Re: Distinguish Between Consolidations and Calcs at C: Level

With the API you can determine if a rule is attached to a cell but not in TI.

Is this a theoretical question or have you come up against this and have an actual need to do this in a process, what are you trying to do?

Re: Corrupted dimension?

The "$" objects (.cub$, .dim$) represent temporary objects created during a save. During normal server operations and while the server is not running these files should not be there. If the server is down, delete them prior to restarting.

Re: TM1 Web - launch process

Probably because in TM1 Web there is a separate interface for processes which is the only area that processes can be run from in TM1 web.

In the Navigation Tree view pane, under "Administration" you will see "Processes"

Re: Refreshing feeders

Post your offending feeder so that others can have a chance to look at it to see what is wrong. Don't forget that feeders work only at leaf level.

Re: No read access to element, cannot view

If you have enough views to make it worthwhile you could reassign subsets and elements via code in TI or with API code. If you are talking about manually editing the .vue files I don't see how this is any easier than manually recreating views. If you do want to do this then yes it should be possible...

Re: VBA TM1RECALC Problem

What are you actually doing in your application? If you are using TM1 correctly then there should be no need to have worksheets referencing each other as each worksheet can be "independent" in an Excel sense and just reference the cube(s).

Re: VBA TM1RECALC Problem

Hi Helen, Consider using code tags. For what you want to do I think your code is unnecessarily complex as there is no need to loop through workbooks and worksheets. Application.Run "TM1RECALC1" calculates the active worksheet only (same as user hitting SHIFT + F9, this is the macro that ru...

Re: Can TM1 work for 50000 users? 500 concurrent users?

I have seen that you have posted this question on numerous forums with not a great deal of takers. In terms of data volume TM1 certainly is scalable, certainly more so than any other MOLAP cubing architecture. For number of users it is not the user count that matters but the number of concurrent use...

Re: Excel formatting of TM1 reports.

Presently we're generating reports in the user-required layout in this mechanism - a) We decide which view of the required cube would give us the data for the report - by rearranging the dimensions according to the report. b) We take a slice of the report which has the raw data - on to an excel she...

Re: Open ODBC Connections

Likewise I have only ever seen ODBC connections stay open if a process aborts. If the process completes successfully or with minor errors then the connection should close. If a process aborting is causing your problem then adding ODBCClose to the Epilog won't do anything since the Epilog code won't ...

Multi-threaded data save

We have had multi-threaded server loading for some time now and can now also multi-thread data loads. Together with 64 bit servers this has facilitated a huge expansion with the volume of data TM1 can handle. However this all comes unstuck when a data save is executed following batch updates. As the...
