Re: Rolling Forecast in TM1

You can move actuals to budget by rules alone. Start month/start year may be stored in a parameter cube and read out by the rule. You don't have to write a rule for every month. Take a look at the DIMNM/DIMIX-example in the rules manual. Since you have only one time dimension it is easy to apply in ...

Re: MDX Question

welcome to the forum! some thoughts: - you probably need to duplicate your dim_store to be able to display it on two axis. - this leads you to the "many-to-many dimension" concept in SSAS. Search for examples on the web if this fits your need. - defining dim_store as "role playing&quo...

Re: Upload csv file from Google Analytics

Hi Jennifer, what is written in the ASCIIOUTPUT-file eMediaOutput.cma? You may keep programming simpler in the development stage. Take only some source rows as input and no errorhandling. If you run on an error, TI gives you the error and you know where to search. Always use ASCIIOUTPUT to check ele...

Re: Intercube feeder

Hi Stanislav, since you are transfering Actuals, you could as well transfer the values with TI and store them physically in cube B. Assuming you have no end user interactivity for Actuals. Write a process that runs after you have loaded your Actuals in cube A. Another point is the summation SAP3000 ...

Re: Dynamic subset

well, read out your parameter from your parameter cube and put it in subset. Then assign subset to your view: like: # (3) Subset for month #Monat auslesen mon = CellGetS('z_param', 'Ben Allg', 'Para102', 'pardat_s2'); SubsetDestroy('Monat', 'z_mon'); SubsetCreate('Monat', 'z_mon'); SubsetElementInse...

Re: Tm1 SAP Connector

Hi,
late answer but maybe useful for others.
The message appeared in my case when there were restrictions applied for the SAP cube in TI. Search for "addInfoCubeRestriction(...)" in your process and if existent check if the attributes in brackets fit to the cube in question.

HTH,

Re: MS Reporting Services with TM1

Paul, if you are working in a Microsoft environment, why are you using TM1 for pure reporting? For Reporting you can use Analysis Services alone. I suppose IBM will not invest much effort in the Reporting Services connection because there is Cognos Connection , Report Studio, Analysis Studio etc alr...

Hi, I would convert it in the TI script.

Yes, there's work in sight either for you or someone on the backend side...

Harry, check your TI script for the CellPutN section. For a 4 dim cube it should be something like #****Begin: Generated Statements*** CellPutN(Value,'cubex',Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4); #****End: Generated Statements**** You need to specify the element for the "measure dimension" as well. Your &...

Re: Is it possible to secure part of a dimension

I would not give users control to edit dimensions. The process has to be controlled by an administrator. There could be a template where users enter the elements in a structured way (leaf element, according parent element). The admin would integrate this template as a meta data source into the dimen...

to check if data are in the cube did you export your TM1 cube data into a flat file and see if something is written into the file?

Re: Import data from Control Cubes into Framework Manager

I found no way to let control cubes show up in FM. A workaround would be to create a new normal cube with the same dimensions that build your control cube. Not nice of course. For view stats you would need to populate it with rules probably.

Re: Use same dimension in multiple axes

Kaveenga,

from an MDX query point of view you can't put members of one dimension on more than one axis. So I wonder how you did with SSAS/SSRS. -> You may have used "role playing dimensions". You may show us an example. The MDX for the Cockpit query would be interesting, too.

You need Cognos 8.4 BI to connect to existing TM1 cubes. In Framework Manager 8.4 you can select TM1 as a data source and create a package. Make sure to set the measure dimension before in TM1. Then you may use Analysis Studio or Report Studio to create ad hoc- or standard reports. I don't know if t...
