TR1903

Incremental update of cube_name cannot proceed because of the status_name status of an existing PowerCube.

Cognos® Transformer has detected a condition that prevents it from proceeding with an incremental update to a PowerCube.

For example, if you try to incrementally update a PowerCube while the cube is being viewed in a reporting component, the update may fail and the cube status may be reset to FAILED. If you then attempt to recreate the cube, Cognos Transformer will not allow the operation because the cube may already contain some of the data from the most recent increment. Reprocessing that increment could result in some data being added to the cube twice.

Procedure

To resolve the problem, do one of the following:
  • Revert to a backup copy of the model and its PowerCubes, saved prior to processing the most recent increment, and retry. When you see a second warning indicating that the time stamps on the PowerCube and model do not match, proceed with the update, accepting the risk that you might thereby duplicate some of the cube data.
  • Adopt the existing cube and rerun the incremental update, having first confirmed that, if the cube was open in another component, its data has not changed.
  • Rebuild your cube using the combined data from all increments.

After you resolve the problem, you can proceed with new increments in the normal way.
