Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

How about this:

Code: Select all

{
   [Month].[Month].[01] : 
   StrToMember('[Month].[Month].[' + (Tail(NonEmpty([Month].[Month].[01] : [Month].[Month].[12]), 1)).Item(0).Item(0).Name + ']')
}

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

This is a joke right? I didn’t take it as a joke. When it’s possible to construct your TM1 DB so it doesn’t use/uses less IF statements, it will be faster. Sometimes it’s not possible and you deal with the consequences. Often times it’s trivial, but it might add up. Not something that I typically w...

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

What about adding Hier Name and N: with C: only if relevant? ['Dim Name':'Hier Name':'Y'] = N: MAX(0, ['Dim Name':'Hier Name':'X']); can we rewrite such rule without IF and MAX/MIN? For sake of readability I’m going to leave out the DimName/HierName/N:/C: ['Y'] = (['X'] + ABS(['X'])) / 2; I wound NO...

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

Question #42: You have TM1 server with sensitive data. You have a well-done security model in TM1: access to sensitive data is granted only to right users. But windows administrator can take DATA folder and launch it on his own TM1 server with his }Clientgrups cube file where he is admin. And thus ...

Re: Does the introduction of a rule to an area ever remove any existing data in that area?

Glad I could help.

Calling back to the same onboarding to TM1, I was told we should never have to restart the DB except when the OS needs to restart.

Any reason you’re restarting the DB weekly?

Re: Does the introduction of a rule to an area ever remove any existing data in that area?

Admittedly, there’s a lot going on in your post. What resonated with me the most was input data persisting after a rule is layered on top of it. There is a tm1s.cfg setting that controls this exact behavior. RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=SSD29G_...

Re: Best way to optimize feeders

Just some helpful information for me: - How long does it take to start db without persistent feeders? - How much RAM is being used? - How many numerical cells are populated?

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

It’s for processes that non-admins will be running and the process interacts with security in the db. Examples include creation of a dimension element followed by ElementSecurityPut. Without the security access flag set, the process fails.

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

I like the first choice the most but would opt for DB against }ElementAttributes vs ATTRS as wiser people than me have said it’s faster. I don’t like the Alias approaches as that doesn’t scale beyond 1 to 1 mapping. Same for DIMIX, that doesn’t scale when element order is different between ABC and A...

Accessing Planning Analytics Transaction Log in PAFE

(Admins please move to useful code if you find this useful. I can't post there.) The TM1 Transaction Log records the history of changes to cube values in your database. This happens seamlessly in the background. It allows you to answer the question: who changed what and when? It’s an invaluable tool...

Re: Is it possible to open a PAW report in PAX?

The reports have attributes displaying along with measures. Is what you're actually looking for displaying multiple attributes next to element in PAFE? Unfortunately MDX-based views (i.e. Quick Report, Exploration) don't support that. It is quite annoying because you can create a cube view in PAW w...

Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

[‘a’] = [‘b’] + 4; For this one, ['a'] will need to be fed when ['b'] is not -4. You can't feed from ['b'] because if it's 0, there's no feeding, therefore ['a'] will be an unfed 4. Assuming the model already has a "Config" cube, I would add an element called "Feed Static Addends&quo...

Re: Methods for Inputting Data into TM1 Cube

If you have access to Excel and access to TI, why not “save as” in Excel to CSV? If multiple files, I suggest writing a VBA that automates this within a chosen folder. You may be able to build a VBScript (or other solution) and then trigger the .xlsx to .csv within TI using ExecuteProcess.
