Running AS 2000, SP4.
A couple of times while querying a cube, one member has got the wrong data displayad (the value are to low).
No matter if I reload the query afterwards, restarting the query application etc, the same faulty value still gets displayed for that member.
After I restart analysis services the value is correct again. No other changes, exact the same query etc.
While analysing the event viewer I see that analysises services has run out of memory before this strange behaviour (MSSQLServerOLAPService - "The server is out of memory").
Could this out-of-memory error has caused the wrong value to be returned, and the somehow the value has got cached on the analysis server so it's not fixed until the server has restarted?
This is the only theory I have, and it's important to figure out the cause. Users are getting worried if they can't trust the data.
The server is dedicated to analysis services and has 3GB memory and /3GB switch enabled. Memory conservation treshold is 2700mb and Minimum allocated memory is set to 1536mb.
The query tool is an asp-application using ADOMD, but the same faulty value was returned while trying the query in MDX Sample App.
First of all try installing SP4 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8E2DFC8D-C20E-4446-99A9-B7F0213F8BC5
