strange behavior from Analysis service

  • Hi all,

    so I am new to the company and working on this package that builds cubes.

    SQL Job constantly fails with Executed as user: (user name). The step failed.

    opened actual package and was able to drill down to tasks where it fails Analysis Services processing tasks that processes dimensions.

    so If i run the single task it fails with unhanded exception error (no details)

    but, if I restart Analysis services first and then run tasks in completed fine.

    After, I initiate second task, fails with same error, restart services, works fine. and so on.

    One more thing, if i try to backup OLAP db before restart I am getting same error (unhanded exception), it disappears after restart and reappears after each failed task.

    Please suggest something. I am not too familiar with redeployment option. Maybe?

    Thank you in advance

  • This is an off the wall suggestion, but does the server have enought memory? Also, it would be nice to see the entire text of the error.

  • 64-bit, 32GB RAM

    The error is in SQL Job history and I understand its meaningless. Also, it shows in job history with Exclamation point, not the red cross. When i expand, I can see 3 steps, second one shows failed

    Message

    Executed as user: domain\User. The step failed.

    and this is from the log:
