Re: Error Message

Sorry for bumping an old post.

I get this message if I have rebuilt a dimension whilst the cube viewer is open.
Cheers,

Re: Advice on Copying Large Identical Data?

When you have a view as a data source TM1 has to construct the whole view in memory before it starts to read it into a new area. If you have a large source view alot of the time can be taken while TM1 constructs this view in memory. What I've done before is to break the view up into smaller bits, as...

Re: Combining dimensions

Probably the easiest way is to us dimension worksheets 1. Right click on each dimension and select export as ASCII 2. Open the .cma files, you will see that the information is in dimension worksheet format. 3. Create the new dimension (TM1, Dimension worksheet, new) 4. Copy and paste both sets of in...

Re: TM1 Replication ?

Hi Vish, Have you tried to set it up as per the documentation yet? It's relatively straight forward to set-up, though in practice it requires a lot of work to look after and get working optimally. It's a pretty big area to expect chapter and verse on in a forum environment, have you got a specific i...

William,
In the scenario you describe I would definitely say this is a bug and I'd raise with IBM.

Re: Need help with the error message "SystemParameterTypeInvalid

Just to double check as it looks wrong, I'm no API expert....

Is the line you highlight in red supposed to have the "=" twice or is that happening when you post the code?

Re: put value in consolidated cells

The short answer is yes but without knowing alot more about your system I would not recommend it.

If you put

[]=C: stet;

At the beginning (after skipcheck) of your rule sheet then all C levels will become input, you will probably have a nasty slow running cube though.

Re: I_PROCESS

Hmm If you had a file with exactly 1 record in it and no end of file record then I suppose you could use I_Process to read it into a spreadsheet, since I_Process imports 1 line at a time. If you have a column of messages to read in then you could use I_Names. In practice though it's often more strai...

Hi Harry, Sounds like a possible bug to me too, though I would be surprised if security was this broken in 9.4 MR1 that it had not been raised on the forum yet as it has been out quite a while now. If you are just on the server explorer logged in with your test user is the security still broken or d...

VBA Operators \ and /

Just thought I'd put this out there for people as it's just tripped me up as I have spent a while debugging VBA trying to understand why a division was always producing an integer result. Through force of habit of writing TM1 rules using the "\" to suppress divide by zero I'd written apply...

Re: TM1 mdx to MS Access

Hi Faizal, I'm not exactly what you wan to do but if you want to launch something from TM1 that either writes data from Access into TM1 or writes data from TM1 into Access then you need to use ODBC / SQL and TI. If you want to do either of the above but launched from Access then you probably would n...

Re: TM1 mdx to MS Access

I'm pretty sure that you need to use SQL to read from Access since it is a reltaional DB not a OLAP DB.

To do this you need an ODBC conection to the Access DB and then put your access query as the data source on the first page of a TI.

HTH a bit!

Not sure if this is a duplicate of the above but below is link to a page that gives all the face ids for the icons you can put in tool bars, although they have been taken from outlook I think it's all valid for Excel too.
