Re: MDX With Member Dynamic

Good information Declan. In the first code snippet, I would calculate the variance based on the 2 variables above. Less hardcoded elements, shorter code too. WITH MEMBER [Period].[Period].[Latest Period] AS StrToMember ( "[Period].[Period].[" + [System Variables].([System Variables Lines]....

Re: PAW How to make View Filters work together

What you are looking for is something IBM has talked about doing for a long time, but I don't see it on the roadmap. https://bigblue.aha.io/published/30f7b700d5eb7d18cfdd19c793f4a10d?page=4 Basically it would be an extension of synchronisation where the target set MDX is dynamically driven by the s...

Can you expand on how would you like to filter?
Probably, which attributes are aliases, which are string attributes, which are numeric.
Something like the DType or ElementType functions.

Re: Failed to open temp file for processing tm1rawstore.<DateTime>

Thanks for providing the resolution.
I have never put that directory inside the TM1 data directory.
Just like the TM1 logging directory, never located inside the TM1 data directory.

Re: Bedrock delimiter

OK, that may be a long term solution. My question was, if I missed a detail or if I should use the function differently, because I never think, that I was the first one, who discovered an issue. :D If it is not a bug, but it is a feature, I can live with that. Thanks Wim! I would advise you to look...

Re: Action Buttons - VBA to Change Server Name

Hi Chris, It's been a while since I used code like that, probably the 10 years that have elapsed since my article. PAfE buttons are a different beast too. That being said, the article says what to do without these references (but you lose intellisense and so on). The references were visible (at leas...

TM1s.cfg parameter to have Excel serial dates

When we want to enable the use of Microsoft Excel serial dates instead of Planning Analytics serial dates, we would use UseExcelSerialDate=T in the TM1s.cfg file: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=pitf-useexcelserialdate However, this has implications, for instance on determ...

Re: Update a process with the TM1 REST API

What happens to the security assignments for the process, when you delete and recreate ?
In general, I try to update rather than recreate, to not lose other settings.
Another example, data against the process in the }Processes dimension in a cube: is it lost or not, when deleting and recreating ?
