Weird OLAP Partition Error

16:49:12 ***Error Occured in BUILD_DRIVER: In
__XML_SEQUENTIAL_LOADER: In __XML_MNG_PARTITIONS: In __XML_MNG_REG_PARTITION: In __XML_CRT_REG_PARTITION_ITEM:
AW_OWNER.AW_TEST!TEST_DIMENSION_3 appears more than once in the
dimension list. (It is also a base dimension of
AW_OWNER.AW_TEST!TEST_CUBE_PERIOD_LVL_11200611_PRTCOMP.)
AW details are as follows:
Schema = AW_OWNER
Analytical Workspace = AW_TEST
Dimension = TEST_DIMENSION_3
Cube = TEST_CUBE
Level = PERIOD_LVL (CALENDAR dimension)
AW$ Table was created with 60 paritions.
11200611 is the PERIOD_ID, and can be subdivided as follows:
11        || 2006 || 1       || 1
ENTIYY_ID || YEAR || QUARTER || PERIOD
**************************************** The total number of Entities are 190, so for every Entity, there would be 12 periods for a single Year, which is 2006.
** When I try to limit the Entities to 10, the maintenance finish
The weird thing here is that when I maintain with fewer records, the maintenance of the dimension would be successful. I'm guessing that the partitions being created(which is based on PERIOD_LVL of CALENDAR dimension) is too many for the OLAP engine to handle?
Has anyone else got a solution for this?

No. It uses the word "passphrase" (I don't know why this matters). This is completely unrelated to Windows and iPhone. Like I said, I am merely generating a CSR on my Macbook Pro which will EVENTUALLY become part of the iPhone development process. So this problem has nothing to do with an iPhone or even the SDK. It's just Keychain Access on the computer.
I tried to disable filevault as you suggested, but it appears that it was never enabled to begin with.

    Hi All ,
    While executing the cube generation I am getting an error. Anybody knows the reason ? I have amended the olap_page_pool_size to 200MB and it doesn't help at all .

    HI David ,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My Time Dimension having 10 years of data in day level granularity and Fact table is not partitioned and having only one month of data as 299 records .
    Just to let you know that we define two hierarchy level under TIMES one is "ALL levels" and another is Detail where END_DATE has been defaulted with some value and TIME_SPAN is set mapped to the Times table column having distinct value 1 for each records .Also the Member specified as ROW_WID of the Time table.
    Just to let you know we have ran(Maintain from Dimension hierarchy) 'Product' and 'Position' dimension individually and it works fine i.e Load ,Compile and Sync process works fine but while run Times it is throwing issue :
    ORA-4030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 59340 bytes (OLAP PGA Stack,xsVPBlankParm: PPARM)&quot; while executing DML
    we run the Times hierarchy from OLAPTRAIN and it was perfectly fine . Not sure with our time Dim definition .
    Any clue ?
    Many Thanks,

  • Stumped On How To Fix HFS+Partition Error!! Help!

    WEll hello and i am having so much trouble with my mac software. My current setup is as follows.

    Here's my problem. I made all the partitions correctly and installed the Mac software onto my pc with already had Windows XP installed on it. The install went smoothly and the disk was mounted and formatted correctly. But after the install of the Mac OS I restart my pc and boot into Mac. Immediatly a message comes up saying HFS+ Partition Error. I have tried tons of things to fix it but everywhere I go it tells you have to fix erros related to intalling Windows onto a Mac. But luckily my Windows Xp still boots up fine. Someone out please help me!!

  • Trouble installing Lion due to partition error

    Hi everyone,
    So I don't know a whole lot about computers, and I have had my macbook for a couple years now and decided to install Lion last night. After I downloaded it, I got an error message saying that it could not be installed and I needed to change my HD's partitioning to GUID. The internal HD I have in my mac now I installed myself, and I must have accidentally clicked apple partition map instead of GUID when I installed it, which didn't cause a problem until now (my macbook has an intel processor). So i backed up everything on my HD to an external HD using carbon copy, hoping that I would just be able to reformat/partition my internal HD correctly and move everything back onto it from my external drive. I booted my computer using the external drive, and tried to repartition using disk utility, but I keep getting a partition error message that tells me the disk cannot be unmounted. I got the same message when I tried just erasing the disk first. Anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thanks, and Happy Holidays!!

