Re: Performance Implications of Dimension Reordering in Turbo Integrator Processes

Why would you reorder to a worse dimension order?! When reordering the idea is to REDUCE memory footprint

Re: }Drill process return handle

I wasn't aware of this. Will have to look up ReturnCSVTableHandle and see if I can get it to work. The "classic" way of doing this is to use a text to ODBC driver and set up a public ODBC DSN pointed to a specific folder then have a TI process write a CSV to the folder which can then be di...

Re: Concentrating two dimensions elements together to form a unique identifier

It might help if you can explain why you need to do this. Do you need to flatten data and export using the key to another system?

Re: Dimension Subset TI Data Source Alias

Is it a limitation that aliases do not show when the data source is Dimension Subset? Not a limitation, a feature! ;) It doesn't matter what alias is assigned to subsets used in datasources (views and subsets). From a data source variable perspective TI will always read the principal name. As sugge...

Re: PA on IBM Cloud - Uploading users

I'm not convinced that being able to create users but not have the user accounts be properly active and able to be used (that is log onto the system with the account) is a really useful feature.

Re: Rule Dependency Query

If the rule sheet for both cubes reference the attributes of the same dimension via a lookup, something like a prior period lookup then does this create a dependency between my two cubes? No. in Cube A ['Measure'] = DB ('Cube A' , ......, DB('}ElementAttributes_Period' , !Period, 'Prior') ,....); i...

Re: RAM usage exploding with CubeUnload and ViewConstruct

Why don't you export data to CSV on production and load the CSV in Test/Dev? It seems to me that this would be a better solution. - more scope for automation since at the end of the export the process to load the file could be chained by tm1runti or rest call - presumably the whole history doesn't c...

Re: Performance drop between 2.0.9.1 and 2.0.9.15

I can only agree that there is absolutely no point in testing an upgrade to 2.0.9.15 as this is already a year old. Go with the latest release: 1. as you will get better support if needed from IBM or your BP rather than being helpfully asked to upgrade 2. if you are working for a organization with g...

Re: REST API Dimension Clone

There's no single endpoint to duplicate a dimension. You can get the elements and structure, but you then need separate calls to create the attributes and then copy the data.

Re: Unable to ViewZeroOut }bedrock.cube.view.create

Declan's answer is correct. You need to use ExecuteProcess not RunProcess. 1. So that all processes will be part of the same commit transaction, which makes temp objects accessible to other processes whihc are part of the same transaction. 2. So that the execution is serial and the calling process w...

Re: Tm1 Model - Limit Overall RAM Usage

Not being able to shutdown the instance would seem to be a fatal flaw in using this! What would happen to a long-running TI process that was processing rule calculated cells and consequently growing the calculation cache? If memory limit exceeded does the TI process just error? Or does it do somethi...

Re: Tm1 Model - Limit Overall RAM Usage

You can't.

TM1 will eat up all available memory until it runs out.

And then it is paging, hanging and crashing time.
