SYMPTOMS
If you try to perform a writeback operation on a cell that
you do not have permission to write to, a delay of approximately 60 seconds
occurs, and then the connection to the server disconnects. Depending on the
client-side tool, the error message varies. For example, you receive the
following error message if you are using ActiveX Data Objects
(Multidimensional) (ADO MD) to perform the writeback operation:
-2147168234
Connection to the server is
lost
Note This problem only occurs if you do not have the required
permissions to write to the cell. Additionally, the problem does not occur if
you are a member of the OLAP Administrators group (even if that group does not
have permission to write back to the cube).
