Insert Progress status in TI process

[pikolikoli]

Hi TM1ers,

I need to add status displaying the start and the end of a TI process.

I know that TI processes don't commit its data until the end of the process.

So I opted of another solution. I created a parent process, where I added a cellputS to my new logging cube( with status ' Running'). Then I called my original process using RunProcess.

Somehow, the cellputS didnt work even though both processes need to run in parallele. Any idea why ?

I switched now to using attributes, and it worked for me. The 'Running' status is added at the start.

I am writting this process so I can understand why CellputS didnt work but the attribute insertion worked?

Also, I would love if there is any better solution to go with ?

Thanks

Hi, below discussion might help. try to use asynchronous function, which CellputS is not actually.

If your status cube is small (which it typically is) then one way to commit value changes done via CellPutN/CellPutS in it right away is to invoke CubeSaveData() on that cube, which commits data mid-process and serialises the cube to disk.
Normally data is committed only at the end of the transaction i.e. at the end of the parent process.
