SQL Server Analysis Services

Details:

This error typically occurs when attempting to perform an action on a database, cube, or dimension that is not in a state that allows such an operation. For example, trying to modify a read-only database or execute a query on an inactive process.

Troubleshooting:

Ensure that the Analysis Services object is in the correct state for the intended operation. Check the current status of the database or object. Verify that you have the necessary permissions.

Details:

This error indicates that the object name or identifier provided does not exist within the Analysis Services instance or the specified database.

Troubleshooting:

Verify the spelling and case sensitivity of the object name. Ensure that the object has been created and deployed correctly. Check the scope of the object (e.g., if it exists within the expected database or schema).

Details:

This error signifies a problem with the network connection or server availability. It could be due to the server being offline, network issues, or incorrect connection string parameters.

Troubleshooting:

Check if the Analysis Services service is running. Verify network connectivity between the client and the server. Ensure the server name, instance name, and port are correctly specified in the connection string. Firewall rules might also be a factor.

Details:

Analysis Services uses a role-based security model. This error occurs when the authenticated user is not a member of a role that grants the required permissions.

Troubleshooting:

Verify that the user account is assigned to appropriate roles within the Analysis Services database. Check the permissions granted to those roles. Ensure the user is logging in with the correct credentials.

Details:

This error is raised when input parameters do not meet the expected format, type, or constraints. This can happen with MDX queries, DAX expressions, or API calls.

Troubleshooting:

Review the parameters being passed to the Analysis Services operation. Ensure they conform to the expected data types and formats. Check for syntax errors in any provided MDX or DAX statements.

Details:

This is a general error for issues encountered while processing a query. It could be due to syntax errors, semantic issues, or problems with data retrieval.

Troubleshooting:

Examine the query text for any syntax errors. Ensure that the referenced objects (cubes, measures, dimensions, attributes) exist and are correctly specified. Check for data type mismatches or logical inconsistencies within the query.

Details:

This error occurs when an operation takes longer than the configured timeout period. This can be due to complex queries, large datasets, or system resource contention.

Troubleshooting:

Optimize the query or operation for better performance. Increase the timeout settings if appropriate, but understand the implications. Check server resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk I/O) and investigate potential bottlenecks.

Details:

This error relates to issues encountered during data synchronization or processing of cube partitions, measures, or dimensions. It often points to problems with the underlying data source or ETL process.

Troubleshooting:

Review the SQL Server Agent job history for the associated processing task. Examine the data source and the ETL packages used for data loading. Check for data integrity issues in the source system.

Details:

This error occurs when attempting to set a property on an Analysis Services object to a value that is not permitted or does not conform to the property's definition.

Troubleshooting:

Consult the documentation for the specific property being modified. Ensure that the value being set is of the correct data type and within the acceptable range or set of options.

Details:

This error suggests a corruption or mismatch in the internal structure or definitions of Analysis Services objects. It can sometimes occur after unexpected server shutdowns or interrupted operations.

Troubleshooting:

Try to reprocess the affected database or specific objects. If the issue persists, consider restoring from a backup. Running integrity checks on the Analysis Services instance might also be necessary.
