This knowledge base article explains the metadata inconsistent issue which occurs due to an incorrect definition of an attribute.

When attempting to update the schema in Strategy Desktop, users receive the following error message:
 
"Error(s) occurred while loading schema: DSSQLEngine: Schema loading error: Population Exception: The Object shown in the following hierarchy no longer exists in schema: -Dimension/Hierarchy-Attribute Form The object definition is incomplete or inconsistent"
 
CAUSE:
This issue is caused due to a metadata inconsistency that may have been introduced because of an incorrect attribute definition in the schema.
 
ACTION:
Running ScanMD may fix the metadata inconsistency. 
Download the newest version of ScanMD (KB35809) and follow the steps detailed in the KB to run the common tests successfully and fix the errors that are found.
In order to track down the cause of the inconsistency, customers encountering this issue should make note of Schema-related changes, Object Migrations or error messages prior to experiencing the problem. Change Journaling, if enabled, can help in preserving this information.
