I have a production cube that has been working well for some time. Now, when I browse the cube using our custom front end, I immediately get this error:
"Exception type: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException
Exception message: XML for Analysis parser: The XML for Analysis request timed out before it was completed. "
When I right-click on the cube in SSMS and select Browse, the OLAP control appears with all of the meta data. When I click a dimension to expand it, it waits for about 30-60 seconds and finally displays some of the dimension attributes and hierarchies and
the last line under the dimension says:
"Error occurred retrieving named sets: XML for Analysis parser: The XML for Analysis request timed out before it was completed"
When I browse the same cube in BIDS, I get the same wait when I expand a dimension, but it eventually appears and works fine. All queries against the cube work without problems and execute in less than a second. Other cubes on the same server work without any of these problems.
I have tried various time out settings on the SSMS connection, but that does not seem to have any impact. We have also restarted the SSAS service, rebooted the server, and deleted and rebuilt the cube. SQL Profiler only shows the same timeout error message.
Does anybody have any ideas?
