Re: Chore running - general question

I don't know if you have experience with .NET but there is a file monitor class that will monitor a directory for operations (add/modify/delete) and can execute code based on those triggers. You can then use the REST API or command line operations to kick off that process. I prefer this method just ...

Re: Monthly Poll 201508: What Mode Of Security Do You Use?

Yeah, this is a real pain when running lots of TI in parallel. The solution is to put in a 1-2 second wait between kicking off each thread. Allowing each thread some breathing room around establishing the login seems to solve the locking issue. For a work around we wrote a thread manager to be able...

Re: Future of TM1 UIs and APIs (Was TM1 C++ API issue)

FYI - Can't remember if it was Ronnie or Hubert that confirmed that we'll soon be able to use REST to do the same as TM1 Top (aka. Boot user sessions from the server) There was already a demo of a HTML based TM1 Top shown at the Conference (that just displayed the current sessions). This is actuall...

Re: Monthly Poll 201508: What Mode Of Security Do You Use?

For any of the people that have switch have you seen any additional locking in TM1Top with CAM as compared to other modes? We are in the process of switching (Mode 2 to 5) and our first tests went poorly with RunTI and CAM. We were attempting to kick off multiple processes in parallel and because CA...

Re: How to enable MTQ in Cognos 10.2.2?

It is important to note that MTQ will not be triggered by all queries. Many of the operations that BI kicks off are not multi threaded on TM1 while some are. The same goes for things like a some TI process operations. The MTQ engine tries to determine if a query is a candidate for multi threading, i...

Re: Is Cognos TM1 getting better?

For me the TI language itself is pretty good at what it does and I very rarely come across something that is just plan impossible. Nothing is impossible but things like - New data types (arrays, lists) would be very handy - Functions with actual configurable return values, to me process execute and...

Re: Anyone using TM1Web 10.2 yet?

Thanks for the responses - especially about the caching, I'll raise with IBM as well. I have come across some other bugs, so yes - very much a version 1 product which is a shame as some of the other features in 10.2 make this upgrade almost indispensible for us. It was mentioned in another post, bu...

Re: 10.1.1 Fixpack Releases

Is it sad that I opened up this topic and the first post I saw was about broken links days after the product release and then realized it was a post from March and not from Fix Pack 2 which also launched with broken links.

That being said these SaveDataAll changes have the potential to be huge.

Re: Backups - Data Directory or separate filer?

The biggest drawback is what happens when you have a server issue and your backup is on the server having the issue. Your backup is useless if you cannot get to it.
