Re: TI referencing variables not in data source

Yeah I was trying to avoid doing a loop. Why do you want to avoid doing a loop? I would say that for this sort of thing a loop be it on a dimension, subset, or "lookup dimension" (as per Burnstripe's comment) is *almost* essential - and very likely the most efficient way of doing it. Ther...

Re: User's active sandbox

In PAW when you select a sandbox, you are selecting it for a widget rather than the whole session. You can have it also apply to other widgets by using the Synchronization settings. But I don't think Process Buttons in PAW have synchronization options that are capable of syncing sandboxes. If the ab...

Re: TI referencing variables not in data source

You need to do some form of loop on the data tab where you loop through the weeks dimension. The most basic form of this would be to simply loop the entire dimension e.g. iCount = 1; iMax = DimSiz ( cDimWeek ); While ( iCount <= iMax ); sWeek = DimNm ( cDimWeek, iCount ); If ( DType ( cDimWeek, sWee...

Re: Manual Sort Order TI Process

You can have both element and component sort as “byinput”. You then have to use something like a shadow dimension to do all of your manual sorting in and then have a TI process do complete rebuilds on your main dimension with the shadow dimension as a source, the code then very carefully inserts new...

Re: Planning Analytics Performance Modeler license as ReadOnlyUser

Sorry, I think I have different opinion on this. That was my first impression as well originally but after auditing, IBM says if you have ReadWrite user license, you need to let that user be able to write something back to TM1. You can't simply group your ReadOnly users under ReadWrite license umbr...

Re: Planning Analytics Performance Modeler license as ReadOnlyUser

A standard performance management user is your bog standard read/write contributor/planner. As far as IBM are concerned if you pay for someone to have write privileges but only grant them read access - that is fine as it’s lower access. You could buy an explore/read only licence that’s cheaper so IB...

Re: Monthly Poll 202105 - What's your security mode poison?

My recommendation is usually CAM authentication for full SSO compatibility with all interfaces and it gets hooked up to AD. But just 1 or 2 CAM groups per TM1 instance that give basic access. Then once the users are authenticated in TM1 we have internal mode 1 groups that assign the actual user acce...

Re: How to dynamically refer to cube view in TI?

DataSourceNameForServer = <CubeName>;
DataSourceCubeView = <ViewName>;

On the prolog tab.
You need to make sure the view that you originally set it up with has at least the same number of columns etc in order to be able to use the variables.

Re: Cube last data pull

The only thing I can think of would be to turn on stargate view logging (tm1s-log.properties). You would then theoretically be able to see from this point on whether the cube is queried, but you wouldn't be able to retroactively check to see in the past before the point you enabled logging. It would...

Re: Action Button Bulk upload

is there any other way (besides quick-report with committing values to a cube)? Your easiest option available is probably just to have hidden columns which contain DBS formulas to send the data from the cells into the cube. For the DBS formulas you can add an IF statement that looks at a single con...

Re: Question on Hierarchy

If your users work with an interface that allows the use of alternate hierarchies I would scrap the current set up and replace it with a dimension that just contains the core roll ups - which sounds to be location based info. And then an additional hierarchy linking the n-level element to an Agency ...

That hidden section in the exploration views is great for dragging in the virtual sandbox dimension as well (assuming you have it enabled) without having to go through the full navigation pane.

Re: copying element security data from one element to another

Personally, if this is a one off job I would be inclined to just do it manually in PAX/perspectives with simple lookups to decide where you want to paste the values into.
