Problem Note 14352: Data inaccuracy in ARM log when cache on and data_query enabled

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
In the initial 9.1.3 OLAP hot fix and as well as 9.1.3 Service Pack 1,
data caching was enhanced to allow for the caching of sparse data. If
you have this fix installed on your SAS OLAP Server, have data caching
enabled, and are using ARM (Application Response Monitoring) logging,
you may receive inaccurate records reported to the ARM log. It appears
that not all records processed by the sparse data cache are being
written to the ARM log.

While this will not affect the integrity of your OLAP cube data, it
could lead OLAP Administrators into making the wrong decisions in tuning
their cube. This could affect performance when the cube is queried.


A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:

For customers running SAS with Asian Language Support (DBCS), this
fix should be downloaded from:
