServiceManager they the error is just "failed", but in SSAS there is a lot of errors.
    Both cubes fails with the following error when SSAS processing them:
    "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'ConfigItemDim', Column: 'ConfigItemDimKey', Value: '7200'. The attribute is 'ConfigItemDimKey'. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key was converted
    to an unknown member because the attribute key was not found. Attribute ConfigItemDimKey of Dimension: ConfigItemDim from Database: DWASDataBase, Cube: SystemCenterSoftwareUpdateCube, Measure Group: ConfigItemDim, Partition: ConfigItemDim, Record: 7201. Errors
    in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'ConfigItemDim'
    partition of the 'ConfigItemDim' measure group for the 'SystemCenterSoftwareUpdateCube' cube from the DWASDataBase database."
    => My question: is it possible to recreate this ConfigItemDimKey manually (and how), or delete those cube and create them from scratch (back to oob status) ?
    Thanks.
    /Peter

    Hi Peter,
    We recently had similar issues with our ChangeAndActivityManagementCube. After a conversation with a Microsoft supporter I was able to work around that problem and so far it hasn't appeared yet.
    As you can read from the error message the issues appears when Analysis Services tries to process the ConfigItemDim measure group. During the processing it's looking up the corresponding dimension for attribute key. Now when the Measure Group
    is getting processed before the corresponding dimension is processed, it's possible that the attribute key doesn't exist in the dimension table yet and then this error occurs.
    What you have to do is the following:
    1. Process the dimensions manually using PowerShell and the following code (change the server address and SQL instance and execute it on the AS server):
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.AnalysisServices") > $NULL
    $Server = New-Object Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Server
    $Server.Connect("YOUR_DW_AS_SERVER\DW_AS_INSTANCE")
    $Databases = $Server.Databases
    $DWASDB = $Databases["DWASDatabase"]
    $Dimensions = New-Object Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Dimension
    $Dimensions = $DWASDB.Dimensions
    foreach ($Dimension in $Dimensions){$Dimension.Process("ProcessFull")}
    2. Then process the affected measure group manually using the SQL Management Studio. You have to connect to the AS Engine, expand the DWASDatabase DB -> Cubes -> Measure Groups -> right click the affected Measure Group and select process ->
    leave the standard settings in the next window and press ok.
    You have to repeated step 2 for each Masure Group mentioned in the event logs.
    3. Now process the entire cube by right clicking the cube in SQL Management Studio and select Process. Now the processing should finish successfully.
    Since then the data warehouse cube processing jobs were working fine again too in our installation.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

    Any idea what might be the reason?

    Please refer another question with the same issue
    here
    Below is my answer from that post:
    From my experience, this may be because of data loading in dimensions or fact while you are processing your cube or (in worst case) the issue is not related to attribute keys at all. Because, if you re process the cube it will process successfully on the same
    set of records.
    First identify the processing
    option for your SSAS cube.  
    You can use SSIS "Analysis Service processing task" to process dimensions and fact separately. 
    or
    You can process object in batches (Batch
    Processing). Using batch processing you can select the objects to be processed and control the processing order.
    Also, a batch can run as a series of stand-alone jobs or as a transaction in which the failure of one process causes a rollback of the complete batch.
    To aggregate:
    Ensure that you are not loading data into fact and dimension while processing cube.
    Don't write queries for dirty read
    Remember when you process a dimension on ProcessFull or ProcessUpdate; cube will move to unprocessed state and it can
    not be queried. 
     

  • Regarding the tracking the live progress of the cube processing.

    Hello,
             Good Morning.  As we are having multiple cube applicatons as part of our project, there are multiple cubes for which we need to evaluate the completion time for the cube processing.
    By referencing one cube, the cube processing is taking one hour one day and some other day, It is taking an hour for completion. Beacuse of this reason, we could not be able to asses the time for completion of cube processing.
    Is there any chance to track the live status of the cube processing?. Which means, the expected time for completion? How many measure group processing are completed and how many left?
    Please provide your inputs on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Pradeep.

    Hi Kumar,
    According to your description, you want to monitor the progress of cube processing. Right?
    In Analysis Services, there are several tools can help us monitor the processing performance, like SQL Profiler, AS Trace, Performance Monitor, etc. We can also use XMLA command or DMV to get the information. Please see:
    Monitoring processing performance
    Monitoring and Tuning Analysis Services with SQL Profiler
    However, if you want to get the exact live data of the cube processing, Olaf's script can be an effective solution to get the current processing status for some measures or dimensions. But some information still can't be traced, like expected time for completion,
    etc. So for your requirement, it can't be fully achieved.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    . What is the number which we can see as 9 of 13?. Why It is different for each partittion of one measure group?
    . For few partitions, the Inprogress one's which we are getting as 9 or 13/12 or 13/7/200000?. What It doest meant for?

  • 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.

  • SQL Server Profiler does not capture cube processing queries against the relational database

    Hello, experts,
    This my first attempt to use SQL Server Profiler to find out why my cube processing is so slow. Here is what I did:
    My cube sources its data from a SQL Server database. While the cube processing is going, I launched the profiler connecting to the database engine (note: not the Analysis Services). I  choose the "Tuning" template and started the trace. However,
    I do not see any query activities (such as, SELECT DISTINCT ...) in the profiler trace window.
    Did I do something wrong, or do I have the wrong expectation?
    Thank you much in advance.

    Hi QQFA,
    Agree with Olaf.
    Please make sure that you choose the appropriate events to monitor the cube processing queries when using SQL Server Profiler.
    And I recommend you review the following links to get more information about tuning Analysis Services with SQL Profiler.

  • Improve cube process time

    Hi,
    I am processing cube with process full. its taking around 15 mins. I planned to improve this by adding indexes to the database. I used SQL Trace while processing & later used the result to the database tuning advisor to get recommendations. I got the
    recommendations & i have included those changes to the Database & then processed the cube but there is no improvement. I even tried to get the expensive queries from the trace & run in SSMS with Query execution plan but I am not able to figure
    out. Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi susheel1347,
    According to your description, you want to improve the cube processing. Right?
    In Analysis Services, cube processing is performed in Analysis Services by executing Analysis Services-generated SQL statements against the underlying relational database. Here we have some advices on improving the cube processing:
    Use integer keys if at all possible
    Use query binding to optimize processing
    Partition measure groups if you have a lot of data
    Use ProcessData and ProcessIndex instead of ProcessFull
    For more information, please refer to links below:
