Re: MDX analysis of what you are feeding

They were pretty clear when asked that v12 on premise would not re-introduce any of the functionality that v12 containerised was removing... I hear you but cannot fathom right now how we would not need to save cubes back to the filesystem to commit changes to disk in a non-containerised environment.

Re: MDX analysis of what you are feeding

Unfortunately not, but with the announcement of V12 for on-premise, I do wonder what we were told would not be available, will now be available again as we would not be running containerized, would have access to the filesystem etc. SaveDataAll, AsciiOutput, possibly logging remains? Some further qu...

Re: Using VBA Replace to alter DBRW references in PAfE

In your VBA code, could you not set the cells you are updating to Dirty using the .Dirty method?
This should force a recalculation of the cells next time the sheet is calculated.

MDX analysis of what you are feeding

For those looking to get something more out of MDX, please have a look at the article I just posted on the IBM Community

It also contains links to my other articles on using MDX views.

Re: ODBCOutput Delete table error with MS SQL2019

It may be worth enabling the SQL related loggers to see what additional information is available.

Re: PickList to show Alias but store Element Name

That missing "r" is literally something I encountered previously and no one could work out why the rule had broken. Previously input selection was incorrectly spelled and then corrected causing lots of head scratching as everyone's auto-correct just looked right over the issue. So now we s...

Re: PickList to show Alias but store Element Name

The joy manifests when someone updates the master data rendering the values you stored in the cube invalid requiring you to find and fix them. e.g. 1234-Desciption vs 1234-Description A simple correction to spelling will cause untold issues where the value in the picklist is relied on elsewhere in t...

Re: Drill Throughs not accepting left Joins SQL- but accept where joins

Have you enabled the SQL loggers to see if there is any message coming back from SQL?

Could it be a context thing when running from TM1 that the left join does not know the table and schema i.e.

Code: Select all

left JOIN [CompassDW].[dbo].[dim_supplier] ON
vs

Code: Select all

left JOIN [dim_supplier] ON

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

Hi Maren, Not sure if you are familiar with this undocumented feature but a picklist can show a description/alias from a set but store the code/principal name. Use the following syntax and set the StoreAlias=F to store the principal name otherwise T for the alias. Subset:Dimension:Subsetname<StoreAl...

Re: RAM and PVU licensing

AFAIK, the 2TB was on-premise - would shudder to think what 2TB would cost on cloud, especially with the new PA aaS offering where you buy memory in 16Gb chunks - 125 of them required at around $10k each. Sure the premium offering would have pricing benefits but cannot see that hosting on cloud with...

Re: RAM and PVU licensing

HI Paul, Some of use were chatting recently and there are servers out there with 2TB of RAM. 128GB of RAM is by no means big. However, saying this, if I were IT I probably would have asked you if you have optimised usage as far as you can. Have you looked at what usage the cubes show using Performan...

Re: MDX to get User Cubes Names

Another option for you loosely based on your first example and using INSTR:

Code: Select all

FILTER(
	{ TM1SUBSETALL( [}Cubes] )},
	INSTR(1,[}Cubes].[}Cubes].CurrentMember.Name,"}",1)=0

Re: PAW Snippets - file location and security

AFAIK, they are buried in PAW some place as I asked a question about all DBs on a PAoC instance seeing them and was told that they are global within the PAW instance and not limited by DB.
