Can somebody help me ?
What I have is a cube being reconstructed and reloaded (no data incremental updates) each night. There is a base dimension called 'Products' and an unknown number of boolean attribute dimensions associated with it say 'T1', 'T2'... 'Tn' defined in a file being also updated every night. I also have another file with the member associations.
The requirement is that all those attribute dimensions should be build dynamically each night. I start with a VB application deleting all the previous (last night's) attributes dimensions during the cube construction and rebuild them from scratch.
I would have accomplish it through the VB API if I didnot have that ESB_ERROR_ILLEGALDEFALIAS error which I cannot overcome. I get this error when trying to verify the outline.
Any suggestions, comments, tips or tricks are welcome.. not to mention a solution !
This is a part of the code:
With MbrInfo
.usConsolidation = ESB_UCALC_NOOP 'ESB_UCALC_MULT
.fTwoPass = ESB_FALSE
.fExpense = ESB_FALSE
.usConversion = ESB_CONV_NONE
.usTimeBalance = ESB_TIMEBAL_NONE
.usSkip = ESB_SKIP_NONE
.usShare = ESB_SHARE_DYNCALCNOSTORE
.usStorage = ESB_DIMTYPE_SPARSE
.usCategory = ESB_CAT_ATTRIBUTE
.usStorageCategory = ESB_STORECAT_ATTRIBUTE
.Attribute = ESB_ATTRMBRDT_BOOL
.szMember = DimName
End With
sts = EsbOtlAddDimension(hOutline, MbrInfo, lastDim, ESB_NULL, hNewDim)
If sts = 0 Then
frmAppDb.lstMessages.AddItem ("Dimension " & DimName & " successfully added")
Else
frmAppDb.lstMessages.AddItem ("Failed to add Dimension " & DimName & " Reason: " & checkForError(sts))
End If
If sts <> 0 Then Exit Sub
If ESB_OtlVerify Then saveOutline 'saveOutline=EsbOtlWriteOutline and EsbOtlRestructure
Esb_CloseOutline
