Re: Connect the ODBC on -premise with the Planning Analytics on Cloud

For connecting to on premise databases:

If you are using IBM's SaaS PA then you will have the Workspace.
The security is done by issuing your users with IBM IDs and CAM. You can manage the groups and TM1 security is not really any different.

TM1 does not directly support inwards ODBC connections but there are a number of middleware products which will do this - google 'TM1 PowerBI' to get started.

Re: Unable to see slice to excel option in cube viewer

As Alan said, these buttons cannot work in Architect as they create Excel content, and Architect is a standalone application. They work in Perspectives which runs as an Excel addin.

Re: Connect to Power BI using TM1 Rest api

In your earlier thread https://www.tm1forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15092 I and others said you should use TM1PY, since PowerBI can execute Python. IMO that is the best way forward unless you pony up for one of the many middleware products which do this job rather well.

Re: TI process question - Mapping greyed out

You have set all element 'contents' to 'other' (good idea IMO). Just write your own code above or below the (empty) generated code.

Re: Rule causing service to go down?

If you have access to the server directory, edit the .RUX file with Notepad and comment out the problematic rule. Then look for the matching .BLB file and delete or rename it. Then restart the server.

Re: How user will add element and run process on their own?

Seems to me that you have not yet completed development - though it is possible that the users did not say what they needed (amazing I know, but it does happen). The solution is to build them a websheet with an action button to call the TI(s) to create the element and copy the content. Make sure you...

Re: Unique identity to identify elements in TM1 subsetEditor

Elements are unique in a dimension (unless you are brave enough to use the unfinished named hierarchy functionality, in which case they are unique in a hierarchy) - so DIMIX gives you the index of the element. I suggest that a clean up/deduplication of your subset would make life easier for your use...

Re: loading fields from csv without knowing the type of value

Until around 2002 InfoCat did both TM1 and Lotus Notes work. I recall that there was then an ODBC driver for Lotus Notes - but Notes' data model was quite unusual in that fields could be multi valued and the multiple values did not need to be the same data type. In practice the design and usage of t...

IMO Tomok hasn't explained enough to get you to address the issue. You probably have security set up on the dimension holding your various hierarchy levels.

Re: Dynamic query argument in TI...

My preference is to set the whole query up in the local variable DataSourceQuery and then write it out to a file for debugging purposes eg:

Code: Select all

datasourcequery = 'SELECT *
From A_TABLE
WHERE NUMERIC_DATE <= ' | nDate
;
asciioutput(test.csv',datasourcequery);

From what I can see the aim is for PAW to take on the developer admin tasks and PAX to be purely Excel reporting and budgeting.
