Hi all,

I run through the entire tutorial on how to create you own
Commerce Server event, but in the end, during the import
dts task, I get an error on the report prep step:

A property required for task execution has not been set.
Property: PartitionName

Anybody ideas? TIA

Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroups.

Could you give me the path to the tutorial you are following? The error is
stating that It is missing a required parameter. I would be happy to set
it up and give you additional information.

Hi Maria,

The tutorial I'm using can be found in the Commerce Server=20
Help file -> Developer's Guide -> Extending Commerce=20
Server ->
Extending the data warehouse -> Extending Commerce Events -
> Reporting on a custom Commerce Event.


I also found that the tutorial is lacking an important=20
step which is needed in setting up a new event. In the=20
first part ('Creating a custom Commerce event'), after=20
creating the VB script used to extend the data warehouse=20
schema and inserting the new commerce events into the data=20
warehouse, there should be a section on creating a new=20
event type, otherwise the step 'to add a new event type=20
description' is useless and the view created in this step=20
will not return the expected data.

The step that is needed here is to create a SQL script to=20
insert the two event types which are mentioned in the=20
'to add a new event type description' step, for example:

insert into eventtype(eventTypeID, EventDescription,=20
EventName, EventTypeInternalFlag)
values (0x000000003EB, NULL, 'ADDTOLIST', 1)
insert into eventtype(eventTypeID, EventDescription,=20
EventName, EventTypeInternalFlag)
values (0x000000003EC, NULL, 'DROPFROMLIST', 1)
go

TIA,

Arnold Jan van der Burg

Hi Maria,

I already found the source of the error. In the tutorial=20
it states that the new record that is to be inserted into=20
the CubeProcInfo table is a virtual cube which is not the=20
case, because it's a standard cube.

Hi Maria,

I also found another error in the tutorial about creating=20
custom commerce server events. Because the cube created is=20
not of the virtual type, a partition size should be=20
inserted ('Reporting on a Custom Commerce Server Event',=20
step 28) , otherwise the stored procedures that create the=20
partitions will fail for this particular cube and the=20
partition will not be created and the cube will not be=20
processed.

Regards,
