BUG #: 3823 (plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
When a cube or dimension is processed using the DTS Addin and the processing fails for some reason, the error message that displays is incorrect.

An operating system error message displays instead of the Decision Support Object (DSO) error message. For example, if the program should fail with the following 206 error:

Process operation failed.

the following operating system 206 error displays instead:

The filename or extension is too long.

Similarly, the following 207 error:

Internal error.

displays as:

The ring 2 stack is in use.



WORKAROUND
Refer to the table in the More Information section to find out the actual error message and troubleshoot the problem accordingly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 7.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

254561 INF: How to Obtain Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) 1.0

For more information, contact your primary support provider.



MORE INFORMATION
The following table lists some of the possible error messages from the Data Transformation Services (DTS) Addin and the corresponding correct error message. This may help you to identify the true error when your processing fails.

Note that most of the preceding error messages have a second part, which are shown correctly and can help you find the root cause of the problem. For example, when you get error 207, you would see an error like:

The ring 2 stack is in use, Server initializing Dimension 'Product' (final)

instead of:

Internal error, Server initializing Dimension 'Product' (final))

And when you see error 231, it will be:

All pipe instances are busy

Invalid object name 'Store';42S02
