Re: TM1 server crash

Do you have a backup that was taken before the server migration you could test? This line: The TM1 service may not have been shut down completely prior to copying the model really sounds like it could be the cause. If you don't have a backup to test with, then calling IBM may be your best bet (unles...

Re: issues with moving TI processes

What if you create a new process while the server is running? Right click the "Processes" node and create a new one with a random name. Is that process visible? I'm out of ideas at this point, so just trying to isolate what works and what doesn't.

Re: issues with moving TI processes

Are you admin on the dev server? If not, login with an admin account and update your }ProcessSecurity cube to provide READ access to the new processes.

Re: TM1 Perspectives on Network vs Stand-Alone

I really think you may want to involve an "IT person" in this particular case. Can you clarify what exactly you are trying to accomplish? You mentioned hosting Perspectives on a shared drive, which you definitely should not do. Perspectives creates configuration files per user... If you wa...

Re: TM1Top does not cancel process while waiting Database - Batch Process

My preferred way of working around this during the development phase is the following: Write your SQL query outside of the ODBC connection (i.e. SQL Developer for Oracle, pgAdmin III for PostgreSQL, etc.) When you're positive the data coming out of your DB is correct, export it from the database to ...

Re: [Citrix - TM1 Perspective] No admin server

Try to ensure that the tm1p.ini file (their personal configuration file for the tm1p.xla) is not getting wiped. This sounds like a fairly common issue with the Citrix profiles being "reset". You can confirm that this is happening by comparing the contents of the tm1p.ini before and after t...

If so, SupportPreTLSv12Clients=T If you have VBA worksheets and want to use them in PAW, be prepared to gut them and start over with the logic Docker is nothing to be afraid of, but if...

I have also noticed this same issue in Excel only. Another option (dare I say :shock: ) is to use the E_PICK macro. This would ultimately make it incompatible with web, more of a pain to update, and obfuscated for no real benefit, BUT it will work. :D Just don't blame it on me if you decide to go th...

Re: Need Help making copy of existing cube in TM1

I agree with Mark for the most part with one small exception: the Measures dimension SHOULD be renamed. The only time I could ever see reusing a measures dimension from another cube is if the cube is strictly for testing (and even then I never like that approach i.e. test becomes permanent ;) ). Bes...
