RE: Cube process does not find dimension key

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello Fergus,

I understand that the error "A member with key '<value>' was found in the
fact table but was not found in level '<level>' of the dimension
'<dimension>'" appears though the related rows in fact table are not new.
You could reporcess the cube to work around the issue.

As you know, this problem usually occurs because a dimension key was added
to the fact table, but the dimension key was not added to the dimension.
However, it does not seem to be the cause of your situation.

I still suggest that you try to add an Incrementally process of the related
dimension before the cube process to test though it is supposed to be
included.

Also, I once saw similar issues when there are memory issues on AS server.
You may want to check the memory status of the issue to see if msmdsrv.exe
uses too much memory when the issue occurs. If so, you may try to move some
cubes/databases to different servers, or consider add more physical memory
to the server.

There is a known issue that in Analysis Services SP3, the connections to
Analysis Services services are blocked when the memory that the msmdsrv
process uses exceeds 112.5 percent of the memory conservation threshold
value ( HighMemoryLimit ).
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823357

Therefore, it's suggested increasing the "Memory Conservation Threshold" to
2G and see if the problem still occurs. We need to restart
SSQLServerOLAPServices to make the change take effect.

Though it does not seem to be a procssing timout issue, you may refer to
the following articles to set timeout value for server to test

In addition, please enable logging of processing message in server
properties page, and you may be able to find more clues for the issues.

Since the issue occurs randomly and might be related to performance, it can
be difficult to troubleshoot and resolve in a newsgroup setting due to the
number of variables and the amount of time required to narrow down possible
causes and observe the effects. We will assist as best as we can, but you
may wish to consider contacting CSS for a more timely resolution for these
type issues.

To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
