Re: Perspectives performance for international users

The fact that the classic Perspectives / Client add-in has cr@p performance over a wide area network has been known since the days when cubes were carved out of rock and we used pterodactyls to carry packets between the server and client. Alan, Can I just remind users of older versions that the pte...

Re: IBM Planning Analytics On Prem

Any word on if "on premise PAW" will be part of TM1 (i.e. free to people who have been paying their licence) or an additional product? I understand that existing TM1 and ( I think) CX customers will be able to upgrade to "Planning Analytics Local" under their support agreements ...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

Moby, I got that in my technical notifications yesterday. They have released the new SSL certificates but have not yet issued an automatic updater. That's certainly a step forward, particularly since it seems the new certificates can work with 9.5.x. SO, provided the manual update instructions work ...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

Steve, We have had a similar update from IBM today and been told the updater will be released "as soon as possible" Which is not very helpful or informative. As I replied, the absence of a release date does not help our customers who are trying to plan for this. It seems IBM are aiming for...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

Some more informal info I've had today; NO patch for anything below 10.x is likely. Fix for 10.x is due to be released imminently - no date available but believe it just awaits packaging and publishing. Only viable options for those on 9.x is to either upgrade or generate / install your own certs. ...

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

Re: SSL breaks on Nov 24

The IBM stuff all refers to TM1. Has anyone heard whether they will be supplying similar fixes for Cognos Express? Presumably this will only be applicable for versions 10.1 and 10.2.1 since 9.5 and 9.0 are out of support and CX 10.2.2 is just vanilla TM1.

Ahem. A year ago he informed us. He warned us. It seems no one paid attention. Mmmm... A valid warning from Alan but it was buried in a very long technical doc! We have emailed all our customers warning them very explicitly that, if they do nothing, their TM1 install will stop working . And we used...

Bari That Lodestar post contains errors and ommissions and is not an accurate guide.

Re: Alternatives to Cognos Insight Distributed for Offline Working

For static reporting you can burst snapshots to Excel\PDF using the TM1 report generator tool. These can then be distributed\emailed with a custom VBA routine or using a utility. For dynamic analysis and reports you can generate Active Report packs from TM1 data. These can be viewed via browser, iPa...

Re: Is it possible to burst and email TM1 report using Cognos BI 10.2.2?

If you read through the post, the report in question is built in Excel using TM1 data, it's not built in TI. Errr..... not quite sure where TI comes into it. They want to use BI for email distribution of the report. Which is what my post, and several others in the thread were addressing. ie do &quo...
