Re: Creating and deleting services

Actually if the batch file is in the data directory then all that is required is

Code: Select all

EXECUTECOMMAND('RESTART.BAT',0);
as the default directory path that TI assumes is the database directory.

Re: Speed issues... strange, stranger and strangest

If there's to be any artillery barrage it will be offline. We have done large scale stress testing (200 - 300 concurrent write users) with load scripts. It's not in the public domain as it has been done with client data as part of projects. No argument that 9.1 loses out in raw speed compared with 9...

Re: Speed issues... strange, stranger and strangest

Processing cube views in 913 and 914 is extremely sensitive to cube optimisation (dimension ordering), much more so than 912 or 90x. The processing time can probably be improved greatly by optimising the dimension order (but still won't be as fast as 9.0)

Re: using a filtered cubeview as ti datasource

If building a report is your aim then pulling filtered views into a flattened cube doesn't seem necessary. First question are the views permanent or transitory? (by that I mean constructed and destroyed by TI and not accessible to users). If the views are permanent and you don't mind these objects c...

Re: Loading data and Calculations into memory

Unless the specific cube properties are set to "LoadOnDemand" then all cube data is loaded into memory when the database loads. Consolidations are calculated on demand. Once a view is loaded into memory the view is cached on the server and will be much faster for subsequent users to access...

Re: Admin account locked owing to wron password

Solution varies depending on the TM1 version. Some TM1 versions will unlock an account that has been locked due to maximum login attempts with wrong password being exceeded with a password reset. However, most versions of TM1 will only unlock an account that has been locked for this reason following...

Re: Rule error on dimension rebuild

Depending on the size of the cubes and complexity of the rules option 2 will definitely be more CPU and time intensive as it involves reprocessing all rules and feeders for the cubes. Rather than deleting all consolidations in the account dimension I would suggest unwinding all consolidations. (brea...

Re: Feeders between Cubes & Suppress Zero

The reason you don't get any values in the destination cube for consolidated values with the rule as N: (even with suppress zeros off) is that the leaf cells are not fed. I think you are most likely correct in your assumption about customer dimensions. My french is rusty to non-existent but I think ...

Re: Feeders between Cubes & Suppress Zero

Simple answer, if the rule works but you see nothing with a zero suppressed view then the feeder in the source cube is incorrect. In the destination cube right click a value (consolidated or leaf) and select "check feeders" (or whatever the equivalent French translation is) in the source c...

Re: Decimal places in ascii file changes

Hi,

TM1 will take the values in the source file as given, not truncate them. If your TI input values are rounded off to 2 dp then this will be due to a setting in the saving of the source data. To fix this you need to fix the problem at the source.

Re: Calculating the Number of Populated Cells within a Cube?

If the performance monitor is on then make sure to turn logging off for the }Stats cubes. If the performance monitor runs for any length of time then the log files will get very very large if cube logging is left on.
