The Process Progress window
After processing has successfully completed a “Process succeeded” status message will display toward
the bottom of the dialog window. You will also see processing report information similar to that shown

used to troubleshoot issues where the data in your dimensions and cubes are out of sync with the data in your
data warehouse.
