Looking back I believe the ISB has not been supported since TM1 10.x:

Re: PAX custom reports

To be clear, the totaling happens on the server, using the rollups in your dimension - so if new elements are properly charted when they are added, the total will be correct. The 'custom' report retrieves values against the dimension element.

Re: REST API - Pull data for data warehouse

TM1PY is hands down the best way to go. But if you are insistent on doing it by hand then you could have a dig round the TM1PY library to find out what that does to format the response. Watch out for volume issues - I've seen writeups by Paul Simon inter alia that Web Services aren't good for bulk d...

Re: Remove duplicate elements from the subset

I recall that Hierarchy Sort has the useful side effect of removing duplicates - and it is supported by the MDX Record Expression feature:

Re: Annotation Cube: Loading new records

I've done little or nothing with annotations - but I see that TM1PY supports them and the methods look quite straightforward:
  • create(annotation)
  • delete(annotation_id)
  • get(annotation_id)
  • get_all(cube_name)
  • update(annotation)

Easily fixed - use weightings. This will also be faster. Adam is right that c level rules do not consolidate onwards.

A possibility - I got caught out getting Centos 8 from Centos themselves - but it turns out that only Centos 7 is supported. Sure this is documented somewhere :roll: I have run PAW on Centos 7 within Windows 10 Pro using both VMWare (Player) and (briefly - not a good experience) Hyper-V, connecting ...

Re: Separate measure dimension for each cube VS one singular measure dimension for all cubes

The drawback is that this dimension now has 100+ elements, for all kinds of special exceptions etc. Cleanup is especially hard (how do you figure out if one element is used in a cube somewhere in a big model?), maintenance is hard, visually it is not appealing at all. Really you don't need anything...

Re: SAP BW as a data source in TM1 (PAL) - Cognos Integration server (CIS)

Surely you should ask IBM for their roadmap for SAP connectivity :shock: One possible way forward would be to use TM1PY with a Python SAP library eg: https://sap.github.io/PyRFC/ or (from SAP themselves) https://help.sap.com/viewer/0eec0d68141541d1b07893a39944924e/2.0.02/en-US/d12c86af7cb442d1b9f852...

It's arguably a step too far to go to TM1PY just for a decent set of coding structures, but it certainly makes the experience more enjoyable.

Re: Turbo Integrator - Data tab dont run?

Most likely you have selected to skip consolidated elements but the selections in one or more of your dimensions have no N level elements. Easiest way to check this is to export the view to a file. It will have a cma extension but is in fact a csv file.

Per this thread, a TM1 string cannot be > 32k so that would limit an ODBCOutput statement.
