4. Now, check for the status for the cube and then press “log” -> goto “Inital filling” -> check the history logs — to confirm “Initial fill for the cube is success(No “Yellow” status in log).

5. If Initial fill is success, then check the “log” -> goto “rollup request” -> check the history logs — to ensure the rollup for the cube is running fine.

Give the date range two weeks (dependents upon how frequently you are running rollup for your cube)
