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...

Re: MDX With Member Dynamic

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...

Re: Memory usage gradually increased to maximum (64 GB) after restarting the tm1 service

Once started up, your feeders would have fired and memory usage should be based on the data and the feeders related to them. Only when data changes would you expect more memory to be used due to additional areas being fed. "data changes" is ambiguous here as there is a concept of going fro...

Re: Memory usage gradually increased to maximum (64 GB) after restarting the tm1 service

I would say that this is expected behaviour. Even if you have set tm1s.cfg parameters to load sets and views, I would expect that opening views where TM1 needs to recalculate would increase memory usage (assuming no memory to recycle from garbage). If you are running processes, these would consume m...

Re: Failed to open temp file for processing tm1rawstore.<DateTime>

The error typically indicates that another process has the file locked. Have you ruled out antivirus or other program locking the file to scan it? ProcessExplorer can assist in telling you what process is locking. Your service stuck in stopping state could be that it is just taking too long to shut ...

Re: Global Variable Scope in TI; a Public Service Announcement

Been caught out before with a chore reporting failures each day. Running the process was fine though.
Turned out to be exactly this, old value retained from chore to chore each day.
After Initialising in the first process's Prolog, all smooth.

I'll get the ball rolling... Let's ignore the organic growth in cubes, dimension etc. and how that would scale and factor into your answer.

Re: Syntax for deleting records from table using sql inside of TI job

Once you have done what David suggests, I think you will see an issue with your WHERE clause - looks to ultimately be saying WHERE PERIOD = X AND Y - cannot be both, maybe you meant BETWEEN. Also, a better approach for these kinds of expressions is to use Expand() e.g. sSQL = EXPAND('DELETE FROM &qu...
