Re: More info on TM1Project.json file

Hello! Yes, using the (not) !ignore feature. But you have to save the tm1project settings before doing a git pull. I didn't get to play a lot with the tm1project setting because I didn't have time and the bad documentation also discourages me. Thanks heaps! That document is indeed very confusing an...

Re: More info on TM1Project.json file

So you have to manually list one by one if you want them included in the git as well, which is very annoying because when you're moving new dimensions between servers, its attributes will not be transferred unless you specify each "}ElementAttributes_Dimension" cubes to be transferred as ...

Re: TM1.Lock Contention happens on some dimension objects due to read operations in concurrent TI processes

We saw something similar in one of the models and unfortunately, there wasn't any real solution, we just had to 'commit' locks in different parts of the process earlier by running each portion as it's own RunTi with ExecuteCommand(...,1). Can you try running this process in the TIDebugger and see wh...

Haven't had a chance to compare performance yet, so a bit off-topic: Make sure you check licensing implications, as far as I understand, Enterprise Docker on RHEL requires a license. And community docker is not available on RHEL. being able to use community docker is one of the main reasons next ver...

Re: RunProcess and Process Ends msg

I'm starting to think that a sqllite instance to store the flags with guaranteed read / write might be better at large scale. I find this idea quite interesting. But in exactly the kind of scenario where immediacy of file writes might be problemantic with lots of multi-threadig and dozens of TIs ru...

Re: RunProcess and Process Ends msg

I second Declan's suggestion. File based semaphores are really the only way to go when running processes on independent threads. Reading a cell value (or attribute value) is vey tricky to get right because of TM1's commit model and which version of the data your monitoring process is rteading versu...

Re: Lock Contention and RollBack

Hi mce,

Did you end up figuring out the root causes of it? What version of PA you’re seeing this in?
We see something similar (although not consistently) on PA 2.0.6 if 19.

Re: Planning Analytics using twice the memory of 10.1

I’ll just leave it here for anyone finding this thread later: another reason for memory growth is that PA is preloading all the views and subsets definitions on startup, whereas 10.2.2 didn’t do that. There will be a parameter in tm1s.cfg to disable this behaviour in future releases, but you can che...

Re: Method for handling Rules for Actuals/Forecast periods

I usually do something simple like:

Code: Select all

[{'Forecast Version1','Forecast Version 2', etc for live versions}] = IF (DB(LookupCube(!Version, !Month, 'is Actual') = 1, ['Actual], CONTINUE);

FEEDERS;
['Actual'] => ['Live Versions'];

But I do not agree that the processes of orchestration are not solved.

As I said, process A and B would have their own transaction sets, so would not see the changes made by the other process. The process that finishes last commits its changes last.

Can I also jump on with some questions on RunProcess (don't have 2.0.6 to test yet): what's with transaction isolation in RunProcess? A simple test is to start with an empty cube with 1 cell.
