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...

Do readers also assume that the <StoreAlias=F> modifier was not used on the picklist for JobType?

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.

Re: RAM usage exploding with CubeUnload and ViewConstruct

I have noticed similar behaviour when using MTFeeders=T and MTFeeders.AtStartup=T

Are you using these in your TM1s.cfg?

Re: PAW reports error

Looks like something failing in the underlying MDX based on that error.
You may want to try open the board specification (Ctrl + / + q) then copy and paste into notepad and do a search to see where Label may be used.

This series may help you get familiar with some of the commands and then those concepts could be translated to Powershell.

Re: Tm1 Model - Limit Overall RAM Usage

More fiddling needed - I have not had time to look at running DebugUtility 125 to clear the cache, unload certain cubes etc. before attempting a shutdown. Still not a perfect solution by any stretch but if this model and others were going to simply crash, limiting to one that may need to be killed m...

Re: Tm1 Model - Limit Overall RAM Usage

I had some time to play around a bit more with this parameter. Looks like my initial server crashes were due to too little memory on startup. Bumping this up a bit allowed the server to start as per normal. This parameter appears to be Static - no changes to it whilst running seemed to have any effe...

Re: MDX With Member Dynamic

Without knowing what elements you actually have and are trying to derive, I was grasping. Sorry for the confusion. I have had issues with specifying the dim.hierarchy and the following may work in your case: WITH MEMBER [Period].[Period].[VAR] AS STRTOMEMBER("[Period].[" + [System Variable...

Re: Tm1 Model - Limit Overall RAM Usage

So there actually seems to be a way though not official/documented. If you add PooledMemoryMaxLimit=<threshold in MB> to your tm1s.cfg, that instance will basically just crash when the threshold is reached. Not ideal normally but may be what you need in your specific case. My TM1server.log shows the...

Do you have members that are called something like [Sep - Oct] in the Period dimension? If yes, then something like this may work: WITH MEMBER [Period].[Period].[Sep - Oct] AS STRTOMEMBER( "[Period].[" + [System Variables].([System Variables Lines].[Previous Actual Period],[Data Type].[Str...

For now you could try adding the following to your tm1features.json:
