Cube with 1 TeraByte of Data

Generally speaking can TM1 support a cube with 1 Terabyte of data? I've heard not but wanted some other opinions on this.

Re: Managing Sales Quota

I've found that since I've been using TM1 I have a tendency to over complicate things. I do have a version DIM and it holds Budget, Actuals, Forecast. I could simply add Quota and give it a whirl. But, in getting to my sales budget I have units sold * price by product, sales exec, account, region. Q...

So a cube would have a list of clients and the agent would hit a button and then TM1 would store info on the date and time when the client was con...

Enabling TM1 Sandbox in Business Insight

Have configured my environment so that I can drag TM1 content into business insight workspace. While I can access my cubes I do not have sandboxing. TM1 web, architech, perspective all have Sandboxing. Looked at Capability Assignments but everything is already set to "Grant". Any ideas?

Re: A Simple TI Dimension Upload With Consolidations

Thanks Alan. I figured out my problem while I was looking at my different levels. I corrected by implementing StateAbbr+Segment (NY-01, NY-02...) as the segment values. Still fairly new to TM1 so I expect that eventually I'll get to hand crafting my own code.
