BUG #: 12775 (plato7X)



SYMPTOMS
When you run queries from an Analysis Services client application, the queries fail with this error message:

Unable to open cellset

Cannot connect to the server 'ServerName'. The server is either not started or too busy.

The following event is also written to the Application Event Log on the Analysis Server at approximately the same time that the error message occurs on the client:

Unexpected fatal error occurred. Attempting to restart server.

This problem occurs when the query includes a dimension, which has dimension level security defined and the query is resolved by Analysis Server instead of using the client side cache.
