Symptoms

Assume that you use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS 2012) or SQL Server 2014 Analysis Services (SSAS 2014) in Tabular mode. When you perform Process Data or Process Full on a partition in a table, an access violation occurs. For example, you process the partition with the following script:

<Process xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
  <Type>ProcessFull</Type>
  <Object>
    <DatabaseID>AdventureWorksTb2012</DatabaseID>
    <CubeID>Model</CubeID>
    <MeasureGroupID>Reseller_d52b9c6f-8d2d-4e23-ae4c-2fc57c1d968a</MeasureGroupID>
    <PartitionID>Reseller_d52b9c6f-8d2d-4e23-ae4c-2fc57c1d968a</PartitionID>
  </Object>
