CAUSE
This may occur in either of the following two situations:
 * Web logs are imported that contain hits that were made by users that have not yet been imported into the data warehouse. This occurs in situations in which the Web Log Import DTS task is run before the User Profile Data Import DTS task.

RESOLUTION
Verify that the User Profile Data Import DTS task is completed prior to the Web Log Import DTS task.



STATUS

 * Method 1
 * Shop a Commerce Server site by registering as a user and making a purchase.
