Hello all,
I am trying to use the new hierarchies functionality. However, it seems that this functionality has been disabled:
I added the new cfg entry and I restarted TM1:
I am an Admin user in TM1 and PAW. The PAW version is 2.0.29, TM1 is also certainly recent enough:
I did not find a Capability in TM1 that might need to be set.
What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Wim

Re: New hierarchy creation is disabled
Hi Wim
Are you using PAW? We don't have a license for that so I can't comment, but I have created hierarchies using TI. I think for any practical purposes, TI is going to be the way to go, since the hierarchies will need to be maintained in much the same way as the underlying dimension. For example, we might knock up a measures dimension in the dimension editor, but we don't generally maintain the Account hierarchy that way - we use TI.
As far as I can remember, the only thing that needed to be changed to do this in TI is the TM1S.CFG setting you have already identified.
Presumably the user that user are using does have Admin rights?
Regards
Paul Simon

Re: New hierarchy creation is disabled
Hello Paul,
Thanks. I use both PAW and Perspectives (the latter to just execute a TI process).
In fact, I checked the manual approach of creating a hierarchy, since the TI approach did not work. Same error message.
I will now look at the users but the user I used is an Admin user in TM1.
Running the TI process in Perspectives with that Admin user gives the same error message in the message log, the fact that "New hierarchy creation is disabled".
In PAW I use the same user from TM1. It shows as Administrator:
I would assume this user is able to create a hierarchy ?
Best regards,
Wim

Re: New hierarchy creation is disabled
Further testing:
I added a new user in TM1 as part of the Admin group, I logged on in PAW with that user. I logged out.
With the real Administrator user in PAW (the one from the earlier tests) I changed the role of the test user to 'Modeler'.
I logged on with the test user, I tried to create a hierarchy and I get the same message that hierarchy creation is not enabled.
This exercise is getting urgent for me. Does anyone see other tests that I could do ? Thank you.

Re: New hierarchy creation is disabled
Case solved. I changed a CFG file in the TM1 data directory whereas the real CFG file was in a different folder. I should have checked that earlier.
