Hello,
I have got the following error message during processing a cube which I have been working on BIDS (Visual Studio Business Intelligence Development Studio) for SQL Server 20050 Analysis Services.
Errors in the metadata manager. The 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Backup\' storage location of the RISStatic partition does not exist, is too long, or contains characters that are not valid or are reserved.
Later I realized that this error is just because of the reason that on the target server of the deployment process, there is not a folder with the path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Backup\"
So creating the unexisting folder with the path in the development environment on the target deployment server for this this partition storage will solve the problem.
