Re: AS2005 Parallel partition processing and Quota KB parameter



I read here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914595/ that SSAS incorrectly
estimates the memory required for processing dimensions. This could be the
case for processing measure groups as well. This would explain why SSAS is
asking for 22Gigs but your memory usage never exceeds 10Gigs...just a
hypothesis...

In any case, where can you view the "Quota KB" parameter? I am running into
errors where SSAS is asking for 17 Gigs to process a partition when I only
have 13 Gigs available. I am trying to determine the impact of removing
partitions on this memory quota estimate.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

have you try to force the number of parrallel process?
i have some partitions in my cubes, and everything is evaluated in parrallel
with the default options.

So... I can't help you more.
you have nothing wrong from my point of view.

how many CPU have you?
do you use the lazy aggregation option?

AS2005 x64:
When doing parallel processing of my partitions I've noticed that
AS2005 reads data from the source in parallel however when it switches
to the Aggregate phase it is doing it one by one and not in parallel. I
have 32GB of memory and my memory usage is below 10GB all the time
during processing, however "Quota KB" parameter is showing that AS is
asking for 22GB therefore blocking all but one Aggregation process.
Anybody knows why there is such a discrepancy and what can be done
about it?

Thanks!
