Re: Pinpointing Slow Cube Opening - Cube Dependency?

Not understanding the concept of dynamic calculations, caching of results, etc. with TM1 will severely hamper your ability to do much anything of value development-wise. Not really wanting to get into an arguement about this. Just that you shouldn't assume people know nothing, and have never done, ...

Re: Pinpointing Slow Cube Opening - Cube Dependency?

Firstly thank you for your help and taking the time to respond.

Secondly, no need to be so patronising. Bit harsh that! (However great/amazing you are at understanding the concepts in a RAM-based OLAP modelling. Or how many TM1 manuals you may have read, or presumably written)

Pinpointing Slow Cube Opening - Cube Dependency?

Hello, I have cube which is 350 MB in size ('Memory Used'), quite small. The cube is mostly fed from 4 source/assumption cube data and then multiplied by a volume. When the server has been restarted the cube can take 10 minutes to open (i.e. not time for server to come up on restart, but time after ...

Re: Hierarchy Hell

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your reply. I have implemeted this and it seems to work of (just need to adjust the TI to remove 'Total' group names with only one child). Certainly produces the numbers I need.

Christopher,

Appologies but I don't really understand your comment.

Cheers,

Adam

Hierarchy Hell

I have a problem. Trying to get our HR guys on board with TM1. They have a HR structure in our accounting system (SAP) called org unit. Here is my problem: Consolidated items contain their own values that need to be added to the consolidation, as below. CEO (1) ---- PERS (20) ---- IS (25) ---- FIN (...

Re: Deleting log-files older than < x > days with TI

Thanks for that.

I was worried that deleting the cogserver.log file would cause a problem, but I guess that file never gets older than the last time Cognos was used.

Re: Deleting log-files older than < x > days with TI

This question has just popped up for us.

We want to delete older log files but are not sure which ones we need to keep hold of.

Also have Cognos Express.

Re: Copy part of a Dimension

Just as a follow up to this for those who may be interested. To get the top level ('C' in the example) I had to put an or (%) in my formula as below.

Code: Select all

If( elisanc( pSourceDim, pAncestor, vElement) = 1 % vElement @= pAncestor) ;

Re: Copy part of a Dimension

Thanks for all your replies. I have seen the bedrock site and used some of the code on there. Makes things a lot easier as I get something that works and can then pick it a apart to understand how, rather than sitting here scratching my head.

The elisanc is exactly what I was looking for.

Cheers!

Copy part of a Dimension

Hi, Does anyone know of an easy way to copy part of a dimension to another dimension through TI? Example being the below. The dimension has multiple alternate hierarchies and I want to create a new dimension made up of just C and its children. A --1 --2 --3 B --1 --3 C --1 --2 --3 (the numbers are c...

Re: Do I need to / how do I concatenate in rule

Not sure how things should work but that space makes all the difference. Took the space out and restarted the server, feeder doesn't work as I want it to, put the space back in and everything is fine again!

Re: Do I need to / how do I concatenate in rule

Thanks for that. I think we're almost there now!!!

Last issue (hopefully).

In the destination cube the start month is being fed but the months after are not. They appear but do not consolidate. (I have a feeling that didn't make sense so I've added a picture)

Re: Cognos Express

Whorty,

Plenty of data spreading and breakback functionality, including growth % and proportional spreading etc. Not sure about public docs, but the IBM help guides are pretty decent, and other than that this forum has been very helpful.

Re: Cognos Express

Whorty, We are currently implementing Cognos Express at the moment. There are restrictions on the number of licences, and number of instances per server (and everything is on 1 server!). From the TM1 perspective there doesn't appear to be a lot missing. From the BI perspective I believe there are so...
