I just added two years of data to a cube. This should have added 700 new members to the PeriodEndDate dimension. And yet when i did a Process Full, only the Fact tables processed. None of the dimensions processed. Can you guys think of any reason why this would be?

Incremental data that adds new dimension members isn't causing those dimensions to be processed, except when the cube has just been created without data. Is this correct behavior?

have you set the relationships with dimensions correctly?

I have the same problem - sometimes my cube fails because of addition of new values to Dim table. If I process that Dim manually, cube's full process succeeds. What is amiss?

I hope that here is the solution - for full process (with DIMS) you must choose database full process (not cube full process, as I did), for manuall run from BIDS - process the whole project, not cube
