We are currently trialling SAP Business Objects, Analysis for OLAP and we are seeing errors when adding dimensions to a crosstab in Analysis for OLAP. So we are accessing Oracle OLAP cubes in Analysis for OLAP using the Simba MDX Provider and seeing a number of stability issues.
Is anyone out there also doing this? Have you encountered issues with this set-up and can provide some guidance on configuration, administration and settings for SAP using Oracle OLAP? It seems like the integration between SAP MDAS and Simba is generating errors.
We have the latest SAP Business Objects (4.1, SP04) installed and tracing turned on high for both the APS (MDAS) and Simba MDX Provider and I have read all the documentation I can find, and searched the SCN for similar threads but found nothing.
Here are some examples from the APS trace files:
com.businessobjects.framework.services.mdas.MDASInterceptor||calling [QueryServant] method [getRepresentation(ViewSpec)] message [Failed to get representation: RuntimeException occurred]
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.businessobjects.multidimensional.data.result.Cell.getDataType() of a null object loaded from local variable 'cell'

java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.businessobjects.multidimensional.data.result.Tuple.getMemberCursor() of a null object loaded from local variable 'tuple'
If anyone knows any threads related to our configuration, please share. Thanks.