    Try starting from your Snow Leopard Install disc.

  • Java Embedding Weird XML Node Error

    Ok, I am going crazy. I have a java embedding node that takes a date string in, changes it to a different format and creates another date that contains the current time. if I run this in java to code run ok and there are no issues. At the end of the java I print out the string and they are exactly what I want. The thing that is going on is when I set the 2 string BPEL variables in the java embedding, when I try to reference them the 2nd time,I get a weird node object error. I get through the first pass ok. when I try to reference Test1 or Test2 on the 2nd pass I get the error below. Its like when I set the variable currentDB2UpdateDate and currentDB2CurrTimeDate it does something to them. Instead of setting it to just the string it seems to set it to some kind of object.
    I have 3 steps here. Assign -> Java Embedding -> Assign.
    Assign 1 => Initialize 2 String variables to X.
    <code>
    <assign name="Assign_2">
    <copy>
    <from expression="string('X')"/>
    <to variable="currentDB2UpdateDate"/>
    </copy>
    <copy>
    <from expression="string('X')"/>
    <to variable="currentDB2CurrTimeDate"/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    </code>
    Java Embedding =>
    <code>
    String currentFileDate = (String)getVariableData("currentFileDate");
    String currentDate = "";
    try
    SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    Date date = sdfSource.parse(currentFileDate);
    SimpleDateFormat sdfDestination = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
    currentFileDate = sdfDestination.format(date);
    catch(ParseException pe)
    System.out.println("Parse Exception : " + pe);
    try
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
    currentDate = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
    catch(Exception pe)
    System.out.println("Parse Exception : " + pe);
    System.out.println("currentFileDate : " + currentFileDate.toString());
    System.out.println("currentDate : " + currentDate.toString());
    setVariableData("currentDB2UpdateDate",currentFileDate);
    setVariableData("currentDB2CurrTimeDate",currentDate);
    </code>
    Assign 3 =>
    <code>
    <assign name="Assign_1">
    <copy>
    <from variable="currentDB2UpdateDate"/>
    <to variable="Test1"/>
    </copy>
    <copy>
    <from variable="currentDB2CurrTimeDate"/>
    <to variable="Test2"/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    </code>
    <code>

    </code>
    The 2nd pass to this throws the following error when trying to set Test1 and Test2 again... Its like it is setting the variable to an object and not just the string. I tried using toString() in the setVariable too and it didn't work. I don't get it.

    I am also facing a similar issue.There is selection failure in assignment to local variable of BPEL .
    PFB the logs :
    parts: {{
    summary=&amp;lt;summary&amp;gt;Invalid to part type.
    When performing the assign operation, the to node false is invalid.
    The node named in the error message was either null or an empty node set, and it was not an instance of org.w3c.Element.
    Verify the node value at line number 3577 is not null and is an instance of org.w3c.Element.
    &amp;lt;/summary&amp;gt;}
    Here is the code:
    <copy>
    <from expression="xpath20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime($calculatednpexectime,'P200YT')"/>
    <to variable="calculatednpexectime"/>
    </copy>
    It seems as if Oracle is not accepting the date format .
    Is there some issue with local variables of new version of BPEL ??

    The most likely explanation is that you have a numeric attribute whose data type precision is less than that of the column it is mapped to. For example if you had an attribute with data type NUMBER(2) and you mapped it to a column with data type NUMBER(5), then you could get this error on load. Note that some of the attributes may not be visible in AWM. The offending SQL statement should be in the OUTPUT column of the CUBE_BUILD_LOG, but you may be able to fix this by just describing the view associated with the dimension. For example, here is the description of a TIME view created in 11.2..

