Re: FEEDER Guidance DB Rule with Limited Scope

Based on what you are showing here, it looks like 'Revenue', the actual stored amount, is in the same dimension as 'Project Revenue'. This is good because it will help simplify the rule. If we step back and look at the facts in simple terms, it looks like Revenue is the determing factor as to whethe...

Re: Feeders for Zero values

But how would you write the correct feeder which also flags the 0-value? Based on the picture you have shown it's not possible. Feeders have to feed off an actual value. In your case the only element that has values is Mes1, and it doesn't have values in all the cells. The only way you are going to...

Re: FEEDER Guidance DB Rule with Limited Scope

I'll help you if you'll provide an english description of what the rule does. This one looks pretty complicated, or at least pretty involved. I don't have time to figure out what this one does AND help you figure out what the feeder should be.

Re: Email configuration with Workflow/TM1 Contributor

Or, if you have an SMTP server in your company, use a command-line tool to send e-mails (same method as Christopher suggested - ExecuteCommand from a TI). There are a few free ones to download from the Internet. The problem here, of course, is that this is still a "pull" mechanism, not a ...

Re: Create dynamic subset with another dimension subset

You can't do what you are asking. The problem is how is the Relation dimension supposed to know what you have "selected" in the Product dimension? To write an MDX statement to filter the Relation dimension in the way you want you would have to store your Product dimension selection in a cu...

That would be a correct assumption and if you are talking about people who actually know what they are doing the population gets waaayyy smaller.

Re: Multiple Source files

You can't process multiple data sources in a single TI process. Only one source per TI because there is no TI function for "opening" a file. That function is built into TI. A WHILE loop wouldn't do you any good because there is no way to open the next source. You CAN link TI's together by ...

Re: TI Process to Update Security 9.5.2

Also, in theory, you shouldn't need to run a security refresh if there are no rule calculations for your security cubes. But maybe someone else has a different experience with that. it depends on which TI function you use to update the security. If you use ElementSecurityPut then that includes the ...

You can't. You have to create the MDX code yourself and paste it into the formula or into a cell the formula references. You can use the subset editor to help you create the MDX if you want, that's what I usually do.

Re: Install error 9.5.1 64bit TM1PerfmonDLL.dll

You realize, of course, that the server version of TM1 is not supported on Windows 7? It will run, because I'm running it right now on my laptop, but that's no guarantee it will on your machine. You may want to try the 32-bit version, it is less picky.

AFAIK, your scheme is a violation of IBM's licensing rules.

There is also a client license issue to consider as well. Users can not sh...

I can tell you from experience you're never, ever going to come close to the speed of a flat file dump and then bulk load into SQL if you choose to do an INSERT row by row. There's too much overhead involved in the INSERT. The SQL engine has to check your INSERT statement for syntax, compile, and th...

With all due respect. Server Exporer, aka, Perspectives. is not Excel. The XDI and XRU Excel-based sheets are Excel. There is no equivalent for cubes. Of course you already knew that.
