Re: Read a TM1 Cube through ODBO

normanbobo, you're really tough on this approach... 4) We are using the CROSSJOIN because we want every combination of dimensional elements. I wouldn't use the CROSSJOIN at all. Look at your first post, if even the wizard isn't using it, I wouldn't use it. See the alternative is in this post also. I...

Re: Read a TM1 Cube through ODBO

I don't know what the TI wizard is doing, I never use it. You may alternatively use ODBO "MDX query" as a source instead of ODBO cube. Then write a freehand MDX query in the "MDX query" tab similar to the following example for a 3D cube: SELECT {[model].[total].children} * {[regi...

Re: TM1 9.5.1 Tm1 Excel servces: no connection ..

Hi Ed,
this error may appear if Excel reports were edited in two different versions (2003/2007). Restart service, create a new report in one version, publish it. Report should run fine. If you then run one of the corrupted ones then .. Puff! again for all available reports.

Re: MDX Filtering on Multiple Dimensions

Most of the MDX examples in this forum explain how to create dynamic subsets. A subset belongs to one dimension. Your intention is to retreive values from a cube with an SELECT .. FROM [cube] statement. This is also possible but you need some VBA using the ADO interface. J. Wakefield and K. Blackler...

Deleting log-files older than < x > days with TI

At the costumer site no admin ever observed and probably never will observe the log-files. Thus they can be regularly deleted, assuming a regular backup of the log directory on tape is in place! Maybe you're interested in it. - valid for the actual decade (searching for "tm1s201*.log") - W...

Re: Best way to transfer values between mapped items with ru

Do you have more than two cubes in your model? Is your example only an excerpt of the whole model? If not, why do you have two dimensions, measure and account. Measure is a subset of account in your case -option 2. You could use one dimension and one cube. Your "result" reporting you could...

Re: VBA Process Run Issue Encountered

Hi Jim,

if you have no parameters in your process, set the following parameter to 0 (or modify determination of hParametersArray):

hParametersArray = TM1ValArray(pgeneral, iparamarray, 0)

This worked for me with your code.

Re: ***URGENT **** Error Registering object - while running

Security Assignments is correct. "Read" right is enough to let it run. Your error may have a different reason.

Regarding rights for Admin, DataAdmin, SecurityAdmin it is best to read the manuals. Same for system objects (starting with }).

Oracle announced OBIEE 11g with the new "Common Enterprise Information Model": http://www.kdnuggets.com/2010/07/b-oracle-bi-11g-game-changer.html?k10n17 The vague part about it is if you take the time to build it But I found Release 10 already was very powerful and intuitive to work with.
