Re: Attribute Security

You could set element security against the }ElementAttributes_Employee dimension or set cell security for the }ElementAttributes_Employee cube. However I think you would be better off storing your attributes in either a custom lookup cube or else create a replica employee dimension for holding the a...

Re: Displaying sandbox name in excel cell

Yes it is possible but not automatically without user intervention. If you are happy for the user to click an action button that runs a process containing the ServerActiveSandboxGet() and TM1User() functions then you can write to a string cell in a cube containing the }Clients dimension the name of ...

Re: File size limitation on .CUB files?

And just to add to what Mike said, an often overlooked issue until it causes a problem is that the larger the .cub file size, the longer a data save is going to take. Our largest .cub is around 600 meg, and even with that save times can be painful (several minutes, though it's rarely that cube alon...

Re: TI mixed with Admin required rights

When a TI process runs it runs with full DataAdmin access regardless of the security process of the user who kicked the process off. If the process needs to perform security functions then you need to right-click the process and make sure the "Security Access" option is ticked. This ensure...

Re: Cannot hide the Administration Node on Tm1 Web

I'm a little confused by your post as perhaps are others. Is the screenshot you attached from your system after your changes or is it from the IBM reference material? If the image is taken from your system then YOU HAVE HIDDEN THE ADMINISTRATION NODE. The Tm1 Web navigation pane shows in order the t...

Re: How to create Attributes using Dimension worksheets.

A simpler and less risky approach to creating an }ElementAttributes XDI would be to use an action button to run a generic process to insert a dimension attribute. That way the dimension can be edited entirely from within Excel. For columns D onwards you can use something like DINNM(DIMIX()) combinat...

Re: What are these blb files all about?

Didn't work properly in 9.1 that's for sure (but no worse than the old rules editor with formatting in 8.x ;) )
But works fine in 9.4 and 9.5, I'm now a convert for most purposes.

Re: Epilog: The Limitation that went Unnoticed

It is good to see other experiences here. I also experienced that metadata changes during prolog and metadata tabs are committed at the end of the metadata process. If you need to get some metadata operations to be done after the metadata tab, then you can put them in prolog or metadata tab in anot...

Re: What are these blb files all about?

Yes the blb files only contain view formatting such as view number format (if being used), window size and position. As the blb files contain no actual data of importance from a system integrity point of view there is no need to back them up when backing up the data directory (in fact they probably ...

well, actually I made it with another workaround, I checked, with a CellGetN, if the value at the Top of all the dimensions is 0 or not.

If you are only planning on using TM1 then no issue with going with another server name other than CXMD and putting the data and logging directories in a more sensible location also!

Re: check for an empty view

Some lateral thinking ... You could assign the view as a data source to a generic process that has skip blanks ON but skip calcs and rules OFF (make sure the process has sufficient variables to accommodate all cubes in the model). On the prolog initialise a counter with a value of zero. On the data ...
