CUBE processing
Hi – I made some changes to CUBE and started the processing. Ideally it should not take more than 2 hrs to process. But, it is under processing even after 15 hrs without any success/failure message. Can someone tell me what could be the Problem? –Rajendar E.ok
1>Open connection to Analysis server profiler and look for the queries.
2>Also open performance monitor and look whether as is doing any read or write activities on hard disks.
3>Also check in task manager whether msmdsrv.exe is consuming any processing power. Otherwise you can stop the processing task in between by restarting the as services.
run sp_updatestats on OLTP db and rerun the processing with all above traces connected.
Have you observed any errors or warning in SQL error log?
Also are you running any specific DISTINCT user measure on thsi cube? Satya SKJ

The following message is logged in SQL log: "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 3 is not synchronized with other CPUs." Apart from above I didn’t see any message in logs. One more thing, If I process the changed measuregroup partition alone, it is getting processed successfully, but, If I do the Full Processing of CUBE it keep continuing as I described above: Thanks ok

I am not running any DISTINCT measure. Only thing I did is added one new column to the fact table and made the Regular relationship between fact and dimension.

Fyi on the error message:http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/archiv…e-error-log-related-to-timing-activities.aspx though it talks about SQL 2005, check whether the hardware matches to it. KBAhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/931279 fyi. Satya SKJ

I ran the below command and processed the cube.
exec sp_configure ‘affinity mask’, 0x00000003
GO
reconfigure
GO
Now, new problem begins

I have sqlserver Servicepack2 installed in my machine.
Pls let me know the work around for it.
Thanks
What is the connection string you use in your data source?
What is provider you are using? Have you tried testing connection?
I would guess the problem you are having issues that might be related to some network issues with your network.
Test connection is successful. And more over CUBE is getting processed for dimensions and the issue is coming when it processing the measures
thanks
You should check the network related issues too in addition to local SQL resource management such as memory & disks.
I would guess the problem you are having might be related to some network issues with your network.
Hi, i received the same error but when my SSAS was processing the last partition on my cube does not matter the order, another issue is that i have my relational engine and SSAS in the same machine, then i have to discard network problems…
Now, if i send that partitions alone, everything it’s ok…
Some ideas?
I have a SAN with 1TB of free space, and my cube is not bigger that 1/4TB, 2 QuadCore procs and 16 GB RAM

Welcome to the forums.
Did you check SQL error log f& event viewer log or any other hardware or software related errors?
What is the service pack level on sQL Server?
