I am trying to write a C# backend program that will handle the database maintenance that I would otherwise have to do via Microsoft's Analysis Services front end GUI Wizards. Currently I am having a problem with recreating the SliceValue. The value is a time dimension and should equate to [Monthly Dates].[Year].[Quarter].[Month] and instead it is these same values, but instead of being seperated by periods it has some sort of non-displayable character (maybe a newline) that is placing each value on a new line. The error I receive when I attempt to process the partition is as follows:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in ProcessCubes.exe
Additional information: Processing error [Object does not exist] '[All]
[2003]
[Quarter 2]
[May]'
The code is below.
Please help me, I'm a desparate man!
