Remarks

Referential integrity errors occur when a foreign key value in a dependent table does not have a corresponding entry in the parent table. This error occurs when Analysis Services processes a dimension in which the fact table references a foreign key value that does not exist in the dimension table for that dimension, or when Analysis Services processes a partition when the dimension main table for a dimension that is included in the partition references a key value that does not exist in another associated dimension table. (In the case of dimensions with parent-child hierarchies and parent attributes, this can also occur when the dimension main table for a dimension that is included in the partition references a key value that does not exist in the same dimension table.)

The value of this element is limited to one of the strings in the following table.

Value Description

IgnoreError

Processing should ignore the error and continue.

ReportAndContinue

Processing should report the error and continue.

ReportAndStop

Processing should report the error and stop.

The enumeration that corresponds to the allowed values for KeyNotFound in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is ErrorOption.
