Probem processing dimensions

Hi!
We got problem when processing dimensions in one of our Appsets. We are running BPC 7.5 SP4 on SQL 2008
We get the following error message:
- Server: The operation has been cancelled due to memory pressure.
Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the S_Model dimension, from the file, '
?\d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Data\Stampen_Projekt.0.db\S_Model.37.dim.xml'.
Anyone knows what the problem can be?
Regards
Fredrik

I am also encountering this error on a 64-bit server running both SQL and SASS.
This machine has 32GB of physical memory, with SQL's min set to 0 and max set to 10GB. SASS's memory limit is set to 25
This error is occuring on a development server and once triggered, seems to foil every subsequent attempt to process any appset, until a reboot occurs. The dimension cited in the error was not even included in the requested processing.
- Server: The operation has been cancelled due to memory pressure.
Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <DIMENSION> dimension, from the file, '
?\E:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Data\<APPSET>.0.db\<DIMENSION>.66.dim.xml'.

Error while processing dimension after add or delete property

Hi Experts,
I use BPC for MS SP6 with SQL Server 2008. I detected a problem while processing dimension after add or delete property.
The error message is: u201CMemory error: Allocation failure : Not enough storage is available to process this command. Error Code = 0x8007000E, External Code = 0x00000000.u201D
I tried to truncate and drop dimension tables and process dimension again, and it doesnu2019t work.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi Sorin,
Yestarday in the afternoon, we added a Property at another Dimension, and we continued having the same problem: we had errors when processing that dimension, but after restarting the server, we can process dimension.
Looking at the Event Viewer, at 'OutlookSoft log' environment, the following error appears:

Error when processing dimension using XMLA script

I am hopeful that someone has an answer for this...
I am in the process of deploying SQLServer 2014 and have been running in parallel with my production environment for 2 weeks with no issues. Yesterday morning, my primary data load job failed while executing a process dimension script. The script
does a process update on multiple dimensions, but fails on the product dimension. This is the script:
<Batch xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
<Parallel>
<Process xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ddl2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2" xmlns:ddl2_2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2/2">
<Object>
<DatabaseID>WestLakeSales</DatabaseID>
<DimensionID>Dim Product</DimensionID>
</Object>
<Type>ProcessUpdate</Type>
<WriteBackTableCreation>UseExisting</WriteBackTableCreation>
</Process>
</Parallel>
</Batch>
It processes the attributes and starts processing the associated measure groups, then fails with a return code that I cannot find any information on:
<return xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">
<results xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/xmla-multipleresults">

<Messages xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:exception">
<Error ErrorCode="3238133769" Description="" Source="Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Analysis Services" HelpFile="" />
</Messages>
</root>
</results>
</return>
At the end of the job log it just shows this:
Finished processing the 'Inventory Weekly 2009 08' partition.
Processing of the 'Inventory Weekly 2009 06' partition has started.
Finished processing the 'Inventory Weekly 2009 06' partition.
Processing of the 'Inventory Weekly 2010 02' partition has started.
The job completed with failure.
The job completed with failure.
The job completed with failure.
Execution complete
When I run process update from Studio it processes all of the attributes and measure group partitions, then throws a single 'error' result with no description or message. It appears that all partitions process successfully. See the screen shot:
This script ran fine up until yesterday. There were no system changes. The same script is currently running fine on the production SQLServer 2008 instance.
Anyone see anything like this happening in SSAS 2014? Any tips on further trouble shooting?

Hi Bendare2,
Thank you for sharing your solution.

