= FIX: Error message when you run an MDX query that retrieves data from an Analysis Services database: &quot;An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of ' ', Name of ' ' was being processed.

In the Teradata database, you receive the following error message:

[Teradata Database] [3939] There is a mismatch between the number of parameters specified and the number of parameters required.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the Teradata .NET provider cannot process the parameter that is generated by Analysis Services. When the MDX query retrieves data from a ROLAP partition, Analysis Services may generate parameterized SQL queries to retrieve data. If the relational data source is a Teradata database and the data source uses the Teradata .NET provider to connect to the Teradata database, the parameter marker is generated as &quot;@PARAM .&quot; The Teradata .NET provider cannot process parameter markers that have this syntax.

Note The placeholder  represents a number.
