Hi All,
We are currently experiencing a rather frustrating error with the 64 bit
Analysis Services software when running processes in parallel. Just in
case anyone is wondering the version of the Analysis Services executable is
8.0.760.0 .

We have 3 cubes with each cube containing 48 partitions.

Whenever we attempt to process all three cubes in their entirety, running
around 3-4 partitions concurrently we are experiencing a locking error of
sorts. Below is the extract from the log file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The machine has plenty of disk
spaces and memory resources are more than adequate at the time of the error.

Thanks in advance!!
