BUG #: 13628 (Plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
When you try to archive an Analysis Services database that contains a large number of data files (greater than 32 KB), the archive fails. The archive log will have the following messages:

Archiving database from server . Saving repository. Creating .cab File:  Overflow Cabarc.exe failed.



CAUSE
The Analysis Services archive utility stores the file count in a signed integer value that results in a maximum file count of 32,767. In heavily partitioned implementations of Analysis Services, it is possible for the number of files to be greater than the 32 KB limitation.