Processed Dimension IDs not saving in the backend server

Hi Experts,
After successfully processing dimensions, the newly added dimension IDs or the changed dimensions are not reflecting in the backend BI server. And naturally not in the Office client.
I have checked logs in SLG1, couldnt find issue. Checked dumps, nothing particular found.
Checked the .NET server as well, no problems.
We are on SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP09.
Any idea why this could be happening?
Best Regards,
Sayan

Hi Sabine,
I checked the log files earlier itself on the server but they didnot help. Last updates in the files were from November.
What i have found today is, after i tried to process the dimensions for mutiple times, they finally got processed in the backend as well. I was checking in SM66, every time processes were triggered for BPC_ADMIN in the backend, when i started processing.
But when i went to SLG1, there were entries with grey status (not processed) for same master data object and subobject 'master data update'. Since they are dialog process i could not any further entry from where i could find why they were not processing.
Any idea? Thanks again for your patience with the responses
Best Regards,
Sayan

Unable to process dimension - BPC 7 Microsoft

hello,
I've installed BPC 7.0 SP3 and dimension processing doesn't work. (SQL 2005 SP3 Enterprise, IIS 6, Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise...)
Dimension processing stops at the beginning (step 1 - validating dimension) with this message: "An error has occurred during processing".
On BPC client computer, the log contained in "My DocumentsOutlookSoftLoggingAdminMemberProcess" shows these messages:
    DetailMsg : {System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. --> Could not find file "D:BPCDataWebfoldersApShellAdminApp%CHANGED_DIM%.xls".

==============[System Error Tracing End ]==============
Has anyone seen this before ?
I'm able to modify/process and optimize Apshell applications and Server Manager and client diagnostics are OK. No error message in event logs... So where is the problem ?
Thanks for your help. R.

Hi Sorin
I have one server for SQL/OLAP and one server for Files, Web and Application.
I've offered EVERYONE all rights on folders.
BPC Setup puts XCEEDZIP.DLL in Websrvr in and
install guide tells to put ANTIXSSLibrary.dll in Websrvrweb in
Do you agree with that ?
I've put XCEEDZIP.DLL and ANTIXSSLibrary.dll in BOTH folders (but tell me if the rule above is enough) and now:
I don't have any more error message when opening BPC admin.And ADMINCACHE_.zip file is not destroyed any more when refreshing dimension client files. That's better...But...
...when I want to process dimensions I still have an error message but a little different:
{System.Exception: Cannot find dimension member sheet file; use the export dimension feature to restore it from the member table...}
Do we still need an OSOFT Share and if we need it, where ? On the folder above webfolders ?
Folders (but not files inside them), folders remain with "Read" property greyed and checked. I do not know why. Whenever I uncheck the folders and apply...close the window and re-open they seem to be still with this property "Read" greyed and checked... Is it normal ?
Thanks a lot for your help. R.
NB: with File Monitor tool from sysinternals (Microsoft) we can see that we are back to the first error:
if we are processing the account dimension for example, dllhost.exe will work with account.xls file, then with account.xls.zip file, account.xls.zip.001 file and account.xlsTemp_ file and then it fails to find the %CHANGED_DIM%.xls file...

Error in Processing Dimension

Hi
I have a USER DEFINED DIMENSION , MATERIAL, which i am when trying to process the dimension from the Admin Console it is given me an error message
"The request falied with HHTP status 401: Unauthorized.
Cannot save member sheet to the server, do you want to save it to the local machine"
For all other dimenion,(along with other User Defined DimensionAlso) the Processing is Successful.
We are using customized SSIS Package to update & process the MATERIAL Dimension at the back end to the mbr table.
Can anybody throw some light on the same
Thanks & Regards
krish

The problem it is related to your custom SSIS package.
You said you are updating the mbr table but this doesn't means the excel sheet will be updated automatically.
More than that you have to use standard BPC tasks to process the dimension into back end.
If you didn't use these tasks then I can understand why you have these authentication issue.
So I suggest to check the custom package and also I suggest first to do modify dimension and to see if you have the right properties and to save this dimension one more time.
I suppose after that you will be able to process dimension but again I don't know if what you have into excel sheet it is the same with what you have ointo mbrtable.

