TM1 Forum

Gotcha, makes sense. Other than that, does it still use OLAP?

Building off of this prior post, http://www.tm1forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1059 could someone please elaborate on the major differences between Cognos TM1 and Oracle Demantra? I was posed this question recently by someone in our organization but I'm not familar with their product.

Thanks

Thank you to everyone who pitched in, I appreciate the insight.

Per someone's suggestions, I've copied the Metadata of the Process that loads our customer dimension. Maybe this will help out. #****Begin: Generated Statements*** vTotalRegions='Total Regions'; vTotalDealerPriority='Total Dealer Priority'; vTotalChannels='Total Channels'; vTotalCustomerClass='Total...

lotsaram - It would be a better design to have a "customer group" attribute in the customer base dimension and use the attribute for the feeder. I can understand your point on not using ELPAR and using an attribute instead, but I believe the reason we went in this direction was to avoid th...

mastertito4 - So as a starting point I would take a good hard look at that SKU dimension and get a really good feel for each one of the hierarchies and how it works to make sure I fully understand what I am trying to accomplish when I look through the SKU dimension load process and try to see if I c...

Tomok - My first step would be to get the documentation the consultant left behind and then read the section(s) about dimension maintenance, especially those pertaining to customer, customer group, SKU and model. I agree, but the documentation we currently have is sparse on details. Basically the on...

So if we assume that the customer hierarchy is wrong for some reason, what would be the best way to correct that?

Tomok, The reason against contacting our consultants is that our contract has ended for this project, and the significant fees associated with one-off questions is quite steep. My management wouldn't exactly approve of a $1000 afternoon based on a few questions, although I agree that it would probab...

First off, thanks to everyone who helped out, I really appreciate it. @Michael - I get what you're saying now with using those formulas rather than the parent. Also, you're right that the dimension has multiple hierarchies, although I'm not familar with how it was constructed as consultants did that...

Hello Everyone, I'm having feeder problems between two cubes which are causing TM1 to freeze and I generally have to restart the services to get it functioning again. Basically, actual data is housed in the SKU cube, and I want to feed that information to the Model cube. Examples of the dimensions i...

What happens if you click on the scroll bar and drag it up or down? Is it fast then? I don't use the advanced editor much, but have generally found the scroll wheel takes a long time and the only option is to drag the scroll bar. (I think using page up and page down works too). Martin The scroll ba...

Thanks for the suggestion. I wen't ahead and changed that file, but honestly the rule editor looks the exact same. Will that require a reboot? Also, another idea just came to mind. Could it be freezing due to an overly aggressive autosave timing? That may explain why I can get in for 15 seconds or s...

I'm doing this from an instance of Architect that is installed on my machine. I am using the advanced rules editor, only because that was suggested by our consultants (although I'm not entirely sure why, I just complied when they suggested it).

Hello everyone, I'm trying to work on the rules for a cube in the advanced rules editor (TM1 9.5.1) but it is extremely slow. As in I can't even use the scroll wheel to move up and down due to freezing. Using the cursor keys just results in delayed and erratic behavior. The title bar will generally ...
