TR2506

An apex action cannot be done with special categories.

This error typically appears in the log file in response to an action requested by an MDL script. Under normal circumstances, the Windows interface does not allow you to perform exclude, summarize, or cloak actions on special categories in a dimension view.

Procedure

If you encounter this error, ensure that the category object identifier that you specified in the CatUpdate or CatMake statement does not refer to a special category.

You can find object identifiers in the .mdl file. For more information, see the Cognos® Transformer Developer Guide.
