I am reproducing some common errors, both from the USL logs and the Application Event logs to assist with troubleshooting cube building issues. These are in a sort of order that follows my previous article – so first I will give a description of the problem and the errors you will see. Note that the same Application Event log can appear for multiple failure modes (1 to 3 listed below all have the same error in the application event log) – but the ULS logs tend to be more indicative of the real problem. Another common error I have not listed and potentially the first you will see is “ActiveX component can’t create object” which is usually related to missing components detailed in KB921116.
So here are the 5 errors:-
1. SSPAdmin is not an admin in Analysis Services

2. If you don’t restart the Analysis Server service after adding the SSPAdmin as an admin then you may see:-

3. If the SSPAdmin does not have access to the repository for Analysis Services then you will see the following. This was on a single server – you may see MSOLAPRepository$ rather than the full path.
