TI Error Never Seen Before

[jim wood]

Guys,

I have tried to run a simple data load process from an export file. There are no calcs within the process, just simple mapping to a cube. The process stops without generating an error file. I have looked in the server log and I get the following:

35 ERROR 2008-06-03 10:04:42,051 TM1.Process Process "99 temp distribution load after rebuild": System stack overflow, process terminated

Very strange.

I am running TM1 9.1 SP3,

Jim.

Answering my own question. (How sad)

I found that the issue was related to a rule in the target cube. It had circular reference within it. Once I removed it the process worked first time. It is however a bit strange (And not helpful) that no log file is produced.

One for the notes me thinks. I will also raise this with Cognos,

Jim.

had similar issues myself, try rebuilding a dimension with a TI and not having an element in the new structure that is used in the rules. Result - TI failure and completely empty dimension

Ouch, I will definately bare thate one in mind as we recreate a dimension each week.

Jim,
when refrehing your dimensions, never delete N-elements! It's a source of many errors. Just do a simple check on the level in TI.

Cheers,

Not always possible tho, in one case i have to import 5 seperate files from a different system to create one super dimension, and whether you like it or not that only works by deleting everything and starting again. I do have a little redundancy in it tho, it does all the nasty stuff on a dummy dim first then only when it thinks it's happy does it recreate the real dimension. That way if it fails its only the dummy that's ruined, never the real one
