ORA-34492: Analytic workspace object __XML_GET_FULLTOAW_NAME does not exist

Question

Hi,
We are experiencing the following error when trying to retrieve data from the OLAP layer in our front-end:
ORA-34492: Analytic workspace object __XML_GET_FULLTOAW_NAME does not exist.
to be more specific, the following happens:
We are using the Oracle OLAP Java api's to query the analytical workspace. We create a Source object that contains the joins we want. This source is prepared and committed via the TransactionProvider class. Via the DataProvider we then create an SQLCursorManager and generate the SQL and execute it via JDBC.
We were able to execute it without problems on an XP development platform. When switching to another platform that we use, it gives the following error messages:
(platform with the error is Linux x86-64; more version info further down)
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-34492: Analytic workspace object __XML_GET_FULLTOAW_NAME does not exist.

Platform/version info that produces the error:
Linux x86-64
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE     10.2.0.3.0     Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
OLAP A patch for 10.2.0.3 is applied.
Platform where this works without problems:
Windows XP
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Any info on resolving this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed

Answer 1

Hi Keith,
Yesterday I actually fully rebuilt/redeployed the AW. (I only patched our 10.2.0.3 installation with the OLAP A patch very recently.) Even the AW's tablespace was recreated, just to make sure everything was gone. Redeployment of the OLAP objects from OWB control center went without any problems.
Let me answer your questions one by one below.
1) How did you build the AW?
We use OWB. The only thing I used AWM for is to actually create the AW. Once created, I use OWB to design and deploy. The front-end developers use AWM sometimes for viewing data in the OLAP objects. (I use OWB or AWM for that.)
2) Can you connect to the AW via AWM, if so can you use the Data Viewer option to view:
a) each dimension and check you can drill up and down.
b) each cube
I have been playing around a bit with the dim's and cubes in the AWM by right-clicking and selecting view data ... (that's the data viewer option?) and encountered no problems.
3) You are using the OLAP API directly, what sort of application are you building - Java Client, JSP, Applet and are you using BI Beans?
We are building a JSP type application, but so far only servlet code is being executed as the failure occurs on issuing the query. We are not using BI BEans.
Thanks for your feedback!
