Re: COG-310 Tips

I think it's interesting that Applix threatened to bring in on-line certification some time before the takeovers happened but they never managed to generate anything they dared impose on the resellers. Microsoft too have been threatening to impose certification as a requirement for membership of the...

Re: Replacement of Cognos Insight! by IBM support. Or not.

I hate to disappoint but I haven't raised a support request for TM1 for over 12 months.

The product is perfect now.

Alan I have never experienced the Grey Block of Doom, but it looks remarkably similar to the Blue Block of Demo Death (same position and size) that I got whenever I tried to show ISB to a prospective client. ("Look! You can dice and slice in the spreadsheet itself - oooh now isn't THAT a great ...

David

Do you mean you can't download it or you can't install it?

I don't have any experience of XL 2007, but managed to install without problems on XP and XL 2003

Re: Push rules vs. Enterprise rules

As Michel says, Push rules are what products that don't have "proper" rules use as a workaround. Having said that I do have a forecasting app that I built in TM1 (and which I am porting to Palo) that only ever uses push rules. It only forecasts at the N level (another of Michel's salient p...

I've never been near EV but I do do a lot of html editing.

I use Context (Free, Open Source of course)

It has the advantage of offering syntax highlighting.