    I have seen this (in 11.1.0.7, I believe) when the metadata cache ("kgl") gets out of synch with the data dictionary. Specifically there is a flag that determines if prefixes get added to dimension members ("use surrogates" in AWM terms) that becomes false instead of true. If you look at the generated SQL in the OUTPUT column of the CUBE_BUILD_LOG you may find that sometimes a prefix is added to dimension members (e.g. "LEAF_LEVEL_" || dim_table.leaf_column) and othertimes it is not (e.g. just dim_table.leaf_column). A workaround if this is the case may be to execute the following (as dba) before building the dimension.
    alter system flush shared_pool;

    I have seen this kind of error show up if you rename an object (e.g. a measure) and then make further modifications. Did that happen in your case? If you export the cube to XML, delete it from AWM, and then recreate it from XML, then it may resolve the problem. If not, and if it is preventing your from making progress, then I would open a service request since we usually need to enable tracing to resolve this class of error.

  • Partition error. couldn't unmount disk

    Please

    My macbook air (OS x lion ) hard disk got crashed. now it starts with a grey screen and MAC OS X utilities. in the disk utility, the hard disk icon became inactive. when i erased the disk it became active again but i am still not able to partition it. it showed -- "Partition Error". "Couldn't unmount disk". now the disk icon became inactive again. when i click on mount it becomes active again but partioning is not done after many attempts.
    another problem: - when it I click to proceed with the installation (still unpartitioned) it verifies my macbook's eligibility and says that the machine information is not with apple. below are the screenshots.
    is there any internet issue, i got connected on my institute's wi-fi (excellent speed- 54mbps)

  • Invalid Partition Error with each boot after BIOS update???

    Need help from the experts:
    I have all of a sudden had problems with every boot, receiving an "invalid partition" error every timeI start my machine. ONly significant thing I have done lately is flash bios to v 1.1 on the K8N Neo2 Plat board using MSI tool. I had no such problems prior to flashing to 1.1, though I have had other problems related to memory voltage...
    What, if anything, does BIOS have to do with it? my drives are both 160GB, formatted NTFS each a single large partition...is the system thinking that's an invalid partition size?
    At any rate, I have already tried a complete low level format of my drives and re-install of Win XP Pro from scratch to make sure nothing was corrupted, and sure enough, upon next boot (needed to complete some driver installs) I get the same error. Of note, I also get an error re: one of my 2 DVD drives...related?
    So, for now, the only way around this is to boot using XP CD, execute 'R' for recovery, then use DOS command 'FIXMBR' to write a new boot record, and then I am able to get back in...until the next re-boot.
    Have had numerous issues with this board / bios, though this is the most profound one.
    Need help...this is confounding me. What should I be looking into, trying next?
    system:
    AMD 64 3500+, stock cooling
    Zalman 400B psu
    MSI K8N Neo2 PLatinum mobo
    2 GB Corsair XMS C2PT ram (4 x 512)
    2 x 160 GB Samsung HDD
    Asus E616P1 16x DVD rom
    Plextor 712A DVD RW / CDRW
    MSI 9800PRO 128
    Audigy 2 ZS

    How did you'll updates your bios?? using liveupdates or what?? what version are you trying to updates? the old to the new version of bios..btw keith can you lists down ur spec's like seacoast guy including the psu (watts and rails) in full details. Gd luck

  • Partitioning error in bootcamp

    also why do i get a partitioning error that says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files connot be moved"
    the seubtext says "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    ps sorry about the link, its the only way to copy and paste

    It means one of two things:
    1. You are trying to create too large a partition and are running into a part of the drive OS X is currently using.
    2. Your request needs contiguous space, but the drive is slightly fragmented and Boot Camp Assistant cannot allocate the amount of contiguous space requested.
    You can try configuring a smaller Windows partition if that's feasible. Otherwise, you need to defragment your hard drive.
    Defragmenting a Drive
    1. Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    2. Boot from the external hard drive.
    3. Erase the internal hard drive.
    4. Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    3. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

