Re: Rule on consolidated level and slicer set

I remember an issue where the Cognos BI infrastructure could not cope with a rule-defined consolidated value for which none of the underlying leaf level values were, or evaluated to non-zero, regardless of whether it was fed or not. Could this be your problem? I had to recommend a workaround where a...

Re: SubsetElementGetIndex TI function

The key thing is that by specifying a start index they have given a way of iterating over all the occurrences of an element in a subset.

Re: ConsolidatedAvg with several dimensions

ConsolidatedAvg gives you the average of all leaf cells below the one you have chosen with the coordinates. It appears that you want the average of the sums across client. You should be able to get this simply by multiplying each result by the number of leaf clients feeding into it. You can get that...

Re: TM1 Rule file unresponsive

It may be worth checking whether any of the feeders are targeting consolidated cells. If so then you might benefit from reading this.

The MTQ=All parameter is interesting. Do we know if that means physical cores or hyper-virtual cores? The documentation here did not specify.

It's a good one for an RFE. But until that comes along ...

Re: tm1s-log.properties for Process Parameters

It depends how your processes are being called, but if you are interested in parameters for processes called from within other processes they will appear as function arguments to the ExecuteProcess function in the calling process.

Re: How to prevent a commit / force a rollback

If you wanted N multi-threaded processes to commit or rollback in coordination (if such functionality were possible) you would have to have them counting success/failure flags and only commit when all N (including themselves) have been counted. This is known in the trade as a " two phase commit...

Re: Feeding a cell counter

You could also have the cell count measure calculated as 1. It would only aggregate the calculated 1s for the cells that had been fed.

Re: Dynamic Subset Created by MDX in TI Process

If you run this when for some reason no elements are returned by the filter, then your SubsetCreateByMdx call will fail.

This, and its solution, is discussed in this thread.

Re: .cub and feeder file are doubled in size

FYI - As of 10.2 TM1 is capable of removing data from the cube rather than just storing zeroes. Even pre-10.2, zero values are not saved out to disk and would not affect the size of the .cub file. As far as I was aware, when UNDEFVALS was specified it was the undefval (4.94066e-324 - see here ) tha...

Re: Localization of Dimension Elements with Caption Attribute

The other thing about the new caption capability is that you can use any text attribute. It doesn't have to be an alias. This means that you can have multiple items with the same caption. So if you have France->Paris and Texas->Paris you can call both the leaves Paris.

Re: .cub and feeder file are doubled in size

I doubt if this is your circumstance but just in case ...

If you have nulls on for the cube and you use ViewZeroOut in an import TI then it will write actual zeros to every cell in the view. These zeros will then get saved to the cube.

Re: New TM1 server configuration parameters in TM1 10.2.2.3

It is quite possible that a number of these have been around for a while but that this is the release in which they are first documented. I certainly recognise ZeroWeightOptimization and CognosMDX.UseProviderCrossJoinThreshold from before.
