SYMPTOMS

When you run Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) queries in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, real-time updates that are made on Relational Online Analytical Process (ROLAP) partitions may not be reflected in the query results. This problem may occur when the following conditions are true:
  • Analysis Services uses a data cube that contains one or more partitions.
  • These partitions use ROLAP storage.
  • Real-time updates are enabled on these ROLAP partitions.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when Analysis Services incorrectly processes notification events on the ROLAP partitions.
