I encountered a strange situation last fortnight. There is a input template on web where the Business Users log in & punch-in data (Price per ton). The web sheet has dbrw functions to write the data in corresponding cube.
Now, one of the users logged in & punched in some data for specific slice. (Initially, the template is already pre-filled with some data).
For example on Oct 5, he keys in 2950 where initially it was 2985, rebuilds the sheet & he gets all other further calculation on the sheet. He then logs off. Done.
A week later (Oct 12) when he extracts the report, he was astonished to see the same old numbers i.e. 2985 instead of 2950!!! So he again input 2950 in the place of 2985.
We investigated into transaction logs, shockingly there is a log that says there was a transaction where the OLD VALUE was 2985 & it was changed to NEW VALUE: 2950. We got two lines that say
Code: Select all
Oct 05: OLD VALUE=2985 : NEW VALUE=2950 : <same slice & cell of the cube>
Oct 12: OLD VALUE=2985 : NEW VALUE=2950 : <same slice & cell of the cube>
This is a real strange situation. Has anybody experienced this? Any guess?
Thanks
