Re: Ultimate Long TM1 quiz

Anybody else? I think it's one of the hardest questions in this quiz @MVPs, @Admins, can you share your thoughts also? [‘a’] = [‘b’] + 4; Well this specific case is highly, highly theoretical as I can't imagine any practical use for such a rule in real life. Seem as it is an open rule applying at a...

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

We have a few PAW books created in PAW and want to open them from PAX. The reports have attributes displaying along with measures. It's a completely different UI. Sure you could recreate a PAW book in Excel with the same content and layout but you would be recreating it. You could have a hyperlink ...

Re: Profit and Loss Driven By Dept or By Site

I think the easiest way to solve this (assuming the GUI is PAfE or Perspectives or Apliqo UX) would be to have a helper dimension which encodes valid reporting selections. (This dimension is artificial and just for lookups and isn't in the cube.) The helper dimension would have attributes for Accoun...

Re: Profit and Loss Driven By Dept or By Site

It's not possible to answer your question without you first providing more information about the current structure of the GL cube. What are the dimensions of the cube? Do Department and Site Code map to existing dimensions? What do you mean by the "measure" dimension? (Usually in a GL cube...

Re: Create Parent Child from N_Level Element.

You are going about this all wrong. Just accept that a element type in TM1 once defined is immutable. However, *news flash* it doesn't matter since you also have aliases. In your hypothetical scenario there is no need to do anything to "1234_A". The element doesn't need to be recreated, th...

Re: Universal reports

Is anyone aware of any utility that can help to migrate perspective reports to Universal Reports? Even if it does only half of the work, it will still be helpful No this doesn't exist and never will unless a 3rd party comes up with something. Because PAfE also supports slice reports and active form...

Re: Create Parent Child from N_Level Element.

What you are describing honestly makes no sense at all. In the real-world prices change all the time and in any sensibly designed system you do not change product code identifiers for a change in price. The same product may sell for different prices in different channels, or in the same channel in d...

Re: Architect/Perspectives to be removed from PAoC

The reason may be a little bogus but it certainly won't lessen the user experience for Modlers/Admins. And bear in mind that PAoC RDP and Arcitect/Perspectives are only available for Modlers not the general user population who have only ever had Workspace and PAfE. From a model building and administ...

Your OS seems a little outdated ...

Re: Can MDX work across alt hierarchies from one dim?

Looks like it gives me incompatible dimensionality error. Could anyone help to confirm? Thanks. e.g. Union( [dim].[a].children, [dim].[c].children ) This can't work by definition. The hierarchies are separate entities. No C elements are shared. You could use Generate to loop a set on one hierarchy ...

Re: How to avoid queuing at the end of processes parallelization ?

Data commit (the last step of the process) is single threaded / locking as it updates the cube index structure, so it might be the case when a lot of Tis are committing at the same time and are queuing due to this. It might be better to split data less evenly, so that they're committing at differen...

Hi MarenC, Thank you so much for your reply, but I tried this, this isnt working. And I am writing the rule in product attribute cube only. 2 rules I tried:- 1.)

Re: CubeSecurity and ProcessSecurity

If I am not mistaken, the TI process will generate error if there is command to update the cube. You are mistaken. TI processes always run with DataAdmin rights (full Admin if the "Security Access" option is also selected). Therefore users can update dimension and cubes they don't have th...

Why would you reorder to a worse dimension order?! When reordering the idea is to REDUCE memory footprint
