TM1 cube not showing data in Analysis/Report studio

Post by vladino »

Hi guys,
we have a reporting cube in TM1 model that we would like to use in Analysis studio and Report studio.

In Performance modeler we can see all data, including calculated cells.
However, in Analysis studio and Report studio there is no data!

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Could it be because of missing feeders in the rules? We know that feeders are not working correctly and the calculated cells are not fed but this shouldn't be the reason, right?

Appreciate any help!

As you aware of underfeeding gives incorrect data ,so that could be one of the possible reasons. Are you sure that the data in the cube is correct,btw.
other suggestion is to build your report (crosstab, chart etc) using the required dimensions, then from each of the other unused dimensions select a relevant member and drop it into the context area at the top. Just a stab in the dark! Thanks

If the report is zero suppressed and you know the calculated cells are not fed then there is about a 99.99% chance that this is your problem.

The report doesn't even have to be zero-suppressed. For a number of years now the default behaviour for TM1 as a data source for Cognos BI has been to do server-side zero suppression. Which means that if your cube is not fed correctly you will see no data in Cognos. Server-side zero suppression can be switched off (at the price of worse performance for sparse views) by using a cube attribute IsUnderFed - useful in the rare case where you want to underfeed on purpose. Most likely though you need to fix your feeders.

Hi guys,
thanks a lot for your replies!

The reason why there are no feeders for this cube is quite complex model which implicates huge feeders. That's why we are calculating also C-level (either by using a formula or by ConsolidateChildren). So the data is there and even after suppressing zeros in TM1 view the data still remains visible.

I will try cube attribute IsUnderFed and let's see what happens.

There is another strange behavior... We have one cube which is published in two different packages. Building an analysis or a report using one of these two packages shows the data. But when we try to build exactly the same report using the other package there is no data. How is this possible??? The crosstabs are the same, the cube is the same and the only difference is in package selection.

Any idea?

There must be some difference between the packages. Maybe one is published as CQM (Classic Query Mode) and the other as DQM (Dynamic Query Mode)?

You could try is to turn on the debugger for view generation in your tm1s-log.properties file
log4j.logger.TM1.ViewArray=DEBUG

Create your report in Report Studio, run it and look into your tm1server.log. You will see the view requested by BI engine, which in turn gets sent to TM1 server. Is this along the expected lines?

One of the things that could be happening is that }HierarchyProperties cube in TM1 is not defined. This let's the dimension in title elements to use the default member which is the first one. It is possible that there is no data for one or more such default members. Try defining the defaultMember in the aforementioned cube, and run RefreshMDHierarchy in a TI.

I have documented this here ... https://everanalytics.wordpress.com/201 ... le_effect/

See IBM's note on }HierarchyProperties here ... https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... n4389.html
