Re: Will new hierarchy on dimension affect the performance?

Is there a way of writing this in MDX? Sure, just use the recording feature of the subset editor and it will write the MDX for you. Basically you want to filter for the name of the parent element, do a drill down member on that, and then filter the result to only level 0. Then just save that subset...

Re: Not a legal OleAut date

You probably should just send your future questions directly to Mike. He and Richard Creeth (and maybe a few others?) are the people that created OLAPObjects so the're the folks that are going to know it inside out. It's a niche tool and I don't know that there are many people using it.

Have you tried stopping and re-starting the TM1 service? Also issue an "iisreset" command on the web server too.

Re: Feed Data into multiple elements through TI

Yes am using }Groups Dimension in my Cube. So is that possible to load data to all Groups so that each person in each group can edit it... Regardless of whether or not this is a good idea you can certainly write the same data to each element in the }Groups cube as long as the }Groups dimension is p...

Re: Design question

There are a number of options and the answer lies in how do you want to be able to analyze data. 1) Put a Sector and Country attribute on the Customer dimension. This is not a very good option because you would only be able to filter subsets of customers off this and it wouldn't provide subtotals an...

Re: TM1Web Login Error

I don't know if this is an issue with TM1Web but in general I would never have a user and group with the same name. Create a group called Demo_g, make the user a member, and see if that works in Web.

Re: TM1 Performance Declined

How do you usually withdrawn rules and replace it with data? Because once the rules are turned off, I believe the data will be gone? The concept is simple although the execution of that might not be. It depends on how your rules are written. You will want to take a particular year or version, or wh...

Re: Without data migration and break back

I found another extremely tedious method of doing this by exporting the cube data to cma files and once the server folder has been copied from QA to Prod, use TI process to import the data into all cubes from the cma file that were previously created. This is no way an elegant method either. Like D...

Re: TM1 loading very slow.

I noticed something - the tm1sd.exe is holding up 19 GB of memory when the total is 21 GB. This is your key clue as to why the response is slow. You need to go back to your developer and have them do a re-analysis of your system to see whether or not using 19GB makes sense given your data. If that ...

Re: Data source for TI Process.

Any other factors that would influence this choice besides performance? Thanks. if you go the ODBC route (which is the one I re...

Re: Dynamic slice is a classic slice

The Dynamic Slice functuionality slice doesn't exist in 9.5.1 as that has been replaced by Active Forms. I can't think of anything that you could do in Dynamic Slice that can't be done in Active Forms, plus Active Forms adds a whole lot more and better functiionality.

Re: FIFO Allocation
