Hi all,

Trying to deploy to our Dev env I am getting this error message (apologies for length).

Error 1 Errors in the metadata manager. The 'd:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Data\' storage location of the FACT Month End Stock CURRENT partition does not exist, is too long, or contains characters that are not valid or are reserved.

I suspect that the path length is the problem.

I guess I need to set the properties of the Analysis Server to something like 'D:\DEV' and see if that works but I was hoping someone here might have an eureka moment.

TIA.

Okay I scripted the deployment out and did a search on the path it was trying to use.

It was right it doesnt exist :-)

It is trying to deploy a partitioned cube with this <Stroagelocation>d:\program files.....</StorageLocation>

Looks like this tag only exists for partitioned cubes.

I guess I could manually change it in the xmla script but anyone know where I can change it in BIDS ?
