FIX: In BizTalk Server 2006, the AVG measure does not appear as expected in the PivotTable control on the BAM portal (920122)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, you create a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) view.
In the BAM view, you define a measure that uses the Sum (SUM) aggregation type for an alias.
In the BAM view, you define a measure that uses the Average (AVG) aggregation type for the same alias.
You use real-time aggregation in the BAM spreadsheet.

In this scenario, the AVG measure does not appear as expected in the PivotTable control on the BAM portal.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the wrong member name is used for the AVG measure in the CREATE CUBE statement when the BAM view is defined. For example, the CREATE CUBE statement may resemble the following when the BAM view is defined.

COMMAND (CREATE MEMBER [Order Transmission].[Measures].[AvgOrderAmount] AS '[Measures].[Total Order Amount] / [Measures].[_Count]'),

The name of the local cube is always RTACube. Therefore, the CREATE CUBE statement should resemble the following when the BAM view is defined.

COMMAND (CREATE MEMBER [RTACube].[Measures].[AvgOrderAmount] AS '[Measures].[Total Order Amount] / [Measures].[_Count]'),
