Invalid Cube Name Error During Data Load

My colleagues in OneStream, have you seen this error before? Since this is the first time I’ve come across it in a standard load scenario with everything else validating, I thought I’d share here to compare notes. Any insights on what could be “behind” this error in practice would be really helpful for building a knowledge base around less common OneStream load errors.

While running a data load in OneStream, I encountered an "Invalid Cube Name" error. What made this surprising is that all the usual suspects checked out fine:

Workflow setup was validated.

Data sources were reviewed.

Transformation rules were checked.

Rules on members who call cubes were also confirmed.

Cube mappings looked correct.

Despite all of these checks, the error still occurred.

This message is unusual because it doesn’t typically appear if the metadata, cube structure, or mappings are aligned. In most cases, it points to something deeper in how OneStream is resolving the cube context for the workflow profile or the entity being processed.

Have you seen this error before on OneStream? ( Invalid Cube Name Error During Data Load)

Cheers

    Solution We Applied

    To resolve this, we created a child cube and mapped the entity dimension directly to it. We then referenced this new cube from the main reporting cube that was throwing the error during the OnePlace data load. After making this adjustment, the issue was resolved.

    My colleagues in OneStream, have you seen this error before? Since this was the first time I’ve encountered it, I thought it would be helpful to share. Any additional insights on why this error arises would be valuable in building a stronger knowledge base for unusual OneStream load errors.
