Re: Performance impact of many timestamped transaction logs

Hello all, In our environment we have a daily SaveDataAll chore running during off-hours. As a consequence, we have accumulated many timestamped tm1s*.log file as we don't presently archive these. I recall from a prior thread there IS a performance hit with keeping the timestamp'd transaction logs ...

Re: Passing data from one cell to another

This forum is not a substitute for taking a training class or reading the manuals. This is a very basic question that cannot be answered in a simple forum post. It requires a lot of background which you will find either in a training class or in the manuals.

Re: Understanding Persistent Feeders

If you have conditional feeders, meaning an IF statement in there somewhere, then persistent feeders may not work properly for you without a rule save (to make the feeders recalculate).

Re: Active form hell

Re: Active form hell

The issue you are having is due to the fact columns are not dynamic in an active form. If you had just the one time dimension then the form would work but since you have it split into two it doesn't. I don't know of any way to make it zero suppress in this scenario except to do a "pseudo suppre...

Re: Zero Suppression - very small #'s

TM1 stores values in double precision, not decimal. This has been around since the tool was first developed and it can causes issues with zero suppression when you have a scenario like yours. The only way I know to fix it is to assign a ROUNDP rule to the consolidated elements. Doing a ROUNDP throug...

My Excel in the server is 32Bit and I cannot change the installation.

I don't think I'll be able to install 62bit ODBC driver if my Excel is 32
Then you won't be able to do what you asked about.

Re: LOGGING for }StatsBy Control Cubes

I can't think of any reason why you would want to log the activity in the {StatsXXX cubes because they are already set up to capture history. As to the other control cubes it depends on what type of activity you want to be able to track. I generally have logging set to YES for control cubes.

Re: Assessing instance/Cube Efficiency

By doing a count of 1 on each pass I estimated that adding up all the measures there are about 45 million populated cells. Though it says the number of Stored calculated cells is 4.5 million and the number of populated numeric cells is 3 million. So I don't know why when I run the TI it counts 45 m...

Re: Assessing instance/Cube Efficiency

So I created a view at leaf level and I am doing a cellput to a cube which includes the measure dimension to count the number of cells by measure. So the data tab is simply x=x+1; Cellput(x, 'CountCube', vMeasures, 'Count'); The process is really 'sticky' and at this rate might take all day. Sounds...

Re: Cube data into SQL table columns

The view used as the data source in your TI process needs to be configured to only have the C level measure in it. No need to have all the individual measures in it since you are going to retrieve them with the CELLGET.

Re: Cube data into SQL table columns

If you don't want to change anything in TM1 you can also modify your SQL to accomplish the same thing. In your SQL you have an IF EXISTS that searches for the existence of the record and, if it does not exist, adds it with no values for the measures. Then below that you do an UPDATE that updates the...

Re: SQL Query Length Limit for TI

why you dont create a SQL View and just import the View? Better yet, use a stored procedure. Each individual INSERT INTO statement is going to have to be compiled before execution. Depending on how often you call the query this can really add up. Stored procedures don't have to be compiled each tim...

No, but the elements are not changing dynamically when i select the dimension, i tried it That's probably because your TM1RPTROW formula in cell B17 is not set up properly to pull back all the elements in the dimension.
