Dlist is getting updated through internal link , source is a dcube.

try to record a macro when you run it manually,.. sometimes it uses some special parameters or macrosteps,..

if this wont help, i would check wheter the cube was closed corretly (so that its dimension are accessible),..

is there anything related to this problem in your errorlog?

We had a similar issue and it was due to the drive mapping not been recognised, so we used the UNC instead of the drive mapping.

Sorry for replying late....

There is nothing in error log.  while recording , Nothing special happened in macro steps.  It is not seems like drive issue, because automatic execution happened successfully only once in last 3 weeks.

It may be worth checking that the account the windows scheduler runs under has write access to the libraries that hold the D-Cubes being updated.
