KeyDuplicate Element (ASSL)

Determines how Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services handles a duplicate key error if it encounters one during processing.

Syntax

<ErrorConfiguration>
   ...
      <KeyDuplicate>...</KeyDuplicate>
   ...
</ErrorConfiguration>

Element Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Data type and length	String (enumeration)
Default value	IgnoreError
Cardinality	0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.

Element Relationships

Relationship	Element
Parent element	ErrorConfiguration
Child elements	None

Remarks

Duplicate key errors are generated only during dimension processing, when an attribute key is encountered more than once. Because attribute keys must be unique, Analysis Services discards the duplicate records. Duplicate key errors typically indicate a flaw in the design of the dimension, specifically in the relationships between attributes.

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 KeyDuplicate in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is ErrorOption.
