The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)

This article was previously published under Q298689

BUG #: 353237 (SHILOH_BUGS) BUG #: 11987 (Plato7.x)

SYMPTOMS

Analysis Server may stop and then restart when you browse cube data if the underlying data source is SQL Server and the data access is performed by using the OLE DB provider for SQL Server. Therefore, cube browsing from the cube browser may fail.

CAUSE

When the query that is generated by Analysis Manager is too large, the SQL Server provider returns success for the status of the query and NULL for the pointer. The NULL value for the pointer causes Analysis Services to stop and then restart.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (the Analysis Services Components - Sql2kasp1.exe). For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services version 8.0. This problem was first corrected in the Analysis Services Components of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1.

MORE INFORMATION

Please note that to resolve this problem, you must apply Service Pack 1 for both SQL Server 2000 and Analysis Services 2000.
