I'm curious, can anyone tell me whether an Android TM1 client could theoretically be developed by a third party using the Java API? A quick google doesn't turn anything up.Alan Kirk wrote:Inevitable I suppose; no idea whether TM will float down this path eventually[1]

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
No takers eh ? Perhaps I was a little too vague. I'll attempt to clarify:
* Is it possible to do anything useful via the API? By useful I basically mean pull data from a cube in a reasonably performant fashion.
A search of the forums didn't return too much about the Java API. I did look for the API documentation but it wasn't in the location specified by this technote - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21440270, at least on my setup.
* I'm assuming that given android apps are developed in Java, they could easily use TM1's Java API. Is this right?asutcliffe wrote:I'm curious, can anyone tell me whether an Android TM1 client could theoretically be developed by a third party using the Java API?

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
It was kind of a nonsense type question. Of course you can develop something using the Java API, that's what it's for. I personally wouldn't waste my time as I think the time would be better spent on creating a browser-based app.

Suggest you look at

No idea what it's like, but IBM are pushing Active Reports pretty hard. I've been working to push TM1 data through to Active Reports, and had some success, but only some. I'd very much like to hear from others who have tried this.

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
Unconfirmed news but 10.2 will have iPad capability . Again straight from the horses mouth and but would not bet a dime on it.
There is plenty of documentation on the JAVA API in the TM1JavaApiDocs\com\applix\tm1 in 10.1 , good luck with it.
Would you like to write back to TM1 ? or just view Data ?

Looks interesting... I'd not seen that before, thanks David.David Usherwood wrote:Suggest you look at

Thanks, am hoping to be let loose on a 10.1 test box sometime this week.nick_leeson wrote:Unconfirmed news but 10.2 will have iPad capability . Again straight from the horses mouth and but would not bet a dime on it.

Both ideally but hadn't really thought that far ahead. I'm only contemplating it as a way to teach myself a bit of app development. It's nice to know it's not a complete non starter.nick_leeson wrote:Would you like to write back to TM1 ? or just view Data ?

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
Based on what was said at Vision 2012 I believe that would be an Android MHT viewer for Active Reports. If I'm right you'll need to get into Report Studio (Reporter on CX).
I'm going to echo my earlier plea here - am I the only person who's having isssues creating decent ARs over TM1? Anybody out there?

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
David you are on the ball there with AR's on TM1. I have used it for a happy client and visually its spectacular and pretty fast too.
Is (Reporter on CX) the same as Active Reports ? I

Re: Development of a TM1 app for android
And what's your issues? It's basically all the same issues with Report Studio over TM1, filtering, Dynamic Query mode, etc. But ARs are generated in background, so performance is not so important.David Usherwood wrote: I'm going to echo my earlier plea here - am I the only person who's having isssues creating decent ARs over TM1?
