Re: Latency Dilema

Thanks Tomok I did of course forget to mention that a small number of my users do indeed connect to global TM1 applications on slow connections using RDP and indeed this does work well. Educating users where to save remote local files, however provides endless fun! Thanks the tip about PA local That...

Latency Dilema

Hi all I'm interested in the thoughts of the community on deployment of TM1 to global users through a single instance My current architecture is multi-local with replication* Most users connect to LAN-based TM1 via the traditional Excel addin which works well. *(and yes, this is still v9.5.2 sp3) Mo...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

This approach also enables a rather neat managable solution for deploying the change across multiple clients and servers At the client, the certificate authority file is in the client options dialog. Retain the existing applixca and deploy tm1ca_v2 to the bin\ssl folder in advance of making server c...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

Hi there I'm working on the expectation that the interim fix will contain updated 1024 bit certificate files All that would be needed is to replace the three pem files on the server ssl folder and the applixca.pem on the clients My production environment is on 32bit 9.5.2 sp3 so I am expecting that ...

Re: Changing wireless internet connection stops TM1 service

Here's my hot tip for running a local edition of tm1 without suffering when network configuration changes 1) Disconnect from wired and switch off wireless This ensures that your machine's IP address is now the loopback 127.0.0.1 2) Stop any TM1 services - if running in foreground, close the admin se...

Sharing Sandboxes

Sandboxes are a great feature to allow people to carry out private what-ifs against cubes during a planning task What would be even better would be a way to share this with colleagues - a collaborative sandbox. Given that sandboxes are built from the sandbog logs, I suppose that it is possible to co...

Access to logging folder via TI

Hi all I was contemplating creating custom logging of TI process activity - to capture parameters etc I could hard-code the path to the logging folder - but thought it would be better to pick up the logging path from the system - as declared in tm1s.cfg Any ideas? I didn't see anything in TI variabl...

Re: TM1Top 9.4

This error is caused by the absence of the correct MS VC80 runtimes Since 9.4, TM1 is compiled with version 8.0.50727.762 and is probably missing from the target machine These components are stored in the Windows\SXS folder This comes from the VC++ redistributable 2005 sp1 - download and install it ...

Re: Release of TM1 9.5.1

Interesting? new feature - the 951 installation adds a new folder Trui, containing transui_dll.dll.
This appears to be connected with Cognos Transformer

Both TM1 Architect and the Excel Addin complain if it is missing

Integration of data from multiple TM1 servers

I have a number of TM1 servers distributed around the world - all running TM1 v9.1.4 (32 bit) They run local variations of a financial planning application and although dimensions and cubes are similar, they have enjoyed a certain amount of local development. The challenge I am now addressing is how...

Re: No return() or halt() function found on macro sheet

I've seen this error message many times
It ocurrs with the old forms drawing objects in Excel 2003 and later
I have often used these for dropdown lists for navigating TM1 data in Excel reports.

My solution is to replace these with data-validation list items
