To prevent this error, rename the cube to use English characters, and remove native characters from the cube name. Another option is to use UTF-8 characters for Simplified Chinese (GB2312) code points when you create the data source connection. These characters will appear incorrectly in the IBM Cognos Analytics portal, however, the connection will work correctly.
