    Hello,

    My Excel Reports (Project Server 2010) worked fine for several months but today I get this error message when I'm trying to add any field in a report:

    "File system error: The following file is damged : physical file: \\?\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server \ MSAS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Data\Gal_Cube.0.db\Fiscal Time.0.dm\1.Fiscal Day attribute.Fiscal Day attribute.ostore".

    NB1 : Gal_Cube is an OLAP DB of mine.

    NB2 : I don't use fiscal time on this server.

    What can be the source of the issue?

    Thanks

    PS: I cannot create any new Excel Report : I get exactly the same error

    Hi there,

    If you still have the VM...

    Sounds like there is a file system corruption within that cube DB folder. Is this Gal_Cube a default OOTB Project Server OLAP cube? If so, try deleting the Gal_Cube from SQL AS server (load SQL Management Studio, connect to SQL Analysis Services, expand databases and right click on Gal_Cube and click delete). Then open windows explorer on the SQL Server and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Data and delete the Gal_Cube.0.db folder. Now test your other cube builds / excel reports that use other cubes. If the Gal_Cube cube is still required, navigate to the PWA instance, Server Settings, Olap database, select the cube and build now.

    Thanks

    Paul

    I cannot create any new OLAP database : the same OLAP db "Gal_Cube" is boring me and the same Fiscal Time too:

    Eventually, I deleted the VM running Project Server 2010 and used a backup :(

    Paul,

    Thanks a lot for your detailed diagnostic. Unfortunately I deleted the corrupted VM because I needed some more space on my disk. I should have been interested in testing your solution, but I keep it for a next time...

    Thanks again
