Problem Note 19314: Use of global MDX String functions could halt the SAS® OLAP Server
 |  |  |  |  |
When using MDX functions such as STRTOSET or STRTOVALUE within a global calculated member, your SAS OLAP Server could stop running.
You might also receive an error such as:
An OLAP server thread has failed.
The only circumvention is to not use the MDX string functions in a global or session-level calculated member.
