Detect and Passing measure name in Action

Is there a way when launching action to call a URL, I can pass the name of the measure select by users?

We have a cube with multiple measures (included calculated member measures), when a user select a cell under measure A, I need to pass the name A to the URL to ASP.NET application. Similarly, when a user click measure B cell to fire up action, I need to pass measuer name B on URL the the web applicatoin.

Currently, I can pass dimension CurrentMember w/o problem, is there a similar measure CurrentMember function I can use?

Thanks!

CurrentMember should work on the Measures dimension in exactly the same way as on other dimensions, so by using something like Measures.CurrentMember.Name you should be able to get hold of the name of the current measure. Using the UrlEscapeFragment function (see http://cwebbbi.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7B84B0F2C239489A!517.entry) will get rid of any url-unfriendly characters.

Designing Aggregations

I have a fairly large partition (100M rows, 30 measures) and am attempting to create aggregations through the Aggregation Design Wizard. Regardless of the option I select, either percent or file size, the wizard always completes after designing only about 50 aggregtions for 0% and only 200kb. I cannot believe that to be right. On a much smaller partition I created about 600 aggregations to 30% for 2GB.

I've double checked to ensure I have all of my dimension attribute relationships defined.

Any ideas why I cannot get the large partition to build the aggregations or why it completes after building about 50? I have plenty of disk space and and cube processing time is not an issue, so I would like to create up to 25-30GB of aggregations.

Thanks

Have you established your attribute relationships?

WIthout them the system does not know that natural hierarchies may be available and by default it only creates aggregations along natural hierarchies.

Thanks Dave, but I have established the attribute relationships. What confuses me is that the wizard shows that it will create about 250 aggregations, 0%, 125kb. I use the option to manually stop the aggregation design (but never do. I let if finish on its own) and it always comes out roughly the same.

When I process the partition I can see that the aggregations are being created. When I look in the file system I see a bunch of .tmp files being created (e.g. AggMerge_5800_54_8s64d_28.tmp), all of them for about 1.5GB. I eventually run out of space on the drive and the processing fails.

All together these .tmp files take about 150GB. The source database is only about 200GB.

Any thoughts? Ideas? The aggregation design wizard tells me the aggregations will take up about 125kb, but the .tmp files tell me something different.

Design Aggregation Problem

I have some problem. design aggregation cannot be made on several cubes that have a lot of data, and

have a lot of measures and dimension (the number of fields in the table more or

less 150 fields). They return 0% optimization level when we run design

aggregation.

This link have been published a few posts down but I repeat it here again. This is a good guide of how to create good aggregations: http://cwebbbi.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7B84B0F2C239489A!907.entry
