Re: Upgrading from 10.2.2 to PA

Hi Cathy, the basic upgrade for us went pretty smoothly and the regression testing was without major issues to solve. However, I have to point out that we did not have complex Perspectives reports with VBA, so I wouldn't dare to comment on that. Also, we did not use Citrix with Perspectives, so in c...

Re: Upgrading from 10.2.2 to PA

Hi Cathy, it really depends on what you expect from your upgrade. Assuming you want to migrate to Planning Analytics Local, here are a few suggestions: You can install Planning Analytics, copy over your data directories, set up the services in Cognos Configuration and things will most likely work ou...

Re: Planning Analitics Local - Multiple Application Servers on same Windows Server

Hey Ottavio, I think you're making the right choice with moving away from your single server installations to a distributed architecture. If my understanding is correct, you had many servers with installed and configured instances of Cognos BI, and all TM1 components. If you are only using Cognos BI...

Re: subnm with variable overriden

Hi Micheline,

maybe it's clear for everyone else, but can you explain to me what you mean by "the user deploying the accounts"? Furthermore, can you paste the SUBNM formulas that you are using?

Thanks

Are you trying to delete the Cognos_Office_Connectio_Cache sheet itself? If so, I'd refrain from that. This is just how PAX works.

Hi Paul, thanks for the tip. I did get in touch with Soufiane, as you suggested.

Then, apparently one c...

Hi Everyone, We have two instances of PAW Local (version 2.0.33) running no different Linux machines. For moving content (books) between the two PAW servers, what would be the recommended way? So far I've come through this bit of documentation about the backup and restore functionality: https://www....

Re: How to use Tm1 Pax Apis

I suggest you forget about the .NET API. Also, do not try to convert your existing Perspectives macros. If you need PAX automation, I would start from scratch and by reading the relating documentation: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSD29G_2.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cxr.2.0.0.doc/t_...

Re: returnviewhandle

One area where you'd encounter it is drill-through to a TM1 cube view. The drill TI process would have that as a statement in Prolog. If you are new to drill-throughs, check the product documentation of Planning Analytics, you'll find good explanations there.

Re: PAW / PAX performance discussion

What kind of a setup are you using? I found running PAW on a dedicated Linux machine (i.e. running it natively without virtualization like on Windows) that has enough hardware resources really helps.

Re: Error: Cannot Connect to admin server at host and port 5498

Have you verified your general settings for Port(s), admin host etc both on the client (tm1p.ini) and server (tm1s.cfg) side? Are they all consistent? Also, for the client, are you using it from a machine that is on a different subnet then the server? Because then you need to open the port on the fi...
