Re: TM1 Data Directory Compare Tool

winmerge also displays differences between the files side by side, highlighting the chunks of code that differ.

or simpler, no installs required:
DOS: xcopy /L can list what files may need to be copied.
bash: rsync -anuve

Re: IBM Cognos 10 Launch announced

I only caught the tail end of it. The only mention of TM1 I heard was that it ran 80% faster under Cognos 10 that Cognos 8. In general it is much faster. According to @GregBonnette 's tweet http://twitter.com/GregBonnette/status/28731360993 : OH in Q&A: 80% Performance improvement in #Cognos10 ...

Re: Tm1 processes

install http://www.wingrep.com, then run a search for the name of the cube in all .pro and .rux files in your TM1 data folder.
It will return all references to the cube, unless the name is held in a control cube.

Re: Cube View takes an hour to appear

2. I inherit the cube from someone who left, the cube does have some crazy and serious conditional rules, total 160 lines ... Now with the change of "MaximumCubeLoadThreads", the system seems to be much more stable, the tm1sd.exe remains at 9-10 G even after the restart, thus I do not hav...

Re: ASCIIOUTPUT - Columns Headings

set a flag in the prolog, test it, then change its value once you passed your columns headings.
example:

PROLOG TAB:

Code: Select all

header = 1;
DATA TAB:

Code: Select all

if(header = 1);
    asciioutput(file,'my,columns,headings');
    header = header - 1;
endif;

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post as there are no dedicated forum for Cognos Express (yet). Well, I managed to go through the maze of multiple pages of logins, forms, licenses agreements, and failed download manager, to get to the actual download link of the 1.5GB install zip for C...

Re: IBM/COGNOS Pain

I think you can only partially blame IBM for that, i.e. I agree that any new release should be officially supported for a longer period than is currently the case. The other part of the blame should be on stupid internal IT policy. well we can't say IBM is making it easy. .they do not keep 9.0 supp...

Re: IBM/COGNOS Pain

As a side thought is there anything in the legals of the maintenance contract that means the money paid to IBM most be spent on TM1? Obviously not a problem when it was Applix since they only had 1 product but with IBM the money could just disappear and be spent on anything. Mind you getting to pay...

Re: Applix 9.4 FP2

On the other hand, TM1 customers shouldn't need to rely on other Forumers to let them know when a new version is out. Guess IBM'll figure that one out after the survey. Or not. They sort of did already. There's an RSS feed at http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/rss/db2/3446.xml?rss=s3446&ca=...

Thanks for the update bihints, Have you tried to get any background on the issue from IBM? I think 9.0 is still on active support so they might be more inclined to help. yes I opened a request after noticing this thread, though it looks like a dead end. They claim it is a Citrix issue but I manage ...
