HPCM Error Dimension Cache is building


Have you ever received this error message when working with an HPCM application?
  

“The Dimension Cache is building. Please wait a few minutes and try again. Also ensure that the selected application has been logged into at least once”


It looks pretty straight forward, so you wait a few more minutes and try again, but still you get the same error! Surely you know that the application has been logged into, you are in it right now aren’t you?

Well the solution is simple, even though you are logged in, the error is caused because your metadata has recently been refreshed, since your last log in. You are left with two options to resolve this:
1.       Close the application tab in workspace and reopen it
2.       Open the application again in another workspace tab, you can then close that tab, and the error will be gone

Personally I prefer the second option, since I’m generally mid edit when you receive this message, and I don’t want to lose my work, but option 1 works just as well.

Hope this helps, a simple error, simple solution, but not always straight forward.

Good luck with your projects!