Process dimensions and Applications after Restore

We are using BPC 7.0MS. We need to process dimensions and Applications after the database restore in case of any Optimization failures. It takes around 3 hours for us to do this process. Can we skip the BPC process by taking backup of Database and SSAS and restoring them in case of any failures?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,
you can try but remeber that after the restore you must execute a "modifiy application" for all your applications so maybe you'll not gain time.
Kind regards

Users cannot process dimensions

Hi everybody,
We are working on SAP BPC NW version 7.0, SP05 and we cannot process dimensions, unless we use a specific user (the only one that appears at UJA_SVR_DEFAULT table). If we try to process a dimension with another user, the following message appears: Unexpected error in application server
What do we have to change in order a user created at BPC Admin can process dimensions?
Any idea out there?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support,
Albert Mas

Hi Nilanjan,
We have created users with the following roles:
TEAMS -
> ADMIN
TASK PROFILES -
> FULL_TSK
where FULL_TSK has enabled AccessContentLib,WebAdmin,AdminJournal,Application,Appset,Business Rules, VreateJournal,DefineSecurity,Dimension, Execute, GeneralAdmin,LiveReport,Lockings,ManageAudit,ManageContentLib,ManageDistributor,CreateWebpage,ManageTemplate, Misc, PostJournals,PrimaryAdmin,PublishOffline,ReviewJournals,SetWorkStatus,SubmitData, TeamLeadAdmin,UnpostJournals,eAnalyze,Update to company folder, ManageLiveReport,ManageComments,AddComment,AuditReport,CommentReport,WorkStatusReport,SecurityReport
MEMBER ACCESS PROFILES --> AdminMbrAccPrf, FULL_MBR
As there is no protected dimension for the application, the table at the second step when you modify each Member Access Profile, is empty.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,

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.

What's 'Process dimension member' and 'Refresh dimension member'

We're using BPC 7.5 NW SP8 patch 001.
I often have confusion about these two buttions of dimension library on BPC admin console.
When clicking 'Process dimension member' and 'Refresh demension member', clearly we see BPC is performing some activities.
If I switch tracing in ST05, some tables, such as UJD_DIMENSION, UJD_DOC and temperory tables. were accessed and updated.
For my understanding, table UJD_DOC is using to find sheet template in UJFS and table UJD_DIMENSION is using to control versions between file service and BW infoobject tables.
But I cannot understand what's necessarity for 'Refresh dimension member'.
Does this activity will fetch data from BW infoobject tables and refresh files in UJFS ? But I cannot see 'Update' action in ST05 tracing file.
The other one - 'Process dimension member': does that mean syncroniization between files in UJFS and BW infoobject tables ?
If so, why temperory table /1CPMB/B_* is storing some records?
Could BPC expert guide me the way to understand? Appreciated.

Hi Brad,
Refresh Dimension members is to update client infomration.
When you log on to an application set whose structure has changed (there are changes to dimensions and templates stored on the server), the system automatically updates your client information. You can also initiate this procedure manually, which you should do only when instructed by your administrator. Hope this helps.

Error when processing dimensions

Hello,
I'm working with BPC 7.0 NW and I'm trying to process the dimension P_ACC (copied from the APSHELL directly) and I get the following errors:
"Failed to expand K2 function for dimension P_ACCT's member formulas" and
"MDX statement error:"You do not have the authorization for component !!"
Any idea about how to solve this erros?
Thanks and regards,
Ana

Hi Ana
Its called MDXLib.lgl not MDX.lgl
find that in the appset apshell and try to copy the same in similar path in your appset.
I think it must be in logic files folder not sure of exact path.
But that should not be issue here since you are using direct MDX Query, can you just remove that one formula and process dimension and then remove the cache
Then add back the formula and then see how it works, then try using some other account for now as divisor (Denominator) and see what happens
Thanks and Regards

Error when Schedule Processing Dimension

Hi Buddies,
From the help of BPC, I know BPC can schedule processing dimension in the background.
I acted as the instruction according with the steps in Help, but it doesn't work. (The help told me let the source table blank, but the system will tell me need to put a source table. I don't know how to put into a source table name)
Can anyone give some advice?
Thanks in advance!
Maggie

Maggie,
When scheduling the dimension process from the administration console a table called TempScheduleMBRxxxx is created where xxxx is the dimensionname of the dimension your just scheduled to process. Try to put this tablename as the sourcetable, I think it should work. So if you are scheduling the Entity dimension try to put TempScheduleMBRentity into this field.
Of coursw also check after scheduling if the table is really created in the SQL database.

