Re: Element Security gets wiped - how to debug

Is it possible the elements are getting deleted and then added back? I would expect you to be losing data against these elements as well if this is what is happening too.

Formatting of dynamic slices / active forms in TM1 Web or PAW versus Excel

Hi, Just hit this issue that had me scratching my head, pretty sure I've had it before so just writing it down here so if I search for it I can find the answer... If the formating of a Dynamic Report is working correctly in Excel but not in TM1 Web / PAW check the the named range TM1RPTFMTRNG"N...

Re: Prevent Data Spread for ADMIN

If you are going to use locking extensively and are combining that with TIs then you are probably also going to want to use CubeLockOverride(), a lightly documented TI function. To turn all locking off in the whole DB use CubeLockOverride(1); To turn it back on again use CubeLockOverride(0); Turning...

On the basis the Member ID / EPN and their respective aliases are always totally interchangable 100% of the time, this is a bug.

It is probably behaving as deisgned however....

Re: Prevent Data Spread for ADMIN

Thanks for the good idea! I did not think about "lock" (or "reserve") - but I checked the security: Members of ADMIN-Group do automatically always have ADMIN-rights to all Dimensions and Elements and this cannot be changed. Setting to LOCK will also stop admins from changing the...

Re: TI processes that load a reporting cube loads to incorrect server

You've not mentioned the source for the TI processes. I'm guessing it is a SQL query. Have you checked that any ODBC connections in the production environment are not pointing at a Dev environment or a cube of reference information has not been promoted with the Dev information in it? It is far more...

Re: Approaching project complexity

I've been following this thread with interest. 20TS, my reading of the issues you are raising is that they were process and project management issues rather than a technology problem? Any project against any technology is going to look a mess if the initial scope is not correct and then there are si...

Re: Tm1 and ibm cloud

Just to follow up. Is the bucket size referring to the RAM or the disc consumption? If it disc consumption rather than RAM, then you need to look at and understand how the logging is configured on TM1. Areas to check. Make sure you understand how the disc is used, can it only be TM1 causing the issu...

Re: Tm1 and ibm cloud

You'll first need to identify which of the services on the box are causing the RAM spike. It might not even be a TM1 problem, can you get to the task managed or similar on the box? I'm going to assume it is the Tm1 DB. You'd have to make some significant changes to the config of T1Web to allow it to...

One thing that would be worth doing in your build is before (and maybe after) a job runs check for another occurence of the same job with the same parameters and clear it from the queue. Just to protect yourself from impatient users who sit there clicking the button becuase "nothings happening&...

Re: "GROUP BY" MDX

MDX views are quite hard, or at least require you to step up your MDX game significantly. I started by looking at the MDX that PA was generating for a view (there's a lot of noise in this) and then reading up on the MDX documentation, and a lot of trial and error until I got to a method that worked ...

You'll want to use ViewCreateByMDX, rather than the more usual subset logic.
