Re: TI Process Data Source Started Outputting Both ID and Alias Since 2.1?!

We went to 2.1.3 from 2.0.9.18 (IIRC) when we went to our new servers last month and I've not seen anything like this but that said ... it has been a long, LONG time since we have used views that are predefined and saved as a data source, at least for mainstream processes. For the most part we use t...

Retirement of the Forum

The Forum started life on 10 May 2008. There was a time when it was one of the few viable places to discuss TM1 or, as IBM would have it, Planning Analytics. It was the successor to the much loved Applix forum, which was in turn successor to a long (almost) forgotten Yahoo group. However 18 years is...

If you’d like to support TM1py, you can vote here: Done, though given that my vote came from me it may do more harm than good. It's worthy of winning, though.

Re: DimensionHierarchyCreate Vs HierarchyCreate

Maybe someone at IBM has a real OCD about symmetry? I'd probably buy that if it was an obsessive and compulsive need to "just make sh1t up as you go along without a plan". The deeper I dive into alternative hierarchies, the more I shake my head and mutter "You've GOT to be kidding me...

DimensionHierarchyCreate Vs HierarchyCreate

This is more random curiosity than anything. There is a function called DimensionHierarchyCreate . Its description in online help is: Last Updated: 2025-03-25 DimensionHierarchyCreate creates a new hierarchy in an existing dimension. The hierarchy cannot have the same name as the dimension.

Re: What's The Current Version, Since When?

I've updated the current versions given the release of 2.0.9.21 and 2.1.18 a couple of days ago, as well as the summary of the fixes in 2.0.9.21. I'll try to fill in the blanks later this week.

Re: DefineCalc on which version and apps available?

Why would you still do work in Perspectives ? PAfE really is the future. Not as far as I'm concerned it's not. That (personal opinion) cack-handed abomination crosses our threshold over my cold, dead body. When we leave Perspectives behind it'll be for Slice. Personally I wouldn't trust IBM to writ...

Re: Which platform do you use to write TI and Rules ?

Rules: Completely Arc.
TI: Almost completely Arc, rarely Perspectives. Notepad++ to do search and replace on patterns in a template which are pasted back to Arc.
Data: Mixture of Perspectives and Slice (Arc as an Excel add-in). Occasionally Python to the API. Some users at my site use TM1 Web.

Re: SingleCommit with MultipleCommit

The difference is a commit step after each of the TIs, or only 1 commit after all TIs are finished. With one potential "gotcha" proviso; it only applies to TI processes which are called from the chore itself. If you have to call (say) an upload process a variable number of times, and ther...

That's why you need Cubewise Arc. Comparing that the the advanced rules editor is like comparing a Ferrari to a Model T Ford.
