For a dimension build rules file to validate, all of the following questions must be answered “yes.”
Is the rules file associated with the correct outline?
See “Validating Rules Files” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
Does each record contain only one member from each dimension?
Are all members enclosed in quotation marks if they contain numbers or file delimiters?
See Valid Member Fields.
Do all dimension names exist in the outline or the rules file?
Are any dimensions specified in both the header record in the rules file and the header record in the data source?
Dimensions can be specified in either the header in the rules file or the header in the data source, but not in both. See Defining Header Records.
