RSALOC02 error in OLAP

Question

We have recently started getting RSALOC02 system errors when running a dataload process. The thread below describes a solution using OWNSPACE but it's an old thread for Express 6.2.0.2.
ORACLE EXPRESS SERVER 6.2.0.2 SYSTEM ERROR RSALOC02
Does anyone know how/if OWNSPACE can be applied to dimensions created in AWM for Oracle OLAP 10g or 11g? or if there is an alternative?

Answer 1

Oracle Support NOTE says the following about this error:
System Error RSALOC02 While Mantain or Load a Cube [ID 464463.1]
     Modified 29-APR-2010 Type PROBLEM Status PUBLISHED      
Applies to:
Oracle OLAP - Version: 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.3 - Release: 10.1 to 10.2
Oracle Warehouse Builder - Version: 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 [Release: 10.2 to 10.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
When attempting to maintain an OLAP cube that has built in AWM or while loading data in a cube
from OWB, then the following errors occur in the alert.log file:
** OLAP Option logged the following system error
** SYSTEM ERROR RSALOC02 **
** along with process call stack, to tracefile
** e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\dwh\udump\dwh_ora_1864.trc
Errors in file e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\dwh\udump\dwh_ora_1864.trc:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [XSOOPS], [RSALOC02]
Errors in file e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\dwh\udump\dwh_ora_1864.trc:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [xsCBTInit00], [0x025A7CC00]
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [XSOOPS], [RSALOC02].
Cause
The xsCBTInit00 means that there is an out of ranspace.
Moreover, the RSALOC02 generally implies that the composite BTREE
(metadata which is kept around for each composite) has grown too large
for its ranspace, a special part of the database. This is a fixed limit
and depends on the density of the data in your composite.
Solution
1) Compress the composites using BTREE64.
For example:
1.1) log in AWM through the olap user owner
1.2) open the Olap Worksheet
1.3) type the following commands:
CONSIDER <composite Name>
CHGDFN <composite Name> BTREE64;
(CONSIDER to make that object definition the current definition)
(CHGDFN command enables you to change certain aspects of the definitions
of analytic workspace objects).
2) Use less dimensions in the composites (meaning that one or more dimensions of the composite is dense with respect to the others).
3) Reduce the complexity of the dimensions.
Using export and import commands,
then removing the density of the data
(density of the data means that the data are kept space not properly
due they are keeping cells sporadically).
For example:
considering "AWNAME" your AW and "myuser" your user.
3.1) Create a directory object, and grant the privileges with your user
that you are working (i.e.: myuser)
SQL> connect as sysdba
SQL> create directory my_dir as 'D:\temp_aw';
SQL> grant read, write on directory my_dir to myuser;
3.2) Export AW object: AWNAME
login as myuser in sqlplus
set serveroutput on
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw attach AWNAME ro');
exec dbms_aw.execute('limit name to all');
exec dbms_aw.execute('allstat');
exec dbms_aw.execute('export all to eif file ''my_dir/export_file_name.eif'' ');
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw detach AWNAME');
3.3) Drop AW object: AWNAME
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw delete AWNAME');
3.4) Create empty AW object
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw create AWNAME');
3.5) Import data
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw attach AWNAME');
exec dbms_aw.execute('import all from eif file ''my_dir/export_file_name.eif'' ');
exec dbms_aw.execute('update');
commit;
exec dbms_aw.execute('aw detach AWNAME');
