Incremental refresh in Planning Desktop only processes 1 member

Question

Hello,
We're running Essbase 9.2.0.2 on AIX, Planning Desktop 9.2.0.2 on Windows, 2003, and Oracle 10g R2 on an AIX machine also.
We copied our Oracle schema "X" to schema "Y" and linked it to a new Planning Application. Now, whenever we run a refresh (incremental or full) it only processes one member (no matter how many changes are pending). The pending x-acts table will get cleared out and only the first one will get added to Essbase.
I've been working with Hyperion on this for over a year and they've determined that the last query (see below) that gets ran isn't getting the all the rows it needs. Basically, the query runs and only gets one result where it should get as many rows as there are in the pending x-acts table. This query runs perfectly in schema "X".
This query does an outer join with HSP_STRINGS table. If we remove the outer join to that table, the query returns the desired results. Any thoughts on this?
SELECT
O1.OBJECT_ID,
O.OBJECT_NAME,
O2.OLD_NAME AS PARENTOLD,
O2.OBJECT_NAME AS PARENTNEW,
O.PARENT_ID,
O.POSITION,
M.CONSOL_OP1,
M.DATA_STORAGE,
M.TWOPASS_CALC,
O.OLD_NAME,
O3.OBJECT_NAME AS CURRENCY_CODE,
O.HAS_CHILDREN,
M.USED_FOR_CONSOL,
O2.PARENT_ID,
O2.POSITION,
O3.OBJECT_ID,
O.OBJECT_TYPE,
S.THE_STRING
FROM
HSP_PENDING_XACTS O1,
HSP_STRINGS S,
HSP_MEMBER M,
HSP_ENTITY R,
HSP_CURRENCY C,
HSP_OBJECT O2,
HSP_OBJECT O3,
HSP_OBJECT O
WHERE
O1.OBJECT_ID=S.STRING_SEQ (+) AND O1.OBJECT_ID=M.MEMBER_ID AND M.MEMBER_ID=R.ENTITY_ID
AND R.DEFAULT_CURRENCY=C.CURRENCY_ID AND O.OBJECT_ID=O1.OBJECT_ID
AND C.CURRENCY_ID=O3.OBJECT_ID
AND O.PARENT_ID=O2.OBJECT_ID AND M.MEMBER_ID <> M.DIM_ID
AND R.USED_IN IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
AND O1.XACT_TYPE = 1 AND O1.PLAN_TYPE = 1
ORDER BY O.OBJECT_TYPE, O.GENERATION, O.POSITION

Hi,
The UDA will only retain member formulas.
If you read all the information on the page, this relates to your situation :-
To retain changes made directly to the Essbase outline, you must update the outline after every Refresh (for example, using MAXL scripts). Such changes can be automated. This process is not supported, and every effort should be made to work directly in Performance Management Architect or Planning. For more information, consult Hyperion Services or Hyperion Partners.