  • Disk Utility - Solution for a Weird MediaKit Partition "too small" Error

    I found a very suggestive article, could be a silver bullet for this kind of problem.
    *http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760190*
    +*quote from SWedd*+
    +In my case, it was caused by the Apple_Bootstrap partition (created during Ubuntu install), of format unknown to OSX. This partition was positioned right after my Macintosh_HD partition. To enlarge my Macintosh_HD I needed to use diskutil to erase the Apple_Bootstrap partition to a blank "MS-DOS" partition. Then I could use Disk Utility to Delete the MS-DOS partition. After that I could resize my Macintosh_HD freely.+
    In my understanding, if you failed to increase the size of a certain partition, it might mean a partition just after that partition is corrupted or broken (whether or not it is corrupted, you can know it by using command "diskutil info ...").
    With command "diskutil eraseVolume ..." you can erase the partition in question, then with "diskutil mergePartitions ..." merge the partition you want to increase in size and the partition you just erased. Now you can increase the size without any error.
    Anyway, diskutil can do several things which Disk Utility can't do.
    To resort to diskutil is sure worthwhile.

    Welcome to the Apple forums and thanks for the information.
    Warning:
    The terminal command
    diskutil
    should be used with care, as with most terminal commands.
    A good rule to remember is "If you do not know what something will do, do not do it."
    For information on diskutil, in a terminal enter

  • Bootcamp Partitioning Error?

    Hello
    I am trying to use bootcamp to partition a disk of windows 8.1 onto my Mac.  I can go through up until the point where it tells me to install.  Then it starts installing and gives me this error message after a few seconds:
    Your disk could not be partitioned
    An error occurred while partitioning the disk
    So I really really need to figure out a way around this.
    I am using a mac from mid 2011 and I am trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit.
    If you can help me out that would be great.
    (P.S. I did set up this windoes 8.1 disk with parallels on my computer originally but then I uninstalled it so I could use bootcamp and then use parallels with it later.  Could having already used the disk be the problem?)
    Thanks for reading my problem

    Maybe this can help
    I have been trying to make a partition lately for windoes 8.1
    I have OSK Mavericks and I tried both using bootcamp to make a partition and then I tried using disk utility to make a partition.  I have looked up how to fix it such as verifying the disk or verifying the disk on the repair drive. I have also tried typing in that command in the Command+S startup.
    (Btw the first time I tried partitioning through Bootcamp it was working but then I ejected my usb as it was making the partition and it gave me an error.  Partitioning has been giving me errors ever sense that.)

  • Disk Utility Weirdness-Erasure Failure & Errors

    Hi all,
    I have been using Tiger Disk Utility for Disk Maintenance (Verify Disk and Repair Permissions), and as a backup solution using the "Restore" Tab.
    I have had a pack of very weird behaviors the last few days when I tried to back up my internal Disk Partitions to my External FW Disk Partitions. It's making me crazier than normal.
    First I was getting a Restore Error-no such file or directory. On two different computers with X.4.10. That never used to happen.
    Then I got a situation where I wanted to erase the targeted partition using the erase button. After the erase...the disk partition looks empty in the Finder View, but in the Disk Utilty Info view it has not been erased. When I try to do a restore to it (which I have been doing for years without trouble) it fails because there is not enough room on the disk. I tried zeroing it out, but that didn't help to really erase it as far as Disk Utility is concerned. If I select Erase Destination, that appears to be a work around, but why is this happening all of a sudden.
    Anybody have any idea what's up with this?
    Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

    And I forgot to add that I've also received the error "Invalid Argument."
    If I erase the disk and zero it out before partitioning, it seems to function better.
    Can someone explain what is going on if I "Skip Checksum?"
    Thanks, and so long for now, TOM
