DBAs, Network administrators

Suggested solutions

  1. Do a Process Data and Process Index separately instead of a Process Full, as it reduces the stress on the server
  2. When creating hierarchies, you should make as many of them natural as possible
  3. Reduce the number of attributes in the dimensions
  4. You must ensure that the processing query that populates the temporary partition does not duplicate any data already present in an existing partition