Processing dimension error :DUPLICATE DIMENSION MEMBER %1 IS DETECTED

When I try to process the Account Dimension, I get an error u201CDUPLICATE DIMENSION MEMBER %1 IS DETECTEDu201D.
However my dimension does not contain any duplicate members.
Appreciate if someone could interpret this error message and help me resolve the issue
Thanks,
Sowmya
Edited by: 281642 on Nov 10, 2011 11:34 AM

Hi Sowmya,
We had same error couple of times. The issue is you could have some blank rows inserted at the end of your master data. Try the following steps
1. Maintain master data
2. Go to the last row with valid master data
3. Select all rows below it and right click and delete
4. Save and process dimension
Hopefully this should resolve your issue.

Process Dimension after BW to BPC Master Data Load

Hi All,
i'm looking for the way to process a dimension after master data load from BW to BPC (following the corresponding how to guide in BPC 7.5 NW). The new members are visible from BPC Administrator -> Mantain Dimension Members, but not visible in BPC for Excel after "Refresh Dimension Member".
New members are visible only if i process dimension from BPC Administrator , but I want this task to be automatic.
¿Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Enrique

Thanks for your reply,
I'm using Standard Process Chain IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER in BPC 7.5 NW SP03. I will open a Sap note.
As a quick solution, I found in SAP Help (is 7.0 but I suppose it's the same behaviour in 7.5) there is another Process Chain (ADMINTASK_MAKEDIM) that can be used to process a Dimension http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/36/339907938943ad95d8e6ba37b0d3cd/frameset.htm. It has two parameteres ("Dimension Name" and "Input File"). Help says that if you leave "Input File" field blank, the dimension is processed, but it is mandatory field in package.
I have tried to modify package parameters but always appears an error with MEM_XML_PATH parameter in process chain.
¿Does anybody know how this package/process chain works?
Thanks again,.
Enrique

BPC Process Dimension Pop Up Freezes

Hi all,
When I delete a member of a dimension and then process dimension, a pop up openned. In the pop up, it is written that "Validate process dimension, waiting for the server to response". And then nothing happens after 30 minutes.No error, no change, nothing.But when I check st22, I see that there is a runtime error "DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND".And in the details " The current ABAP program "RSDMDD_DELETE_KERNEL" had to be interrupted because it contains a statement that cannot be executed." In addition I chekced whether there is a lock but there isn't any lock.
Nevertherless, when I close BPC Admin Console and then open, I see that the changes are made correctly.However, in BW , it does not delete the row from master data of the same characteristic but when I add new row, it adds that row in both BW and BPC Admin console.
Any idea on that?Is this a BW issue or BPC issue?
There is one thread about this subject but it is unanswered in fact.I need to delete members.
Corrupt dimension - can't process, can't delete
Any help will be appreciated,

Edited by: sunnybt on Mar 5, 2012 5:37 PM

Hi,
You can try couple of things to check if it resolves your issue:
- Try renaming the xml file that the dimenion processing generates in the backend in UJFS tcode. First go to the tcode UJFS and find your dimension library there. There would be a xml file for your user defined dimension rename only the xml file adding a 1 to its name. Go back to the dimension, open it up, save and process to generate the xml file again. Try deleting some members then. Please check if you can.
- Try to create another new dimension and see if the new dimension has same problem of deleting the members from it as your existing user defined dimension whille deleting the members when assigned to an application.
Thanks,
Sreeni
