SYMPTOM:
The error "the path specified is invalid" is seen when trying to use data import against an MDX cube with certain measure folder structures in Strategy 10. This is only seen when the MDX cube has measures which have no associates measure group.
(The path \\measure path is invalid specified for Metric Group / Display Folder expansion
The path %1 is invalid specified for Metric Group / Display Folder expansion)
CAUSE:This is a known issue with Strategy 10.
WORKAROUND: The only current workaround requires editing the database cube to add in measure groups. To do so follow the below steps.
Step 1. Edit the cube using database tools.
Step 2. Choose a calculation member, in the Additional Properties, choose a valid measure group in ‘Associated measure group’ instead of undefined.
Step 3. Redo step 2 for all the calculation members.
Step 4. Rebuild and deploy the cube.
Step 5. Re-import the cube in MSTR WEB.
The Strategy Internal Reference Number for the issue discussed in this technical note is DE29088.
