Problem processing cubes in example Adventure Works DW

Hi,

I've installed the sample databases, and I am trying to process the cubes in the sample.

I keep getting errors like this, for cube "adventure Works":

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found: Table: dbo_DimCustomer, Column: AddressLine1, Value: 8011 Mcnutt Ave. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The record was skipped because the attribute key was not found. Attribute: Customer of Dimension: Customer from Database: Adventure Works DW, Record: 1024.

I have set processing to ignore errors, but the cube is never successfully processed.

What can I do to get the cube processed?

Hi John,

Could you please check that you have installed the right AdventureWorksDW relational DB, and that your AdventureWorksDW AS DB's datasource points to it.

Yan,

The "Adventure Works DW" AS DB datasource points to the "AdventureWorksDW" database installed as sample (on the same machine), going by the connection string.

How can I check that I have the "right" AdventureWorksDW?

John,

If you installed the sample Adventure Works DW successfully, and verified that the relational DB is also installed and no records in it were removed, the processing should work.

I've fixed the problem. I had SS 2000 installed as my default instance and 2005 as a named instance and it appears that was the source of the problem. I've had to uninstall both, then reinstall only 2005, but the sample is now working.
