Table 9-1 Validation Errors and Warnings

Message	Message Type	Explanation
Dimension <Dimension Name> in the <Rule Element> tab for Rule <Rule Name> does not have a member selected.	Error	The rule is not fully defined and cannot be executed. The rule will be disabled at runtime, and you must provide the missing information and re-enable the rule.
NONEMPTYTUPLE is not used in Rule Formula	Warning	The formula in a custom rule does not contain a NONEMPTYTUPLE statement. A NONEMPTYTUPLE statement helps custom rules calculate significantly faster.
Upper level member 'Product.AllProducts' is used in Driver	Warning	The use of upper level members in drivers can significantly increase allocation rule calculation times.
Calculated member 'Product.<Account.AverageShippingWeight>' is used in Driver (where <Account.AverageShippingWeight> is a level-0 member with a formula)	Warning	The use of calculated members in drivers can significantly increase allocation rule calculation times.
High destination count for Allocate Evenly Driver	Warning	The use of the Allocate Evenly driver forces allocations to every potential destination, and can result in a very high number of very small allocation amounts. You should verify that this meets your design goals.
Same parent member 'Product.AllProducts' is selected in both Source and Destination	Warning	The use of the same upper level member in both the source and destination results in an indexed allocation from every level 0 source to every level 0 destination under the parent member. You should verify that this is the intended logic.
