Problem in loading data in OLAP 10.2.

Question

I created a cube with 9 dimensions, one of the dimension has three hierarchies defined; It works fine until one day it gives me "Data for at least One of the Hierarchies for ***Dimension controdicts the Definition of such Hierarchy as Level Based"; However, I checked the data, the data actually hold the one-many relationship btw parent level and child level within those hierarchies. Even more strangely, all three hierarchies works if they were the only hierarchy in the dimension. Any clue of this error? is it some bug in oracle olap?
specifically, Do two level based hierarchies affect each other if they are in same dimension? what is exactly level based hierarchy?

Answer 1

Hi, Brijesh
Thank you very much for the reply. That's exactly what I thought at my first glance; however, I checked the data in each of the three hierarchies, they all hold the (one-parent to many child && one child to one parent) relationship; actually, if I remove any two of the three, the rest one will work just fine; the dimension is defined as following:
1. five levels: l1, l2, l3, l4, l5, where l1 is the surrogatekey, l5 is total;
2. Three hierarchies:
1) h1: l1-->l2-->l5, where l5 is parent of l2, and l2 is parent of l1;
2) h2: l1-->l3-->l5,
3) h3: l1-->l4-->l5
The case is that, only when both h1 and h2 exist in the dimension, it gives data controdict error. i.e: if the dimension is defined as (h1), (h2), (h3), (h1, h3) or (h2, h3) it will just work fine; data load fails only for dimension (h1, h2) or (h1, h2, h3).
It seems to me that even it's two independent hierarchy, they will actually affect each other's data consistency. Could this be a bug when oracle is creating family relationship, or inhier relationship for dimenstion? Any idea of this?
Thank you.
