Re: Time Dimension for forecasting cube

Firstly I would probably call your quarters YYYY - Q# as this way you can do alphanumeric manipulation to go through your dimension rather than relying on the dimnm method which relies on you always ensuring your dimension is built correctly and indexed in the right order. As currerntly your Q2 - 20...

TI Security

TM1 Guru's, I have been trying to get a series of TI's to be execute only for normal users in my TM1 Model. In the Process Security window everythings greyed out except Read and None. So for the Ti's in question i have set it to Read for the relevant group and this enables them to not only run but a...

Re: "On Event" chores

Came across this thread on a search for something else completely but thought of a potential compelling reason. We currently have a series of TI's in our live environment that we utilise when we need to set up a new Development or UAT Environment i.e. we take a copy of Live, postfix UAT/Dev onto the...

Could run a AI system which automatically designs and deploys TM1 solutions with that system Kyro! ;)

Was it a good deal, branded / non branded, or were you just maxing out the companies budget!!

TM1 Hardware (Notebook)

Hi, Looking at picking up a new Notebook, as mine is now dying a death after 7 years of loyal service! The obvious choice would have been to go for a Dell but after reading Alans comments in a previous post, dont really wish to run through some red lights! Any recent experience anecdotes would be ap...

Re: Hierarchy sorting issue

Hmm Interesting, i thought this would be possibly but having tried it, it appears not especially if you want the Hierarchy sort first as it will always structure it according to the original consolidation set up. ( I also tried clicking on the sorting icons a number of items, which sometimes works!!...

Re: PM33830 Macro function TM1RECALC1: ScreenUpdating handli

We went to 9.5.2 a few months ago and had the same issues. We are utilising a similar technique to lotsaram but instead we have one sheet which has the processing message which is visible and every other sheet is invisible until all the calcs and reformatting etc is completed. Once completed we unhi...

Re: DBRW - Error 2042 instead of KEY_ERROR

Andy, We have had the same issue when we upgraded from 9.0.2 to 9.5.2. Personally I do not see it as a Bug, and to my knowledge is not a server side setting. What we have done in our VBA when doing any DBR's is to wrap the statment in a custom function which will handle any errors. i.e. ErrorTrapN(D...

Re: problem with .rux file.

You might also possibly have an issue with your .blb files which tend to be formatting files for your .rux files. I have seen it in the past when copying .rux files from a backup when a server is down but I forget to remove the .blb files the server can corrupt the rule files as there is a conflict ...

Re: Deleting Dimensions

lotsaram, Yes we are on 9.5.2 here. Seems like you may have hit it on the head. As a temporary measure I am putting in an asciidelete straight after the dimensiondestroy rather than have a separate process to remove the .dim file from the data directory seeing as it is removing it from the in memory...

Re: Deleting Dimensions

Thanks Alan, Did some more testing to try and isolate the issue further. I wrote a simple Ti that had a series of DimensionDestory(DimName); in it for dimensions which existed in the data directory and were visible in server explorer. These executed fine and were deleted from the data directory. I t...

Re: Progress Check on a Ti via VBA (API)

Thanks guys.

I have used the TM1RunTI.exe and it works a treat. Rather than show a progress bar after that just showed a Processing Message with the time is has taken thus far in seconds with a max time of 90 seconds.

Its informative yet comforts the user knowing something is still happening
