The <CubeName> does not have a 'Database' parent

Question

I'm running into integration problem in multiple SSAS developer scenario.

I developed dimensions A, B in a database and checked in the project to source control. Files checked in include dwproj, database, ds, dsv files, but no cube file.

Another developer took this solution to his environment and developed a Cube and checked in all files along with .cube file.

Now, when i take the latest copy of all files and open the Cube, i see that there is a message The <CubeName> does not have a 'Database' parent' on the Cube data layout pane in Cube structure. Same message comes for the objects in Dimensions pane as well.

Build fails due to this error.

Any clues?

Hi barnala,

Apparently, your project contain the cube file, but after checking in the project to source control, then you cannot see the cube file right? which tool of source control you are using? it seems this issue is more relevant to the tool you are using, have you have this issue before? or this issue occurred suddenly? 

Thanks,

Hi Challen,

We are using Perforce as the source control tool and we are using perforce plug in for visual studio for checking the files directly from Visual studio.

When we check in, there is no such problem as you mentioned, we can see the files after checking in. Only strange behaviour that we observed is after checking in the file, it goes into Perforce depot (as expected), but the checked in files should show a lock symbol in Visual Studio, but only this new file that has been added, still shows symbol as if it is checked out. This problem comes only when adding new file to an existing solution.
