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. This fun...

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: Tm1 free Download?

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.

Re: ViewZeroOut doesn't work

It's not necessarily a case of "of course" above... I know that there are still a few V10 users around and I'd bet that the occasional V9.x user exists too. (I inherited a 9.5.2 instance only a couple of years back but I grant you 9.0.x would be way less common than that.) But that aside.....
