Problem Note 42051: Error on cube build if the SAS® environment used to create the cube is different than the session used to update the cube
 |  |  |  |
When attempting to update an OLAP cube, you could receive an error like the following:
ERROR: An error occurred when accessing the cube GENMETA file.
ERROR: The physical cube cannot be deleted.
This error could mean that the user has attempted to access a cube with a host vector incompatible with the current SAS session.
Examples of when this error might occur are:
- a UTF-8 (DBCS) cube being accessed with an ASCII (SBCS) SAS session
- a cube being accessed was created on a different operating system
You must be consistent with the SAS environment that is used to create and update OLAP cubes.
